Other day I put on 5 concerts back to back whilst working at home and it's really noticeable at the drop of energy between 1983 Mama Tour to the 2007 Tour when you play them all back to back.

I watched

Mama Tour

Invisible Touch Tour

We Can't Dance Tour

Turn it on Again Tour (Germany)

When in Rome Concert.

The Germany concert was totally flat and I really feel that Phil had no heart in this Tour and it showed.

The Rome concert is a little better, but that's expected if you're in front of 500,000k people.

I think energy wise, some of the Last Domino shows have been better in fact than 2007

Pretty much all restrictions in England ending next week.

So fingers crossed for no more nasty variations until at least April

Have a great few days and stay safe!

Nice try Choccy but I’m not a Habs fan. I actually hate them. 🤙

Good to hear

Quote from The Lamb

We are back in covid restrictions. Bars, clubs, theatres, and cinemas all closed. Was lucky to get that Genesis concert just in the knick of time. If it was this week it would have been cancelled. The music gods were with me.

You were also lucky in avoiding a defeat by the Bruins

Quote from Christian

So, should the European shows happen in March, I will be in Berlin (7th), Hannover (11th) and Cologne (19th)

Fingers crossed.

2 months to sort this variant out.

What a stunning gig.

Glad you got to see finally!

Thoughts now having seen them at last.

The setlist is pretty well rounded. Fading Lights was probably the one where people went to the toilet/bar the most. And the final stretch of IT/ICD/CC is bit flat. Most people around me didn't know CC. In the US, if they added Abacab on after CC it would have been amazing.

I know it's Phil's favourite song and Genesis' biggest single, but IT is one song, I wish they would not perform on a concert.

There are better songs left off and it's probably one of the most dated off them all IMO

I'm wondering IF the London show's are the end, IF Peter Will make an onstage appearance in the encour especially for the last night?

Quote from Grant

Anyone think they will bring in Abacab- maybe for just one or two shows? They have rehearsed it and there is video for it. They did do a couple of performances of Misunderstanding after all. It will be a shame if they don't as it is one of the truly great Genesis tracks and was always great live. I still have some hope...

I think if they haven't done it by now, it won't happen.

I know they wanted to limit instrumental parts because of Phil, so they could have done just the first part, but where would it fit in.

I think Phil is comfortable now, but let's see what Europe brings.

I'd be more interested in a new tour documentary going in depth of the last few months and solid fresh interviews with everyone involved.

You need to edit the lamb cos that's doing my head in lol

Lilly Collins loved the show & Nics drumming from her Instagram post

They may release something later on once tour is over.

Any DVD would be worth having a section just on Nic and his learning the songs etc

Big 2 nights coming up.

Genesis performing at Madision Square Garden for the last time.

That's why they recorded the production pre tour

Given the news today in the media, I really hope Phil can keep focused and away from that evil woman and carry on his great resurgence with Genesis for remainder of the tour.

The new covid strain out of Africa which has reached Europe now is concerning, European Union seems to want to close off borders immediately

The new covid strain out of Africa which has reached Europe now is concerning. Unlike Europe, The Government seem happy to be useless as ever and are not closing the borders fully to prevent it spreading here.

Must have been a Habs game.
