the GENESIS story...

[sharcnorris]

Hi Moonbuds, Yesterday I watched the 1 hour Tour kickoff with Phil, Mike, and Tony. I thought Id repeat the facts for all to see. The Boys said:

They Have been rubbing elbows as friends this last 15 years.
The original Idea was to have a 5 member LAMB LIES DOWN revival
Peter and Steve were part of these Talks, Peter has no time so its a no go
The Band wants to do alot of their "HITS" from Their last 3 Albums and Steve was not part of that so he graciously bowed out.
Chester Thompson and Darell will Indeed round out the Band
Phil has one ear with Hearing loss caused by a virus 6 years ago, not loud music.
They will play 20 gigs in Europe and 20 later in the US.
When asked are they in it for the money, The answer was No, it was for the fun of being together performing their Best Material. Phil said if it was for the Cash then thy would be doing many more shows on other Continents as well.
Finally, and to me surprisingly, The Band will perform NO new material.

That's the Facts Moon people:

My take is: No new material?. That's what I wanted. It will seem like a Moodies Concert, about the past not the present.

I saw the MAMA tour and it was excellent, The double drum kit was a WOW!
I wont be going to a Stadium for ANY band but I would Pay to see them again. For 35 years I called GENESIS my favorite Band...that has really not changed.
