There had been talk of presenting the 1974 concept album "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" on stage, but Gabriel couldn't commit to clearing his schedule for the time necessary to do so.
"I'm hoping to see the show because I think they're going to do some more European dates, he said. "Nothing is excluded (in terms of a possible reunion). We're still breathing and we don't need to be wheeled onto the stage. But I don't know. It's quite a time commitment to get it sounding right. When WOMAD (Gabriel's world-music festival) started and got into heavy financial trouble, (Genesis) extremely generously agreed to do a benefit with me, performing. I learned then it takes a lot longer than you think to relearn what you think you knew."

Gabriel juggling new album with array of projects
Lets have your thoughts on this. I really hope this is true, Funny what happens when Zeppelin rocks the boat ha ha!  |
Worth emphasising that when he says 'Autumn or Spring', he's talking about the release date for his next solo album, rather than a reunion with Genesis.
But I think everyone would just love to see a reunion tour with the classic five-man line-up (with Chester as back-up drummer for when Phil is on vocals).
As has been discussed many times on these boards, the setlist would be an interesting dilemma, as would be the decision on whether Gabriel wears any costumes.
Personally, there isn't a show on earth that I'd rather see!
