Sorry, not able to find the original post. Late 60s early 70s is my guess.Does it say anywhere what year that was?
My very first gig was to see Genesis in Plymouth promoting the Foxtrot album. I was blown away.Whilst we’re on bands from yesteryear I’ve got an interesting evening planned for tomorrow.
I’m going to see Canadian band The Musical Box at The Forum in Bath.
They exclusively play Peter Gabriel era Genesis material.
This current world tour that they’re on started last year and is commemorating the 50th anniversary of the release of the Selling England by the Pound album.
So, although their setlist is only 10 songs they are very long.
It’s five from the album above, three from Foxtrot and one each from Nursery Cryme and Trepass.
The bloke who ‘plays’ Peter Gabriel wears replicas of the outlandish outfits he wore for each song and portrays the respective characters, mimicking the exact physical movements that Gabriel originally made.
He even has his hair in that strange style where it’s long on the sides but with a big track shaved up the middle.
I’ve only seen them online up until now and they seem very good, so I’m looking forward to watching and listening to them live.
Hopefully it’ll fun.
Given the prices for Yes & Slade, I'm thinking it was 1971. 1972 at a push.Sorry, not able to find the original post. Late 60s early 70s is my guess.
Maybe 1970 as well looking at T Rex, name changed and a decent sized fee. 1971 still probably favourite though.Given the prices for Yes & Slade, I'm thinking it was 1971. 1972 at a push.
Yes but what was the gig like?My very first gig was to see Genesis in Plymouth promoting the Foxtrot album. I was blown away.
F'ing brilliantYes but what was the gig like?
Yes would've only been able to charge £500 after The Yes Album was released I would've thought, and that was released in Feb '71.Maybe 1970 as well looking at T Rex, name changed and a decent sized fee. 1971 still probably favourite though.
Saw this tour at The Great Hall, certainly an experience...My very first gig was to see Genesis in Plymouth promoting the Foxtrot album. I was blown away.
