Editorial Reviews
Filmed in high definition, this stunning live film is now being released on Blu-ray for the first time. In 2002 and 2003, following the release of his album Up, Peter Gabriel went on the road with his Growing Up tour, once again collaborating with production designer Robert Lepage to create a spectacular and theatrical live experience. The tour took in thirty-two cities across the USA, Canada and Europe with this concert film, directed by Hamish Hamilton, being shot over two nights at the FilaForum in Milan in May 2003 with Peter Gabriel and the band performing in the round at the center of the arena.

The Blu-ray also includes the Unwrapped film (shot in standard definition), which explores the world behind the songs featured on the Still Growing Up tour. This sees Anna Gabriel take over the director's chair with the collaboration of Hamish Hamilton. A simpler approach suggested a different set list and Peter, Hamish and Anna were determined that this should be filmed in a very different style. It shows Peter Gabriel as many of his fans love to see him, just playing the music. As an added bonus Anna Gabriel's rarely seen film Growing Up On Tour A Family Portrait has also been included.

The second disc is the DVD of Still Growing Up Live, which was also shot in standard definition. In 2004, the Still Growing Up tour took Peter Gabriel and his band into smaller and more intimate venues in contrast to the large arenas chronicled in the Growing Up Live film. Award-winning director Hamish Hamilton reunites with Peter Gabriel for this concert film.

Shame so much SD source material but I'm still in for day one, hope we get a Rock Paper Scissors Blu-ray announcement before Christmas. Cool beans on the Jools Holland bonus material, was that on previous DVD releases? This is one of the few PG DVDs I never bought.

This Blu-Ray/DVD set contains all material from the previous "Growing Up Live" and "Still Growing Up: Live & Unwrapped" DVD releases, but this set also includes the "Growing Up On Tour: A Family Portrait" documentary, which was a separate DVD release back in the day, so AFAIK, this set contains everything from the "(Still) Growing Up" tour and more!

As for "Rock. Paper. Scissors.", I would love a Blu-Ray film from that tour too, but AFAIK, I don't think any shows were professionally filmed on this initial North American tour, so if they want to film a show, they will have to add more dates, and I hope they do, especially here in the Southern US! :)
 
I got the Growing up Live DVD a couple of years back...now my finances are not so well, so I'll wait til I (hopefully)find a job soon...but , aahhhh, the memories of being right next to the stage on the 2003 Barcelona Gig...they even did "Games without frontiers" during the soundcheck..but they didn't play it in the show....
 
I'll be picking this up for sure, but the Back To Front Blu Ray Deluxe Edition takes some beating, IMHO :)
