It's a wonderful pop song and worth 12 points for me. I also like Tim Howar's voice on that one.

Any thoughts about his album?

Here is the Dark-Side Mix

Quote from BillysNumber

I'll be there in Denver Colorado in October! Sadly, I didn't get to see Genesis during their Last Domino tour, since they cut out the entire Western half of the US-so I'm NOT missing Peter! This will be my 2nd time seeing him-I saw him back in 2002 in Milwaukee, WI while he was on his Growing Up tour.

Fun fact: I will be going with my 11 year old daughter, her first ever concert! She has gradually become more or less a "casual PG fan." She knows the main hits (Sledgehammer, Red Rain, Big Time, Secret World, Games w/o Frontiers, Intruder and Solsbury Hill are pretty much the only ones she's into right now...but now I have about half a year to introduce her to the likes of his deeper-level fan favorites!

Let us know what your daughter says after the show. Must be quite something for her!

Quote from seftonave

It seems that Don-e is the keyboard player for the tour. A talented chap.

From his Facebook.

yes, Peter was asked about the keyboard player last year in Paris and said it’s going to be Don-E. The info has been part of our tour dates page for several months.

but nice to see he’s now starting to spread the news himself.

First show (3 in total) was yesterday and people were absolutely thrilled

Local TV station also had a little report about the rehearsals:

Here is a new track in their setlist

and a classic

I moved this into the genesis music board but I think we should keep this as a separate thread since it’s not part of the BBC set, which was an official release

Quote from rkive

More or less after the album Change, I would say his music is songwriter, folk-rock.

SHE / Stiltskin was a real rock album. For me one of the best Genesis-related solo albums after 2000.

Song For A Friend ist more or less acoustic

Those two albums stand out, in my opinion.

And the last one, The Weight Of Man, is a really good one as well

Quote from Henry Hamilton-Smythe

Can't vote on this one, as I've never heard a single Ray Wilson (or Stiltskin) song.

How would you describe his music?

🤔 we have added the video so you can listen to that track. Then you know how it sounds …

Quote from Rising Sun

The melody of the verses sounds, to my ears, very reminiscent of PG's version of The Book of Love. But that's a good thing imho.

That was also something that I thought spontaneously. I really like this i/o title track. I'm curious WHERE this will end up on the record. Maybe the last track?

Quote from Phil Morris

Given they've gone to the trouble of producing the mixes, I for one, will be very surprised if they're not made available in physical form. Even if only as part of a deluxe edition of the album.

Yes, exactly. Would really be a big surprise if a surround mix of any kind wasn't part of a physical release.

This may be interesting

Reminds me a bit of the cover version by Disturbed (Land of confusion on that case)
