Background[edit]
Gabriel spent part of 2002–2003 on tour in support of his album Up.[1] The tour, called the "Growing Up" tour, visited 32 cities across North America and Europe.[1] The concert video and live album were taken from the performances over two nights in Milan in May 2003.[1] Gabriel described the idea behind the staging of the concert: "Last time [for the Secret World tour] we had two stages, a male stage and a female stage, and they were representing different things, urban, rural and this time we have moved the axis vertically, and it’s a sky stage and an earth stage. The album title had been UP, so there was a certain logic to this vertical translation onto the stage."[1] Performing guests for the show included The Blind Boys of Alabama, Dr Hukwe Zawose, Charles Zawose, Sevara Nazarkhan and the voice of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.[1]
