Because KROQ radio would not shut up about "The secret Peter Gabriel" show,
and gave free tickets all day.
This small dance club for about 250, had close to 1000 Gabriel fans packed inside. To make it worse he was over an hour late, and the opening act, a mime tried to stall for an hour, by melting into a pool of tears.
The club was a small door that opens to a long narrow room, instead of the stage at one end, it was in the middle of the room with a riser for 100 seats. That's it! Then the band put PA speakers on both sides of the stage, cutting off the view of 60% of the people. The back cover is about what it looked like with Peter climbing on and around speakers to find the audience. And John trying to play guitar over his head.
I was lucky to be guest of the band not KROQ so I got in (many did not) and sat on the floor on the risers by the second row. I taped that night, but my mic was blown by the kaos. So I have 3 tapes of this show, this is the best quality stereo tape, and much better than what was circulating by far.
This was recorded from about the spot I created for the back cover, so just in front of the speakers, right side of the stage.
