I think the similarity thing is why I haven't bothered picking up any new releases from Steve since Wolflight. And I hate to say, I've purchased every live DVD he's released, but it may be a case of overload for me.
Part of the problem is he is releasing so much music and then touring and creating a DVD. Which is fine, and he does try to offer variety, but the Genesis stuff has been done til I've turned green, and I've even gotten to the point of skipping those songs and forwarding to his solo material.
I've said it before, I think the collaboration with Roger also being the producer is responsible for some of this "sameness) feeling we are getting.
I would love for him to get uncomfortable and have an outside producer come in and push both him and Roger out of the comfort zone, and put some fresh ears on these new albums.
He DOES put on a great live show tho, and both my wife and I rank the Wolflight show we saw in Clearwater as one of the best concerts we've seen..period.
