Hackett must be a TMB fan.

Jim De Rogatis is an excellent music critic.  One of the best in the US 
IMO.

Good article/review.

One sentence I did not understand, can someone explain:

"And bassist Sebastien Lamothe was great, too, though I found it 
disconcerting that the faux-Mike Rutherford was actually a dead 
ringer for the real-life Hackett. Maybe plastic surgery would help."

Thanks,
Arthur

from the article:
"Licensed to perform the work by its heroes, these guys obtained more 
than 1,000 original slides that Genesis used as backdrops during its 
tour; scoured the world for the exact vintage instruments..."  

We all know of one vintage instrument that they do not use.  One of 
the Mellotron companies needs to make TMB an offer they can't 
refuse.  Call it an "advertising expense".

O.k. thanks for the explanations sent off-list; so deadringer means 
look-alike.

The fact that he (bassist) played left-handed did bother me more, 
actually, when I saw TMB last year doing Selling England.
