Tony Smith is commercially orientated....

But the band would certainly be in a position to say "no" to a live release.

In Richard Macphail's latest "Radio Rich Pickings" Tony Banks appears not to rule out a future release though....

TS is their manager - so he deals with business options

I believe they all said we don't need a concert film, since they did that plenty of times in the past and the set was not that much different from 2007. Nevertheless, Tony Banks seems to regret not filming the London shows. But in the end there won't be a miracle. Something that wasn't filmed can't be released, simple as that! They certainly won't use the screen-footage.

Only thing possible would be an extended release of the documentary with a full show as an extra disc - since we all know that was filmed.

Is it just me or is this rather disappointing?

"Duchess" from the latest tour and also the stripped down "Lamb" version, that I enjoyed a lot!

Quote from Dr. John

There are also songs that are not favourites and I am surprised they played them live:

All In a Mouse's Night

Say It's Alright Joe

Me and Virgil

Like It or Not

When did they play "Like it or not"??

Quote from KeithC

Presumably he is referring to a UK release of the PBS doc. I would be happy to have this as part of a blu ray set comprising the When in Rome concert, and the Come Rain or Shine doc. Given the stature of the band and their longevity, I think we have been poorly served by Tony Smith over the years. If Steve Hackett can put out high quality videos of his tours, which are on a much smaller scale, I can't see why Genesis couldn't. The excellent When in Rome concert was put out on DVD only. Come on Tony Smith do keep up, everything is in HD now. That none of the 2021/22 shows have apparently been filmed shows that Tony Smith has lost the plot.

I can understand they didn't film it. The setlist was pretty much the same, the market is different now. On the other hand, it probably was the best stage show they ever did. But they did tape the rehearsals, so maybe we will see something at some point.

Duchess is my (probably obvious) choice. I also thought No Son Of Mine was strong during the later part of the tour.

The Lamb, Mama, Home By The Sea - and Domino

Some time has passed ... I saw the first and third show in London and enjoyed them both. The first one was a bit difficult for me, for some reason I was really emotional. The final show then was more like a bittersweet farewell for me. I smiled more than I was sad. But of course it really was sad to hear Phil say that this was their final show. Same with the "Peter Gabriel is in the audience" part. There was this "get on the f''''' stage" moment.

In the end I was happy they didn't do it. They ended this tour as they have started it, just stronger. And it was a goodbye for Tony, Phil and Mike - Peter and Steve have nothing to do with that. A reunion show could have happened 15 - 17 years ago and they didn't do it, so that chance is lost forever.

Thanks for the music, that will stay! And unforgettable moments during their final tour, which was so much stronger than I expected.

Nic did a great job drumming for Genesis - but his own stuff is really not my cup of tea. And I doubt many Genesis fans will like it.

This was indeed part of the Selling England tour, but things were obviously a bit dfferent back then (compared to later tours). Tracks might have been played before the album was released and things were not that static.

I have plans for one Paris show and two in Cologne! Fingers crossed.

Have ordered the album and although I don't like all tracks, this project is really worth checking out.

It may also be interesting for fans who aren't that aware of Anthony's work.

A nice birthday gift as well.

... hoping those shows will take place

I am a bit surprised they changed the set for North America - I thought they would have sticked to the regular set from the UK. We all know they didn't do Jesus he knows me and Hold on my heart in the end, although it was rehearsed and also printed on shirts. Abacab was also done during rehearsals, so Misunderstanding was a little surprise. Nevertheless, I expect Duchess to be back in the set in Europe 2022 - or maybe Abacab? Who knows ... But I don't think they will do Misunderstanding in Europe.

Thanks A LOT for your very personal and interesting reports. Now I'm even more looking forward to Amsterdam (and maybe another show) in 2022...

I like Nic's drumming, but of course he only plays stuff from his dad (apart from his own band, which is obviously not relevant for the nomination), so I assume he won't win.

Not sure ... he didn't add much to it, so it's rather boring, in my opinion.

Quote from Christian

We have added the FULL SHOW to our YouTube Channel

Thanks for uploading this! Much appreciated.

Any news from Liverpool? Mike's birthday was twi days ago, I can imagine something happened during the show.

The shows won't last a lot more than 2hours - Mike said early on that two hours in enough.

I watched this again after I saw the Last Domino? documentary. What a different time that was!

And early during this tour, Phil sang differently:

Ok, the setlist prediction was not really difficult. From his solo stuff, I was hoping to hear different stuff than Every Day or Clocks (which he has played quite regularly), i.e. The Steppes, Icarus Ascending or even something like Cell 151 or Camino Royale.
