Just got the album.
Most enjoyable.
The track 'Circus Of Wire Dolls' reminds me of the sound you would get if Trevor Rabin & Marillion did a song together.

Thanks.
That list is so similar to may own best tracks!
Any other songs we may have overlooked that demand to be at the top of Tony's best work?

What are your all time favourite solo songs by Tony?
I don't listen to his solo work nearly as much as I should, although I have all his recordings.
Lately, I've been struck by the song The Border - remastered version.
Tony's playing, the arrangement, Alistair Gordon's vocals and lyrics are all outstanding.
Any other fans of this song?
The Border Tony Banks - Remastered
The intro always reminds me a little of Anthony Phillips Anthony Phillip's Force Majeure:
QuoteDisplay MoreThe Border
Dry forever the sun blinds off the whitewashed walls
Unbelieving she looks up from the unswept floor
You don't have to go you don't have to tell me
All that talk of lofty causes wrapped in foolish pride
That's a lie
That you don't have to tell me
I don't wanna hear how wisdom walks beside you
Or how God is inside you again
No wire marks the border
No fence or wall
No town breaks this horizon
Nothing at all
Dust surrounds her the men go hungry for disaster
All they leave behind are
The old and useless and the broken
That never will be mended
I don't wanna hear you're captured by the madness
Of ideas long discredited from other people's minds
They're all lies
That you don't have to tell me
All that comes of this is poverty and hardship
Still you don't absorb a word I say
But now there is a border
A line of blood
Now men patrol the border
But they're dead
Somewhere a bird is flying oh
Somewhere the wind is sighing oh
I hope it brings you comfort
Cos it's surely no good to me
This wind blows me down
And cuts me like a knife
And now the darkness and coldness
That freezes out illusion
Restores the picture gives back the pieces
And lays them on the empty floor
I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me
How you rewrite history a little every day
Till it's lies
That you don't have to tell me
I don't want to hear how good it really has been
How wonderful the troubles we shared
No I don't want to hear so you don't have to tell me
I don't need your comfort I just need your company

That's a great version - thank you!
Also enjoyed this version - many years later - but Phil still has it!!
Genesis - Mama (from When in Rome 2007 DVD)

Just had a listen - very impressed - thanks!

Just been listening to the 1990 Knebworth version of Mama.
That made me wonder - which is the best live version of Mama available on youtube in your opinion?
All recommendations will be enjoyed and listened too!
Cheers

Thank you so much!

I'm surprised at these prices. I think Steve's 'Second Out' ticket prices were around £50 or so when I looked the other day, making them look like a bargain in comparison.
-
What a choice! That made me laugh...Still congratulations to both men for all the pleasure their work has given me over the years.
-
Wow! Really enjoyed this - thank you for making it available.
-
I love Trespass! I used to study the lp version for hours and I always thought the cover matched the music too.
I also love the cover for 'Shapes' and 'Abacab' too.

I think it was on his first solo album, but I could be wrong?
