For anybody who, like me, thinks that Genesis were a perfectly good band ruined by a tax-fleeing drummer with ideas above his station, then they may be interested to hear that tomorrow (March 23rd) sees the reissue of the five Peter Gabriel era studios albums (excluding the 1969 cobble-together and completely different sounding From Genesis [...]Post from: Head Full of SnowGabriel era Genesis A...

Although none of the music will be new material, Genesis is planning to release quite a bit later this year. Fans of Phil Collins & the gang can expect a live album, DVD, and a book around Christmas time. Mike Rutherford of Genesis revealed to Billboard.com that filming has been going on since last October for a DVD, and the bands upcoming concert at the Circo Massimo in Rome will be filmed as ...

Anyone lucky enough to catch the recent tour? I'm sure it was great. I wasn't fortunate enough, however, I have a complete concert that was taken from the soundboard in a concert they did in Europe. Excellent sound quality. Here is the classic Los Endos. Enjoy!!

I've had the Live Earth benefit going on in the background while puttering around the apartment this morning. Nothing new under the sun in re: the tidbits of self-inflicted ecodoom and envirogloom (e.g., 40 million plastic water bottles disposed daily, taking 100 years to decompose), nor the guest spots (Will Ferrell & Chris Rock PSAs, Kelly Clarkson really is as backwoods as you think), nor th...

I respect the hell out of Phil Collins. Seriously, I do. Listen to his drumming on the early Genesis records and you can hear why I respect him. The fact of the matter is Genesis were better with Peter Gabriel as singer. You just can't deny it. Their music was more focused, more articulate, and certainly more experimental than the post-Gabriel era. There is a trading group on Yahoo called t...

As you can see here, the first concert I ever went to was a Genesis concert at Giants Stadium as a senior in high school in 1992. Our seats were quite possibly farther from the stage than any other seats in the stadium. 15 years later, Genesis is back together and are coming through with a stop at Giants Stadium again. While my musical tastes have changed a lot since then, I still feel like I...

Maybe this will only really appeal to people who know London. Back in the late 70's, someone gave me a tape of 'Trick of the Tail'. Back then, me and my 'ex' regularly used to go clubbing in Central London and when we came out in the early hours, we used to go over to the best all-night bagel factory in the whole of London to get some lox and bagels. This bagel place was in East London, (Stratf...

The pop star's third wife will receive .76 million in their divorce, topping Heather Mills McCartney's previous record for Britain's Largest Divorce Settlement. Phil's second wife received million in '94 after he broke up with her via fax. Who's ready for another Genesis farewell tour?~~

Later this week I'm leaving the wonderful oasis of Pittsburgh for Chicago and the non-stop rocking that is Lollapalooza. Because of other commitments in the days preceeded and following the concert I'll be away for nearly a week. Don't fret though, I'm working on a massive post to tide all you over and make the week without me as close as it can be to livable. Until then here is some unapologet...

Could You Flow? -1 Coming into this week, I had zero Genesis music. I know about the history and some key albums and tunes..but did I need to actually have them in my collection? A blog post elsewhwere convinced me I did and so in typical obsessive fashion I started gobbling up the records. I decided on a chronological approach and I dl'd their first 5 records.This morning I added the albums to...

~~If ever there's a band that ultimately disappointed me, it's Genesis. Back in the seventies they led the way, defining and shaping music for the headsters and for many next generation bands.They were perfect with Peter Gabriel at the front and Phil Collins on the drums. The stories they told and put to music - fantasy and adventure tales of worlds and creatures woven together in morality tal...
