Hushabye is amazing. Especially the build up (starting at 1:05) to Mike's "Lullaby.... and goodnight - in your dreams I held you tight" - goosebumps everytime I hear that. The whole ASL album is fab, the only thing I hate about those early albums is that they're all so damn short!

Yeah it was a great show, too bad it was so short. I thought that Billy Hinsche was going to say something about Al not being there but no... The place still had quite a lot of empty seats - behind me there were 3 or 4 empty seats (and one was occupied by a guy who slept during half the show!).

In the Letterman video, who's the guy on the left of Bruce & Al ?

Just get the SOT-sets

Carre @ Row 14, seat 9 it is

Groningen is too far for me + it's too expensive for me to go to both concerts

Wow, why wasn't this announced anywhere ?

The music sounds like a new take to me, but the last God Only Knows dóes sound very Bruce-ish..... I just wish Brian would put out some new music instead of rehashes of old stuff - but don't we all

I just hope they'll add some dates in Europe too...

I just got the SOT source tape last week (as FLAC files). The package includes scans of the artwork and it looks like a release and not a fan-made item. I believe Secret Smile is a mp3-only 'release'.

If it's an official press-release it's a bit stupid. It first says Johnny passed in September 2003 (correct) and then talks about how the month's following June's death in May 2004 (!) were really tough for Johnny.

Peter has said in an interview that he won't join the band again. He did confirm however that there have been talks.

There's definitely some Hackett era Genesis material that would be appropriate for a Gabriel led Genesis reunion.

Indeed. Eleventh Earl of Mar, Dance On A Volcano, Los Endos, One For The Vine.... Wouldn't mind hearing those

My dreamsetlist:

Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Fly On A Windshield
Broadway Melody Of 1974
In The Cage/Colony Of Slippermen
Carpet Crawlers (Acoustic)
Time Table (Acoustic)
The Musical Box
Fountain of Salmacis
Supper's Ready
-------
Watcher of the Skies
The Knife
--------
Firth Of Fifth
I Know What I Like

Probably the no 1 act on my "want-to-see" list. Saw Queen + Paul Rodgers, Valensia, Brian Wilson, Peter Gabriel in the last couple of years. Now only Genesis and Kate Bush are left basically. Would love to see them do a set with stuff like Musical Box, Fountain of Salmacis and Supper's Ready. But I doubt Peter Gabriel would be interested in playing all that 35 year old stuff again... I think the chance of a Phil-era reunion is way higher, unfortunately... After DUKE they haven't released anything really worthwhile...
