Hi all, I am trying to find out the year of a tour I went to for Peter Gabriels solo career. What I remember is that there were some lights on the end of gantry arms that were moved around the edges of the stage on "dollys" on a small railway track. Peter then interacted with these lights as though they were singing partners. Can anyone help? I cannot find any photos anywhere and I haven't a clue what to search for!! Thanks Andy

I think that could be 1987 so tour.the lights in question were used during no self control and mercy street.

Interesting post - thanks Andy! Being curious I went and looked on YouTube and there are some examples of "No Self Control" performed this way (the second one was just uploaded on the Amnesty Small Places Tour 2008 channel) 1987 Philadelphia, Spectrum http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af5Zibzhcjg 1988 Argentina (Amnesty International) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0u1gLqoRJ8s Don't suppose there is any news of a DVD of PoV ? = (I have it on VHS, but would like the DVD eventually)
