Saw a couple of videos on youtube. I must say, I kinda like Nad's voice, but on some of the stuff it's just not fitting, i.e. Afterglow. Ok, you can compare this to the current Genesis tour, which may not be fair, but perhaps Nad should reduce his high note expression faible from time to time

The album features a reworked track from the project "Harmony for elephants".
indeed it does - sounds slights better imo
Amanda also talked about this in the interview here:
-
Well ...
nice stuff!
-
I have added my own review to this site
https://www.genesis-news.com/c…info-and-review-s798.html
Let's discuss!
fair rating of the album. It ineed has its moments, but you tend to think "that's too much" on most of the tracks.
-
Oh dear. I don't know why he does this. He could've done this far better, i.e. "we are three nights in London and Genesis are three nights in Birmingham. Everybody enjoy!" or something like that.
-
both, Anthony and Daryl play the FoF solo in a different way compared to Steve. Personally, I do like Anthony's approach more - but as always that's just a matter of taste.
-
I heard the album twice and need some time, can’t say good or average right now but obviously Steve plays some wonderful guitar parts. Scorched Earth is a great song
-
For me, their best song is "The Day Before You Came", atmospheric, superb lyrics that tell you everything about her future by focusing on her past, pop songs don't really come any better.
interesting - same here. And there’s an awful cover version by Steven Wilson.
Coming back to the new tracks. I like them both, Don’t shut me down is my favorite -
Watched the show recently and had tears in my eyes. I do want to see the show and although Genesis are different to the Collins solo shows (wheee everything is focused on him), it really hard to see Phil this way singing Genesis tracks. And not drumming etc.
Mama sounded really good in this new version but of course it makes you wonder how the other tracks might work. Soon we will know
-
Ha! Didn’t know this one. Great ending. And it makes me sad Phil can’t do this anymore.
Thanks for sharing

Do we really need politics in this forum? The COVID stuff in some threads is pretty annoying ...
-
I have decided not to go. Circumstances are not great for non UK residents. Hope they will do more shows next year.
-
Have a boot DVD of that somewhere. It's a shame they never released a full show. The tour was geat, maybe his best.
-
good luck & all the best!
-
Just watched this again. What a wonderful documentary. It’s really interesting how scared they were before the first show.
I hope they will do something like this for this tour as well. -
I went back and watched Nic’s interviews on YouTube from March and April of this year. In those interviews he says that there were three songs that were particularly hard for him to learn and that after learning them none of them made the setlist. He does say he had the songs learned (I stand corrected—in an earlier post I suggested perhaps he hadn’t managed to get those songs down). The 3 songs he mentions specifically as being difficult to learn were Apocalypse in 9/8 (he said he found it impossible to count to so he had to memorize the drum section); Los Endos; and Second Home By the Sea. Whether that means those are the three “hardest” songs that didn’t make the setlist—hard to say for sure. He also said the band was completely ready to tour before the first delay due to Covid. The concert—musically and visually—was totally prepared. That would lead me to believe that no changes have been made to the setlist since then.
I think the lighting designer Woodroffe said in his BBC interview (the one where Gabriel called him) that they have recorded a full run during rehearsals. Simply because they didn’t know whether or not this show could ever be staged in front of an audience.
so, I also don’t expect they changed anything since last autumn. -
Had mixed feelings about the 2007 setlist but this is just my thing. I so wanted Blood on the rooftops to be played and was tired of No son of mine and plenty of IT tracks. In the end they did a big tour in stadiums etc so that had to be played.
but still I have this feeling they missed a chance to do special stuff. Don’t think they will now -
I think he means INCLUDING. If they are different, he'd want both. Myself, I want neither!
same here. What for? Don’t care about this release really. Doesn’t bother me one way or the other.

Thanks for this info! I would never have found out about this album without your posting. Looks like promotion is mainly social media these days?

I have never collected bootlegs or torrents and was always a bit reserved about audience recordings as they simply might spoil or even destroy the experience. So I never heard that 1982 gig. Getting older, I am more and more thinking I should.
