I mean a one off performance of Lamb---to be filmed would be cool. I doubt a whole performance of The Lamb will happen, but realistically they could very well perform a selection of songs from Gabriel years. Gabriel said in a recent interview that the Lamb and Supper's Ready are the two things that interest him when he thinks back to those times---can't see him doing Hogweed or I know what I like for example.

A week of performences in London, and a week in New York, all to be filmed?!

I think that would satisfy most fans.

I also think that the Money to the "musos" would be enough.

What do you think?

Just saw Gabriel in 2011 on a talk show saying the door is not locked for a Genesis reunion---but once he agreed to it--it all got very big --very fast and he didn't think he could commit the time to it---also Hackett said recently he's in touch with all of them now and then--it's not like they hate each other or don't speak---from all I read it's really all up to Peter, as I know Banks won't do it without Peter.

Money waxes lyrical......or money talks. Hope is free!

They can easily make a documentary featuring all 5 without them all being in the same room at the same time. Even the photos can be Photoshopped. I guess we'll find out! The photo depicted earlier in the thread does NOT look 'photoshopped' ...... Even if we get something along the lines of We Can't Dance crossed with some of Gabriel's more recent stylings, I'm sure it would be a satisfying offering for all a d sundry.......

They just announced this on ITV whilst playing "Invisible Touch" in the background  and also described them as "the original members of Genesis".

Even if Gabriel wouldn't re-unite with the rest of Genesis, if at least Hackett did that would be more than enough for me. I like Collins voice better anyway, and he may not be able to drum anymore (I don't know how things are going on that issue), so there would be little for him to do if Gabriel assumed lead vocals. Though there is the possibility that the new formation would include the two of them sharing lead vocals, and have Chester Thompson on drums. Though very likely nothing more will happen anyway.
