Always enjoyed the Stagnation solo - loved when Tony started sneeking it into the IKWIL live instrumental.

Also saw The Musical Box in Birmingham. The band were on top form. The whole show was a visual and audio treat in 2024 - in 1973 it must have been truly mind-blowing!
-
Did someone really say they enjoyed going to Hull?
Yes and strangely enough I'll be back there next week leading a walking tour of the city - there are indeed interesting places to see in Hull!
-
Really enjoyed their gig in Hull.
-
I think there is some Phil in there as well.
-
Totally gutted. Had tickets for Symphony Hall. Let's just hope that Andrew comes through OK.
-
Fantastic at York - an unbelievable experience. The visuals and lighting for 1975 shows why Genesis were a great live band. Masterful performances by all of The Musical Box - will certainly join them for SEBTP next year.

A beautiful atmospheric song with great work by Tony, but what lifts to a 15 for me are the vocals. Phil's voice is so full of emotion and yearning - probably my very favourite track on Duke.
-
I's been a long, long time. I think I bought tickets for the York show back in 2019. We are finally getting ready to head to York for the show this week!

I was looking forward to see John Cale at Birmingham Town Hall tonight but just had notice that the concert has been cancelled - a victim of covid! Sitting here in Lincoln wondering whether to still get the coach and use our overnight room. Oh well!

Great to see a call out for Gillian Welch - I am not a country fan but she is just amazing.

Klaus Schulze died 26 April aged 74. Timewind is one of my favourite albums from the German electronic music gendre.
-
OK, well, my next gig is Steve Hackett at the Scottish Rite Auditorium on April 8th. Of course, I am looking forward to it very much! 👍
However, I am really here to tell you about a ticket I just bought, for an act I thought was not ever going on the road again (just like with Genesis before they announced “The Last Domino?”).
Roxy Music is doing a small run of shows in honor of their 50th anniversary in North America and the UK! The original band (minus Brian Eno, of course) is going on the road again - yes, even Andy Mackay, who had somewhat recently announced his retirement from live performance due to his Dupuytren’s Contracture. I guess he found a treatment/training regimen that worked for him.
There is a pre-sale going on RIGHT NOW. If you want to take part in it, the password is “ROXY50” (without the quotation marks) for pre-sales on both sides of the pond.
I already have my ticket for Philadelphia, three days before the general on-sale. If you are a Roxy fan, now is your chance to see them again, and very likely for the last time.Thanks for the heads up about the pre-sale. Tickets are in the bag for the O2. Possibly, like Genesis, the last time we'll see them live.
-
The Unthanks at the Lincoln Drill Hall on 13 April. Stunning folk band with a minimalist feel. From a prog perspective their take on Starless is breathtaking.
This week the main task is to try and get tickets to see Roxy at the O2 in October - good luck to everyone on Thursday morning.
-
Just booked tickets to finally see John Cale in Birmingham - sadly I never got to see Lou Reed.
-
Looking forward to finally see Tangerine Dream at Coventry Cathedral on 11 March.
-
With the postponement of The Musical Box in York I am hoping that I will get to see Van Der Graaf Generator in Birmingham in February. Always enjoyed their music but never seen them live.
-
Disappointed but not that surprised. Had planned a binge listen on five man Genesis working up to The Lamb. Instead I'm just going to for a complete run through from FGTR to Calling All Stations. Hope to be in York next year for a concert with tickets booked three years earlier. Not the first concert to appear in 2023 as I have tickets for Camel later in the year.
Still looking forward to Van Der Graaf Generator later in February and Tangerine Dream in March so keeping fingers-crossed!

Had the good fortune to see PG on his first tour - 13 Sept 1977 at Newcastle City Hall.
-
Well Phil got this one wrong - Genesis alive and kickin' (we hope) in March 2022!!
