I remember tomorrow
Also, if Peter has any sense of dignity (which I'm pretty sure he does), he wouldn't wear the costumes, which I imagine would annoy a lot of fans, as well.
He said in at least one interview he didn't even want to "revisit the past" in 82. He did it more as a means of getting himself out of debt.2007 was a good time to wrap it up. Gabriel is a stick in the mud anyway, and he would never agree to do a retrospective tour. He did the Milton Keynes one off show reluctantly and only for charity reasons back in 82.
Yep, I don't see him at his age donning the Britannia, the Slipperman, the Fox Head and red dress, or the Suppers Ready "infinity" costumes, etc, and seeing an old balding grey bearded guy sing many of those tunes with those theatrical images already burned into the memory just wouldn't "capture the magic" in quite the same fashion. I even get a little uncomfortable in the Hackett shows watching Nad Sylvan sing those tunes with a minimal amount of face paint.
Just so happens i put "6" on yesterday and it held up pretty darn well. Grateful i got to see them at Nearfest.
regarding bucket list mine went unfulfilled, I really wanted to see Mose Allison, XTC and Toots Theilemans but those ships have sailed.
If i ever have the opportunity to see Pugwash and The Wondermints i'll be thrilled, the current Jeff Lynne's ELO would be great too.
Never seen Roine Stolt live. That needs to be corrected. Hopefully The Sea Within will tour the US. But I'd rather see The Flower Kings or Transatlantic...
The Prog Corner
I'd love to see a Steve Hackett show with a guest appearance from ANY member of the classic Genesis line-up.
Best would be PG turning up to sing The Musical Box - he could wear a "Young Man" mask for the early verses!
It won't happen.
