    I've seen the Musical Box 4 times and going on a 5th time next week; about the retirement, I think it would have to do with age.


    I read a recent concert review in progressive ears saying that it is awkward to see a guy in his 50's (Denis) playing a supposedly "young" Real and looking way past the age for that role. It's about the image TMB wants to project and The Lamb show has lived its validity as an enduring tribute IMHO.


    But I'll see next week in Halifax if they can still pull it off even with the age factor creeping in on them. Time is relentless and unforgiving.

    Is there any plan for this tour to be released in the Encore format from the Music.com?

    Don't worry about the long delay. Mark isn't going to see it. He only joined when he was barred from some Facebook group and now he's back on there, he is long gone from here.


    Incidentally, is "Genisis" the French spelling? :/

    I doubt it, ever since then the Quebec media has always spelled it correctly as Genesis. It was a typo that was unnoticed and that got recorded in Montreal Genesis history. Did you also see the cheap price? $4.00 and I paid $200 for my last ticket on the Last Domino Tour also in Montréal! 8|


    I can't see how someone can get barred from a social media - unless you are Donald Trump of course.

    Lots of 80's younger people here.


    In the 70's I bought my first Genesis LP at 17 and it was Selling England by the Pound.

    I had just seen Genesis for the very first time (see ticket attached) in Montreal back in 1973 and was immensely impressed by them specially Peter Gabriel.


    At the time I was unfamiliar with their catalog so I was wondering why Supper's Ready was not on SEBTP (yep, no internet in that primitive time) but that changed when I discovered which album had it and later bought both Foxtrot and Live!


    This ticket is a true Gem for me (they were so unknown that even the name was misspelled!)


    Instead of starting a new thread (which is VERY hard to find the link to do that), I ask the users of this thread to list the VENUES where you saw Genesis perform Live.

    Mine are:


    1. Centre Sportif de la Universite de Montreal (3 times 73-74)
    2. Montreal Forum (Dec. 1974, Dec, 1981 twice and 1983 twice)
    3. Capitol Theater, Passaic NJ (June 1980)
    4. Madison Square Garden, New York NY (June 1980)
    5. Astrodome, Houston TX (May 1992)
    6. Pepsi Center, Denver CO (Oct. 2007)
    7. The Bell Center, Montreal QC (Nov. 2021)

    For me, the best venue that I enjoyed the most was the Capitol Theater Passaic NJ, I found it to be intimate, great acoustics and view plus it really was building up for the larger show at Madison Square Garden the next day. The worst was the Houston Astrodome with all the opposite characteristics in sound and views. It was the first time Genesis used Jumbotron screens but that did not help too much.

    I've seen Roger waters Live seven times, the last one was "This is not a Drill" in Montreal last month and was excellent.

    But if I recall correctly, the last concert where there was no politics involved in the production, was for the "in The Flesh" tour 2000. Although Roger and his band, played "Dogs" that as with all of the Animals album is loaded with political messages.


    Roger attacks most of the world leaders, for him none of them are clean cut or free of sin. The worst is Trump of course but, it gets tiresome and overly repetitive to see his annoying political views in full display when all we as fans want to see and hear is good music, or otherwise we would go to political rallies instead.
