saw The Musical Box (Genesis cover band) here in Oberhausen, Germany
yesterday night. If you liked Genesis back 30 years ago, go see this band
when you have a chance. I couldn't believe how good they were, and how
perfectly they did the Selling England show. I knew from a video that this
guy who does Peter Gabriel was pretty good at it - what I didn't expect was
that the guy who plays Phil Collins was even better - not just his drumming
but even his voice when he sang was so close to the original that I couldn't
tell the difference. And yes, they had a tron of course, played masterfully.


As I said recently (and as John has just said), it's a sampler mounted in a
Mellotron-shaped box. So you didn't think they gave a lifeless, soulless
'performance'? More wooden than an M400 cabinet.
