Andy's notes from the concert...
Bad bits first:
For me, it's time Steve dropped some of 'the old favourites' - with such a vast catalogue to choose from, some Hackett classics - even large periods of his history - are being overlooked to make space for 'Blood on the rooftops' (still in the set) and - dare I say it - even the full version of 'Watcher of the skies' (an encore). 'Carpet Crawl' is still in and is as subtle as a hammer, which frankly applies to anything the drummer sings - his voice has no colour, emotion or (again) subtlety. Whilst some people hated the late-tour Genesis medley's, maybe this is something Steve could look at to cover some of the classic 'moments & passges'...Salmacis? Bit's of Cinema? Selling England? Anyway, you get my point. Oh, and some of the very obvious and massive 'treatments' of the vocals are a bit OTT - if it was 'X Factor', there'd be an uproar...finally, the light show was JUST acceptable (4 varilights and a dozen or so old gels!)
Now the good bits:
Overall, this was a hugely enjoyable show! The venue was great (wonderful acoustics) and the audience respectful and appreciative. Two cocks behind me started yapping from the start (I thought - "Genesis at Old Trafford : here we go again!") but once someone told them to "shut the **** up, they took the hint.
Starting with some big chunks of the new album, the band were tight (new bassist is fab, Roger King looks bored) with 'Prarie Angel' a big fave with me (my pal dares to suggest it could be the new 'Spectral Mornings'?) - and 'Shadow of the Hierophant' was simply staggering - the climax just built & built - it kept going for ages. Turn your volume right up and listen to those bass pedals!! Brilliant.
For those interested, my gear is Chris Church cardioids, clipped to my glasses, battery box with bass rolled off and an Edirol R09. I'm pleased with the result. Hope you enjoy. Remember to give 'Heirophant' some real welly!!!
