In that Genesis When In Rome DVD Collins mention a project of recording The Lamb Live and the project is still in discusion, but Collins have retired from the music scene last year. Would be fantastic....But I remain skeptical. Guess they will make one appearence to be taped for DVD...

It's possible toņo...I saw his performance on drums in the last tour (not a proggy one), but his playing remains great...Again, they mentioned a performance of the whole lamb album, great idea...Hope it comes true soon..

I have the WOMAD LP.  Haven't heard it in years as I don't have the ability to play LPs anymore.

And by the way, if I were in Rome, I'd seek out some good Italian prog rather than see the three old farts doing a reunion. Tongue

I Saw Genesis in Amsterdam....I waited for this day for 15 long years. I thought it was really fantastic.......but yes..some songs were played slower....and it didn't have much of the power that previous tours had. But it was as good as it could get I guess.
 
I am indeed also waiting for a reunion of all 5 members.....I think it would be nothing short of amazing just to see how it works out. But I dont expect to see the same glory / and shere of legend that it had baack in the 70's. The guys grew older and changed alot over the years.........They simply do not have the energy anymore to play the songs the way they did so back in the old days. I think in one way because they all got better....and in the other way cos they got simply got older.
 
Peter and Steve are perfectly fine with playing old stuff (Gabriel even seriously concidered to add Suppers Ready to the setlist of his last tour) and Gabriel is still playing quite a few Genesis songs on his tours (only check out whats passing bye on all his Archive cd's). I however think that the other 3 are not really interested cos it will lead them out of the spotlights and diverse them back to the 2 that were once the real stars of the band.
 
Besides I wonder if Steve will ever forgive Tony for call Daryl a better player stan Steve only because he can play so fast.....rediculous.......

Sooner or later it will happen, then all negativists ought to be refused to attend to any concerts.

No comments about that Rome quote...Confused...I respect all of these "FARTS" whatever  they decided to do with their music and those were, pardon, still are great musicians....I love every era of Genesis (still hate Abacab Angry) but all in all they're great....ClapClapClap.

And by the way, I do prefer Gabriel era of course....Big smile

I'd totally starve for a month to see this - with or without Hackett, but with is obviously better.

Even if they don't focus on The Lamb and earlier albums, just the prospect of seeing Gabriel with them makes me shiver in anticipation.  If they DID focus on their prog stuff with a fully formed band, I'll start believing in ALL religions*. Wink

*Not that I'm even close to being an atheist now, though.

Ditto to that NS. Like most prog fans, I either am or used to be a Genesis fan, and even though i don't listen to anything of theirs anymore, a full reunion would be something really quite special.

Hi,
 
I believe Steve Hackett has stated that he would go if Peter Gabriel also goes ...
 
Dream on ... sometimes the life of a pop star and ego maniacs ... is a real drag.
 
Thx

Ha! I never read that! Pure stupidity though, Daryl's playing is competant but very normal, Steve Hackett is (at least to myself) on a higher pantheon of guitar gods!

The big thing here that no-one seems to have bought up is that even if this did go ahead, could mere mortals like ourselves afford a ticket? LOL

Hi,

Got to admit ....  if they bring Hackett and then Gabriel ... will they actually consider Anthony Phillips?
 
He deserves it too! ... folks should give a listen  (and acquire) to The Geese and the Ghost ....

Amen to that.....The Geese And The Ghost...is indeed a album of great quallity.....And Wise After The Event Too.......and what a remaster...anyone fan of Genesis should indeed give this a firm try.
 
Its indeed interesting...why Anthony not...I think because he himself left...because he suffered from stage fear....so I think that playing in front of a large venue will not work for him, or perhaps they asume that....Don't know but its an interesting question......its a great guitarist......and it is the man behind Trespass and as I recently read..The Musical Box, which was already written mostly, before Hackett even joined, although it is not Hackett roaring guitarwork that makes this song mainly so amazing.

I don't think it'll happen.

But even if it did.....quite honestly....i don't think Peter still holds  his charisma from his Genesis days.It would be very strange to see he dressed as  a flower today.Then again,it would be even stranger NOT to see him in his old costumes.As for Hackett,I'd bet he's still great.See classic Genesis again would surely be worth the ticket's price,but I think,today,I'd be more fond to see the Trick and Wind Genesis.

Exactly.  Smile
 

Collins is a damn good drummer and there he should have remained.He is monotoned and quite simply boring as a singer.His voice cannot change and is weak.Genesis died after Wind and Wuthering with the truly awful ' And then there were three'  thereafter good ol' Phil took them down the road to pop dom.

Genesis with Gabriel were icons of the Progressive halcyon age.As I have said on here years ago Collins is a little arse who had a different dream of where he was going. What a pity such talented musicians as Banks and Rutheford wanted to join in.

Peter if you ever read sites like this stay clear of these three clowns who turned their backs on the music that made them.Quality is what matters,whether younger Genesis fans prefer the drivel that followed merely tellls me their knowledge of prog is zero.
