PETER GABRIEL IN AUSTRALIA. WOMAD 1993- SECRET WORLD TOUR 1994.

    A belated attempt at documenting the Australian tours, using press accounts and personal memories. However, anyone else who has any tour memories, reviews or photographs that could be used to add to the documentary evidence presented here- please contact mrarchive50@gmail.com

   These pages should have been constructed years ago, when events were fresh in the mind and we were still struggling to comprehend just how frigging BRILLIANT Gabriel's shows actually were . But I didn't even have a computer in 1993 , so , better late then never .

The Womad visit in 1993 is fairly well documented , as the local press and government were boosting Womad for all they were worth , in an attempt to establish the festival and ensure it remained in Adelaide. Even then though, Gabriel maintained a fairly low profile and regretably , even though many of the acts were broadcast on radio, neither of Gabriel's sets were amongst them .

    As for the Secret World Tour , unfortunately, even though this was the first ever tour in Australia by Gabriel, only a few of the concerts were even reviewed and again no broadcasts or interviews were conducted as far as I am aware. Mysteriously, there also appear to be no recordings circulating of any of these shows . However there is enough to provide a page or two on this site and hopefully this will grow as people who attended the shows come out of the woodwork , for the moment , if you were there , then you can feel smug in the knowledge that you were a witness to one of the greatest tours ever to come to Australia, even if it was minus the amazing thrust stage used in Europe and the states.
