I’m sure you’ll be eager to know that they’ll be in Manchester (Old Trafford) on 8 July.

One of the best comments I ever read about 80s-era Genesis was a negative review of their eponymous album which concluded: “Well, at least you can’t say they’re stuck in a rut anymore.”

The irony of that statement should be self-evincing.

Difficult to imagine what new music from the 1974 lineup would sound like. Gabriel, Hackett and the other three have moved in three completely different directions since the 70s.

It wouldn’t sound anything like they did in 1974, though. Anyone expecting Lamb II would not get what they expected.

“It wouldn’t even surprise me if it’s a flop”

Well, the 1998 tour was….

I heard that Peter G. opted out of a reunion at this stage, rather than declining outright.

But yes; it’s a horrible idea unless it a) involves the 1974 line-up and b) involves new music.

Oh, I’m sure this will be all over the media. They’ll play to their adoring crowds of forty-somethings.

I mean, really, don’t you want to dance to Paperlate again?

Man, I’ll take post-Fish Marillion from the .com period, over this. That’s scary.
