In 2010, Peter Gabriel released Scratch My Back. The album is made up entirely of cover songs including material written by David Bowie, Lou Reed, The Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Regina Spektor, Neil Young, and more. The concept for the record is that Gabriel covers songs by various artists and those artists in turn will cover Gabriel songs to be released on a future follow-up album called I'll Scratch Yours. Scratch My Back features only orchestral instrumentation; there are no guitars, drums, or electronic elements that are usual attributes of Gabriel records. A very brief tour followed the album's release where Gabriel performed with a full orchestra and two female backup singers, his daughter Melanie Gabriel and Norwegian singer-songwriter Ane Brun.The album generally received favourable reviews by music journalists and performed well on the album charts around the world, peaking at no: 1 in Belgium, No: 2 in Germany and Canada, and No: 3 in the Czech Republic, Italy and Switzerland. It also reached the top 5 in France and Sweden. In Gabriel's native United Kingdom it peaked at No: 12 on the UK Albums Chart on 21 February 2010, the week following its release.Peter Gabriel Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.
In September 2002, Peter Gabriel released Up, his first full-length studio album in a decade. Entirely self-produced, Up returned to some of the themes of his work in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Three singles failed to make an impression on the charts—in part because almost every track exceeded six minutes in length, with multiple sections—but the album sold well globally, as Gabriel continued to draw from a loyal fan base from his almost forty years in the music business. Up was followed by a world tour featuring his daughter Melanie Gabriel on backing vocals, and two concert DVDs, Growing Up Live (2003) and Still Growing Up: Live & Unwrapped (2004).Peter Gabriel Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.

Peter Gabriel released "Us" in 1992 an album in which he explored the pain of recent personal problems; his failed first marriage, and the growing distance between him and his first daughter. Singles taken from the album included "Digging in the Dirt", "Steam", "Blood of Eden", and "Kiss That Frog". Gabriel's introspection within the context of the album Us can be seen in the first single release "Digging in the Dirt" directed by John Downer. It met with less success than So, reaching No: 2 in the album chart on both sides of the Atlantic, and making modest chart impact with the singles "Digging in the Dirt" and the funkier "Steam", which evoked memories of "Sledgehammer". Gabriel followed the release of the album with a world tour and accompanying double CD and DVD Secret World Live in 1994.
The album was supported by the "Secret World Live" tour, named after its ultimate track, "Secret World". The tour spawned a live album and a concert film. The album was also promoted through a first-of-its-kind interactive multimedia software released for Macintosh computers called Xplora1: Peter Gabriel's Secret World, which featured several music videos from the album. Gabriel won three more Grammy Awards, all in the Music Video category. He won the Grammy Award for Best Short Form Music Video in 1993 and 1994 for the videos to "Digging in the Dirt" and "Steam" respectively. Gabriel also won the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Long Form Music Video for his Secret World Live video.Peter Gabriel Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.

"So" is the fifth studio album and seventh album overall by Peter Gabriel released in 1986. Many of its songs reflect a more conventional pop-writing style and became radio hits, others still retain Gabriel's dark, brooding sense of experimentalism. The album produced three UK Top 20 hits: "Sledgehammer", "Big Time", and "Don't Give Up" — a duet with Kate Bush. The album also produced three Top 40 hits in the U.S., "Sledgehammer", "In Your Eyes", and "Big Time", as well as the single "Red Rain". "Sledgehammer", peaked at No: 4 in the UK but was a No: 1 hit in the U.S., knocking Genesis' "Invisible Touch" off the top spot. The success of the album earned Peter Gabriel two awards at The Brit Awards in 1987: Best British Male Solo Artist and Best British Video for "Sledgehammer". This was Gabriel's first studio album to bear an official title from its inception.Peter Gabriel Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.

They are usually differentiated by number in order of release: I, II, III, IV, or by sleeve design.Peter Gabriel recorded his first self-titled solo album in 1976 and 1977 with producer Bob Ezrin. His first solo success came with the single "Solsbury Hill", an autobiographical piece expressing his thoughts on leaving Genesis. The album went to No: 7 in UK and No: 38 in the USA. Peter Gabriel worked with guitarist Fripp as producer of his second solo LP, in 1978. This album was leaner, darker and more experimental, and yielded decent reviews, but no major hits.Peter Gabriel's interest in music technology is considered by many people to be the spark of his success as it inspired his third album. The third album is often credited as the first LP to use the now-famous "gated drum" sound. The album achieved some chart success with the songs "Games Without Frontiers" at No: 4 in U.K and No: 48 in U.S. "I Don't Remember", and "Biko". Arduous and occasionally damp recording sessions at his rural English estate in 1981 and 1982, with co-producer/engineer David Lord, resulted in Gabriel's fourth LP release, on which Gabriel took more production responsibility. It was one of the first commercial albums recorded entirely to digital tape, and featured the early, extremely expensive, Fairlight CMI sampling computer, which had already made its first brief appearances on the previous album. His fourth solo album, also called Peter Gabriel, was titled Security in the U.S. at the behest of Geffen Records.Alternate versions of Peter Gabriel's third and fourth albums were also released with German lyrics. Gabriel toured extensively for each of his albums. His 1982–83 tour included a section opening for David Bowie. Recordings of this tour were released as the double LP Plays Live.Peter Gabriel Tickets are available at Sold Out Ticket Market on nominal rates.
