Summary: Box set showcasing the music of Peter Gabriel; combines his biggest video hits with his best live performances.

Peter Gabriel has been a staunch innovator for the duration of his long career, and his videos have consistently been as daring and progressive as his music. Since moving on from his early tenure as frontman of Genesis--with whom he paved the way for new levels of theatricality within progressive rock--Gabriel has been a bold and influential voice in music. His quirky music is infused with a political sensibility that shows through in such songs as 'Biko', about South African activist Stephen Biko, as well as through his activities working with groups such as Amnesty International. He won a Grammy for his scoring of Martin Scorcese's THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, and is the founder of Real World Inc., dedicated to fostering interaction between technology and multi-ethnic art. This collection of videos is a boon to Gabriel's fans, featuring a selection of his notable, seminal music videos, including his breakthrough 'Sledgehammer', which used stop-action animation to create a video, the likes of which had never been seen before. Other videos include 'Big Time', 'Shock the Monkey', 'Solsbury Hill', and 'Father Son'. The second title in this box set contains Gabriel's in-the-round performance at the Filaform in Milan, Italy, during his 2002-2003 GROWING UP LIVE tour. It features performances from his critically acclaimed album UP, as well as 11 classics.
