The Musical Box (Genesis Coverband)

What? No topic about "The Musical Box", the professional Genesis Coverband. 

I saw their Lamb show a couple of years back, it is not to be missed!

When you do a search, the default search time is 6 Months, so it only brings up threads that were started in the previous 6 months.  If you change the search time to "any time", it will bring up all threads that were created regarding The Musical Box.  Most, if not all of them were more than 6 months old and have been closed for new posts, but they can still be read if you are interested.  The ones that I saw were from a year or two ago and discussed them performing A Trick of A Tail.

I am so much a Genesis fan that I haven't dared, yet, to see them. I am too afraid that I might get disappointed about the fact, that it is 'only' a cover band and not the 'real' ones playing.

I only was fortunate to see this band once. It was one of  their only California appearances in 2004 and they were doing the Lamb.  I was completely stunned at the detail they played the music and looked the part.  More Rock Theater than a concert. I am glad the real Genesis licensed this group.  While Tony Banks may never have seen the group it was he who took them into the studio to here the multi track recordings in order to perfect the music.  Remember they do not recreate the live music but the studio music live. 

I have seen TMB five times: all four tours (Foxtrot, SE, Lamb, TOTT) once, and Foxtrot twice.  Most of the players have physical resemblances to the members of Genesis (until recently, only the keyboardist did not, but now the drummer does not either, as their former drummer left), and they use the exact same equipment.  For The Lamb, they also use not only the original costumes, but are the only band that Genesis provided all of the original 1200 slides to, so that the show would be perfect.  (And most of the members of Genesis have not only seen the band, but have sat in for one or more songs at least once.)  Note that the former drummer - who is a dead ringer for Collins - left to start his own, Collins-centered Genesis cover band.  In this regard, I don't think the lead singer of TMB pulls off Collins as well as he does Gabriel - but he does Gabriel better than anyone you will ever see.  And as others have noted, the music itself is note-perfect, including all effects.

I saw The Musical Box at Westbury Music Fair on Long Island (mostly a nostalgia-acts type venue - but a few shows a year peak my interest....and it is one of the greatest venues to see a concert)....on the Trick of a Tail tour.

I believe they're playing the Lamb in L.A. next thursday! That reminds me, I better buy some tickets.
