I think if we're playing "odd one out" I may have a shot at this one.
Thanks for the post. I've never seen The Watch, but I am aware of them.
Is their live show a mixture of old songs and their own material?
My itunes is obviously a bit obsessed with borders at the moment.
kate bush - all we ever look for
elo - across the border
suzanne vega - honeymoon suite
temptations - my girl
randy newman - memo to my son
china crisis - african and white
10cc - im mandy fly me
fotheringay - restless
eagles - on the border
al stewart - leave it

Out of interest, is the second Epping Forest a reprise, or a dramatic reworking? Maybe just an acoustic version? Mike and Phil only?
That would work well leading into the emotional Please Dont Ask
I can see they've put a lot of thought into this.
Wot Gorilla will bring the house down before the encore.

Thank you for this. It's given me a proper chuckle this morning 
Hmmm, maybe I will...
It's like a game of chess. "Backdrifter has chosen a song from Selling England. Hmmm. Surely it's going to be one of the big hitters, so maybe Cinema Show? But wait that's too obvious, and so I bet they're go for a less obvious choice, to confuse us. Hang on, but surely they know that as Genesis obsessives we'll go for an obscure choice, so they'll end up picking an obvious choice, as a double bluff"
This is what lockdown does to you
You've forgotten we did non-album, I gave you that after you guessed the right sources (Spot EP and MTM b-sides) but got the wrong tracks.
But yay! You've whittled it down. Just Lamb (you got side 4 right) and ATTWT (it's a side 2 track).
Excellent. You can't buy this sense of satisfaction.
You'll have to move onto solo albums next!
Lamb - it
TRICK - entangled
ATTWT - undertow
abacab - no reply at all
Non album - you might recall
Great effort! I feel for you regarding the non-album stuff as you went to the exact sources - but didn't get the right songs. Dammit! So I'm going to give you those and reveal it was Pigeons and Vancouver. Also partly to shorten the tedium for everyone else not as (bafflingly but pleasingly) committed as you.
Further clues (don't go all Mrs Doyle on me now) - side 1 of Trick, disc 2 of Lamb, stay on side 1 of Abacab.
This is the most fun I've had in months. That's lockdown for you.
I'll be back to fill the gaps...
Right
SEBTP - firth of fifth
Lamb - back in nyc
TRICK - ripples
ATTWT - deep in the motherlode
abacab - abacab, keep it dark
WCD no son - we know...
Non album - inside and out, the day the lights went out
Ive gone route 1 here - no deep cuts, all killer no filler. Except may TDTLWO
Im determined to get some of these. Dont ask me why!
So I feel bad having to tell you that you got them all wrong.
Hahahaha.
Well, I suppose I've made it easier for the next brave quizzer.
But I'm not done with you yet Backdrifter, I'll be back.
Thanks for the review.
It doesn't sound particularly revealing unfortunately, but it shows that they're still taking it seriously at least!
Right. I'm game...
(it's a quiet day...)
SEBTP - more fool me
Lamb - lamia
TRICK - trick of the tail
ATTWT - say its alright joe
abacab - me and sarah jane, dodo
WCD no son - I know this is right!
Non album - on the shoreline, evidence of autumn
At this stage I'd probably be satisfied with 2 hours of "When the Sour Turns to Sweet".
But that's covid/lockdown for you.
I'm prepare to wait and see about the backing singers.
It's not like they're ever had great backing vocals in the Phil era - Mike and Tony are some way from great vocalists!
Which is a shame in a way as a lot of their stuff has lovely layered vocals, so let's see (hopefully...)
Ooh, thank you for that. That could be very interesting .
That might work for singing it, but poor Tony would have the task of relearning that solo in a new key 😳 Not that he hasn't done it before on In The Cage for example, but that could be a heavier lift.
Im no professional musician, but I presume they could transpose his keyboard on the fly, so he could play it in the same key, but it would sound a semitone or two lower
If/when its cancelled I would think they'd be tempted to forget the idea.
But from a purely financial perspective, they've probably sunk a bit of money into it already, so hopefully they'll want to get that back.
Everybody wins
This may sound daft to a lot of people, but I strongly associate Christmas with Genesis, and vice versa. I listen to even more Genesis than usual at this time of year.
"Why", I hear that person at the back ask?
Because my first Genesis gig was December 23rd 1981, at the NEC. I wasn't a massive fan at the time, but I fancied it, after getting into Foxtrot.
I thought I'd better do some revision so I listened to whatever Genesis I had at the time, which was basically just Foxtrot
I also bought Abacab and The Lamb (on the same day) and listened to them constantly in December. They're both now effectively Christmas albums to me...
Anyone else find Genesis festive at this time of year? Was anyone else at the NEC? Do you remember the balloons and Christmas hats we all got?
And they say children grow up fast now. Pah
