The Watch plays Genesis (Paris, January 22)

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

The Watch are having a concert called "The Watch Plays Genesis" in Paris this month and I'm intrigued. I've searched a bit on the internet to find out whether it's going to be a Genesis covers show or is it going to be a concert of their own material, but with no luck. All I've found on the internet was about their own material, and about the Genesis influence in their music. 

I'd go to that concert if it was a covers show, and if it was a good one. Does anyone have any idea?

	I think I already found out the answer It's a show based on the FOXTROT album, the masterpiece released in '72. The band will perform the whole album, every single track of it, plus many many other surprises... infact you will be leaded through the world of GENESIS and their the very first years production, like only The Watch can do. You will discover tracks old versions (i.e. you will taste some old spots in TW Anyway) and much much more... a COMPLETELY NEW show in which you can find some The Watch compositions too of course.. Seems pretty clear now. So, is anyone going? Here's the list of the rest of this tour: Look for shows with special guests and features! 1 Special guests of the night will be STEVE HACKETT BAND members JOHN HACKETT and NICK MAGNUS. 2 40th TRESPASS anniversary show fri15 Jan2010 Knaack Club Berlin D fri22 Jan2010 Le Triton Paris F sat23 Jan2010 Rustico Frutigen CH fri29 Jan2010 Die Halle Frankfurt D sat30 Jan2010 De Pul Uden NL sun31 Jan2010 Spirit of 66 Verviers B 1 thu04 Feb2010 Zoe Club Milano I 1 fri05 Feb2010 Teatro S.

	yep got my tickets to the Glasgow gig. at the ferry only £12 ! .for 12 feb 2010 checked them out on you tube and on their web and they sound excellent.. a brilliant opportunity to see early genesis song performed live by excellent musicians and true to the original. Anyone else going to the glasgow gig? check out you tube clip of the knife whihc i am hoping they will do as well as all of foxtrot http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TM3DB5TpoFE&feature=related
