Hot of the presses:

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame artist Peter Gabriel will be showcased in Peter Gabriel: New Blood Live in London 3D, an exclusive in-theater event showing in more than 135 select movie theaters across the U.S. on Tuesday, September 6 and Monday, September 12 at 7:30 p.m. (local time). The musical event follows hot on the heels of Gabriel’s sold out U.S. tour. and features re-imagined orchestral arrangements of many of Peter’s songs that dispense with the traditional weapons of the rock armoury - no guitar, bass or drums.
