That’s amazing, I would have loved to see them in the early 80s! How was the New York Duke show? Was it amazing?
Actually I saw them twice on the Duke tour 1980 - two nights in a row in different venues. The first night was in a small intimate theater - Capitol theater in Passaic NJ and the next night was completely the opposite in a large arena at the famous Madison Square Garden in Manhattan, NY. Although it was the same setlist, the shows felt very different. That too is why Duke is my favorite post-Gabriel era album that brings back so many cherished memories.
Agreed. And I’m sure we’ve all bought their discography many times over in different formats. It’s kind of shameful how much money Genesis has made me spend. But I regret none of it. I love the band, they’re worth it.
Absolutely. And not only I have spent lots of $$ on their LPs and CD output but also on travel expenses to see them Live like I did for Duke (1980 - New York), Turn it On (2007 - Denver) and the Last Domino (2021- Montreal).
But as you said, it was worth every dollar and do not regret it for something that I enjoyed to the fullest.
I'm wondering why the Black Box (Live 1973-2007) is the most expensive at over $1000 USD while all the other four (that I already have had for years) are all selling for under $400 each.
If I recall correctly, the bonus CD on the Black box is a Rainbow theater concert in London and all the rest are easy to find individually online. But, I do have that Rainbow concert bootleg that is not pristine audio but sounds ok. Sometimes you make bad decisions out of conformity and end up being sorry you did.
Beat in October (King Crimson alumni Adrian Belew, Tony Levin with Steve Vai and Danny Carey)
I bought tickets but it looks like I will have to cancel Billy Idol and Yes with Deep Purple in August due to surgery, sad but my health comes first. All Canadian shows.
Well, if he already has 5 Grammy awards, 1 Academy award Oscar, 1 Golden Globe and more, the RRHOF seems like a much lesser honor for Phil. But it would be nice to induct Phil, while he is "NOT DEAD YET"
And looks like the Texas shows are selling well. The Oklahoma date maybe had sold a couple of dozen tickets so I had been worried about it. I probably end up going to the Houston one (was just there for Peter Gabriel back in October). Just sucks because the Oklahoma one was so much closer to me.
I noticed that the Peter Gabriel show in Houston back in October was the "least" attended show of the whole tour, so if the Hackett shows are selling well, that is quite a surprise. South Texas has never been big on prog. I can say that because I lived in Houston for 21 years and saw very few of them. But to be fair, Austin is special where I saw: Goblin, Magma, Hawkwind, Porcupine Tree and King Crimson.
Steve does successful tours down here. Peter it could be argued is a far better known artist. Transport, etc, is the same for all overseas acts who come here. You don't have to have many off days if the tour is relatively short. When Steven Wilson came he only did four shows.
Not sure which Steve or Steven you are referring to but, if it is Hackett on his "successful tours", well his stage production isn't even a third of what Peter's is. So if Peter does tour Australia, it would have to have short and well aligned logistics plan to make it feasible. But as already mentioned, health and family come first.
Peter has enjoyed returning to full touring for both the European & North American tours and most of all, he loves his current band and how they have gelled so well in a live setting.
So it would not be a total surprise to see either an Australian/NZ/Japan tour as well as a Latin American tour. 2024 looks like his iO tour will carry on, time is a relentless and unforgiving. It would be a pity if the rest of the world does not see this amazing show that some of us have been fortunate to experience last year.
