| Not sure if you mean opening for an album or gig. For a gig it has to be Watcher of the Skies with that mellotron opening. |

From that selection, Dance on a Volcano, but the best opening track of all from classic Genesis is Dancing with the Moonlight Night. ------------- 'Like so many of you I've got my doubts about how much to contribute to the already rich among us...' Robert Wyatt, Gloria Gloom |

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)). ------------- If you don't stand up You don't stand a chance! |

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. |
