This visit to Forest Hills Stadium takes place in the middle of Peter Gabriel’s 1983 North American Leg in support of Security. The setlist hasn’t changed from the previous night in Worcester, and performance-wise, this is another fantastic Security show. While I prefer Rhythm Of The Heat opening shows, we get a great version of Across The River opening the show. Not One Of Us, The Family And The Fishing Net, and Family Snapshot are sheer perfection tonight (even is Peter is slight rough at points). The high tempo Intruder is also a fantastic highlight, and the show ends with a blistering On The Air and a great performance of Biko. Overall, a great performance, and one I’d highly recommend listening to if you’re a fan of these 1983 setlists, or just a Security Tour fan in general.
