Peter Gabriel and Sting in Lake Tahoe... great show. I expected one to perform, then a break, then the other. Instead, they prepared an integrated show - sharing their bands, singing lead on one another’s songs and singing together on many.

I adore them both. Saw Peter Gabriel live twice back in the 70s when he was lead singer with Genesis and Phil Collins was "just the drummer." Gabriel is a magnificent showman. Love, love, love Sting's weaving of traditional airs and riffs into his music.

I have always been a very accepting person of other cultures, peoples and genres, and I have music from around the world and many corners of America; but when I look at my most-played pop albums, they are almost all Brits or Irish. Annie Lennox, Coldplay, The Chieftans, Adele, Beatles, Bowie, Celtic Woman, etc. My people are here more than 400 years, but DNA is powerful. This is my favorite Christmas album:

Thanks for sharing. I will check out Sting’s Christmas album for sure (appreciate the link).

I had always liked both men’s music (and their former groups) but was blown away by this combined performance.
