Having always loved the combination of film and music (aged 17 he gave up a place at film school to pursue a career in music) Peter Gabriel’s first opportunity to really marry these twin interests came when he was asked to create the music for Alan Parker’s film Birdy in 1985.

Further film work, including his music for Martin Scorsese’s The Last Temptation of Christ (that became the album Passion)…

and the soundtrack to Philip Noyce’s film Rabbit-Proof Fence (released as the album Long Walk Home), has continued to feed that interest.

“I have always loved film and any chance I have been offered to work with good film projects and good directors I have jumped at. This is a mixture of songs that have been written for specific films, and existing songs that found an appropriate place in a story. Consequently, there is a mix of different styles and moods.” – Peter Gabriel

Alongside those longer soundtrack commissions Peter Gabriel has also regularly contributed songs to a diverse range of movies and Rated PG explores this other connection forged by Peter between his music and film.

Rated PG is an opportunity to bring together in one place, for the first time, a selection of songs written especially for, or used to notable effect in, movies and includes new and previously unreleased versions, otherwise unavailable songs and a brand new track.

For Records Store Day 2019, the album is a single LP picture disc in a die-cut sleeve. Numbered and limited edition.

Good luck to everyone visiting their local record shop today. Hope you get what you want! #RSD19 pic.twitter.com/cTqqS9EQBE

Unforgettable Gigs, Genesis in Italy: Cuorgné (TO) 13/4/1972 – SPECIAL

13 Aprile 201911 Aprile 2019

La data del 13 aprile, a Cuorgné, in provincia di Torino, resta unica e storica nei tour dei Genesis.

Ecco la testimonianza in audio di Beppe Crovella, leader della band di Torino Arti e Mestieri – ASCOLTA:

https://www.facebook.com/beppecrovella/videos/3281989403288/

Così lo ricorda Mike Rutherford in The Living Years: The First Genesis Memoir (English Edition, traduzione mia):

“Suonavamo in montagna una sera quando Tony ha avuto un’intossicazione alimentare. Abbiamo resistito per un po’ senza di lui, ma è stato come essere in una macchina che aveva perso una ruota e abbiamo dovuto terminare presto il set. Poiché non eravamo riusciti a vendere molti biglietti, il promotore aveva la scusa che stava cercando per non pagare. Rich (MacPhail, N.d.R.) non ne voleva sapere ed era un po’ aggressivo. Il promotore aveva una pistola. Non siamo stati pagati.”

Ed ecco cosa ha raccontato a Horizons Radio Pierluigi Gassino, presente al concerto:

Il concerto fu interrotto perché il tastierista Tony Banks si sentì male… e come consolazione riuscii a scambiare quattro parole con Phil Collins , mentre Peter Gabriel beveva un drink appoggiato al bancone del bar della discoteca dove si erano esibiti davanti a pochi di noi… Ricordo che allora il bassista ed il chitarrista si aggiravano sul palco a fine concerto raccogliendo alcuni cavi e delle attrezzature… tutto questo prima di diventare delle rockstar!

Il mio breve dialogo con Phil Collins fu dovuto a un fatto che rese la serata per me e i miei amici ancora più amara perché uscendo non trovammo più l’auto nel parcheggio e, tornati nella discoteca per chiedere un passaggio allo scopo di ritornare a casa, incontro Phil fuori dal locale che si avvicina ad una Alfa modello 1750 con alla guida un tizio che pareva essere il manager.

Io chiesi proprio a lui, gesticolando in anglo-italiano, un passaggio verso Torino, spiegando il fattaccio appena accaduto e l’evidente difficoltà. Lui mi disse che stavano andando a Milano e non c’era posto, poi aggiunse che coloro che avevano rubato l’auto andavano uccisi facendo per scherzo il gesto del taglio della gola.

Mi salutò stringendomi la mano… bellissimo e amaro ricordo…!
