But I'm curious as to why it is time for me to collaborate with Brian Eno.  ------------- I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you? |

Sorry Doctor but much like jury duty, sooner or later everybody has to
collaborate with Mr Eno on a musical project. It's the Law. Check out the Brian Eno/Billy Ray Cyrus album - Music For Achy Breaky Airports ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

Both Peter Gabriel and Genesis keep making noises about doing the Lamb
at some point in the future but after all this time, it does feel a
little like smoke an mirrors to be honest. Not that I would complain at all if they did! ------------- I must remind the right honourable gentleman that a monologue is not a decision. - Clement Atlee, on Winston Churchill |

You forgot to add 'Misunderstanding' and 'Scenes from a Nights Dream' Simon.
Now, that would be the perfect sh!t list. Sorry did I say sh!t list, I meant set list.. Man, I'd be there with brass knobs on...all over me! |

I never in a million years would expect them to revisit the Lamb. It was just a dream.
It'd make a nice film too...

I think they should add in some of Phil Collins's solo stuff also. Like the classic Sussodioand maybe even Easy Lover, although that would be a bit to proggy. ------------- "Market value is irrelevant to intrinsic value." Arnold Schoenberg |

The ultimate imaginary Genesis concert! A reunited Genesis including Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins perform at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles for a taping of PBS Great Performances. Gabriel insists on a revue because he refuses to wear the costumes.

Brilliant set list porn jimdom. I would probably have chosen 'Fading Light's' over 'Driving The Last Spike' for the latter day material but hey, I'm just being picky. Posted By: nahnite

As I have a strong preference for teh gabriel era Genesis, and I don't think the individual songs on The Lamb work out of context, I'll go with much of their SEBTP tour, which I ws lucky enough to see (plus two revivals by Musical Box). So...
Watcher of the Skies - (classic opener)
Moonlit Knight
Firth of Fifth
Giant Hogweed (something a bit raunchier after the polish of the previous 2)
Seven Stones
Can-Utility
Fountain of Salmacis
Get 'em out by Friday
Musical Box
Supper's Ready
encore
Cinema Show including Aisle of Plenty ------------- Casting doubt on all I have to say... |

A SEBTP set would defenetly do it for me. Yes....The Lamb is my favorite album of all time. But playing seperate songs is simply not going to work. So they should play it all, or not at all. So....like The Musical Box was doing The Lamb, then the Musical Box and end with Watchers is also not bad. Too bad they did not play The Knige as we'll as Genesis did sometimes too (as you can hear on a bootleg from that tour in Birmingham for example). But that what they are already playing was creamy enough. But leaving out the Lamb....would leave enough space to play the classics from Trespass, Nursery Crime, Foxtrot en Selling and then Twlight Alehouse as extra bonus....ount me in. And Good thing is....most songs are long.....so in this way they do not have to play medleys.....what truly would be the most terrible imaginable thing to do in a reunion concert and they can play every song is its entirely. So Firth or Fifth, including piano intro and the Cinema Show....including Aisle of Plenty....that mellotron in the end is simply too good not to play.
And if they want to do another reunion..........then let them play a seperate set with only Trick of the tail and Wind and Wuthering.........Only this 2 albums complete in a Collins/Hackett/Banks/Rutherford/\Bruford lineup.
So spread it out over 2 evenings.....is my guess.

| The first thing I imagined when I read the title of the topic was not the setlist of such concert, but Peter Gabriel singing on it together with his seventies bandmates, which, unfortunately, seems to be even furthest than the fact of seeing them playing my favourite songs. |

4. Dance on a volcano
5. Blood on the Rooftops
- after a disagreement with lead guitar levels on front-of-house mix SH storms off-stage too. Bill gets bored of playing 4/4 for about two minutes staight and drfits to the bar. Chester and Daryl roll their eyes and climb to the stage - show goes on
7. Behind the lines
