Quote from MoonlitKnight

I'm lukewarm on Domino. Musically it suffered from the godawful mid-80s electric drums and some of the lyrics seem a bit forced to me (e.g. "sheets of double-glazing," "nylon sheets and blankets')--as if Tony is almost trying too hard to write something non-commercial for the album. Honestly I could have done without it on the most recent tour, especially if they would have performed instead something appealing that hadn't been played live for a while ("Abacab"?).

... that or a complete version of Tonight, Tonight, Tonight - but I assume the second part is beyond Phil's ability these days.

Steve has added more shows in December, following the postponement of a couple of Canadian shows earlier this year:

THE ANT BAND have released an Anthony Phillips tribute album earlier thiy year (A Light On The Hill), that not only surprised Ant (it was a birthday gift), but also really impressed him (and made him think about recording a full band album)

THE ANT BAND have recorded a lot of material during the sessions and they deciced to offer some of those tracks, along with live versions from the 2014 Anthony Phillips Event, on an addtional CD, Bonus Bits & Blunders.

I'd Rather Be You?

Quite an unusual choice for radio. OK, some other tracks as well, but nice to see a b-side was played.

A few years ago, a German TV series featured "Summer Days" by Ray Wilson & Stiltskin in one of the episodes. Also quite a surprise.

Despite the fact the album celbrates its 24th release anniversary today - what do you think about this live album?

Ok.

But the Surprise effect is missing or change the way you play them.

changes were a jazzy intersection in IKWL (didn't really work) and Aisle Of Plenty (nice one!) plus a little break between The Lamb and TMB (why?)

I agree that Seconds Out in that running order wasn't a good idea to play live that way.

This is the link to the interview

A rare (and recent) interview with Genesis manager TONY SMITH.

Read it here: https://www.iq-mag.net/2022/04…ager-tony-smith-50-years/

actually I have never heard of an orchestra project before. To me it looks unlikely the band is involved in terms of recording something, so we’ll see.

Pretty sure there will be back catalogue stuff available sooner or later.

Blood on the rooftops

Silver rainbow

Heathaze

obvious choices

then Just A Job To Do and Living forever would have been awesome. Especially the instrumental part of Living forever

Booklets of both sets are no easy to scan - unless you want to destroy them. So I don’t think anybody has ever done this.

Haven’t seen the pre-print files neither.

Interesting that Tony hints a video from the show might come - despite the fact no show apart from the rehearsals was filmed

Happy Birthday, Nic! 21 today.

Quote from Wayne

I was hoping someone could supply details of who we could email to request a re issue of the box sets, a lot of members don’t have them and it wouldn’t harm trying to get a petition up requesting a repress. I know a few members already own them but what about the rest of us who have waited for 14 years without a hint this will be looked at again!.

we have been lobbying the idea of rereleasing the boxsets for years when we talk to the management.
It’s not out of question, but rather unlikely. The sets were expensive to make, then the band doesn’t like the idea of rereleasing stuff etc.

we will keep asking for it, nevertheless!

Happy Easter 2022

I just looked to see if the images for TIAA were the ones I saw on Phil's tour & I couldn't tell. The band version has all the various tours on the screen.

the original images included - at least - the back of the Calling All Stations cassette. Shame that has been dropped. Would haven been nice had they included at least one image from the CAS phase.

Between the Genesis shows in Berlin and Cologne, I attended Steve Hackett's show in my hometown Dresden.

3. Oh! But (AKA Daddy Long Legs).

Ok, is not present in any PG album.

was performed during the Back To Front tour and has been released on plenty Encore CDs and the Live DVD/Blu-ray

I'm not really a fan of those lists but I do appreciate a few links in their article to our website

I must say - I really liked Throwing It All Away in the set (although I wanted it kicked out after first news about the setlist), but this is really emotional.

Most of the tracks in the set are about dark subjects / loss etc.
