Just got home from the gig. As expected, a spectacular set, with an over 2 1/2 hour show. All musicians sounded great, but the stand-outs were drummer/vocalist Gary O'Toole and Hackett himself who played superbly. Nad Sylvan pulled off Gabriel and Collins fairly well but couldn't reach the high notes of either. The sold-out crowd was very enthusiastic and loved every moment, with many standing ovations after songs. I can't remember every set list song, or exact order, but what was presented was IMO the cream of the crop of essential songs from the prog-Genesis catalog. They included Eleventh Earl Of Mar, Chamber of 32 Doors, Broadway Melody of 1974, Entangled, Dancing With The Moonlit Knight, Firth of Fifth, I Know What I Like, Dance On A Volcano, Musical Box, A Medley that included segments from three Hackett solo songs, which merged into Los Endos, In that Quiet Earth.../Afterglow, Blood On The Rooftops, Supper's Ready, Watcher Of The Skies. Is there any I missed? Anyway a 'frick'n' great experience seeing those timeless songs come alive once more. Thanks Papa J for bringing Steve and his fantastic tour to Southern California.
