The Dividing Line also became my favorite. Actually, I was surprised that Ray WIlson took over. I knew Stiltskin, but never was a fan. Inside was a massive hit, bit the connection to Genesis didn't seem obvious. So I was hoping for a darker, heavier album.
Some tracks shopuld have been dropped, i.e. If That's What You Need. Anything Now would have fit much better.
I also like Small Talk.
On the other hand, Shipwrecked and Not About Us remain. favorites of mine as they are decent ballads.
Agreed; after I discovered the bootleg double CD "Live in Poland", I was able to at least get an idea on how the band sounded in early 1998.
Sadly they never came to this side of the pond so it was great to hear Ray's interpretations of classics like: The Lamb, Carpet crawlers, Firth of Fifth and a few Collins era tunes like Mama, Domino and Home by the Sea. Ray and the band did an excellent job!
Also on this Poland setlist are: Alien afternoon, Dividing line, Shipwrecked and of course, Congo.
I never understood why Chester and Daryl were not in the 1998 live band but Nir Z and Anthony Drennan did a respectable job live.
