Back to Front Tour


Back to Front was a two-year concert tour by Peter Gabriel, a retrospective performance based on every song from his 1986 multi-platinum album So played in sequence. The backing band included musicians that Gabriel toured with in 1986–1987 in support of the album's initial release.
Each night of the tour was recorded and released both separately and as part of a box set entitled Back to Front: Encore Series. The releases were limited editions and available exclusively from Gabriel's official website.
On 23 June 2014, Real World Records and Eagle Rock Entertainment released the live album and film ', recorded at the O2 concerts.
Gabriel played new original songs, "O But" and "What Lies Ahead", during the tour. John Cusack appeared at the 6 October 2012 concert in Los Angeles, recreating a scene from Say Anything....
Dave McKenna of ''The Washington Post' described the 14 October 2012 concert in Fairfax as "great".
