RevieweDVD! Peter Gabriel - Classic Albums: So
Peter Gabriel
Classic Albums: So
Eagle Vision
Classic Albums: So
should be a definitive piece of any Peter Gabriel fans collection, as not only
does it follow the blueprint of most other Classic
Album entries by thoroughly diving into Gabriel’s head during the creative
process of So, but it also offers up
many other anecdotes far more worthy of your consumption. Hearing the
explanation behind Gabriel’s reluctance to title his albums, a noteworthy story
straight from the horse’s mouth of So producer
Daniel Lanois is excellent, as well as how he had to practically convince
Gabriel to use cymbals on the record. Classic
Albums: So also includes the story behind the creation of the
“Sledgehammer” music video, one of the coolest videos of all time (the making
of the “Sledgehammer” video is included in the bonus features). Going inside
Gabriel’s mind as he was putting together So,
the most successful record of his tenured career, far exceeds the price of
admission of Classic Albums: So, a
DVD offering that leans closer to the must-own side of the tracks.
Grade: B+
