  • Your next gig

    Finally, FINALLY a Genesis tribute band - The Cinema Show, which bills itself as the Australian Genesis show. This just popped up in my Facebook feed. Their previous Sydney show was too far away from me but I can do this one. They claim they do Gabriel & Collins stuff as well.

    I will just repeat that opinion is not fact, and while I agree that Phil has been unfairly villfied, that is hardly the fault of artists like Sheeran & Bieber. We seem to be getting into another area now.

  • Sales database

    I get it. Although the 'trying, he can't sell anything' line makes no sense given that he has in fact sold millions.


    But this is only your opinion, remember. He has a large fan base. To each their own. You can't just sit all his fans down and insist to them 'you mut not listen to Ed! You must listen to Genesis'!


    Those of us who can remember the punk rock era when prog bands were dumped on from a great height by all and sundry would hopefully try to be more accepting of 'younger people's tastes'.

  • Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler

    Here's the video. Mike is all through it. It's fantastic to find out who plays where. It brings tears to my eyes.

  • Your last gig.

    Graham Nash at the Opera House on Tuesday night. He looks incredible for his age, only a very small band with him playing guitar, keyboads & harmonica. He did only one Hollies song, which was Bus Stop, but a stack of others from througout his career - opening with Wasted On The Way, then Military Madness. Two songs in particular stood out, I Used To Be A King & Cathedral. Of the CSNY songs, we were treated to a beautiful verson of 4+20 (and he also did Love The One You're With) and all my hopes were fulfilled with a storming version of Ohio (tin soldier's and Putin's coming) to close.

  • Random non-Genesis music stuff

    Quote from foxfeeder

    Had Greatest Hits Radio on in the car earlier, Ken Bruce doing listeners "tracks of my years", the nominated listener picked Howzat by Sherbet, a great song, which, maybe oddly, always puts me in mind of another great song, Sky High by Jigsaw (which, from memory, is from the film "the man from Hong Kong"). Guess what said listeners next choice was? Maybe not so odd after all. ;)

    I was Sherbet's biggest fan when I was a teenager. I saw them many times. Strangely enough, in their earlier years they were quite 'prog'. They did a nine minute version of Graham Nash's Chicago which was very simlar to the Nice (the keyboard player worshipped Keith Emerson). Then they sacked the guitarist and went pop, with Howzat going to Number Two in the UK. Why they thought that song would bring them success in the US too, I have no idea.

  • RIP Thread!!

    I worship Make Me Smile (Come Up And See Me) but don't know Harley's other work at all - a similar thing I have with two of my other favourite songs, Africa by Toto and More Than A Feeling by Boston. Sometimes one song is enough. That probably sounds silly. RIP Mr Harley.

  • Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler

    From what I can gather each musician plays at a specific part of the song. By the way, Paul Carrack is on it too! Next week another video will be released which will pinpoint exactly where in the track each musician plays. Of course it's possible that if Mike is playing rhythm he could be there throughout as Sting is on bass.


    It''s an exciting time to be a Knopfler fan so I'm rather beating the drum a bit. He's retired from touring though. A live performance of this track with as many of the people as he could get would be epic.

  • Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler

    While I am at it - I never post photos on here because I know I need to post them from my computer, but as I have a couple of Mark at the moment here he is at St James Park. He & Brian Johnson will be co-hosting a series about various musicians on Sky Sports from April 25.

  • Dire Straits / Mark Knopfler

    Thank you for that. I never understood why Mark opened for Dylan. I love Dylan but I have seen him live three times, and each time got more & more underwhelming. The first time I saw him was on the joint tour with Tom Petty - when Mark was a special guest, because it was in the middle of Dire Straits' record breaking run in Australia (which I am proud to have attended). I took a photo. This was in 1986, remember:


  • re-issues in the near future?

    My daughter doesn't listen to CDs at all. She watches lyric videos on YouTube. She doesn't even watch the actual videos (e.g. she likes Games Without Frontiers, but doesn't watch the official video). I assume she sometimes listens to music on her phone.
