Interesting bit of info from Mike's BBC interview yesterday, was that the Acoustic Medley was his idea and Tony & Phil were not keen on it originally.
He also said he will be doing the same thing on the Mechanics tour with other Genesis songs.

all 5 discs feel so random, it's a shame they didn't release 5 complete shows really, but something is better than nothing.
Unless I missed it, is Chester (photo) in the book at all?

Saw the vinyl set in HMV today, think it was £65 compared to Amazon at £51
-
Plus they had to tune their instruments in between songs as well.
Not like 2022 when they had people doing it for them during the show and just swapping them over.

I'll buy only if its available to download.

Genesis topped the Forbes list of the highest-paid entertainers of 2022 on the strength of their farewell trek, “The Last Domino? Tour,” while Taylor Swift, the only female entertainer in the top 10, had a massive year even without even hitting the road.
Forbes estimates that Genesis earned $230 million last year, both from the farewell tour and individual income streams like royalties from Phil Collins’ solo banger, “In the Air Tonight.” Sting came in second place with $210 million, powered largely by the sale of his catalog to Universal Music Group.

Genesis also sold their catalog as well but not mentioned, so did they actually make even more?

I really like Say its alright Joe, until it gets to the instrumental part when it seems Tony reverts back to an 8yr old with a new keyboard hitting the sound affect buttons thinking it's cool.

To the OP
The Answer is in the band name.......
At the beginning

Not only that but having conjured them up he then immediately demanded they all be sacked! 🤨😆
Must belong to the Tory Cabinet

I was like only the 3rd viewer when it came out lol

Why does Amazon have the wrong dates against songs.
Mama and Domino 1980 for example
-
Will the full CD be available to download do you think?
I barely use Cds anymore as all my music on on my phone
-
It's okay but nothing groundbreaking or worth that length of time between albums imo.
Feels very early 80s, will be interesting to hear the whole album.

Merry Christmas to All

Was a great watch for sure.
More is always welcome, this was great.
In the interview I thought he was going to ask about what they would do next but I think Mike took that away from Phil so we never got Phils thoughts perhaps back.then.
It's a shame they never did one more album.
-
Tonight an hour half rehearsal footage and interview was released.... Its brilliant!
-
As long as they spell Colour correctly and put the dates the right way round, it's all good.
-
Phils going back recording for ITV in 2010 & O2 March Genesis Concert
-
Well that's a point, they could go full Abba and virtually reunite the 5-man lineup for a digi-tour.
How about it choccy - can that go on your fantasy wishlist?
Maybe they can throw in Take A Chance On Me or a mashup - Dancing Queen With The Moonlit Knight?
Fantasies are only limited by a lack of imagination

Before I get shot down.... this is purely hypothetical only.
But given everyone in the band is fit and well and they have a great drummer in Nic, who has shown how good he is and eager to perform the older and longer pieces, I wondered if maybe in a few years time, whether Tony, Mike and Nic (with Darryl) would consider simply doing a small tour playing smaller theatres playing only instrumental version of their songs which would allow for more longer pieces to be played again and give Tony maybe his moment to really shine etc
Phil had said many years ago about the 4 piece band doing just this after Peter left and now they no longer have a healthy singer, it would be a way to keep the band alive in a way fans would accept?
Would this be something people would like should it be possible?
