in defence, my comment didn't mean to offend. Mark Riley was a one time member of The Fall...who probably at their time were pretty opposites to Genesis, but he is still a fan and was acknowledging that not all his listeners were old prog fans!...at least he was playing a classic and if you know his show, sarcasm rules
-
in all fairness, he may have said something similar to your comment, was driving at the time so didn't have my full attention!
-
Mark Riley on 6radio also a big fan of early Genesis, despite his left field music tastes...one of the only times have heard Happy the Man on radio,,was on his show.....anyway, last week he played FOF and said how he loved it, although he did give a pre warning for all prog haters to turn away for the next 10 minutes! 🤣
-
indeed. He even kept the same shirt for the 80 tour !
-
watched the old grey whistle test version last night on YT...is now a enhanced version, rather than the old grainy one. Band certainty having fun and great to see Phil drumming so well
-
remember hearing this track way back when bought the Product album, along with Dont make waves, my fav numbers. Remember seeing it on Phil's solo tour and loving, it although clearly most people around me had never heard it before! 😆
-
agree with many of the previous comments about how these shows have been issued. Think most fans would prefer to hear the full show, even if this means a few duplicate numbers and the odd bum note. Afterall most of us have had these shows for numerous years and can be found on YT anyway...does seem like a possible missed opportunity

Display MoreOn new box set:
'
Album with most tracks; Duke: 5.
Album with least tracks; Abacab: 0.
There is not one track from Abacab!
So pretty similar to last tour! ...shame as Abacab is still one of my fav albums, but band seem to want to overlook it
-
didn't the release say that TB was curating this?..so maybe final choice was down to him.
Trying to figure out why recordings of shows split over different discs and not just as full individual shows, and only a few numbers from Knebworth 78
-
well the Arabs and the Jews subject is sadly not out of date. So it would only be a partial lobbying then …
Seasons greetings to all. Yes i thought about the lyrics to this one, as watching the queen on xmas day has been part of my life for over 50 years. Maybe when Steve plays it again, he can change the lyrics to King....
and today is dark and grey here, and no doubt raining at Lords, so somethings never change 😄

with regards the Concord deal, some more info in this article...
-
don't think this is the official release..several other versions out there already for the radio recordings
-
guessing would have to say Hammersmith 82, can still remember certain parts of the show, and was a great experience as a 15 year old. Only with hindsight that this was probably their strongest live period (early 80s ) in my humble opinion.....Phil wearing a snorkel for Whodunnit makes me smile and of course hearing SR, but also some great other songs and a balanced set list, with a great closing/encore set of Lamb, Watcher and IKWIL
also EC in 92 was great as had some great seats up front, and boys on fine form...
, Steve back in the day on several solo tours in the early 80's when he focused on his own solo stuff and had a good tight band...Ian Moseley on drums included

Although I was already aware of the Genesis world as a callow schoolboy, via Solsbury Hill in February '77 and of course Follow You Follow Me, I can truly trace my fandom back to teatime on Friday 31 March 1978 and hearing this track for the first time. It's an old hackneyed trope to say "life-changing", yet maybe in this instance it's also true.
Wow great recollection of when you heard it!...can you remember what you had for tea as well? 😆

Only just managed to book some accommodation. Very little available and what there was, stratospherically expensive - even more so than the PG tix!
indeed...adds up to an expensive evening. at least there wasn't the full deluxe dinner special option with a PG quiz!....got some tickets for Primal Scream for next year, £40 each and 10 minute walk from home, which is much better value for me!

Mostly Autumn last Sunday. A truly great live band. They create such a huge sound. We've going to they gigs for about 20 years now. I just don't get why they remain with only such a minority following.
Saw them many moons ago...tbh, i didn't realise they were still going, will have to take another look

Article on the tour, followed by an amusing top 50 ranking of all solo albums!

It'll presumably be 76 tour stuff you heard, when PC was still not fully confident communicating with the audience so MR and SH did a couple of the intros. I'm not aware TB did any on that tour or ever but it made me wonder the same thing too.
Yes SH introduced Firth and Mike did YOSW and White Mountain..both around 76-78 tours..Tony was no doubt fine tuning the Mellotron!
-
on a slight tangent but in relation to live shows...was listening to a show recently where Mike and Steve introduced songs.. got me thinking if Tony has ever introduced a song or if ever actually spoken at a show! (ignoring backing vocals)?
Can't think of any, but must be sometime...possibly 🤔
