Indeed. These shows didn’t happening this autumn. It could be very difficult to travel in UK until next year...

I don't think Peter would like to record another LP. He seems to not achieve (lyrics...) some song that he written so long ago. So an LP ? What a joke. Once again, Peter needs a new team and an agressive producer like Bob Ezrin if he wants to finish one of his different project.

Hello everyone!
I just read an interesting article:
https://ultimateclassicrock.com/2021-concerts/
There is not likely any 'big concerts' before 2022...
If the tour takes place, it will probably be in the spring of 2022 (not before). If not, we will be satisfied with professionally filmed rehearsals.
It's better than nothing!
Regards.

It's quite an amazing album. A great accomplishment. Steve achieves something amazing with this album: not only does his classical guitar technique continue to improve, but the sound produced is breathtakingly accurate.

No indoor show for a while. April, yes... but in 2022.
-
In my opinion: no arena show before 2022... 😔

Following the last devloppement of the covid in England, I'm not sure that the tour can take place in April?

Hello !
Does anyone know why Calling All Stations has been removed from spotify ?
That’s a strange decision...
-
The tour will be postponed to 2021 for sure...
-
I think that the band made a decision in july. There’s a chance that will be happen but more likely in...2021.

Me too dear Christian !

I saw them several times :
- We can’t dance world tour / Paris / 1992
- Calling all stations tour / Paris and Lyon / 1998 (the best for the sound quality)
- Turn in on again tour / Paris and Montreal / 2007.Next ?
- Glasgow / December, 12th / 2020 -
My favourite Tony Banks's album is the last one : a perfect writing and one of his best classical album. So...'5'.
-
Agreed with you Chris !
-
Playback ? I saw some videos and this is just Steve’s vocals - as usual - in playback, not the music...
Christian, what do you think ?
-
It's on Spotify since today...

Mike Rutherford was and he's still a great bassist when he wants to do it really (the last BBC's video show him very well on his instrument) but overall, he deciced to stay into the 'pop market side of his music'. So, that's make sense to play the awful 'I Can't Dance' instead of his old classic. That's a pity but it's like that.
Then, It would require a considerable effort to rework these old pieces. And Mike says himself that he prefers to compose than to seriously work his instrument. Also It's too bad that he would like to play as a lead guitarist (although he seems to play more bass guitar than before on the new Mechanics' team band and live show). He's an excellent rhythm guitarist but on lead, he has a poor vibrato and a bad control on his sustain notes.
For me, the best musicians on their 'initial instrument' in Genesis are Phil and Steve. It's not a coincidence that they arrive almost at the same time in the band...
Overall, I'm really impress about the Mechanics in a live situation right now. I do not understand why our new songs sound better in a live context than in a studio? Probably the mix lacks of dynamics and sounds too synthetic for my ears.
...But i prefer Steve's music for sure even if he's a less instinctive and (sometimes) melodic songwriter than Mike.
