Two big stars of the movie screen left us this week: George Segal and Jessica Walter.
To be dearly missed as their contributions to the Art of Drama & Comedy entertainment will always keep their memory alive.

UPDATE
German and Dutch shows now postponed until end of 2022. Logistic reasons apply since no Scandinavian dates could be arranged for late 2021 (before or after the German/Dutch shows). Scandinavian dates for end of 2022 will be announced shortly.
For a Canadian band, maybe the new Brexit visa and border crossing policies will not have such a heavy impact as stated by several UK artists like Fish and Elton John. They have said that now Brexit makes it much more difficult and unfeasible for them to tour the EU. We'll have to wait and see how all this post-covit pans out eventually but for sure, it will never be the same sadly.

Songs for Beginners - Graham Nash (a true Classic)

Without being influenced by reading the many previous posts, my 3 selections are:
Selling England by the pound - The Lamb lies down on Broadway - Duke
Hands down. Although I was fortunate to have seen all three album tours live, I also am passionately driven by their musical excellence. In fact for me, these are among my most fervishing and highly loved records of all time.

.... or imagine Collin and Hackett never joined the band.
That was my thought when I read in Steve's book that he could have lived his youth and adulthood in Canada if it were not that his parents got homesick and returned to England. Then, he would have never joined Genesis. He fulfilled his destiny!
-
For Steve:
Since you briefly lived in Canada as you described in your book, did you ever consider coming back and how disappointed or happy were you with your parents decision on returning to England?
Anticipated thanks if you introduce my questions to Steve and hope that the interview is soon!

Khaleesi. That was hard, very hard.
No shit!!

Don't get me started. I'm passionate about it too and I love Tyrion too (but Jorah Mormont has my heart)....
Well now that I am familiar with the main characters, I just watched last week the episode when Jorah gets kicked out of Mereen by his adored Khalisee (not sure how that is spelled but you know what I mean)

I switch from cable DVR, live TV, DVD & Blu Ray player, live streaming like Netflix or Prime to my IPTV App (which includes SKY channels). But not enough time, work comes first, so I enjoy that only during evenings.
Due to not being able to afford premium TV subscriptions at the time, I was unable to see Game of Thrones when it came out in 2011 and was popular on HBO. So now much later, I bought all 8 seasons and have been watching them with passion and excitement. The locations and visuals are stunning as is the storyline and characters. I keep craving for more and although I know how it will all end but love seeing how it all unfolded. It is complicated to follow all the different Kingdoms, leniages, origins, battles and even languages but that states how broad this series was. And yes, my favorite character is Tyrion Lannister.

I bought Steve's book, also Mike's and Armando Gallo's I know what I like, in digital format from Amazon Kindle 3 weeks ago. No paperbacks, that is not practical anymore dear folks.
What I've read in the book and read fans comments so far, it is very unfortunate that Steve does not delve more on touring and composing music. I found his childhood narrative days in England very boring and lack of substance.
Going from Kim Poor covers to the ones on his latest Premonition Box set artwork by Roger Dean is a huge improvement. But Steve should have shared the stories behind all of Kim's paintings but I'm sure he does not wish to be reminded of the painful divorce and prefers to appreciate his wife Jo. Fortunately, Kim's book provides that void:

This one does call for a hard copy!

Why could they not postpone till next year. I can't see it happening anytime this year
Totally agreed. This announcement is exciting but they should have waited for Covid contagion level to go down from RED as it is now to ORANGE at least. Mutant strains are STILL surfacing globally.
Just noticing besides there being only one drummer who is playing a conventional style, all the members are seated except for Mike and the background singers.
But I wish the well!

I'm listening to an "official" bootleg of the Lamb Lies down on Broadway concert recorded December 17th 1974 in Rochester NY (2 CD with full lamb show + Musical Box encore). Great sound and I also bought this t shirt!
-
I did not find a thread dedicated to the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album so I'll post here.
if the administrator wishes to move it, that's fine by me. But let me know if moved please.
So, coincidentally yesterday I walked in a local CD/DVD store in Dartmouth Canada and not only found this T shirt but also a double CD bootleg of the Lamb concert in Rochester recorded from a FM broadcast at the Auditorium Theater on December 17, 1974. And that is roughly two weeks after I saw this same show at the Montreal Forum! So I gladly purchase both (rather pricey though)
. The CD seems to be legitimate and sound quality I would sayo is B+
Huge The Lamb Fan

Genesis - Inside and Out
This song feels like Steve Hackett's farewell to the band.
Extra Tracks CD - Box set 1976- 1982
Now I finally have ALL the Box sets

All this going back and forth on pessimism or optimism, is pure baseless conjectures.
Even now almost ending August 2020, all I hear are more and more cancellations even for early 2021.
And it looks like it will keep creeping into the spring
Bottom line: It will all depend on getting a reliable vaccine by the end of 2020, then we can all say "Yes, there will be live music in 2021"! But as it is now, the present unstable situation is too volatile and unpredictable.
