Shed 2 (The Gazebo)

I'm with Alan on this - I thought 1 was a good idea, but never gave me that 'wow' factor; 2 on the other hand, hit every button & contained serious 'grin' factor.

Steve Hackett - Genesis Revisited Live (3 CDs and 2 DVDs Just had a quick watch of the Hackett DVD - all I can say is Supper's Ready - 'kin 'ell Firth of Fifth - 'kin 'ell Musical Box - 'kin 'ell. Guys, if you like Genesis then you really need to get this!

Vicky & I were at the Albert Hall in October & witnessed this astonishingly good rebirth of Genesis material, so when this box set arrived via Santa I was more than a little chuffed.

You missed a couple of salient points though, Alan:

Watcher Of The Skies - 'kin 'ell.
Fly On A Windshield/Broadway - 'kin 'ell.
Entangled - 'kin 'ell.



Actually - the whole set - 'kin 'ell.



[edit]

Oops - forgot one:

Steve Rothery's size - 'kin 'ell!!

...who ate all the pies, who ate all the pies... etc etc

I like karaoke too, I just prefer cover versions to add something.

As the final chord was played, the Hall erupted, everyone on their feet shouting their heads off; good to see a similar reaction on the Hammersmith DVD

If the ending of Musical Box doesn't get you then nothing will.

Never heard of it - sounds interesting though; didn't know Tom Stoppard had even released an album

Happy New Year everyone.

First You need to have iTunes running on the PC, then you select "Home Sharing" from the "File" Menu. On the iPad you set-up home sharing in "Settings ->Music->HOME SHARING". Once you done both those you can now load the iPad's Music app, go to the "Shared" tab and select your PC's library. After an age as the two communicate with themselves, your PC music library will be accessible. For something that is relatively simple they do seem to make a meal of it, but it does work. Ah, so it's an Apple thing then! Maybe I can do that from my Nexus. I shall do some digging. Thanks Dean.

Jim, what's your opinion of the main Hackett singer Nad Sylvan? I've not come across him before, but apart from being a bit scary looking and having a name that appears to be short for men's dangly bits, I quite like him.
