Shiny (happy people) weather.

At least government really seems to remove the last covidiotic rules soon so maybe a tour could be possible in the nearer future. And more artists like Eric could help going back to normal. Sadly, only few have the balls.

I love all the sound board recordings. Not sure where I downloaded them but these were almost complete as far as I remember.
-
Among these never seen before images we will probably find a zappaesque foldout poster depicting the three guys sitting on a toilet doing their work. Preordered!

02 still sending me emails about upgrading my tickets, as well as other artists..so looking like they are expecting the go ahead.
Well, they only want to collect money because they are running out of it. So you cannot expect anything but having transferred money to another person or company.
Yes I've heard similar things. The place I work will mandate it once it's approved I believe. Seems like the only way some people will take it.
It will only work if people are so stupid as to accept such rules. I had my third dose but I would never ever want anybody else to do something they just do not want to do.

Reading about this possible collapse of the Atlantic Meridional current whilst a pandemic rages on has me feeling a little of the old existential dread, and fearing for the world I'm gifting my kids.
Mother earth already got rid of the pandemic called human being several times. Anyway, one does not need to be afraid because we all must die. And do not whine because having (to many) children is the main problem. If not so many people were so selfish to starting an own family, we all had more space to breathe on our small ship. And therefore I also would not call the world a gift anymore today. Sadly, I know many selfish parents who seem to ignore their children's future and are bad parents with the prospect of obvious problems coming.
Quote from a random mother or fatherBut who cares?! Now I have a sweet little child. Now I am happy. So do not dare to tell me about the future and get vaccinated because that is the only problem I can see. I, I, I, Me, Me, Me, My, My, My.

… Still no statement from the band. Or did we miss something?
Patience you must have young padawan!
But does this really surprise you? I mean, Genesis' online presence is rather a joke than anything else. So I think you get their "news" via fax machine. Mail or Web is just way too new technology, isn't it.

Tickets remain valid for new dates but no tickets have been sent out physically - only Dublin.
-
My wife and my girlfriend and a third dose.
-
refund went through for the Dublin show
Did you actively initiate the refund online?
And does "went through" mean you already got money back?
-
That’s really cool. How wild would it be to have the complete set of tapes for all their concerts?
They will all be released after they are all dead. Just like it is with David Bowie.
-
The band's social media account are a joke. The responsible people do not know what they do. Anyway, all shows will not be possible. Trust me. Travel restrictions would result in a wave of refunds. Sad but true.

I have got information from NHS that you need a Covid Pass that is only available if you are a resident of England. So, foreigners will not be able to use the App because additionally you must be registered (GP) in England. Apart from also being forced to do a test on day 2 (vacced or not) you have the risk of being quarantined for at least 10 days which costs about 2.000 GBP for that corona managed hotel.
If you survive that you still need that App to access TheO2 and others (information from today).
But we all know things change on a daily basis and I'd rather get my money back as soon as possible.
Anyway, full blown concerts are still not to be seen in Scotland but that may also change.
Hopefully, as money can buy everything, the Genesis management is loaded enough to buy us a "freedom month" without any restrictions... The times they are a-changin'.
-
Do we need a vac(cin)ation thread? If so, call it like so.
-
Just like Elton John rescheduled dates to 2023 (!) today (and only 5 weeks before tour start) Genesis will cancel or reschedule, too. Patience!
-
That's a tough decision because it is like choosing between the plague and cholera. Waiting for the third disease release.
-
The target group for this release are surely not graphic designers because they know how to cast shadows correctly.
-
Sounds like the Dublin shows will be cancelled/postponed and the tour will start in Belfast
But Belfast would be September 18th, what I still do not believe in... yet.
-
Pretty interesting release. I have a feeling some of these songs will be performed on the tour.
Well, that is what they said in the release notes:
[...] with the majority of tracks to be performed on the tour [...]
I am wondering if I Can't Dance has ever been played back to back to Dancing with the Moonlit Knight?!
At least the topic is dance.
-
What songs would qualify as dated? Like sonically? Subject matter wise?
Well, every single Genesis song written before the year 2000 qualifies as dated. But isn't that the exact reason to go to a Genesis concert? To see and hear and enjoy all the nostalgia. Personally, I do not need any modernization in how they present the songs since they are not touring every year so I would need any refreshments. I would not even mind if they play the same setlist as in 2007.
Only change accepted would be In Too Deep for Hold On My Heart.
Another big question is:
Does any tour make any sense anymore, now that ZZ Top lost Dusty Hill?
So, we reached end of time while I've been waitin' for the bus.
