I’d love to own a full show from the 1982 Encore Tour. At least they’re available on YouTube.

I’m still torn over how to interpret Steve’s choice of tours. Does he keep doing Genesis-related tours as a genuine tribute to the classic era or is this mainly about Steve knowing that’s where the money is (or may both?)

Quote from Dr. John

I thought I would do a tally of the songs from the setlist to see how the Genesis catalogue was represented:

FGTR - 0 songs

Trespass- 1 song: Stagnation (snippet in IKWIL jam section)

Nursery Cryme - 0 songs

Foxtrot - 0 songs

SEBTP - 4 songs: DWTMK (snippet), IKWIL, Firth of Fifth (instrumental only), The Cinema Show (part of instrumental)

TLDDOB - 3 songs: TLDDOB (first two verses), The Carpet Crawlers (minus intro), Riding the Scree (snippet in The Cinema Show)

ATOTT - 0 songs

W&W - 2 songs: Eleventh Earl of Mar/In That Quiet Earth (snippet linking The Cinema Show to Afterglow), Afterglow

ATTWT - 1 song: Follow You, Follow Me

Duke - 5 songs: Behind the Lines (portion of intro), Duchess, Misunderstanding (once), Turn It On Again, Duke's End

Abacab - 0 songs

Genesis - 4 songs: Mama, That's All, Home By the Sea, 2nd Home By the Sea

IT - 5 songs: Invisible Touch, Tonight, Tonight, Tonight (short version), Land of Confusion, Domino, Throwing It All Away

WCD - 3 songs: No Son of Mine, I Can't Dance, Fading Lights (2 verses)

CAS - 0 songs

The surprise for me was the realization that there was nothing from ATOTT. I wonder if this is perhaps the only tour (with Phil) where this happened. The 2007 tour had both Ripples and Los Endos. The WCD tour had a couple of verses of Dance On a Volcano. Every tour before that had at least Los Endos I think.

Just an aside: the When in Rome concert vid was broadcast on Maryland Public Television last Friday night. When they went back to the studio for the “Time to raise money for public television” break they scrolled the setlist for When in Rome (pitching “Contribute $20 per month and get the concert vid”) and I was pleasantly surprised to note they included Stagnation as having been in the set. Someone at public television really knows their Genesis!

For Invisible Touch (admittedly my least favorite Genesis album):

Side One:

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight

Invisible Touch

Land of Confusion

The Brazilian

Side Two:

Feeding the Fire

Domino I & II

Throwing It All Away

Do the Neurotic

Quote from thewatcher

I'm halfway between your take and Liquid Len's. Sides 1&2 are amazing. I like a lot about 3, particularly Anyway and Lamia, but also Lily-white Lilith. For me, it runs out of gas at Silent Sorrow. Was never gone on Slippermen, and it just seems to lose some of the energy and creativity after that. Is there any truth that Silent Sorrow was an interlude to facilitate costume changes?

Anyway the material from Silent Sorrow onward is what drops the album down a little for me. It's still great, and the effect is not as dramatic as the effect BoEF has on SEBTP.

I always wondered if Silent Sorrow was a product of the "Enosiffication" mentioned in the liner notes until Tony Banks shot down that notion in an interview several years ago. I may be in the minority in that I find sides 3 and 4 of the Lamb to be just about as interesting and enjoyable as sides 1 and 2 (except for The Waiting Room, which I admit I only really "got" way back in the day when I occasionally ingested certain substances that caused the walls to shift and change colors). Lily White Lilith, Anyway, The Lamia, The Colony, The Light, Riding the Scree and In the Rapids are all favorites of mine.

I have not had a chance to watch the full thing yet, but about a week ago someone posted this video of a full Mirrors Tour concert on Youtube.

Que' Sirhan Sirhan - Didjits

Good Day in Hell - Eagles

Ashes are Burning - Renaissance

Music for Films: Brian Eno

Orange Blossom Special - Southern Raised

Quote from DecomposingMan

The sounds are actually horn noises from the EWF guys, sped up.

Interesting. What about during the outro section of Man on the Corner? That too features odd weird noises in the background.

Selling England by THE Pound - Genesis

Carpet of the Sun - Renaissance

When in Rome is being shown tonight at 9:30 on PBS in Maryland. Not sure if it’s airing nationally or not.

Shadow of Your Smile - Andy Williams

Over It - Summer Walker

A full concert video of the Mirrors Tour!

If only they were playing in Philly Saturday night. Having seen them in DC and having loved it start to finish I'd gladly drive up from Maryland for a Saturday show.

I Can't Tell You Why - Eagles
