Peter Gabriel: New Blood - Live in London [Blu-ray] Reviews

Peter Gabriel: New Blood Live in London is a fascinating look at the performer’s latest iteration.  It works both as an audio/visual record of his latest tour and as a look at where he currently stands with his catalogue.  In this concert, he’s working with a 46-piece orchestra, eschewing the rock instrumentation originally designed for his songs and carving out new territory far from the sampled and synthesized materials found on many of his records.  I can’t say that every song benefits from this approach, but some certainly do.  The 2D Blu-ray of this concert is a straightforward look at the concert without the 3D bells and whistles, and with one additional song included (“Washing of the Water”).  For Peter Gabriel fans who have HDTVs but do not have 3D capability, this is an easy recommendation.
