Me and pals stood outside the stage door waiting for autographs, road crew member asked us if we wanted to come down. Its massive down there, obviously had to be to accommodate the resident orchestra members.Lucky you how did you manage to get the invite ?

TBIAC - he pretty much disowned everything they did with Gabriel and is a miserable c*nt to boot.its a fair accusation to be honest. Hiring the horn section from Earth Wind and Fire on a Genesis album was unforgivable.
There was an interim period up to Duke when they were still making decent albums but it all went down hill after that (the odd track excepted) . I akways wonder whether the other too wanted more of a pop sound too - Tony Banks was always one to speak his mind if he didn’t like something
Thank God somebody finally called out My Own Special Way as dirge. SH called it a great song…come on Steve!Last sentence there gets to the key conundrum about the band. I used to think Banks was the keeper of the prog flame, but having heard In Too Deep etc, I’m not so sure. I do think it’s clear that Rutherford developed pop sensibilities early on (the dirge that is Your Own Special Way springs to mind), so maybe things weren’t clear cut.
I guess what you say about Banks is true, but after 81, there must have been an elephant in the room at Genesis get-togethers and writing sessions, which was that if Collins didn’t like it - the song or the band - it wasn’t gonna happen!
Forgot to mention. Inside And Out could have been on the album instead of that.Thank God somebody finally called out My Own Special Way as dirge. SH called it a great song…come on Steve!
Haha yeah an acquired taste. Pity as they're a great band.Geddy Lee with the recording tape speeded up.
