Kurt Elling last night at Blues Kitchen Manchester.

Mama's Gun, LaFayette London, 5th November. Fantastic fun pop/soul band. Made the nightmare return journey from Manchester by coach (train strike! until 4pm Friday ************) worth it!

'A Trick of the Tail', as a 16 year old in 1976. A standout amongst all the great rock music we had from that era!

I was at the same Manchester Roxy Music gig as Mozo. I also agree with his comments, they were brilliant! I saw them back in 2001 but enjoyed this gig more, possibly because they might never play together again, I don't know. Bryan's voice wasn't quite there for the later hits 'more than this', 'jealous guy', 'dance away', 'avalon' 'oh yeah' but I thought he was fabulous on the earlier stuff particularly 'if there is something' which was a stand out for me. Plus it was the original band, just missing Eno. The stage show, lights and video effects were excellent also.
I'm just going to add 'Oh Yeah!' is one of my all time favourite tunes, the fade out at the end...the bass and sax, gets me every time!

Wow! Thanks for this, takes me back to watching OGWT 43 years ago, as others have said (the only PC solo tour I saw) the 'No Jacket Required' Tour in '85 when it was played as encore and I jumped up to many an inquisitive look when they started playing it!

Fair enough. But if you don't give them a try you'll never know.

Absolutely gutted, almost 2 years to the weekend since the Hackney Empire gig which we attended and of course was filmed. RIP, thoughts and prayers to his family.

RIP! Brand X listening weekend coming up........

Just back from The Watch in Manchester, they were on fire tonight, chronological set list - encore apart. Looked like a new member playing keys, Los Endos was phenomenal (imo). Check out setlist.fm and for fans of the Gabriel years DO check them out!
-
Just like to say I really enjoyed the G2 performance at Bury Met last saturday (30th Oct)! Great set list, fabulous musicianship! Only down side was several 'blokes' who constantly went to the bar and therefore the loo throughout the show (one even got up at the climax of 'Supper's Ready', fer' chrissakes!!!

Nice article from 'Prog': How Genesis journeyed from pioneering prog to eighties' superstardom

Just received an email from Ticketline - Manchester venue has changed from botw to 'The Blues Kitchen', again iirc that's the former 'Walkabout' aussie themed bar near the Opera House!? Looks like botw refurb is behind schedule.........
-
(IMO) I think Simone struggles with the 'Phil' vocals. And iirc (I have seen them several times) I don't recall them playing anything after 'Trick', apart from a solo Gabriel style show (songs from his first 3 albums) and in the second half they played the instrumental 'Duke' suite (no vocals).
