OK so I've watched several clips and I must say, I really, really hope this is the last tour now, because seeing poor Phil sitting down on a chair singing this songs and straining his voice is kind of sad to watch. Not that the performances are bad - they're actually impressive. But compared to the 2007 tour excellence, it doesn't feel as special as it should.

They're still talented, but they really, truly are at the end of their road. They took a big risk with this tour and while the audience is clearly happy I just cannot see them doing this again. I'm going to watch more clips though because I am enjoying them.

That's so uncalled for from him.

Supper's got snubbed

Literally just this moment realised the tour's already started! :O

I need to get myself one of those!

It's great to know that over 42 million people have been vaccinated in time for the tour, with more on the way.

happy birthday, Thomas. Have a good one and keep staying with us.

I'll never be away for too long. Sometimes I go months without posting here but I'll make sure to return every now and then. And I'll never leave entirely.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone!

Boy, has time flown! When I joined the old forum in February 2011 I was 17, going on 18. I was in my last year of secondary school and only months away from university.

Stupid question but is it still going ahead? Even with everything still going on?

Several non-remastered Genesis songs.

Honestly, it just makes me kinda sad. I'm gonna say it and I don't care who disagrees. The non-remastered versions are absolutely phenomenal, and the remastered versions are inferior, existing only to be louder and removing so many sounds from the original versions that I didn't even know where in there. I own only the remastered versions and I wish I owned the non-remastered ones.

Edit: That said, comparing these versions, I can hear some of the sounds lost in the remasters to some extent, they are just harder to identify. If anything, it's good that the remastered versions helped me spot them. It's just that there are some sounds that don't come through well. For example the original Dance On A Volcano is oddly more emotional sounding with more strings that are pushed to the back in the remaster.

I still love the Genesis albums I have though, even if they aren't the ideal versions.

Under 30s should be eligible for vaccinations this week - really looking forward to finally getting mine!

It's unlikely they'll choose it but if they could perform Undertow that would be really good. They always snubbed that song, never once performing it live.

Quote from Fabrizio

Not sure I agree, of course I don't know the guy but he has built a reputation for NOT being like that, that episode seems really out of character.

Phil can be a nice guy, but his personal life has always been messy, and does tend to have a bit of a temper and control freak problem. I respect him immensely as a singer and drummer, though.

OK, I managed to read it.

Phil just being Phil, I guess. At least Chester Thompson doesn't bear a grudge even if they aren't on speaking terms.

I can't read the article because Rolling Stone blocks all the text asking me to subscribe. What did Phil say?

Happy 70th Phil and thank you for continuing to be one of my favourite singers and people in music!

Earlier I listened to the fifth album by Kaiser Chiefs: Education, Education, Education and War. Really good album, tons of energy.

I've really got way more into the Kaiser Chiefs ever since seeing them February 1st last year. I already liked them but I've found I like them even more now. Their songs just rock along so well.

I voted for Inside and Out, The Day the Light Went Out, You Might Recall, Do the Neurotic, On the Shoreline and Anything Now. All fabulous tracks!

Deaths have been pretty horrible recently. 1,630 today in the UK.
