Watchers of the Skies.  I can't think of a better concert opener.
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I
don't mind. Why should I be frightened of dying?
There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometime.
I never said I was frightened of dying.

Naw, it's not that hard to do an impression of the intro (with practice obviously.  I often find it quite easy to sing along to Genesis songs, because my range is similar to Peter's).  Of course it wouldn't be the real thing, but it's the same case with all of the other Gabriel-era Genesis songs (exception:  the Musical Box (the band)).

From that selection, Dance on a Volcano, but the best opening track of all from classic Genesis is Dancing with the Moonlight Night.
