has anyone received collector ticket? 2 weeks to concertand ticketmaster still has not dispatched it
Mmm interesting, I had no idea they were giving out those. In Montreal Canada where I saw them in November, I only had the digital app ticket barcode that you couldn't even take a screenshot of (it was scalper protected) so I ended up with nothing.
But it may still be available on my account, I'll check.

We all have our own thoughts and opinion about the live videos from past tours. For example in my personal case having seen Genesis 12 times since 1973, I recall that I was very disappointed when I saw the 1980 video (Duke tour) of a concert I enjoyed immensely and confirmed that a video will NEVER replace actually being there live.
So if there will be no DVD or Blu-ray for the Last Domino tour, I'm fine and can live with it. I feel bad for the fans in Australia, Japan and Latin America that never had the chance to catch them for the last time. But yes, the YT videos are a good testimony and whatever poor quality video you got in your phone.
It's also a shame that The Music.com did not release any of the concerts of this tour like they did in 2007 when I have the soundboard CDs from my concert in Denver and the last one (on that tour) at the Hollywood Bowl, california. Seems like a lifetime ago.

Listening to this Duchess from Berlin video, I noticed that the vocalization improves greatly when the extra singers start their chorus. Even if many fans disagree but Phil's voice seems weak and tired. But kudos to him for the valiant effort at his age.

The Last Human Gateway (disc 2 of this) Beautiful set and music

The latest issue of Prog magazine has a big feature on Close To The Edge on the occasion of its 50th.
Look, I just thought you might like to know, OK?
Here in Atlantic Canada we get Prog issues about one month after the UK. I bought the Jethro Tull #126 issue last week but hope I can get my hands on CTTE #127 and the "complete story of Yes special". Barnes & Noble in the states get them sooner.

Great Gates of KIEV by ELP (interesting and relevant now because the Ukranians want it to be known as KYIV which is derived from the Ukrainian language, Kiev is Russian)

Phil Collins, "The Pentateuch of the Cosmogony" -- not an album by the band Greenslade, but a collaborative album involving Dave Greenslade.
Correct.
But, I did not say "the band" Greenslade but just his last name. Great album (I presume you have it) in the hardback 12" x 12" version with artwork by Patrick Woodruff that is fascinating.

ANGKOR WAT (in Cambodia) This is a place where a mystical temple is located - one of the true world architectural wonders, it is beautiful and very spiritual song by YES:
-
Name of Genesis band member who plays in a Greenslade album, who is that musician and what is the album title?
-
Run with the Fox - Chris Squire & Alan White (kind of YES

In 2010 having been invited, Peter Gabriel did not join Genesis for the Rock Hall induction when Mike gave his "valid excuses" to the audience.
Peter's heart has been distanced from Genesis for decades, if these final concerts at the O2 were a charity event for something like Amnesty International, there is a good chance he would be there. I would be very surprised if he shows up at the O2 shows, don't hold your breath.

Yeah, I remember the Canadian Music Festival in 1979 in Toronto. It was a one-day event. There were maybe 9 or 10 bands on the bill headlined by a trio of rockers: Aerosmith, Nazareth and Ted Nugent.
Johnny Winter came on before them, and before him it was The Ramones and that was the one act the crowd turned on.
It began with heckling and then people started whipping food and chunks of sod. I, of course, didn't participate in any of that, I was up in the stands as a young observer.
I recall The Ramones stopped playing mid-song very shortly into their set. One of the Ramones walked to the front of the stage, gave the audience the finger and the band walked off.
And I can remember when The Ramones opened for Black Sabbath at the Long Beach Arena (California Nov. 1978) and got a deluge of bottles thrown at them! I was young and not very amused by this behavior although I did not like their type of music but thought that they did not deserve such a rude reception.
So it appears this happened to them more than once, poor dudes

Something tells me this may not be the last domino.
The fans will still have The Musical Box and a load more of tribute bands to keep the flame going.
But Phil solo? Only in a senior retirement home singing from his chair to to the residents .
