Peter Gabriel - Rarities, Volume 2: Live in 1977 (A MIKE SOLOF GUEST POST)

First off, my apologies to Mike for having to wait a long time before posting this. Hopefully I'll be much faster next time. As you can see from the title, this is another Mike Solof guest post, continuing his long series of Peter Gabriel solo material.

As usual, Mike has included a PDF file that explains things in detail (and with pictures). But just so you know what you're getting, this album collects all the songs Peter Gabriel did in his first solo tour, in 1977. The vast majority of it relies on a soundboard bootleg from Cleveland. (I've gotta say the sound quality is good but not great, but it's the best available from that tour.) However, Mike rearranged the songs in the order of Gabriel's first solo album, simply called "Peter Gabriel." Then the songs that didn't appear on that album come after that.

There are a few songs done on the tour that weren't played at that Cleveland show. So Mike found the best sounding versions of them and added them to the end. The sound quality slowly declines, to the point that two of the songs didn't make the usual standards and so only appear as bonus tracks. The rest are certainly listenable though.
