Genesis live at Twickenham - Turn It On Again 2007

Very privileged to be in a box watching Genesis perform this Sunday. Never thought I'd find myself foot tapping to Los Endos whilst sipping G&Ts. A stunning production, with enough vigour, energy and surprise to put any present day rock act to shame. Rib shattering volume and mesmerising quality. And it was all over by 22.30 so the three of them could get back to the home.

Dark Globe

Oh where are you now
Pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?
When I was alone you promised a stone from your heart
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please lift a hand
I'm only a person whose armbands beat
On his hands, hang tall
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

The poppy birds way
Swing twigs coffee brands around
Brandish her wand with a feathery tong
My head kissed the ground
I was half the way down, treading the sand
Please, please, please lift a hand
I'm only a person with Eskimo chain
I tattooed my brain all the way
Won't you miss me?
Wouldn't you miss me at all?

2 seats in the name of Silver please

Just bought 2 seats in the side stalls in the name of my children (branded on the rear). Great idea, good exhibition. Just hope they'll let me borrow them when they're grown up.

Genesis - Cinema Show (second part) live

Great bit of film and some great live playing sequences, remembering drum soloing to this with pair of chopsticks and mate, Sam (also bearing a fine pair of chopsticks), now that was a while ago... Enjoy
