Pno, Gtr, Vox, Box (84 Live Performances)
The double CD "Pno, Gtr, Vox" (Fie 9134), released in September 2011, drew on live performances from concerts in Japan and the UK in 2010 and showed Peter at the peak of his powers, pushing and stretching both himself and the material into and out of shape. It followed a matrix originally set down in the Tokyo shows: one set was of piano songs only, the other of guitar only. "Pno, Gtr, Vox, Box" is a limited edition (2000 copies only), deluxe box set which greatly expands on the original double, both Cds of which are included.
Five additional discs make up the set. Two complete the "Tokyo themes": one a set of VdGG/VdG songs, the other a set imagining "What if I knew this was the last show I'd ever do?". Other sets are "Songs I didn't play in Japan", "Songs I dropped from the setllists" and "The best alternate versions". Each CD comes in a glossy wallet featuring photographs from Peter's personal collection of dressing room and way-to-the-stage shots and the Box is completed with a 24 page booklet.
This is a classy piece of work and serves not only as a testament to Peter's current performances but also, by the nature of the fact that songs are taken from all stages of his career, as a significant retrospective collection.
2000 copies only!
