Back to Front Tour

Back to Front was a concert tour by Peter Gabriel, a retrospective performance based on every song from his 1986 multi-platinum album So played in sequence.

[1] The backing band included musicians that Gabriel toured with in 1986–87 in support of the album's initial release.

[2] Each night of the tour was recorded and released both separately and as part of a box set entitled Back to Front: Encore Series.

Gabriel was initially reluctant to play So in its entirety, but reconsidered after he witnessed Brian Wilson perform Pet Sounds from start to finish.

The sound system used on the tour was a 96-input Avid Profile D-Show console, with the device's native EQ features being used on the drums.
