Show memories
My second - and, so far, final - Genesis show. I may in fact have attended the previous evening, but I no longer have the ticket stub to be certain. I DO remember the pre-show audience being very boisterous, shouting out the names of their favortie progrock bands. "Genesis" - "YAAAY", "King Crimson" - "YAAAY", "The Strawbs" - "YAAAY", etc - until someone shouted out "Renaissance" - "Renaissance is BORING", ""They SUCK", etc - LOL

The show was great - very different from the Gabriel show I had seen two years earlier, of course, but I thought Phil acquitted himself VERY well - and it's always a great pleasure to watch the superb drumming of Bill Bruford.

Highlights of the show had to be "White Mountain" - sadly retired soon afterwards. Phil singing "Supper's Ready" was a treat and the encore, featuring the instrumental "WOTS" was spine-tingling.

This marked the start of the world-class Genesis light shows - a tradition which I am glad they have maintained to this day, viz the SUPERB 2007 staging!

best,
