  Seven Songs for the Week #100 - 5th Mar 24

  Jason Carty

  I went into a mini YouTube hole at the weekend of live Peter Gabriel in '77/'78. His '77 tour had a hidden Robert Fripp in the band off-stage, and the encore song was Back in NYC. Tony Levin was in the band back then, so 50% of 1980 King Crimson were present. In '78, Fripp was gone, but the encore song was The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. If that version of that track was readily available I'd add it here. Instead I'll add Modern Love, which if you listen to those early gigs, was a massive crowd pleaser, but PG moved away reasonably swiftly from songs as obvious as this one. I'm not sure has he played it since 1980.
