yes good points made. Lots of other bands putting out virtual/streamed performance. Would be nice to maybe see a couple of tracks from rehearsals stuck on YT...Just to keep us all going in these tough times

Not disimilar to my thoughts... may be pushed back to 2021 or not at all. May depend on how band feel about the whole effort involved. Keeping safe and healthy is more of a reality...time will tell, but expect an announcement within next few weeks

on Maconie and Radcliffe sunday morning show. Was a winter solstice themed show hence the selection!

Plenty listeners sent in their respect for the track

Listening to 6 radio this morning. Heard Snowbound being played...i think this must be the first time heard it on the radio in all these years !😊

Roll on April...come on boys you can do it ! The issues with cancelling shows are big for the promoters and arenas. They may decide to some additional shows outdoors...maybe Hyde Park BST?...personally would much prefer smaller indoor venues

Was it the ability for Steve and Tony to smile on stage?....only joking boys 😊

i have got my head round the fact that it wont be like Phil of old...but hopefully the others can help out. Mike is used to leading a band. Am sure the stage show will make it for it...if they can borrow the huge U2 screen then could start be great! 😊

So looking like the boys are still up fot it!...🤞

whatever the gory details that the paper's are printing...you have to think it could effect Phil and does put Nic in a tough position. Hopefully they can work things through

Would be great..i guess a cameo would solve any issue about set lists..so he could do a few old numbers. PG has kept his distance but he may be game for it..after all he did tour with Sting ..so clearly more relaxed!

As mentioned a few weeks back..the full interview with SH and Guy Garvey...a man who certainly appreciates genesis. Steve in good form and a fine slab of Genesis on the radio!. Enjoy

yes that it is..first band to have 5 top 5 singles from one album in the US

When you think of all the great bands that came before..quite an achievement

Whatever you may think of IT ..hats off and shows that they were on a roll at the time

Over to you...

wasn't the answer i was thinking about (although may be the case). The question was more band specific

ok..hopefully fairly straightforward for a Monday morning!...genesis were the first band to achieve something in the USA...which was?

This link gives a list of albums and best charted history...similar to early list...although the Lamb slightly higher

Incidentally, Tommy Vance used to have an annual top 10 tracks of all time and I remember Suppers Ready always was in The top 3 once ..comment from Wayne

Now that takes me back...had a recorded show on tape that played to death. Each year you voted for best rock tracks....from memory my tape had Stairway..SR...Freebird...Xanadu..Stargazer..and some others that may come to me...good memory

my 82 t shirt perished many moons ago....however it was a medium size and think i would struggle to get half of my torso into it now...i do believe that shirt sizing has changed drastically! 😂

well for most people SR and genesis will be in the same sentence if you asked for highlights. As above I was there in 82 when played it live...in an era of pre internet and setlists being published was a very welcome number and a lasting memory...along with Phil wearing a snorkel and mask!

Phil's emotion in the closing section had always been one of my all time favourites

Not many bands that do not play live in whole or part , one of their iconic songs . Have always thought that the old medley could have easily started/ended with the bookends to SR...but clearly the band do not feel the same way

just listening to the Kate bush feature on Guy Garvey...really good listen to an album masterpiece

Mr Hackett sounded on good form and the extended interview is to be broadcast at a later date....good to hear Horizons and Spectral Mornings on the radio!

one of those group decisions about releasing recordings that are squirrelled away. All artists different..go on spotify and see the number of live recordings on their from Yes...

Always thought about the 1976 'in concert ' movie....there has to have been recordings done of the full shows which have never seemed to have made the light of day...which is such a shame
