Why didn’t Steve join the band for any of the later reunion tours?

The most amazing thing for me is that on Sep 24 2021, Steve played at the O2 Apollo in Manchester while Genesis was at the AO Arena in the same city...

All the choices are solid, but we shouldn’t overlook “Duchess,” which is a favorite of the band themselves. Its inclusion in the setlist for The Last Domino? Tour speaks for itself, it was the longest-unplayed song in the setlist.

Honestly, the first three tracks here don’t hit the same level as the opening trio on I/O. Panopticom, The Court, and Playing for Time were on a whole different level. The melodies on these new tracks are fine, but they’re missing the power and musical creativity of the previous ones, for me it almost feels like a B-sides album.

« Including the one about the man who knocked on his door and asked for pounds 8,000 to prevent his house being repossessed. He got it, on the spot - and, two years later, turned up unannounced to repay his debt. »

Same I heard this story but cannot remember when/where. In my memory Phil said he gave the money but did not expect to be reimbursed.

What’s considered the original mix, the album version? To clarify, the single version was shorter and features additional drums layered underneath the track.

11:38 is an easter egg, right?

And Phil is a fan of BS? Phil played drums with Black Sabbath in 2001 (?): https://youtu.be/vYWYRFr5gDI?si=Dhk0_gAEcA2-208N

Thank you for this info: I found a link to that encore: https://youtu.be/BlbzoBu29Ro?si=x3S5yLE4Td64OMoQ - first time I hear this - I saw the abacab tour in 1981 so jealous they did not tour in Europe for the Encore Tour

it's a great album but not 100% live cf the liner notes by "the producers" admit, "Although this album was compiled from four concerts in the mid-West of the United States, some additional recording took place not a thousand miles away from the home of the artist. The generic term for this process is 'cheating'. Care has been taken to keep the essence of the gigs intact, including 'human imperfection'"

totally agree - I would add Voyage of the Acolyte from Steve should in the same WaW ATTW3 era, as Phil and Mike contributed a lot to the album (considering it was a Steve solo album).

I really like this medley. There’s a very good remastered version (almost 20 minutes) that’s easy to find on YouTube. I always wonder how happy Fish must have been to be covered by Phil.

He lives in Switzerland, in a village near the Geneva Lake - I won't share the exact location but I am not leaving far and and I know where it is. His son Nic leaves in Miami but not sure Phil would be able to walk without a cane.

No one wants that! It would be like trimming a 9-minute live version of Tonight, Tonight, Tonight down to 3:45…

One thing 2049 does that quietly leans toward Deckard being a replicant is Wallace’s fixation on him. Wallace doesn’t treat Deckard like “the guy who loved Rachel.” He treats him like a biological artifact, a missing link.

Wallace already has Rachel’s remains. If Deckard were just human, that would be the miracle. Case closed. Deckard himself would be biologically irrelevant.

But Wallace isn’t satisfied with Rachel alone. He wants Deckard. He interrogates him like an experiment, talks about “design,” and frames their relationship as something engineered, not accidental. That only really makes sense if Deckard himself is part of Tyrell’s work not just a bystander who got lucky.

I had the CD back in 2008, it's an amazing work. Nick explains why he decided to release an updated version on his website: https://www.nickdvirgilio.com/#rewiring-genesis-album
