Here is the Dark-Side Mix
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!
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.

Notes: In our review, Robert Krauskopf finds a crisper, less playful composition than on previous albums in Eleventh Earl Of Mar. Told of the Scottish Jacobite Revolution of 1715, the story is creating a fantastic theatre for the ears. So - in a nutshell - the findings from the review of Wind & Wuthering. But, boy! that wasn't all - now you're really starting with praise, criticism and comments. |
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
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
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 …
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?
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.

Notes: In 2011, Ray Wilson recorded the largely thought-provoking Unfulfillment, initially wanting First Day Of Change as his first single, but then changed his mind. In the wake of decent radio airplay, he finally made it into the charts at number 21 in Germany with the set Genesis vs Stiltskin. American Beauty is a good example of the great pop/rock songs Ray Wilson is capable of. |
This may be interesting 
Reminds me a bit of the cover version by Disturbed (Land of confusion on that case)
There is no official statement yet what mixes will end up on the album. Also, we don’t know if there will be an extra disc with alternate mixes or something else.
We can assume there will some kind of additional surround version.
A lot of updates were added to our Making Of I/O article this year. Check it out here
Italian Dusk Magazine confirms this song was played in the acoustic set of the Back To Front Tour.
really? Well it's no secret to be revealed exclusively by someone. It's just fact.
We "confirmed" this as well:
https://www.genesis-news.com/c…me-7-March-2023-s877.html
It was called "o But" on the Encore Series CDs and "Daddy Long Legs" on the Back To Front Concert film. Quite obvious this is the "baby" version of Playing For Time, isn't it?
It's a beautiful track but I'm a little bit frustrated that the song ends a little dry.
That was my very first impression, but hearing this again it makes sense to stop and not make it longer.
by the way, this track was obviously intended for the June Full Moon. At least according to Bandcamp.
The track
Full moon video also available
Just heard the complete track. A wonderful song, beautifully arranged ... catchy melody
