"In The Big Room" features recordings of Peter Gabriel and his band, captured live on November 23, 2003, in the Big Room of Real World Studios.
This intimate concert was for members of Peter Gabriel's Full Moon Club and took place during a short series of live shows in November 2003, which also included a performance for the British charity Children in Need at Cyfarthfa Castle in Merthyr Tydfil, a show at the Brighton Centre, and the Nelson Mandela 46664 Concert in Cape Town.
The 14-song set includes material from both the 2002/2003 "Growing Up" live tour--Gabriel's first tour in 10 years, coinciding with the release of his album "UP"--and the subsequent "Still Growing Up" live tour, which spanned much of 2004. Particularly noteworthy additions to the "Growing Up" live set are "Burn You Up, Burn You Down", "Games Without Frontiers" and "The Tower That At People".
