Peter Gabriel's voice nowadays is destroyed. He can't sing. Have you heard him?

I would literally give a finger to see this gig.

Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?

yep, heard him live this year and i wouldnt say he cant sing. in fact i was quite surprised how well he could still sing. so stating that his voice is destroyed is absolute nonsense!

Well, at this point in time I really don't care about Peter Gabriel (unless he stops looking like he's 62 years old), I'd be happy with just Steve Hackett. Trick-lineup FTW!!!
But...WITH Peter Gabriel? HELL YA I'D GO! But I'd hope that they'd play a good mix of the Gabriel-era, and not just The Lamb. (But if they DID play just The Lamb, they had better play "Twilight Alehouse" as an encore! I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine...)

Speaking as a long time fan, only if the price was right. Rather skeptical they could reproduce the magic.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

No. But Steve Walsh of Kansas had his voice almost "destroyed" in 1992 (in the "Kansas Live at the Whisky" CD). In their "Device Voice Drum" DVD from 2002, I was surprised a lot to see that he recovered his voice. So, in many cases a good singer can recover his good voice. Maybe you listened to Gabriel during a "bad night" or he had a lot of concerts and his voice was tired.

Would Peter be expected to don all the costumes from concerts past including the slipperman?

Uhm... Difficult to appraise. For the nostalgic... OK. But I don't believe it is a good idea.

I see that many people want to see this Reunion happen. I really expected this in this website, but I had some doubts, because many people only prefer tthe Banks / Collins / Rutherford line-up.
Gabriel 25 years ago used some of the costumes and masks from the past during the Reunion Benefit Concert with Genesis for WOMAD (called "Six of the Best"). It could be interesting to see him using the Slipperman costume and others. But even if he doesn`t use them, it could be interesting too to see Genesis with Gabriel and Hackett, at least for me.

That time has come and gone for Genesis. Even if they all got back together again, they would find a way to *pop* it up. They would undoubtedly release a "Union" like album to support the tour, or vise versa.
