I think the point being this was broadcast out on TV as this song opened the ceremonies. I thought how fantastic it was to have this song being played at such an obvious non prog rock crowd. And Trey speaking from the heart of a prog fan about Genesis. I really appreciated the effort he did.

Pretty good cover. It's really great that they chose to play one of Genesis' best songs, rather than any of their top 10 hits. My only real complaint is the mediocre vocals; they could have been much better.

Pretty good performance, I must say. Trey's speech was good, although I could kind of tell that he felt forced to give respect to the Pop years when he really cared more for the Prog years. Oh well, that's what I expect from the RRHOF.

That this thread was banished of this area of PA really shows that this website is not in favor of promoting the genre. Tell me I am wrong any admin that moved this? Why? I do not get it.

Okay maybe so but it wasn't just one part of Genesis that was inducted. lol There was more to it than just the speech they ran a 5 minute montage of the group showing a good bit film from the Shepherdstown gig and the Italian TV shows in the SEBtP/Foxtrot era. All in all pretty cool. Even if Genesis wasn't your favorite band they represent a lot of things we like. I really think the hall paid respects to the entire carrer and not just the most popular

^ There was a 6 page thread over at PE about that very thing. How do any of us know what they were thinking?
At the after event interviews I believe there was some genuine surprise from the band about the choice of the song. Maybe my favorite moment was after Rutherford and Collins said their piece for the acceptance speach Hackett walked up to mike and plugged his tour this spring.

Thought it was quite amusing the different facial expressions from Genesis - Rutherford/Banks both looked mildly annoyed, Collins looked mildly amused & Hackett quite wistful.
Oh yes & a good shot of Meryl Streep looking a combination of bored & slightly confused

Good performance by Phish though
Yeah I noticed the Meryl bit and thought I saw signs that it was new to her but she was starting to get in to it.

It is good they chose a prog classic though.
