Sooooo now we know, as much as we can know anything, that Phil will no longer be part of Genesis after 2021.

This could leave things open for Peter and Steve to join Mike and Tony with Nick on drums as a reincarnation of the pre-Trick Of The Tail, pre-Phil frontman Genesis.

Pete & Tony and Steve & ?? tensions could be overcome, could they not? Mike could be persuaded to learn some of the old stuff he’s forgotten. Tony’s mellowed, apparently, so he wouldn’t be too averse to playing chunks of the ‘Lamb’.

I can dream, can’t I?

Quote from Wayne

Just managed to buy two tickets 30 mins ago to see tonight’s show as well - can’t wait. Same seating area as well on my way to the Leeds Arena now

Nice one ☝️

My wife got me a ticket for Fleetwood Mac, who I’d never been a big fan of, for my 60th birthday. 15 rows back dead centre. Excellent!

Yes, I’ve been lucky enough to see Springsteen on the opening night of this arena.

Quote from Squigelyfox

Leeds Arena has a great layout. None of those sitting sideways seats, more of a big gentle curve.

First Direct just shy of 14k, Utilita 16k, AO 21k.
Almost a club gig tonight, then

Boy, did it rain that day! I had bin bags inside my wellies and as the day wore on we got very cold.

We left York just as it started and it didn’t stop until ‘Supper’s Ready’ (if my memory serves).

I have a recording of ‘Six Of The Best’ but don’t listen to it much at all these days. I’m just glad I was there to see the band with Gabriel that one time.

I liked John Martyn so that was a plus and wish I’d not dismissed Talk Talk whose music I’ve grown to love over the years.

The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

An unashamed child of the seventies, I just can’t warm to the ‘poppier’ material and confess to losing interest after the ‘Genesis’ album. I enjoyed Phil’s early solo material but my musical tastes went in a different direction in the mid-eighties.
