I have been following this rumor for the past 2 months or so, it seems it may be true as an announcement is due out tomorrow from the BBC Radio 2 morning show. Read more about it here, and of course no Peter Gabriel or Steve Hackett to join the reunion, regardless I'm in if they come to the US. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/genesis-reunion-report/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=newsletter_4572276" rel="nofollow - https://ultimateclassicrock.com/genesis-reunion-report/?utm_source=sailthru&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=newsletter_4572276 -------------

I should probably make the effort, but I'll see how much the tickets are. The last time they played in the UK (2007) the tickets were far too expensive to justify going to watch them play mostly post Duke material. ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Just another tour, possibly followed by another live CD/DVD? Meh... But if they record a new studio album? Now that would be interesting! Of course, we cannot expect a return to Selling England by the Pound, but perhaps a return to the sound and approach of And Then There Were Three and Duke? Perhaps with a guest appearance by Hackett?  |

It looks like it's only in the UK so far and it's being called "The Last Domino?" tour. Phil's son Nic is on the drums. No mention of Chester Thompson, so the dual drums will be absent. I certainly won't be flying to the UK to see this, but if videos that show up on YouTube are good, I might consider a DVD if they release one. Otherwise, I agree that a studio album would have been more interesting. ------------- ---------- i'm shopping for a new oil-cured sinus bag that's a happy bag of lettuce this car smells like cartilage nothing beats a good video about fractions |

| it's a testament to how close they are as friends which is so unusual with these old super bands who more than likely can't stand to be in the same room together (Yes). Having said that, if you have seen any of the Phil Collins shows this past year--its disturbing to see him and the shape he's in. And its one thing to be an old man in ill health and sing Against all odds but how you going to do the end of Musical Box or even Mama? |

I’d love to see this...but am certainly not crossing an ocean to go. Personally I’m fairly positive about Collins Jr. on drums. Anybody who has heard him on the Sound Of Contact debut will know that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree. He genuinely sounds like his father in that tight n sloppy way that one usually has to trawl through old 60s and 70s albums to hear. I imagine he will fit in Genesis perfectly. I hope daddy-o gets his mojo back. The recent pictures I’ve seen of him do not look good...sorta like Captain Picard’s long lost brother..with a massive hangover. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Well I feel ya, but if this truly is The Last Domino, I would go. Now I very much doubt I'm gonna jump on a plane and cross the pond. Based on these UK dates, I suspect a US tour would kinda be the same so I might have to fly to say LA to see them. A tour makes total sense from a money point, a new album would be great for sure, but new albums don't make a lot of money where they can cash in huge on a blockbuster tour. -------------

| Phil's first Not Dead Yet tour was UK only at first, then he went elsewhere after it was successful. I'd expect the same to happen here. Genesis are the only band I'd ever consider crossing the pond to see, so if we're nearing the end of the tour and there's no indication of them coming stateside, then I might crack and break the bank to travel. |

I am sort of torn about this. I absolutely love Genesis, and those who know me, and have read my reviews, will know that I found a huge amount to enjoy in the three man band. I have seen them live on a few occasions, including the Milton Keynes gig with Gabriel. I would really like to see Hackett do his stuff live, but I don’t. The reason? Simply because I really do not like Nad Sylvan’s vocals. Genesis were a quintessential English band, and listening to Sylvan in his Swedish voice simply grates with me, I am afraid. Also, I want to know what format the three man tour will take. I thought the 2007 tour was marvellous, a huge celebration of a fantastic band, with Phil on top form. Looking at him now, though, by God he looks old, and sounds it too. I absolutely do not want to see an acoustic effort. Part of the thrill of old was the dual drumming with Chester, and we won’t have that now. Can Phil really do a full rock gig? ------------- Enhance your life.

Lazy we are so in sync with Hackett, he comes to Seattle every tour and I really want to go everytime but yes the Nad vocals are polarizing to me also. I've tried to watch the youtube stuff but alas, can't get into it. Eventually I may go........ The Genesis lineup will include Phil's son Nic on drums and Daryl Stuermer......Can Phil do a full rock gig?? His solo tour recently he was sitting most of the time....Maybe Phil has been doing PT to help with his nerve damage. -------------

Totally agree with this. I live too far away from any place Genesis ever dreamed of visiting on tour, so it's impossible they would do it now, but I'd rather see Nad Sylvan's antics than poor Phil Collins pathetic attempt on hiding his deteriorated voice. And no Daryl Stuermer will ever compensate for not having Steve Hackett on a reunion, even if he played on Genesis for a longer time than Steve.

Steve Hackett has been keeping the Genesis flame alight for years now..... That's the Genesis I love - but if the 80s pop of Phil, Tony and Mike do it for you, good luck to you. The tickets will sell out quick enough without needing me. I don't have a problem with Nad Sylvan's vocals - they capture a Gabriel/Collins mixed vibe, but are sufficiently individual not to become a direct copy of the classic era. Steve's current touring band are one of the tightest outfits I've ever seen, and Craig Blundell on drums has been a revelation. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

I actually enjoy Nad's renditions of early Genesis when he tours with Hackett. I don't find his 'Swedish-ness' to interfere at all with his interpretations of Gabriel. (I will, however, acknowledge that Nad does not quite nail the early Phil-era vocals as well as he nails the Gabriel vox.) That said, bear in mind that Nad primarily only sings the Genesis stuff at Hackett's shows. Hackett mostly sings his solo material live -- many times Nad is not even onstage when the band is performing Hackett solo tunes. His touring band is absolutely fantastic. In addition to the regulars, Hackett also moves people in & out of his touring band based on availability but the quality of musicians is never compromised. As an example, a couple tours ago, Roine Stolt was his touring bassist....got to see 'Supper's Ready' in its entirety for the first time on that tour. Fact is, I'd still go see Hackett at every opportunity even if he weren't doing any Genesis tunes at all. The quality of his solo work has only gotten better over the years, IMHO.

I attended a couple of (Hackett) Genesis Revisited concerts, own some live recordings too and I can positively say that Nad Sylvan is doing a tremedous job singing those early Genesis songs. To dislike his voice is one thing but saying that he is not a good fit and that he don't sound English enough for this material is nothing less than xenophobic garbage.
Unashamed bigotry indeed. ------------- |

This is what I put on the other (less populated) thread on this subject ''I think i'd rather see Steve Hackett again. Or see 'The Musical Box'. Or stay at home and just play the lps. But there is a little bit of me that looked at the dates... Hmm, Birmingham is on a Saturday! We could do that! Will I regret it if I don't get a ticket?? But then I go 'No, I think im happy with memories and the albums.'' I last saw Genesis in 1982 on the ABACAB tour and whilst I enjoyed it, Phil Collins constant references to 'this is the last time we're playing this old sh*t' whenever they played a PG era track really put me off seeing them again.. particularly in light of the slightly fawning re-evaluation of 'the old sh*t' by the band later on when they realized that the constant trickle of royalties from those lps constituted a good part of their income as they got older.. and it has been Steve Hackett who has consistently flown the flag in regards playing that material live and doing it justice.. and of course 'The Musical Box' who have done their absolute best to re-create that music in its era. ------------- |

This response is aimed at the general forum, and not the keyboard warrior, Mr Barbu. I have made a complaint in the Collab Zone about Barbu’s behaviour and accusations against me, which are frankly ridiculous and unacceptable. I am many things, but xenophobic and/or racist is not one of them. It is up to the administrators of the site how they deal with the complaint I have made. However, after posting this, I will log out from the forum and will not participate in any further discussions here. Frankly, it is becoming like the majority of social media platforms, namely unpleasant and somewhat pointless in some people’s petty obsessions and use of such forums too make up for their personal and social inadequacies. ------------- Enhance your life.

I can understand why people might not like his voice but I don't have a problem with it, I think it fits the music well and I don't think he particularly has a "Swedish" voice (unlike Roine Stolt for instance).

It is very difficult to get me to see a major concert, or even a minor one due to my extreme dislike for city traffic and parking, as well as the exorbitant price of tickets these days. Also, the big shows require planning months in advance and I do not like to think that far ahead for a show. I saw Hackett a few years ago in Seattle doing a Genesis Revisited tour and it was awesome seeing those tunes played live. A Genesis reunion tour catches my interest, and if they hit the states there is a good chance they would come to my corner of the country. Of course, there is an even better chance they would do an east coast tour with only one west coast appearance in L.A. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

Nic is the drummer and Simon is the singer and actually Genesis should take both because Simon could help with the vocals-- Phils voice is tough to listen to at times---But Steve is doing an amazing job of keeping the great Genesis music alive and you will most certainly get your money's worth---his concerts are amazing...all top notch musicians respecting the music ---(unlike Yes).

Hi, I might need a couch to sleep on if they make it to Seattle ... I'm gonna guess they will only do the major cities ... and that would mean Seattle is in! In the West Coast it would be LA, SF and Seattle ... Portland is a crap music town by comparison! Even though they have a great band ... GRAILS .... on their dockets ... but I'm not sure I have seen a show in Portland ... and I don't want to bet that only 12 people will show up for the night! I'm guessing that Steve Hackett is booked so far ahead that anything with GENESIS is probably impossible, but really, without Steve Hackett, I'm not sure it will be that great ... just another memory lain down the road and a million in your pocket! PG ... well, no surprise there, he is not that great anymore, and he has no "shtick" to make himself more valuable and important than the band ... so he won't show up ... I really wish he would swallow up his pride and come to the show and put in a nice set ... if not for the band, it would be one of the greatest treats of all for the fans, almost all of whom, never got to see PG with them, when it mattered and counted ... but I really think that a lot of it has to do with his fellow members not appreciating a lot of TLLDOB and he would want to do several bits from it, I'm sure ... it's his best work ever ... and the single stuff after, is not half as good!

First they need to announce a US Tour, which I suspect will only happen upon Phil feeling like he can after this UK tour. I will be shocked if they come to Seattle. Clearly the east coast is easy but then have to travel 3000 miles to west coast, we'll see. Portland gets the same shows Seattle does on the prog scene of late, I know most that come here do hit Portland also. Haken, Riverside, Pineapple Thief, SWilson, DT all make PDX a stop.....for sure we don't get all the shows though like say LA or NY gets. We all want to see that lineup and it is still a chance as long as they are all still working and living, but relationships and business reasons might not let it happen. It seems PG is super hard to get time with to even discuss such a tour, he's either very busy or not interested. Hackett to me simply does not want to do it..... We can still dream though. -------------

Hi, Probably not anymore ... many of these got to stay with Paul Allen and have the benefits of the high life (specially Roger Waters), but in the end, now they will have to pay for this and that ... and not bother stopping here ... the thing is, the airport here is a far better location for a stop than Seattle ... but the issue might be lugging all the equipment around ... and the usual ... GENESIS ... "it's a family tour"!

I'm going to see Hackett in November. That'll do for me. I've only seen him once before and that was all too briefly at a festival where the organisors decided that because they were running over they would cut his set, and not the likes of Wishbone Ash, who I would have thought were less of a draw on the Prog Stage, and to be frank were..  zzzzzDoes anyone have any clear footage of Nic Collins drumming? I can find low quality clips of him playing on his dads recent tour, but nothing where he is playing more complex stuff. I don't want to be prejudiced, but the best drummers I've known could not do Genesis songs justice at 18, not in the way Phil and/or Chester could. I do appreciate Nic has had a good teacher!  ------------- Ultimately bored by endless ecstasy! |

Agree, not sure why Chester is not part of the tour, hoping Nic can pull it off . On the big stage like that playing some complex material, I have a feeling he will do fine. The recent interview with Genesis on the tour Phil did mention he was planning on doing some drumming, hope he has received some good PT for his nerve damage.

Hi, For people that never got to see PF and The Wall, he is magnificent ... for us old timers that saw the original way back when ... it is a completely whole other story and I was not happy with Roger's redo of The Wall, and the thing that I missed the most? ... the stuff that no one remembers .... the quad sound going around the crowd ... you could hear the steps of the girl going across the room and even say ... look at those guitars ... which started almost in the back and echoed to the front! On Roger's show it was that digital bullpucky and it only went from stage left to right ... and both you and I ... honestly? I feel cheated! The one thing that made PF the best in terms of a show, was basically taken out!! But GENESIS, by the time I got into them, it was during SEBTP when it came out and then TLLDOB ... and in that year I got all their early stuff and Anthony Phillips stuff ... and AP has been much more important to me than either GENESIS or PG ... and way more creative for my tastes!

The whole virus thing is more serious than it is thought, and hopefully it won't cause major problems, but hoping to see a band, for the rest of this year? ... I have my doubts even though many are already rescheduling things.

Saw the Last Domino? show in Chicago. This was terrific closure to a fabulous career (albeit one with a few detours). The show did include much that was 80's pop, but there was also much that was prog. The show started with Duke and included nearly all of Selling England by the Pound. Daryl Stuermer played the Hackett bits from the SEBTP titles with skill, finesse and respect. Though an employee rather than a member of the band, he was truly THE guitarist on stage (no offense intended to Mr. Rutherford, a fantastic musician and composer himself).

Nice, I didn't expect to play so much from the earlier days. Have they ever done so before, since Hackett left? |

| ^ they didn't (at least when I saw them) . Much of the prog stuff was just small excerpts so the statement they played most of SEBTP is stretching it a bit. However I did enjoy the tour debut show in Birmingham (UK) and was very impressed with Nick as I think I posted before. |
