I gave it a 14. One of my favourites. I never understood why it wasn’t played live more. But then again as Genesis fans we’ve become accustomed to scratching our heads a lot.

I gave it 13. Mostly because it was a pleasant surprise on the IT album. I remember feeling at the time that no matter how much commercial success they were having, they still had prog in their blood.

I hate April fools!
I’m such a sucker for pranks. 😂

I’m surprised to hear about the licensing. It’s unfortunate. The Lamb show is one I would go see again. Really glad I caught it last year.

I gave it 7. There are some parts that are really good and other parts that make you wish it was over already.

10 from me. It’s good but definitely not great. At the time I enjoyed hearing Genesis on the pop stations.

I think I’ll wait for the reviews from our European members before deciding on whether or not to go. I’m really 50/50 on this one. I only saw him once in 2010 when he toured with the orchestra. To say I was underwhelmed is an understatement. Either way it will be a last minute decision. Single tickets at a reduced price usually pop up in the last days before the show.

Maybe the 40 page booklet makes this box set worthwhile. Or am I getting my hopes up needlessly?

Fantastic review as usual Christian. Like many of you I’m left with mixed feelings and undecided whether or not to add this box set to my collection. The lack of attention to detail and accuracy is very Un-Genesis like. Makes me wonder is this isn’t just an easy cash grab, rather than be a gem for diehard Genesis fans. Not what I was expecting at all.

It’s a good song. I’m also not a big Phil Solo fan but this song is part of the handful of his solo songs that I really like. 12 points.

Happy Holidays to all. Health, happiness, and prosperity for 2023. Cheers 🥂

0 points for me. Without analyzing and dissecting it, I’ll just say that I don’t like it. The other 2 tracks on the EP are much better IMHO.

I watched it until the end. I clearly have too much time on my hands.

15 points. It’s a masterpiece.

Thanks Westside. I’ll certainly have some time during the holidays so I’ll be sure to follow your recommendations and give those songs a listen.

Sorry for the delay. It’s been a busy couple of days. The show was phenomenal. The solo set was really good. As I said before I’m not familiar with any of his solo work so I didn’t know what to expect. It definitely had a Genesis flavour to it. It was almost like having an opening act. The Seconds Out set really blew me away. Here are the songs that stood out for me. I really like Sqounk and haven’t heard it played live very often except as a part of Los Endos. They played it to perfection and it really set the tone for the show. Robbery Assault and Battery is another song that I only heard live once played by The Musical Box, so this was another rare treat. Steve’s guitar playing on this song was off the charts. The upbeat jazzy version of I Know What I Like was fantastic, complete with sax solo instead of tambourine. I loved it. Of course the highlight of the night was Suppers Ready. Another song rarely played live. I had only heard it live once by Genesis and a couple of times by The Musical Box. They played it to perfection. That song never gets old and it’s the fastest 23 minutes of my life. lol Overall I’m so glad that I got a ticket to this show. Even though I was sitting in the balcony the sound was great and the atmosphere was electric. The guys really played their hearts out and Steve was in top form. He can still play guitar with the best of them. If anyone has a chance to see them I highly recommend that you go. I’ll post some pics in my next posts. Cheers!

Thank you Christian for that wonderful review. I’ll post my impressions and some pics after the show.

Today I listened to Seconds Out for the first time in quite a while. Now I’m totally jacked up for Tuesday’s Steve Hackett concert. It’s great that he’s keeping all these wonderful classics alive.

Thanks Christian. I’m not at all familiar with any of Steve’s solo material so this should be interesting.
