Unfortunately all 2007 Gabriel and Genesis are not allowed here, so I will propose one I taped in the very very early days
of my live-shows hobby. My equipment was the same as the infamous Genesis tapes in Paris in 1981 (I seeded it a while ago)
but with little audience around me. The sound quality was very good back then but when I took my masters back to transfer
them, tape 1 has shown a considerable degradation which resulted in some hiss, while tape 2 with the last three tracks was
excellent. That's the reason why you will find a difference.

I have been to Brescia to see gabriel on his 2007 tour and I have to say that that show reminded me of this 1983. This was
the third show from PG in 1983. He had played two shows at the Palais des Sports on July 1st, and now was back for the last
chunk of the tour. The gig was perfect, absolutely perfect. For those who can understand french, listen to the introduction
to Shock the Monkey, it's hilarious!!!

Enjoy, as usual. LDB is back!
