      Tony Levin when on stage, in a live performance, actually plays his bass guitar. You're a hopeless fool if you believe that this is a pre-recorded performance.
      Although I do believe that you are not someone who plays a stringed instrument. And playing air guitar does not count.

      Don't know about overdubbing, but picture is certainly edited. I guess, editor has quite freely rearranged clips in timeline.

Clip in 1:58 actually occured in 2:07, just used another camera.

    I've been a massive fan of PG since about 1971, and still am. But this tour was the first one where he was clearly using pre-recorded tracks, and it bummed me out. Still does. It hadn't been that many years since ELO was lambasted for doing the same thing. These days, damn near everything you hear at many concerts is a track, sadly. No minidisc and no synth will ever smoke like a horn section smokes.

It says a lot about Peter, the man, that top-flight backing musicians remained loyal to him and his work for decades. Gabriel, with all his talent and various innovations over the years, may be my favorite musician of all time.

      Doing a bit of googling, it sounds like Pete overdubs his live performances for dvds/video release. So he's not lip syncing, but the live vocal has been replaced later with a studio recording. That'd explain why his head turns away from the mic sometimes while he's sustaining the note in the recording.
