Now I’m curious to hear one of the better quality (sound and performance-wise) shows from the Lamb tour, which doesn’t have overdubs. Anyone know where I might find this?
-
I sort've like the oddness of its sound, and how different it sounds compared to the studio version. According to the credits, it was just PG and David Rhodes that played on this:
Guitar - David Rhodes
Percussion, programming, keyboard bass, keys - PG -
Dave Kerzner just confirmed this is a separate release, in response to my question on Facebook:
“no this is a tribute album done by the musicians listed on the album cover and description. Genesis (or the company that owns their catalog now) are also releasing a box set presumably of the album plus live material or something like that. Two completely different things. Our version is also done with band and orchestra as if it was a film soundtrack.”

A little surprise today. It's Make Tomorrow in an unheared version
Great version, with some new Gabrielese and other elements new to this version of Make Tomorrow.

It is a little sobering that there is no sign from Real World that releases of new stuff are coming soon. It seems to be more likely that they will continue offering archive stuff in the next time.
Yeah it would be great to get any remaining songs recorded during the i/o sessions. Alas, I would be surprised if we got new songs this year. Maybe 2025. It's hard to imagine PG gearing up for a new album release in 2024, and I suspect he will save any new songs for i/o's follow-up. (Even the idea of a follow-up to i/o feels overly optimistic, given the pace at which PG works.)
In the meantime, I'm happy to have these archive releases.

They have worked on 22/23 tracks and finished 17 of them, so there are 5 finished tracks remaining. Plaus there might be an option to do new versions of Show Yourself (this track has not been part of Rated PG) and PG said in one of his Full Moon videos that he would like to continue with new music in 2024 - and indeed those tracks would then be for another new album. No contradiction here ....
Tracks we are aware of are:
What Lies Ahead
Put The Bucket Down
I would love to think that five new (unheard) songs are actually finished. But do we have confirmation of this? We know they were worked on, and the band made their contributions, yet isn't it possible that PG still needs to mix and master these? And knowing PG, this could take some time.
In any case, I hope I'm wrong and you're right!

"Lunatics in the Ballroom" just released for Bandcamp subscribers, including the first two songs from a special set at Real World for fans in 2003. Looks like they plan to release this whole performance, as the moon shifts.
-
Another early deamo was added yesterday, this time "Games Without Frontiers (Early Incarnation)"
https://www.genesis-news.com/n…emo-on-Bandcamp-n944.html
Another hidden gem. And almost unrecognizable from the final song.
-
Okay it's a different day, so now my five songs are:
Rhythm of the Heat
San Jacinto
It is Accomplished
Signal to Noise
Washing of the Water
-
Solsbury Hill
The Court
Running to the Rain
Sky Blue
Love to be Loved
-
Full moon today but nothing on bandcamp yet. Or did I miss something?
Still to come later today, I imagine. It's only morning in my part of the world. They made reference to it in the latest email last week, when they announced the new merch. So something should show up soon.
-
My sense is that PG was aiming to start working on new music in Apr/May. I think it's unlikely he'll have anything complete enough to release this year, with the exception of What Lies Ahead or any other tracks that may have previously been recorded. Or he might have found a new distraction.
I seem to be in the minority here, but I prefer new music over a tour. Seeing him live is great, but new music is something I can appreciate over and over again.

Three tracks, originally part of the Real World Notes in the later Nineties, were made available on Bandcamp today: Seven Zero, Brimstone and 100 Days To Go.
Details. https://www.genesis-news.com/n…ded-on-Bandcamp-n934.html
Nice to see that, at least the last two new moons, they have released three tracks at a time. Sure they are readily available songs for those who know where to look, yet at this pace we will have quite a collection of officially released material by the end of 2024.
-
A demo around 50 years old sounds super exciting to me. If PG keeps doing this, we'll keep getting more and more interesting stuff, I imagine. I'm still keen on this.
-
I think the January song will be telling. December was busy with the album release and holidays. What we see later this month will give us a clearer sign of things to come throughout 2024. PG did mention live songs and earlier songs/demos as future possibilities.
-
Today's Bandcamp deep dive of Live and Let Live reveals that there will be live songs and older stuff released in the next while for the monthly Bandcamp subscribers. PG also says he'll be back making new music in a few months! Here's hoping. Perhaps i/o's success (both critically and being #1 in the UK) is proving a strong motivator.
-
I wonder if they'll also start releasing live versions of i/o songs, leading up to the (presumed) live dvd next year. Then again, he already did this for i/o, so he may not want to repeat himself this way.
-
Fully onboard the Live and Let Live appreciation team. Currently my favourite song on i/o, which is honestly quite surprising. Didn’t expect to like it as much as I do, but PG’s Full Moon Update really had an impact.
Live and Let Live
The Court
Love Can Heal
(Four Kinds of Horses a close fourth)
-
This changes frequently, as I appreciate all tracks in different ways, but right now:
The Court
Four Kinds of Horses
Love Can Heal
And Still
Live and Let Live [predicted]
So Much
Road to Joy
Playing for Time
i/o
This is Home
Olive Tree
Panopticom
