Though he played a selection of favorites such as “In Your Eyes,” his concert in Chicago was no exercise in nostalgia.
Peter Gabriel, left, performs with his octet seated around a faux campfire at the United Center in Chicago, Sept. 30, 2023.Saturday at United Center, the iconic singer-songwriter put himself up to the daunting task of performing 11 songs expected on a forthcoming album — including two selections yet to be released as singles. In thumbing their collective noses at predictable nostalgia, Gabriel and his extraordinary band won over a rafters-deep audience by way of surprise, devotion and craft.
Those pursuits also might explain why over the past few decades Gabriel’s attention turned more to humanitarian causes and political activism than the trappings associated with other Rock and Roll Hall of Fame superstars. He resisted calls to reunite with Genesis, the band that gave him his start in the late ‘60s and from which he departed in 1975.
The cleansing started immediately, with Gabriel and his backing octet seated around a faux campfire for an ethereal reading of the cathartic “Washing of the Water.” It carried through the textured undercurrents of “This Is Home” and anthemic liberation of an extended “Live and Let Live,” and informed the righteous protest of the Afrobeat-laden closer, “Biko.”
