humabass Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 WOW. What a great show. David Rhodes on guitar,another guy who played electric and acoustic guitar,mandolin,various flute type instruments,Rachel Z on keys, don't remember the drummer's name(wasn't Manu)...Jed something,I believe,and Peter's daughter Melanie singing the female leads. Some big,tall,bald guy,with two really long fingers on bass sounded ok but I wouldn't go so far as to say he was the greatest bassplayer in the universe or anything,probably just in this galaxy Opening act was a band from Uzbekestan called Savare(sp?) fronted by a female singer of the same name. Couldn't take my eyes off her. Beautiful,sensuous,the voice of the Cosmos,and in a zone of pure joy when she sings. P.S. Yes I know it was Tony Levin. I'm trying to be clever.

I really, really wish I would have seen Mr. Gabriel when he came to Seattle. I did get to hear Tony Levin being introduced as 'the Lord of the Underworld' by Peter Gabriel and then the first 60 seconds or so of 'Solsbury Hill'. My evil bastard of a friend called me on his cell phone and just held it up so I could hear what was going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
humabass Posted June 23, 2003 Author Share Posted June 23, 2003 I think Peter introduced him as "Emperor of the Bass". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizzyD Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Ged Lynch is the drummer, and yes that is Melanie Gabriel singing backups. I saw the Seattle show, nyah nyah! Incredible. Tony rocks, that's all there is to it. And a great guy as well. My site | Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moot Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Caught his last tour with Paula Cole singing the female vocals. Very powerful, fun show. Peter is up there with Trent Resnor and Danny Elfman when it comes to arranging genius. "He is to music what Stevie Wonder is to photography." getz76 I have nothing nice to say so . . .

BenLoy Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 Nothing wrong with the mention of a guitarist here in my book. I love David Rhodes as well and think he's a fine player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Capasso Posted October 20, 2004 Share Posted October 20, 2004 I have to put this show on my "must see" list. Levin kills me. So many times he switches from driving the rhythm to playing the melody in and out during the same song. After weeks of playing along, I still can't stop being blown away by "Fallen" (Sarah McLachlan). What songs did they play?

StacieDee Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Well, the Growing Up Tour covered parts of the last three years, the Americas and Europe, and consisted of many different set lists. Some of the mainstays were: Here Comes The Flood Darkness Red Rain Secret World Growing Up Digging in the Dirt Sledgehammer Games Without Frontiers The Tower That Ate People Downside Up More Than This Solsbury Hill Burn You Up, Burn You Down Signal to Noise In Your Eyes Father, Son White Ashes and Baby Man are relatively new songs that were added for the European dates this year. At various dates, Biko, Shock the Monkey, That Voice Again and San Jacinto were also played at various times. There is an excellent DVD called 'Growing Up Live' which was filmed in Italy in 2002. However, it might be best to wait, as there is a new release coming (possibly soon), which will include footage shot this summer. Yeah, I'm a PG fan. What was your first clue? Heh.
