	Well, well, well.  It was impressive indeed.  Anyone who should 
happen to have this strange space creature turn up in his/her area will
definitely want to have a listen as well as a look.  For those of you
who still don't have the slightest idea of what I'm babbling about,
Peter Gabriel gave an *amazing* performance last Saturday night (7/30?)
at Merriweather-Post Pavillion in Columbia, Md.  We heard most of his
latest album (which is called "Security" by his record company, but he 
would rather have it as just "Peter Gabriel", but that's a whole other
can of worms), virtually all of his third album, and a few things from
his first two solo works.  The performance was also a technical master-
piece as far as the stage show was concerned--the lighting must have
cost about a zillion $$$ and it appeared to be all computer coordinated.
To top it all off, P.G. performed his ritual journey through the
audience during "Lay Your Hands On Me" that left the bouncers helpless 
as far as crowd control was concerned.  Definitely worth the outlandish
prices they're charging these days.  Don't miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

	By the way, Gabriel is touring with Larry (Synergy) Fast, Tony
(King Crimson) Levin, David Rhodes, and Jerry Marotta.
