Now I know why the term "been there done that" was invented.  LOL

Believe it or not I'm still in the process of rebuying Genesis cds. I have about maybe half of them. I just need a few of the later ones(everything in between abacab and calling all stations)and all the live albums except "the way we walk volume one the shorts" and I'll be up to speed. Also, need the box sets.

See, Gabriel and Collins were better singers than you thought.

Oh yeah, that was quite good. Here's the virtuoso playing it live in Italy in 2019:
Hmm, methinks they need to play that in a lower key for Nad. It sounds better on the CD.

^^ Hackett's live band and albums are really great. They're probably the nearest you can get to a new Genesis record. 
We were talking about Genesis live medleys - here's a Steve Hackett live medley at LA:
^It's a great order, all the songs flow seamlessly into each other.
Just as great, in my opinion, are Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited albums. The live band are brilliant - featuring a very Gabriel-esque singer.
Supper's Ready, Genesis Revisited:
^Great performance - especially in the battle section.

He initially seemed to play around with some of the arrangements, especially Firth of Fifth, but having see him live for the last 4 years, they're now pretty faithful and, live, they're brilliant. Nad Sylvan even does a pretty good job of covering the Peter Gabriel vocals, which I personally believe to be mission impossible :-) 
Yes but after listening to them a few times, the newer arrangements actually are good. On Revisited 2, they are more faithful. All in all, good stuff.

Thanks for the meaningful statement, Richard. LOL

And actually, maybe I could do a poll on Genesis's live medleys - I don't think that's been done before.

how many medleys are there? I think I know three - Three Sides Live, The Way We Walk - The Long Ones Medley and the medley from Love Over Europe, a bit different than the one on Three Sides Live. Confused

When in doubt, go to Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Genesis_medleys
Short answer: There are loads of them. LOL

Ohh yay!!! Another Genesis thread! This site needs a GORT to monitor duplicate threads....I'm so happy!

ALL GENESIS is GREAT!!!!!!!!!!! If you slam any era of Genesis or complain about being too pop, you have little appreciation for great music. One of the greatest band lineups ever:
Peter Gabriel
Mike Rutherford
Steve Hackett
Tony Banks
Phil Collins

Ok, are the song arrangements the same or did Steve change them up?
