Peter Gabriel and I
As a disciple of
Peter Gabriel's music,
I have been fortunate to have had
a few moments together with him.

On the 1992 Us Tour, during the song "Lay Your Hands On Me" Peter stood at the edge of the stage and slowly fell backwards into the audience. It was fortunate that I had left my seat in back and found a new one in the 5th row center. When he was passed to where I was I said "Hey Pete". He ended up going about 5 more rows past and then the crowd began to pass him back towards the stage . On his way back the crowd had basically stripped him of some of his clothing. To be clear, I wasn't one of those taking off his clothes. Although I was one of a couple who saw the shirt on the ground and were determining who would go home with it. |
