One of my favourite photos -
unfortunately it´s only a scan,
so i apologize for the bad quality:
Peter Gabriel in the Dortmunder Westfalenhalle
on November 10th 1993 at the end of the song "Secret
World" just before the encore break
when all the bandmembers have disappered in a big
suitcase and PG is "taken away" in a flying
saucer.

Peter Brian Gabriel
(born 13 February 1950, in Cobham, Surrey, England) is
an English musician. He first came to fame as the lead
vocalist and flautist of the progressive rock group
Genesis. After leaving Genesis, Gabriel went on to a
successful solo career. More recently he has focused on
producing and promoting world music and pioneering
digital distribution methods for music. He has also
been involved in various humanitarian efforts.
Gabriel founded Genesis in 1967 with fellow
Charterhouse School pupils Tony Banks, Anthony
Phillips, Mike Rutherford, and drummer Chris Stewart.
The name of the band was suggested by fellow
Charterhouse alumnus, the pop music impresario Jonathan
King who produced their first album From Genesis to Revelation.
Gabriel's departure from Genesis (which stunned fans of
the group and left many commentators wondering if the
band could survive) was the result of a number of
factors. His stature as the lead singer of the band,
and the added attention garnered by his flamboyant
stage personae, led to tensions within the band.
Genesis had always operated more or less as a
collective, and Gabriel's burgeoning public profile led
to fears within the group that he was being unfairly
singled out as the creative hub of the group.
Tensions were heightened by the ambitious album and
tour of the concept work The Lamb Lies Down on
Broadway, a Gabriel-created concept piece which saw him
taking on the lion's share of the lyric writing.
During the writing and recording of The Lamb Lies Down
on Broadway, Gabriel was approached by director William
Friedkin, allegedly because Friedkin had found
Gabriel's short story in the liner notes to Genesis
Live interesting. Gabriel's interest in a film project
with Friedkin was another contributing factor in his
decision to leave Genesis. The decision to quit the
band was made before the tour supporting The Lamb Lies
Down on Broadway, but Gabriel stayed with the band
until the conclusion of that tour.
