So - Projet Gabriel, the new tribute band to Peter Gabriel played yesterday at Club Dix30 in Brossard. What a fantastic show!
A show that combined the emotion, energy and virtuosity of the six musicians, you would never believe it was their first live performance as a band because they have captivated the audience from the first note of Come Talk to Me. An absolutely perfect playlist including big Gabriel hits in addition to the more daring and "proggy" tunes.
And what can I say about this splendid band... Charles Bellerose on bass and Chapman Stick
succesfully met the challenge of honoring the work of Tony Levin, François Corriveau drums set the pace to the exceptional evening, Daniel Marsolais guitar was brilliant, Guy Charbonneau on keyboards, programming and scenery offered us all those mystical sounds of the music of Gabriel, and I tip my hat to the two amazing vocalists of the group, Marc Léveillé and Marie-Claude Marchand, who were simply superb, earning several ovations during the evening with their emotional, enthusiastic and exciting performance.
Among the great songs on their playlist, they performed Shock the Monkey, Mercy street, Games Without Frontier, Here comes the Flood, Don't Give Up, San Jacinto, No Self Control, Solsbury Hill, Digging in the Dirt, Steam, Red Rain, and to end the evening, Sledgehammer and Biko for the encore.
They will be back on June 20th at Club Dix30, your chance to see a first class show!
