Re the album title "Genesis", don't forget that before Abacab they were considering to change the band name, in the end they didn't.

Sunny and really warm. We already had a day with 29°C this week.

Abacab has to be the one song that constantly seemed to almost make it into set lists but turned out every time. Hasn't Phil said he had always problems to memorize its lyrics?
-
Maybe Genesis' 'Vancouver'? It has a synth line in the verses that is similar.

Re Genesis not having played any solo work in Genesis shows:

I think this is really a music journalists' thing. That public school boys band that don't know shit about rock'n'roll dumped their lead singer and the guy who divorced his wife by fax took them to the abysses of commercial sell-out...blah blah blah. There's always people who for a lack of ego follow those tabloid writers - who cares. Anyone who has an individual taste in music can see the merits of Genesis, whether you like it is up to you.

I’m proud to say I’m one such person, though to be specific I had previously suggested after the fact that Cinema Show be replaced by A in 9/8. For me the real “waiting for the person who will suggest” song is WhoDunnit. That stopped being clever about 45 suggestions ago.
Yup. They completely should of got Peter, Ant and Ray on stage for that one. "Was it you?" "Or was it me?!" "Or was it X? Or.....*ominous silence* ... Z???"

I wonder if there was some dropped song lyrics that inspired that picture. "Remember the day I was looking at the sky and you hammered my jaw one foot down" or sth.

*waits for the "they could have played Supper's Ready instead of X, Y and Z" person*

And here I thought this was music-related:
What other band are you listening to? None.
or:
What's your taste in music? None.

Wow, really a blast to read these lyrics. They were really quite airy-fairy at that time, lots about kings and queens and stuff.

I guess the scans on discogs are not what you are talking about?

I bet Blood On The Rooftops will win this thread. I would have been all for it, I was surprised they seriously talked about including it in the Last Domino tour.
That aside I'm also with all of you who mentioned Living Forever and Do The Neurotic.
On the CAS tour they should have played One Man's Fool. The buildup in the second half is fantastic, also it was one of the rare songs at that time the drummer got unleashed.
Too bad Tony found no way to get Mad Man Moon going. It would have been awesome.
And please. The Cinema Show with Aisle of Plenty.

There wasn't any doubt about it, eh?

it's scrambled eggs

^ That is exactly my problem with all the people who keep telling me "if you like this music then you really should listen to this!" It doesn't work that way.

Happy Birthday Gordon! Oops, er... Happy Easter everybody!
-
That moment when you realize 30 years ago was 1992...
-
Too bad they forgot those seminal Genesis songs:
- Twilight Air Mouse
- Tappy The Mad
- Saucer Of The Skies (Singer Variant)
- Going Out To Gadget
- Dust (Demo Verizon)
- Let Us Now Make Laugh
- Chef Beard
You really can't beat Patriotic Shea though. My fave in that list.

Man. Haven't seen any April jokes on this April 1st. Looks like April pranks are growing out of fashion.
