This Friday the next bit of video footage from the production rehearsals in Brussels will be available on genesis-music.com. This one will be from day 7 which means it still won’t contain music but show the further progress of the stage build which should nearly be done then.
Genesis Management has also secured deals for cinemas in Sweden and Spain. So the Düsseldorf show will also be screened in those countries which aren’t on the tour schedule. Details have yet to be announced.
According to Ticketpro.cz, the venue for the Prague Show has been changed. The show will now take place at the Parking Area - Metro Ceskomoravská, Ocelářská 460, Prague 9 - possible due to poor ticket sales. All tickets bought for the Stadion Evzena Rosického (20th June) remain vaild (further info on that to follow). The date of the concert was not changed. The parking area is located close to the Sazka Arena.

EDIT (by UK76): The venue change has now officially been confirmed by the Genesis Management. The new venue is called “Sazka Outdoor Arena”, though actually it seems to be the parking lot mentioned before.
On the official Genesis website there’s a new video (4 minutes long) showing some footage from the test build of the stage. Unfortunately it’s only available for members but surely worth watching as it gives a slight idea of what the stage will look like.
According to Nick Davis production rehearsals will start this weekend in Brussels, Belgium.
This was also indirectly confirmed by Daryl Stuermer who stated in a recent radio interview that he’ll be flying to Brussels today (Friday, May 18th).
Nick Davis will join the rehearsals on May 28th. Before that there will also be a lot of testing of screens and light.
Anthony Mathile is also the guy who will supply the official website with exclusive footage throughout the tour. This footage might probably only be available for paying members.
A special occasion for all British fans!
The 2nd Düsseldorf concert on June 27th will be broadcasted live in HD quality and Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound in British Vue cinemas.
For details & tickets check the cinema website: www.myvue.co.uk.
At this point it’s still pure speculation but this broadcasting might hint to a possible DVD release of the Düsseldorf show(s).
EDIT: According to Nick Davis, Genesis’ sound engineer, the show will not be released as the tour DVD! Here’s the quote from the official Genesis Forum: “It’s Düsseldorf because this is the only venue with 2 shows one after the other. I will use the first show as a soundcheck - the second show being the one broadcast to the cinemas. The dvd will not be being filmed here - the cameras will be working to screen the show for the cinemas.”
…or the return of the double-neck guitar. In our it.interview with Daryl Stuermer, the return of the double-neck guitar was revealed. Mike hasn’t played that since the Mama-Tour 1983/84. Now, here’s a photo of Mike, playing the new double-neck during Los Endos. Also, we see Phil in a new outfit and shaved. Both photos were taken by Kat - click on them to see tham at a higher resolution. More photos are available in the official Genesis Forum.

As you know already, Genesis perfromed in Las Vegas last night as part of the VH-1 Rock Honors Show. It wasn’t of course an entire set, Genesis played Turn It On Again, No Son Of Mine and Los Endos (which is at least a little suprise for his kind of event). The Band was introduced on stage by Robin Williams.
It was the first time Genesis performed live as a band in this formation after the 1992 world tour (the Ahmet Ertegün memorial show performance took place without Chester)
Also, rock band Keane performed the 1983 track That’s All (it was the only song they performed) to pay tribute to Genesis. More about the VH-1 Rock Honors Shows will follow soon!
