Post by CovenantPost by Mark RaePost by Ian Andrew SchneiderRespectfully, that dude can *barely* do Gabriel looking 47.
<blank stare> Gabriel looking 47????? Denis was incredible doing PG
for the Foxtrot, Lamb and Selling tours. Tony Banks called him
"brilliant". While the others stated similar things about the show
with Phil and Steve appearing / playing with them.
Ah yes, but not *everyone* is of that opinion...
Lost...
Phil and Steve thought enough of them to play alongside them.
Tony said they were Brilliant.
Pete took his children to show them what their dad used to do
What did Mike say that must have been so horrendous??
(Cos beyond those 5, no-one else's opinion really matters !)
;' )

A Man With Far Too Much Time On His Hands
my obtusitude. There are two guys that play Phil, right? The guy who
plays Phil when they did teh lamb recreation tour - THAT guy - he's
the one about whom I was asking. So - of those of you who know the
name of the musician who played the drums and backing (almost 2/5, it
sounded) vocals for the Lamb tour circa 2005. I was of the opinion
that if that was the gentleman who was going to play Phil, it might be
better than the guy who did Peter.
maybe that is the man who jumped ship, or was borrowed from, the
canadian turn it on again. the ones who did the 1982 recreation tour
- the excellent chopped keyboardist, great but equipment was outdated
and indeed broke down during the cage, right before the solo exposing
the relative weaknesses of the bassists and guitarist who in TMB are
NOTE perfect, as is TMB's keys man. in tioa teh rhythm section guys
sounded kinda easten european in their lack of groove when exposed
during the cage, So said, with the tioa Phil guy doing his "3 days in
Philadelphia" act, in, well, the Keswick Theater in Philadelphia, was
so good that with 1/2 a keyboardist and a man who was probably an ok
drummer but compared to Chester was very Jackson Browne on a Sunday
morning, which is not good for Genesis' Phil stuff that needs that
Chester ballsiness to really go.
Anyway, the vocalist is the most important person in the band - and
that clip didn't sound very good. I you don't think the vocalist
rules, talk to Trevor Horn, Ray Wilson and Jon Anderson - the first
two hard working but *just don't have it*, and Jon not being able top
not have it, as I'm sure Phil always knew that he's be remembered for
his vocals. The "Supper's Ready" on seconds out is still the best
recording I have ever heard, and while Steve is hitting some ecstatic
notes at the end, the rhythm changes actually work where 999 times of
1,000 a mix of even 3 of those sections would not work, Mike is the
same, Tony is the same, and Pete's words: "PHIL BRINGS SOMETHING TO
THE PIECE THAT I CANNOT." Pete could never sing the masterpiece he
wrote (but for that one benefit you are not supposed to know about)
after Phil learned to sing during the Trick Tour because no one has
topped Phil's vocals on as sure as eggs is eggs. Key to it all, of
course, the bass pedal drones - doesn't work without the Scottish (to
american ears) flavor.
In fact, Obama won the debate tonight using an Ab as his tonic/drone,
which works very well. You can just put a guitar tuner or an iPhone
up to the tv - I'm not kidding. barack would get into a 58.3333333
hertz groove, and while he showed he knew nothing, his confidence in
the face of dire crisis was infectious. The scared mcvcain's keys
were all over the place.
