When Peter Gabriel released his latest offering Scratch My Back, there were some rumblings from older, self confessed Genesis fans that what Peter was releasing was not in the vein they had been used to.

The album was a covers delight, but with a twist, relying on the concept of using an orchestra to get the music across, rather than the usual tired instruments. Judging by the near capacity audience who had made the journey to the o2 Arena in London, there was a healthy dose of intrigue and curiosity on how the album would play out live.
