rastabillz Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Yeah, that's a great song. I also really like "Don't give up." I have one of his greatest hits CDs called "Shaking the Tree." Every song on that CD is cool. I never get tired of listening to it. 516919[/snapback] Interestingly the women he duets with on Don't Give Up, Kate Bush, just put out a new double album...her first in about 10 years. KB also sings the backup on Games Without Frontiers...Jeux sans frontieres. I found the video for Don't give Up on PG website.
plenzmd1 Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 Me too. They played a lot in Buffalo. There was another Syracuse area band that played similar music...Mr. Ed that my friends and I would always see when they came to town. 516634[/snapback] Remeber going to see a Genesis cover band named Pegasus at McVans several times in the early 80s. Been a long time, but I was at Sheas for the U2 concert in 83 or 84, thought that was the last "rock" concert they allowed in there. BTW, guy that works for me has also heard alot about the reunion tour fwiw
The Poojer Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I heard the Phil actually said he would gladly move predominantly to the drums and let Gabriel take center stage...I am getting goosebumps just thinking about it, and hives thinking about the ticket prices Remeber going to see a Genesis cover band named Pegasus at McVans several times in the early 80s.

LewPort71 Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 "...hives about ticket prices".. But THAT is a concert I would spend the $$$ for... PG fronting and PC on the drums...Yup,,it would be worth 'it'.

It's a good thing they did too because they stopped an INXS show there mid-encore because the balcony was "boucing" a couple of years after the U2 show.
Ned Flanders Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I used to go see a similar band called "Over The Garden Wall" at the Penny Arcade. They were an amazing Canadian Genesis tribute band that concentrated on the PG era. Never had to pay $37.50 tho 516080[/snapback] Holy crap...loved OTGW! Saw them at the Arcade several times, always around this time of year when I was home for T-Giving/holidays. I'm thinking the last time I saw them was about ten years ago though...(or when I came up for a playoff game ) And yes, they were great...jeeziz, haven't thought about them in a loooooong time, wonder if they're still around? Another great cover band/act at the Arcade was Rob Levesque (sp?) who used to do great Howard Jones/Genesis/Phil Collins/etc

Dam, that U2 concert was great. Was in town for either Thanksgiving or Christmas i think, or some holiday, and walked up and bought tickets.

God that would be a great concert.

I only own that one PG CD that i mentioned earlier. Are there any other PG CDs that you'd recommend getting? I'm looking to get more of his music. I know's he's got a few CDs out there.

lawnboy1977 Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 I've actally been reading a lot about Genesis lately. I got into the band in their later years, sicne I'm only 28 thats the era I know of them. I'm looking for some old Genesis CDs to buy, can you guys recomend any? Should I get a best of a box set, or go out and buy individual albums?
lawnboy1977 Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 The first part about her pale skin and the anger of the other characters is obvious. Did you see the foreshadowing the same way I did? She led him to the throne carved from jade. Jade/Emerald city of Seattle. Pretty cool. Their breakup led to his move, which had already been planned by the writers evidently. The even more subtle part comes from the last two lines of the song: Two golden globes float into the room And a blaze of white light fills the air. If you watch certain episodes of Frasier there are two globe like decorations above the fridge in his kitchen. They are suspisciously not in every episode and even when they are there you have to look closely sometimes. It's a stretch but I think the blaze of white light is when the fridge opens. Why else would they put the decorations in the kitchen? They could have just as easily put them behind the dad's chair or near the entrance way. 516217[/snapback] A Genesis-Frasier connection, who would have ever thought?!

Should I get a best of a box set, or go out and buy individual albums? 517799[/snapback] I would suggest any cd with both Gabriel and Hackett, 'Nursery Cryme', 'Foxtrot' 'Selling England by the Puound', and 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' - these were the best. The 2 cd's after Gabriel left - 'Trick of the Tail' and 'Wind and Wuthering' still had Hackett on them and they are still very good. Avoid any cd after Hackett - from 'And Then There Were Three' forward. Stay away from any boxset - they are tilted more towards the Phil Collins drivel.
Webster Guy Posted December 2, 2005 Author Posted December 2, 2005 I've actally been reading a lot about Genesis lately.

Should I get a best of a box set, or go out and buy individual albums? 517799[/snapback] I would suggest that you get "Seconds Out", a double live CD. It has Phil Collins singing, but it is when he first took over for Peter Gabriel so a bunch of songs that Gabriel sung are on the CD. Since you are used to Phil Collins singing in the later Genesis years, it might be too much to go to the beginning with Gabriel. People who have gone backwards with Genesis (they like the new stuff and decide to explore their work going back) sometimes don't "get" the old Gabriel stuff right away. "Seconds Out" is a good buffer, you can go backwards from there if you like it. That's what I recommend for ya. Jeff PS If you do decide to go back, the "Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" is sung by Gabriel (double CD) and drummed by Phil Collins and is my fav album of all time. And if you never realized what a phenomenal drummer Phil Collins is, anything pre-Abacab in my opinion is fantastic. Chester Thompson drums live on Seconds Out, but you can hear when Phil Collins stops singing in a song, runs back, and the two drummers drum together. (On the song "Cinema Show", Bill Bruford is the live drummer).

It has the classic, epic song Suppers Ready which takes all of side 2. Many old time Genesis fans consider Supers Ready the best Genesis tune of all time. I personally like the album Selling England by the Pound. Tony Banks piano intro to Firth of Fith is magnificent. Genesis reached their artist peak with the concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway-Gabriels last album with the band and a must listen for anybody who is interested in the older version of the band.
nucci Posted December 2, 2005 Posted December 2, 2005 I am one of those people whose musical tastes are just stuck in the past. There is a lot of new music which I find ok, some very good, but I am stuck on 70's and 80's music. Not just the popular hits of the time, but the bands themselves. So, I am going to see a band called "The Musical Box" at Shea's Peforming Arts Center, Friday at 8:00 pm. They do old Gabriel Genesis and tickets are $37.50. $37.50??? Well, screw it, I'm going with a buddy of mine who shares my musical taste. The opportunity to see this music performed live doesn't come around too often, so I guess I got to grab the opportunity as I love that music. Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is my all time favorite album. I know every word, every drum beat. Lame? OK, I admit it. A buddy of mine who lives in Cleveland saw them last month and said they were unbelievable. My friends always kid me ("let it go, MAN"). But I can't! Anyway, I am in Rochester (Webster) and have never been to Shea's. Supposedly they have orchestra seats and balcony seats. Anyone ever been there? Any good? Anyone know anyone who can get me great seats?...haha Thanks, Jeff 515941[/snapback] I have seen the Musical box twice before in Philly and am going on Sat Dec 10th. If you are a Genesis fan of that era it is a must see concert.

It has the songs Biko, Games without Frontiers, and I don't Rememeber. His album So was his biggest seller I believe and proably contains his most accessible music including the songs Dont' Give Up, Red Rain, In your Eyes, and Sledgehammer.
