Sigur Ros. Everything sung in "Hopelandic".
Much of Gabriel's output. Especially live when he's forgotten the lyrics.

It's no Out Out, is it?
is there some sort of list of all tracks recorded by Genesis members from their earliest recording through Nursery Cryme. I'm looking to build a chronological play list from day one through Trespass and include everything done by the band members both together and separately. I could try to build one but wondered if one were readily available. Thanks.
I don't envy anyone trying to place all of Ant's tracks within that framework, not least given their writing versus recording dates. You may as well try to include Collins's session work at the same time. 😁
A release on the Audio Vaults label, Audio Vaults | Rare & Collectable Music Releases | United Kingdom - this will be an official release, Burning Shed don't do bootlegs. Presumably a result of the Apollo deal. Expect more of these, that £300m isn't going to create itself.
BS have been stocking this type of legal-but-unauthorised release for some time. For which I've been both surprised and a little disappointed. (Though I guess that No-Man back catalogue alone don't pay the bills.) As Christian already suggested, this has absolutely nothing to do with the sale of the back catalogue.
I've recorded it too
I assume everyone knows it's "just" the commonly and long-available commercial release. And that as is the wont of Sky Arts, it will be repeated ad nauseum hereafter.
Will Ralph Bernascone make an appearance? Or will he be on holiday with Peter Cross?
Interesting read, thx
Looks like details about other countries have not been part of the research? Are there plans to do that, also articles about other albums, i.e. Nursery cryme?
I fear for anyone's sanity attempting to uncover all the different release dates in different territories. It gets complicated enough going back only 10 years to uncover where releases appeared first and on what date.
Genesis: London Lyceum Ballroom May 1980 (the BBC filmed one) - the thrill of seeing them up close in such a small venue.
When you say "the BBC filmed one", they filmed - and broadcast parts of - both.
Display MoreDifficult ...
Genesis
I saw them on every tour since 1992.
Probably London 2022 was my favorite. I also liked the band a lot more in 2022 than in 2007.
Gabriel
Montreal 2002 and Brighton 2003 are possibly my favorites. And maybe the first Wolfsburg show in 2012
Collins
The 1998 Big Band show blew me away, What a great performance! Then A Trip Into The Light in Dortmund 1997
Brighton 2003 was excellent, but my favourite shows of his were Hammersmith '83 and 2011 and Earls Court '93 (one of the best tours I've ever witnessed).
Collins's Big Band show left me somewhat cold, though I was expecting that. However, it was great to see him back behind the kit for a full show.
As for Genesis, the 1992 indoor shows were an unexpected marvel. I also really enjoyed the '98 tour (Earls Court excepted).
This month's Prog magazine includes a 2023 calendar of Paul Whitehouse artwork including Genesis and VdGG album covers, though my real reason for getting it is a feature on Days Of Future Passed, the Moodies album, on its 55th anniversary, plus 4 Moodies postcards.
Hackett provides a - brief - contribution to The Moodies piece, as well as turning up elsewhere in the magazine.
Wow great recollection of when you heard it!...can you remember what you had for tea as well? 😆
It's probably recorded in my diary. But the memory is straightforward: heard post-school on day of release.
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.
Would adore this but very, very unlikely.
I'm still hoping the Mechanics play as much Genesis as possible next year and not just I Can't Dance, Throwing it all Away, Land of Confusion and Invisible Touch).
And, as thewatcher mentions above, a Ray and Steve tour would be fantastic.
Am I alone in wanting to see Mechanics material when I go to see M+Ms? In the same way as I no longer go to see Hackett solo, given the amount of solo material he doesn't perform.
The band is not complete : that’s it.
…. Keyboard, back-up singer, another guitarist will be announced soon.
"Another guitarist"? What makes you think that? It's been a while since we've seen a Dickie Evans multi-instrumentalist type-affair as part of the line-up. (Even accounting for the "authentic" B2F set-up.)
Display MoreI'd be surprised if any additional dates were added to the European tour - given the prices, there are a lot of tickets still available.
I doubt a second night at the O2 would sell to an acceptable level for them.
For comparison, I bought 2 excellent tickets for the comedian Peter Kay at the O2 yesterday. Cost £146 for 2 (that's £73 each with those silly extra admin costs). Same thing would have been £400+ for Gabriel.
I genuinely can't get over how ridiculous the prices are. It's a really difficult economic time, and for a man who always places himself on the side of "right", this seems very, very wrong.
And this isn't just the call of the promoter - Gabriel could absolutely have stepped in and made them cheaper.
I hope anyone who has tickets has an excellent time though!
Whilst in no way condoning the Gabriel ticket prices, I really don't think you can compare the cost for one man with a microphone with a full band multi-media visual spectacle.
Wow. For some reason, the comments in this thread remind me of a review (admittedly written by a precocious chancer) 31 years ago which questioned Rutherford's view (as espoused in Way Of The World) that, ecologically, "time is on our side". Wow. Just wow.
I enjoyed this whole album *so* much more than its "companion", Song For A Friend, released just a few months beforehand. I'm still not sure why that should be so. I guess it's akin to when Hackett has released albums the same year, or in quick succession.
Only just managed to book some accommodation. Very little available and what there was, stratospherically expensive - even more so than the PG tix!
That's because Springst**n is playing the same night and had been announced some time before. Isn't "dynamic price" a wondrous modern invention?
Curtains.
It sure is. Anyone remember the recession in the 70's? I believe a lot of gigs were made cheaper then so more could afford them. It's not just PG who is charging a lot though.
I wasn't aware ticket prices were ever lowered [then] but I guess the big difference is that huge numbers of records were still being sold at the time.
