Music: Peter Gabriel at the Hollywood Bowl

It’s all too easy in the age of “American Idol” to forget just how profoundly powerful music can be in the hands of an absolute master like Peter Gabriel. The veteran British artist — one of the select few in the pop music world to whom the term “artist” is wholly appropriate —demonstrates again and again his completely inspired command of the medium of live performance. Hollywood Bowl, 2301 N. Highland Ave., L.A. 8 p.m. Sat. $50-$275. hollywoodbowl.com
