About what and what?
Tony was quite furious in our interview when I asked him about these books

(towards the end of the interview)
about Steve: just curious about the focus of his book ...

I wonder what Tony Banks thinks about this
Well, I know
I am curious anyway about Steve's view.

thanks
perhaps it's time for a new subforum - Fan performances of Genesis-related tracks
-
Been watching FAUDA recently. was sometimes hard to follow in the beginning ... but a nice show.
-
I always found the expanded LIVE album in the Live boxset a bit odd - with tracks from The Lamb ...
Would like to see some updates reissues as well. -
why they don’t just re arrange them now it makes more sense?. And I cannot understand why I’m getting email after email saying this show is due in October and November from all the ticket agencies?.well, it's a complicated business and it surely hast something to do with contracts / insurance etc. There are plenty of bills to be paid so they wouldn't postpone unless they have a new plan or are forced to do so (i.e. by a decision of the local government)
Personally, I also do not see the shows happen.

Display MoreIt's telling for me that I voted last week and I'm not sure what I voted for!
If I did it today it would be Lamb, TOTT and WAW, but I think I voted for SEBTP rather than WAW.
I'm pretty certain they would be my top 4, but WAW and SEBTP are forever locked in combat to secure the third slot.
For me there aren't any huge surprises in the order other than the Lamb - for me it's first by a country mile - and WCD being higher than Trespass, which is enough to make me spit out my coffee
When you go to page 1 of this thread and click "vote" right below the poll results, you can see what you have selected last time (and change it, if you'd like to)

You may have seen already - the Europen 2020 leg of the Lamb tour has been postoned. New dates keep coming in.

Ray Wilson will actually play a couple of shows, even indoors. In Duisburg, they will have 140 people only instead of nearly 600.

I had similar feelings about the Not Dead Yet tour. At the end of the day - we all get older and we have to decide whether or not we want to see an aged band, that simply cannot repoduce the power and dynamic of their thirties.
Having said that, they can deliver something else. Phil's shows were really emotional for me. I don't know what the Genesis shows will do, but they will do something. It's up to us - we can ignore that and not go, or we can be curious - which can lead to disappointment of course

Yes, he always throws in cover versions. He once did Stainsby Girls by Chris Rea as well
-
My favorite albums are Outside and Earthling. This has of course to do with the time when those were released and how I lived back then, but both albums really broadened my horizon.
I never was a big fan of his early stuff.
I do like bits of Black Tie - White Noise and also Reality, Heathen and Hours.
And then his last two albums were released ... they are both marvellous.

Phil at the first concert of the 2020 tour:
“Well, tonight we’re going to play quite a lot of really old songs. [pause for cheering] And yes, most definitely some really, really old songs too. [pause for intense cheering] In fact, we may also play some new songs. [pause for confusion] Yeah, really, here’s a tune we wrote during rehearsals earlier this year.”
I don't think that's going to happen ...

I sense a little irony ...

I've often got the sense I'm in a minority on this board in liking Pigeons. Again, not up there among the greats of course but for me a perfectly good catchy song and I'm amused by Banks's intent to try writing a song with "only one note in". I like the slightly bizarre and somewhat obsessive lyric. All 3 of the songs were rather different from their usual output of the time and I always wanted them to take a few more right-angled turns so I have a lot of affection for this EP.
I also like Pigeons a lot. It gained quality when remixed in 2006/7
Inside And Out was a real treat during one of the recent Hackett tours...
-
Easy one
White Mountain
Stagnation
The Knife
That's my Top 3 an the other three tracks are nowhere near that
-
Ah, forgot about that one! Yes, Jacuzzi is great.
I see not everyone's a lover of The Show. I find that bewildering; it's one of the few times Hackett seems to have stepped out of the box, as it were, and darn it, he actually proved he was rather good at it. I suppose it must be hard to do pop songs when the ardent proggers won't let you, though.
problem is that The Show is really a bad production. Probably a different producer and more time in the studio would have made that a good track.

The Musical Box
Fountain Of Salmacis
Seven Stones
my choice ...
I loved the version of Seven Stones the canadian band The Musical Box performed in Duisburg during our fan convention in 2007
-
Is that why those versions have never been re-released??
The 12" mixes were not part of the boxsets, neither the Archive set, not the SACD-Sets. To me it looks more like they didn't want to put remixes on any of the sets
