| Just saw the Musical Box in Montreal for the first time. They had the black backdrop and were great. I think the only thing wrong was the bass player was left handed while Rutherford isn't. |

VB: I've now seen TMB twice: last year doing the Foxtrot show, and this year doing the Selling England show. (See my review in "Bands on Tour, Live Performance Reviews"). They really are something, aren't they? Even when they're rough around the edges, they still do it better than almost anyone I've seen. Next year is the 30th Anniversary of The Lamb. And although they have never performed The Lamb outside Canada (you lucky dogs...), I'm guessing they might get some "special dispensation" to do so. I sure hope so: I know someone who saw it and said it was absolutely incredible: they even use all 1,024 slides that Genesis used for the tour. Peace. |

| Has it got something to do with another band having exclusive rights to perform the work in the USA? I think I heard something to that effect. Here in Montreal they sell out pretty fast and always play two shows one night after the other. They always play a small venue called Le Spectrum so the show was pretty intimate.Years ago we had a local band called Over The Garden Wall which did a pretty good Genesis thing with a real hot chick playing keyboards but it was nowhere near as elaborate as The Musical Box. Can't wait to see them do The Lamb. |

AAAAHHH I want to see them and they're playing here just 10 minutes away from my home, in ONE WEEK! But I have to do my university entrance diploma the day after the show  Yes, they're playing two shows (Foxtrot and Selling England) but my second examination is on the next day of the second show AAAHHH 10 minutes away from this computer and I can't see them

The Musical Box plays in Geneva in Switzerland the 5 June. I go to Canada (8'000 kilometers) in 1993 for the first Selling England By The Pound show in Montreal...and in 1998 for the last show (in fact not the last show)... And know the band plays at 70 kilometers from my home...a really nice plan. Thanks for the band and thanks Serge for all...

They are doing 2 concerts in Holland on May 21 and 22. Funny how a tribute band can achieve so much. Funny also how coverbands are called tribute bands now. Like that makes them better. The power of an artist also lies in creating , not in copying. To me it still feels like going to see a replica of a famous painting. ------------- Download 6 min.

Does Genesis lead with numbers of tribute bands , e.g. Musical Box, Re-genesis, Giraffe? And how many other types of tributes are out there (excepting the like of the Beatles, Doors, Abba, Queen etc. tributes) Mahavishnu Orchestra has the (John McLaughlin approved) Mahavishnu Project - second live album out very soon. And that's without going into bands that sound like......but don't normally do covers. Would Genesis and Yes come out top? But in a specific example, how many bands attempt to sound like past Allan Holdsworth Groups (Danbo is good at answering that sort of question, |
)?Posted By: Velvetclown

Whoopgnash's John Erickson doesn't deny it although their second album is more conscious of that and does a little less of it.
Just received Richard Hallebeek Project's "RHP" and several tracks remind me of late 80's AHG. Then you get guitarists inspired by Holdsworth but tend to do their own thing with a Holdsworthian-like sound: e.g. Alex Machacek, Elliot Freedman, Jacques LeGreca, even Scott McGill and there is another 8 or 10 that could added to that list.
