Peter Gabriel 1 (a.k.a. "Car") tour 1977

This page covers early Peter Gabriel solo concerts in promotion of his first album, in 1977.

The tour lineups changed between the first and second tour legs. For the first leg beginning February 1977, the line-up consisted of Peter (vocals & keys), Larry Fast (synthesizers), Tony Levin (bass), Steve Hunter (guitar) and Allan Schwartzberg (drums). When the second leg of the tour commenced in September 1977, there was Sid McGinnis on guitar, Todd Cochran (a.k.a. Bayete) on keyboards & synthesizers and Jerry Marotta on drums, plus Tony Levin on bass and Peter on lead vocals & keys.

The information presented here relates to the second leg of Peter's first tour, as there are more photographs available showing the equipment than the first leg.
