Peter Gabriel - The Greek Theater - Berkeley, CA

Tonight was an experience. I have been a big Peter Gabriel fan for quite a while, but had never seen him perform live before. He doesn't tour much, and doesn't do long stints in the US.

So when I heard he was coming to the Greek Theater in Berkeley, I immediately looked up tickets.

$100 minimum, for the lawn... and up from there.

I couldn't afford that right now, so I had the idea to try to get a photo pass instead. Watching Gabriel perform 3 songs would be better than none, right? Three different sources (four, if you count myself) all pulling their contacts like crazy, just to get four "no"'s earlier this week.

I made my peace with it, and just as my disappointment level dropped back down to normal, I get an email from JC (of theFIVE10 Radio) confirming a photo pass and a ticket for the duration of the show!

Needless to say, I freaked out a bit.

The show was incredible, and I'm sorry but I nailed those photos. Here are a few of my favorites from tonight:
