Peter Gabriel / Back to Front: Live in London deluxe sets
Peter Gabriel‘s S0-celebrating Back to Front tour was filmed at London’s O2 in October 2013 using the latest ultra high definition 4K technology.
This concert film of this show is released on DVD and blu-ray in June 2014 with both formats available in standard and deluxe configurations. The normal editions are standard one-disc affairs, but it gets more interesting with the deluxe editions which come packaged as 60-page photo-books and are four-discs sets.
The deluxe Blu-ray (or DVD) comes with two CDs of the complete Back to Front show, which includes the first ever complete live performance of the So album and a bonus Blu-ray (or DVD) which offers the 93 min theatrical version of the Back to Front concert film (showing in selected cinemas at the moment) which has some significant differences to the home video edit, including montage versions of Solsbury Hill and Sledgehammer featuring footage from live shows across the years as well as additional interviews.
The deluxe versions have 258 minutes of video content, while the standard versions have 142 minutes of video. Both have either DTS-HD High Res Audio or Dolby Digital/DTS depending on whether you opt for Blu-ray or DVD.
Amongst the bonus features will be The Visual Approach a behind-the-scenes featurette on how they put the Back to Front live show together.
Back to Front: Live in London is released on 23 June 2014.
