A couple of jazzers took along their grandchildren - someone should call social services! As for 'intelligent rock' - perish the thought!
I was thinking of you Russell. Torrid times ahead for the prog-rock non believer.
Incidentally, the photo doesn't do justice to the lighting during the vocal section of Cinema Show. While some prefer to jump up and down and be spat at, this really was like being in a fairy story, a fantasy novel, a Shakespeare play.
Magnifico.
Steve - many thanks for the (thrilling) review. Maybe I need to revise my long held opinions, of Genesis that is, as I've always been a prog rock believer! My taste was more Crimson, Yes and Softs than the public schoolboys of Genesis.
Maybe there is an authentic side of Genesis to reprise, the Gabriel/Hackett side rather than the schmaltzy Phil Collins excesses? Please advise!
And is there really a Prog Rock Renaissance in train?
Crimson and particularly Yes should be an easy shoe-in for Genesis; both bands were enormously influenced by King Crimson. It's one of the eternal questions: Weather Report or Mahavishnu? Stravinsky or Shostakovich? Genesis or Yes?
Don't be put off by the toffiness, like the Royals, it wasn't their fault. Gabriel is a remarkable man who, like McLaughlin, Corea and Zawinul (?Jarrett) doesn't see colour (according to Miles (who did)). Tony Banks was the real talent in the band and the biggest d!ck was working-class clown Phil (great drummer though).
Definitely SEBTP plus its predecessor Foxtrot, with their only side-long piece, Supper's Ready, perhaps the best of the genre.
The following album - Lamb Lies Down - was Peter's last and their Topographic Oceans, but Carpet Crawlers is wonderful, with In the Cage not far behind.
If you don't already know them, check out Magma, Henry Cow and Jade Warrior, all on the jazzy side and Tull are worth checking out, the proggiest being Thick as a Brick with one track spread over both sides of an album (vinyls), though Benefit and Aqualung are great too.
Definitely a revival, with a monthly (? bi-monthly) mag and literally hundreds of new bands, though none are likely to get near the classics and I'd struggle to recommend one. Dream Theater are/were serious musicians and are superb live if you can stomach prog-metal.
