Peter Gabriel's touring band in support of his first solo album in 1977. L-R: Robert Fripp (who insisted on being introduced as Dusty Rhodes), Tony Levin (on P bass), Gabriel (then 27 years old) and, I think, guitarist Steve Hunter.

Yes, Steve Hunter(he was on the album along with Fripp, brought in by producer Bob Ezrin, who had used the Hunter/Wagner guitar tag team on other productions for Alice Cooper, Kiss, and Lou Reed). Also with Gabriel was synth specialist Larry Fast, keyboardist Phil Aaberg, drummer Allan Schwartzberg, and percussionist Jimmy Maelen.

I saw that tour, early 1977(Levin, dressed like a Hari Krishna, played a P Bass through a Sunn 2000s). It was an era of directional change, and Gabriel had the emerging New York band Television as opening act, who were brilliant. I was blown away, having only heard an early single. There were these fuddy duddy Genesis/prog nerd fans in the audience harrumphing over Verlaine and company, and I took great delight in their displeasure as I considered the band, in their own way, to be just as "progressive" with their particular extended guitar explorations.

David Palmer, who was one of the original lead singers of Steely Dan. Palmer is best known for performing the lead vocals on the songs Dirty work and Brooklyn Owes The Charmer Under Me, from their 1972 debut, Can't Buy A Thrill, and also sang backing vocals on several tracks from 1973's Countdown To Ecstasy. Palmer was fired that same year due to excessive drinking, as well as infighting with Donald Fagen. Palmer also went on to write Carole King's 1974 hit Jazzman, but is now retired from the music industry and works as a digital photographer in Charlotte, North Carolina.
