The main guitar riff in Moonlit Knight and Aisle of Plenty was something Peter came up with on the piano, then Steve played it on the guitar. Steve confirmed this in some interview. Outtake bootlegs of Selling England would suggest by any means the whole first part of Moonlit Knight (everything with vocals) was all Peter's, the wild instrumental parts with the solos were Steve's, and the ending section was Mike's. Of course, this always means "the one who came up with the initial idea". The whole band would set out the arrangements, and there's always little bits others contributed.

What are the conditions to see shows in Amsterdam oder in England if you're coming from Germany?

Overall mostly close enough, with some errors and some wild guessing.
Twilight Alehouse got a unique Banks/Gabriel/Hackett/Phillips/Rutherford credit on Archive #1. All the rest I'll go through later maybe.

The set list is mixed, this far we have been practising mostly later songs though:
Let it be
Happiness is a warm gun
Get back
Come together
Oh Darling
Money (That's what I want)
I've got a feeling
Don't let me down
I want you (She's so heavy)
Here comes the sun
While my guitar gently weeps
I saw the set list includes earlier stuff too, A Hard Day's Night, Norwegian Wood, You've got to hide your love away etc.

Where can I preorder? I'm anxious it's gonna be out of stock the day after.

Stormy (again!), rainy, chilly.

I joined Krissy's forum once the old official board shut down and got replaced but the messy Ning platform. If Krissy's forum was a clique thing up to that point, it later on became the inofficial "official" forum. I loved that forum, it was one of the few forums in which people really acted mature, most of the times at least. The only annoying thing was long-time members who kept complaining "this forum is boring because everything has been discussed to death".

Listening to a lot of Beatles songs since I joined a Beatles cover band a few weeks ago. This far every song gives me this: "Oh I know that one from memory...Wait, what? That's what they play in the backing track???" Beatles songs aren't as easy as memory tries to make them

By any means Peter proved his talent to come up with something that could be interpreted in a zillion meanings, each of which would make sense.

You might want to check out Ray Wilson's concerts.

Waiting for the one fan who picks the Quiet World album.

Please can we make them play The Movement one last time? I'll set up a petition.

OK, I'm stunned. As the above video I just put includes the obscure song 'The Light' too, I listened to it again. Go to 16:44. Is it just me, or does Phil indeed play "ba-dam! ba-dam! ba-dam! ba-dam! bam! bam!" I wonder where I've heard that drum riff before...

Hope this counts. Admit also for my own curiosity.
What are the difference s between Bye Bye Johnny and Can Utility and the Coastline's?
The easiest way to answer this for your own curiosity is to listen to both, there's a bootleg recording of Bye Bye Johnny out there on youtube. I'll add it when I searched for it, I got it as a download.
Bye Bye Johnny has a few extra bars in the quiet beginning section, then proceeds overall similar to the final version - however, Tony's mellotron solo is much longer and in parts different, particularly does he use pitch bend effects I could never make out in any other Genesis recording, at least regarding the mellotron. Also, there's not one but three (if my memory serves right) quiet sections with vocals in between the solo, with extra lyrics that didn't make it to the final version. After the solo, there's a short section that could be called a drum solo, leading into a notably different transition to the following parts. In short, from the mellotron solo onwards this earlier version differs a lot from Can-Utility; and finally, right at the point it appears to go back into familiar territory, the extant recording fades out. As far as I know, there's is no complete recording of Bye Bye Johnny.

Fascinating, thanks.

Chilly but sunny winter day after a cold and foggy night.

Does Phil play drums during the instrumental outro on Living Forever?
I'm pretty sure he does. That whole second half sounds like one of their "structured jam sessions".

Actually, The Waiting Room is very untypical for Genesis in any way. Even the fact they kept it a jam session in live versions is completely untypical Genesis.
