It was a simple idea; to create a festival out of all the brilliant music and art made all over the world, stuff made outside of the mainstream - music that wasnt getting on the radio and was even harder to find in record stores the very first WOMAD Festival took place at the 240-acre Bath and West Showground, Somerset, UK over the weekend of 16 - 18 July, 1982, with the dream not to sprinkle world music around a rock festival, but to prove that these great artists could be headliners in their own right.
Across the three days an evening concert series took place in the Showering Pavilion on the festival site. On the Friday night that concert featured Tian Jin (a song and dance troupe from China), Simple Minds and, with a special festival set of non-album material, Peter Gabriel.
Live At WOMAD 1982 is a recording of that Friday night concert. The non-album material in question are seven of the eight songs that would make up the album Peter Gabriel 4 (Security), an album that wouldnt be released for a further two months.
On stage, Peter is joined by David Rhodes (guitar), John Giblin (bass), Larry Fast (synthesisers), Jerry Marotta (drums), Peter Hammill (vocals) and the wonderful Bristol-based drum and dance group, Ekom (drums, percussion).
I remember this gig well. We played a mix of old and brand-new material. I would normally be very nervous about playing some of this stuff for the first time, however my mind was very preoccupied with the running of our very first WOMAD festival and the potential financial disaster that it was heading towards.
Because WOMAD was unique in its focus on music and art from around the world, and mixing it with up with rock and jazz, no-one knew how many people might turn up and we had seriously overestimated our appeal. But those that had decided to check out WOMAD and its weird and wonderful lineup were open-minded, bold and curious - a great audience.
It was a landmark and edgy gig for me both personally and musically and brings back lots of memories. - Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriels Live A WOMAD 1982 takes us back to not only the birth of a festival - one that has now hosted more than 160 editions in 27 countries - but also to the premiere of an album with songs like The Rhythm of the Heat, San Jacinto and Shock the Monkey that have become central to the Gabriel canon.
More than just a live album, Live At WOMAD 1982 is a pivotal moment, available on CD and LP for the very first time.
