seeing Genesis play at Giants Stadium with my brother…
oh it was priceless!!
WOW!! What a show…
Highlights:
Incredible lights and video - unbelievable.
- In the Cage - wow.
- Afterglow - does it get better than this… everything awash in purple.
- Firth of Fifth - it does get better - holy cow… just sublime - Stuermer shines on the Hackett bits!!!
- Follow You, Follow Me - Phil singing and drumming with a great, fun video of Albert, Cynthia, and other notable album art characters strolling and cavorting about…
- I Know What I Like - a great video trip down memory lane - and Phil’s signature tambourine solo!
- Ripples - Tony Banks at his compositional best.
- Drum Duet into Los Endos - Collins and Thompson were amazing with drum sticks - and then Los Endos… - for me the highlight.
- Carpet Crawlers - the finale… a great “chilled” version that ended a beautiful evening of superb musicianship and great entertainment!
CooL
Way cool! I’m jealous!
WOW! Did they just play really old stuff or was that just the highlights?!?! Either way… WAY cool!
I think Genesis and Phil Collins are some of the most underrated musicians and song writers of all time. I love their stuff!! I am jealous that you got to go! I would love to see them and The Police…two of the best reunion tours this year (IMHO).
great stuff - I totally dig Genesis…
so here is the complete set list - 2.5 hours of solid musicianship - there was at least one - bathroom break for the old fans and a couple of opportunities to get refreshed for the new fans…

“Turn It On Again”
“No Son Of Mine”
“Land Of Confusion”
“In The Cage” / “The Cinema Show” / “Duke’s Travels” / “Afterglow”
“Hold On My Heart” (bathroom break - it was pretty amazing the exodus from the stadium)

“Follow You, Follow Me”
“Firth Of Fifth” / “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)”
“Home By The Sea” / “Second Home By The Sea”

You delivered the report so full-of-feeling that readers feel as if they had been there with you! (although we all know that ACTUALLY being there is a fuller experience than ANYONE can describe)
Uh, don’t know where the rest of my comment went. I wanted to say that I was JEALOUS.
