Plays Live is the first live album recorded by Peter Gabriel from his American tour in 1982.
Peter Gabriel left prog rock group Genesis after The Lamb Lies Down In Broadway album. Genesis thrived without their former lead singer and Peter Gabriel recorded some very interesting art rock albums.
A “highlights” single CD was issued of Peter Gabriel Plays Live in America which took four songs away.
