I always wonder how many of the fans who bought albums like IT and WCD and were new to Genesis, are still die hard fans or was just a passing music phase in the 80's?
The setlists seem to be made up of numerous songs from this period, but would the majority of people buying tickets for 2021 prefer a more varied setlist?
Personally I could easily give WCD, HOMH and LOC a miss for something else
as genesis fans, i thought it would have been difficult to avoid listening to music from Marillion due to the various comparisons. Saw Marillion numerous times in early 80's and some great Marquee shows.
Should try the Clutching at Straws album, which imho is one of their best
indeed. Genesis opened the live earth show as they had to be in Manchester in the evening for the old Trafford show
yes seen lloyd a couple of times in recent years. Wasn't sure how it would work playing the songs on his own with no band, but a very entertaining evening
ordinary bloke...some good memories there . I was into similar acts at the time. Love and Money album often forgotten about, but played it to death at the time!...the Blue Nile, i could spend hours on the greatness of the 1st two albums. Hats is a classic
No mention of Lloyd Cole and his commotions?..Rattlesnakes another great album that still gets a lot of airplay here 😄
don't think the bookies are offering any odds of a Floyd reunion along with a Genesis reunion....especially on the same bill! ..although if did then could also add Against all Odds to the setlist
Not so much edwyn solo stuff, but certainly some early Orange Juice which is a great sound and he has a great voice
well a great classic Prog album , but cinema show would get my vote. Probably in my top 3 of all Genesis numbers
HOL is possibly in my top 3 albums. Love side 2 which i find is achingly beautiful. It has all been said about her creativity and musical writing. ..
Regarding RS...i recently saw they had marvin gaye as best album of all time...'whats going on 'is a good one, but best ever? 🤔
I think all songs contain the word 'cause in the lyrics
But this may also appear in other songs as well?
Very interesting thought on Los endos - that would be a powerful way to finish.
For me it would be a great finish as los endos, for me, is one of their most powerful live tracks with lights etc .However, if Phil can't drum, then he would be a bit of a spare part, so can't see this happening, but hope i am proved wrong!
thank goodness for that! I have no question over his huge influence on music, just his vocal has never got me enthralled although needless to say some tracks are classics.
Some journalists start salivating at his mention, so maybe i just missed something along the way
If i whisper it, and none of my muso friends around....then never owned a Bowie album there said it and now suffer the damnation of every music journalist!
on the unfortunate grounds that Phil may not be able to move across stage, then maybe WCD might miss the cut...cant say that i would miss it too much!
maybe a nod to white mountain or another track from trespass in a medley...but can't see much beyond that. Think Phil and Tony are pretty stubborn on what will and won't play, and probably some comprises along the way
not heard of either and can't remember reading about in Phils book
If was coastliner...then this is on an album, so wouldn't seem to fit what was said 🤔
came across this on YT..apologies if already been posted. A good effort by these guys, with the perfect setlist 😄😄
Indeed..the footage from the Hammersmith shows are great. Some lucky fans on that tour...missed it myself but one of those things
interesting pov...i don't think anyone would judge you on how many times have seen an artist , as could be lots of reasons for this, although i know some die hards see it as a badge of honour
As for the eagles...as i said earlier,.music is a personal choice and you do whatever you feel comfortable with
was only saying GUP and Pw 'later ' albums, as a lot of 70's rush fans seemed to have switched off after signals. Along with counterparts i think they are very strong, and show that like another certain band, they weren't afraid to change and experiment
