Blimey. That is one long medley with a whole album incorporated.

Quote from martinus

R.E.M. Live in Madrid - Drive

Michael Stipe had, I think, a sore throat that day and a very raspy voice, but boy does he deliver! My favourite version of the song.

That sent me down an R.E.M rabbit hole over the weekend. Big Fan

Quote from thewatcher

Battle of Epping Forest + Whodunnit

The Whodunnit in the Battle of Epping Forest, why Liquid Len of course.

I have a feeling Genesis is not going to do Home By The Sea 1/2.

My wishful songs:

Squonk

Robbery Assault & Battery

Entangled

Fly on a Windshield/Broadway Melody Of 1974

Carpet Crawlers

Blood on the Rooftops

In the Quiet Earth

Afterglow

Eleventh Earl of Mar

Cinema Show

Who Dunnit?

Man On The Corner
And all of of Duke

Quote from absinthe_boy

I doubt there will be halves. Two hours straight, possibly with the band leaving the stage and returning for an encore.

And they won't ever play the entire Cinema Show again. Mike has "forgotten" the unusual guitar tuning of the opening lines and has declined to re-learn them since 1983.

I meant the second half of Cinema Show (musical section) not the actual show... My wording was a bit strange.

Cinema Show starting at the second half will be the opening song. Prove me wrong Genesis, I dare you.

I saw Genesis in Detroit that tour. We slept out for tickets with 500 others. Fantastic.

My buddy and I were air-drumming to ITC/Medley, waiting for Afterglow, and when heard Apocalypse 9/8 we freaking lost it.

I think the best concert version is King Biscuit at the Los Angeles Forum: Touch To Supper's Ready

Take me home

Inside Out

Long long way to go

The order changes from time to time, but live versions are the best.

Quote from Mozo

Let's face it, most bands favour their recent material live, especially when there's an album to promote. We've all seen it, and it's part of the way it works usually.

There is no new material. There's old stuff, very old stuff, and ancient stuff.

Some may say biblical....

Quote from thewatcher

I'm watching the mama tour video right now, and am inspired to guess that the opening track on this tour will be

A - Mama

Or if not then my wildcard guess

B - Lamb Lies down on Broadway

Assuming the "usual" TIOA/BTL guesses aren't correct

I was watching the MAMA tour last week and was thinking it is strange TIOA with all the non-Genesis songs, they could have played Supper's Ready.

Quote from Colbefc

This is my fav band at the moment, called The Hu Band. They are a Mongolian folk/rock band, takes a minute for the video to get going but give it a listen, it is addictive.

My wife had tickets to see these guys last March but decided not to go do to be safe.

Quote from Liquid Len

That is a blast from the past.

Quote from thewatcher

I seem to enjoy underrated music by bands, like it's a secret or something. This is surely one of the best examples. No, it's not perfect. It's pretty messy and chaotic actually (and the 13th is awful) but a lot of the chaos is joyous and beautiful. Want, This is a Lie and Jupiter Crash are terrific.

"However unsure
However unwise
Day after day play out our lives..."

I wasn't familiar with this album at all. I started listening to a few days ago and can't stop. Thank you for posting.

bummer not posting to the US

When the tour gets on its way, this or a new thread that does have the set list will have *SPOILER ALERT*?

I really like to be surprised. I know that is hard in this day and age, but I was able to hold back most of the set list in 2007 and was surprised with a few songs.

Quote from TheWestSide

I wonder which track will open the show.

Duke’s intro?

Squunk?

Abacab?

Land of confusion?

what do you think?

If Genesis started with Behind the Lines I think they will do Duchess as well.

Maybe something like Dodo/Lurker.

My money is on Land of Confusion.

Quote from Liquid Len

Yes. Neither of his two solo albums are available on iTunes either. It’s a shame. Especially right now with Genesis active again and whatnot, there is an interest in all things Genesis related.

I'm surprised. Mike's solo albums used to by on iTunes. I did however find The Anon's Pennsylvania Flickhous under Anonymous

I love the Genesis Museum watermark

Thanks for sharing Nanunami. I don't remember Genesis playing the Lamb during that tour. I will have to dig through some of my old recordings.
