Wasn't aware this existed. It's quite funny, a bit strange but overall a nice contribution by Phil!

Mostly agree.

They lost me more and more over the years, but "Everyday Life" is one of their best albums. The last one plus the two new singles are mainly crap, but they still rock it live.

Never been a fan of that kind of music, really - but aware of their influence on many artists and bands.

Great show, obviously!

A report about the summer tour 2024 is now online here:

Thanks for sharing - saw one of the Zoetermeer shows and was very happy. I hope to see another one this autumn!

Quote from Henry Hamilton-Smythe

I had never listened to anything on this album until I saw this poll.

Unfortunately, I’ve got to say that I much prefer the Tempations’ version….but it’s also what I’ve known for 50+ years.

Phil pretty much reproduces the original backing tracks. For someone like me who grew up with the original versions, it feels like a karaoke album.

I think that was Phil's plan, to re-create that sound, so no wonder it sounds like that.

I like that, but I can also understand your point!

For me, "Papa Was A Rolling Stone" is the standout track on "Going Back"

So, today's the day. Has anyone ordered this boxset and can share some impressions, once it has arrived?

Thanks

12! And the video was really nicely done.

Wonderful and nice acoustic track, quite simple, nevertheless a catchy melody. Would have been interesting to see how that might have sounded with a proper band. I always wonder why Ant never tried that again (a band, I mean).

10/15

That is a big shock! We worry about Phil, then this happens.

R.I.P. - you've been special for Genesis!

A lot of stuff has appeared on YouTube over the years and we can only assume there is a lot more somewhere in archives. I gave up hope they might put all of this together in a decent boxset. A shame really ...

Not a fan of Ant's music (at least not a "hardcore" fan), but what you do here is simply outstanding for fans who like Ant's stuff. Just wanted to drop that ....

12/15

A good track on an outstanding album. And also it fits both, story and musical journey on that record.

He does look frail, but I'm glad he's content and hope he gets a lot of joy from tinkering around in the studio.

He has been looking frail ever since he returned on stage in 2017. So ...?

Would be nice to see some stuff from the 2006 rehearsals in New York City!

The final night (Genesis) in London was special, but not the best one I saw. That probably was Wolverhampton 1992 (Me and a friend saw a few shows in late 1992 in the UK). Wish I had seen the 1983/84 tour (or even earlier tours).

Phil: Serious Tour, Munich

Peter: Milano 1993

Quote from DecomposingMan

I have to say, I've been familiar with the song "How Long" since long before I knew who Paul Carrack was, and until seeing this thread I never knew he wrote and sang it! (Side note: I always thought the line "I ain't quite as dumb as I seem" was kind of interesting.)

I was too young at the time and discovered his own work after I heard him sing as part of Mike & the Mechanics. But I realized I did know "Tempted" by Squeeze, just never thought it might be Paul singing.

This wasn’t my favorite when the album came out. It took a while to appreciate this one but more than 12 points would be unfair, compared to I wish it would rain down and other highlights..

I just got an email saying they have a one-day screening. I'm nowhere remotely nearby. Is anyone else that expects to attend? I don't even know if this actually screened last time. It seems as pops up occasionally with a lot of discussion and then uncertainty if anything actually happens. I would love to know if it does what the actual audio in a video content shown is. It would be nice if this got some sort of wider release. The audience interested isn't exactly getting any younger.

Here is the relevant excerpt from the email I received:

Atomic Sunrise will be shown in London

12 October 2024

and filming of the event will be used for Streaming later.

. . . . . . . . . .

To be in that audience - and see Atomic first:

* Register as a Friend of Atomic (if not already)

*Agree to being filmed

*Agree NOT to film the event yourselves.

are you sure the Genesis part is included? Last time I read something about the Roundhouse thing the Genesis management didn't give permission to screen any of the footage (or am I mistaken?)

Quote from foxfeeder

I've mulled over this for a few days, teetering between 8, 9 & 10, finally gone with 8.

It's OK, I used to like it a lot more than I do now, but looking at the album, Humdrum and all of side 2 easily top it.

interesting ...

I was thinking bout 9, 10 or 11 and have chosen 11 now. Mainly because it's rather unique in his repertoire and it has certain "Genesis moments". Cannot describe this better ...

I am really happy I am not a vinyl collector. On the other hand it's nice to see they make the albums available again.
