Tell me more: Few artists have had the kind of lasting and wide-ranging impact as English singer-songwriter Peter Gabriel. Whether helping shape prog-rock with Genesis, elevating music videos to high art, or fusing world music and rock in ways that previously seemed impossible, Gabriel continues to inspire. On “Back to Front – Live in London” (available on DVD, Blu-ray and a multi-format deluxe edition), Gabriel celebrates the 25th anniversary of his greatest commercial achievement by performing 1986′s “So” in its entirety for the first time ("Red Rain" remains as powerful as ever). Filmed over two glorious nights at The O2 in London, “Back to Front – Live in London” not only features Gabriel performing the songs from “So,” but other gems including “Family Snapshot,” “Digging In The Dirt” and “Solsbury Hill.” Information: EagleRockEnt.com.
