- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 07:00 pm – Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Experience the world-beat pop masterpiece that transformed a prog-rock visionary into a global superstar. Join Listyn KC for an in-depth exploration of Peter Gabriel’s 1986 landmark So.  It's the marriage of experimental art and soul-stirring melody.

While Gabriel was always a pioneer of the "avant-garde," So was the moment he invited the entire world into his laboratory. Working with co-producer Daniel Lanois, Gabriel moved away from the darker, rhythm-heavy textures of his previous work to embrace a brighter, Otis Redding-inspired soulfulness that redefined the mid-80s soundscape. Our introduction will examine the album's incredible technical depth—from the innovative use of the Fairlight CMI sampler to the iconic fretless bass work of Tony Levin and the staggering percussion of Manu Katché. Listening to the record in its entirety on our high-end system reveals the immense spatial architecture of tracks like "Mercy Street" and the explosive, cinematic energy of "Sledgehammer," highlighting the pristine audio quality that made this a perennial benchmark for audiophiles.

All of this great music will be played on The Listyning Room's world-class stereo system featuring Audio Note, Klipsch, and Cambridge Audio.
