The veteran British rocker refused to live in the past during a slow-paced but stunning Saturday performance in Philly .
Peter Gabriel clearly wanted the audience at the Wells Fargo Center to have time on our minds.
Joined by longtime bassist Tony Levin, who seemed to have nearly as many devoted fans as Gabriel himself, the 73-year old singer sat by the fire with a keyboard in his lap for an intimate duo version of “Washing of the Water,” from 1992′s, released a decade later. Anyone hoping for a parade of familiar hits from the singer’s past catalogue would be in for a disappointment, as fully half of the 22-song set featured songs from, his first new album in 21 years, which has yet to be fully released. The album’s unique rollout is itself evidence of Gabriel’s offbeat approach and glacial pace: He’s unveiled a new song with every full moon since January, eight so far.
Though there was no mass exodus to the concession stands or restrooms when Gabriel performed the new material, it was clear what the bulk of the crowd was there to see. Classics like the salaciously silly “Sledgehammer” and the satirically indulgent “Big Time,” both from 1986′s massive, instantly drove people to their feet and their phones. Gabriel himself perked up for both, engaging with Levin and veteran guitarist David Rhodes in a few playful dance steps.
