    I’ve been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that I didn’t really understand any of their work, all the albums before Duke seemed too artsy, too intellectual . It was Duke where Phil Collins’ presence became more apparent, and the music got more modern, the drum machine became more prevalent and the lyrics started getting less mystical and more specific.

    Invisible Touch is the group’s undisputed masterpiece. It’s an epic meditation on intangibility, at the same time it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. It has a resonance that keeps coming back at the listener. All in all it ranks with the finest rock ‘n’ roll achievements of the decade and the mastermind behind this album, along of course with the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford, is Hugh Padgham, who has never found as clear and crisp and modern a sound as this. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument.

    what took you so long?

    extra dates added in the UK.

    I went to see Phil in Aviva a few years back with my 11 year old daughter ... she loved it .. "Best concert ever!!" Only problem is she loves "Sussudio" now which I hate! and she plays it any chance she gets!

    can't wait to bring her to Genesis now! I think we got half decent seats in 3 pre sale

    What album would Genesis fans recommend to someone who doesn't have any of their albums?

    For the post Gabriel line up, I'd start with Duke, then Abacab and then Genesis, then And Then There Were Three.

    You can leave Invisible Touch and We Can't Dance at your own discretion.

    Their sound has evolved considerably over the years. The previous suggestion of Duke is definitely the place to start

    If you are interested in the Gabriel era I'd start with Selling England by the Pound

    They're all on Spotify

    Invisible Touch is worth it alone for "The Brazilian" and as for We Can't Dance well ignoring the pop singles "Fading Lights" is a great tune along with Phil Collin's "Driving the Last Spike" a great song abut Irish navvies building the railways.

    A Trick of The Tail is another fine Phil Collins led album.

    Difficult to choose 1 but I've managed to narrow it down to 3 - on another day I could easily have picked Foxtrot or Nursery Cryme

    A Trick of the Tail would be my first pick - First post Peter Gabriel album but still very proggy

    Selling England By The Pound - Genesis at their absolute peak for me. Firth of Fifth is a masterpiece


    Genesis from 83 - Mama and the 2 Home By the sea songs are amazing

    Wouldn't choose any album after that unless you're more into pop than prog rock

    jaysus, just did a youtube search of collins recent performances, came across this one from Hyde Park.
    What a depressing sight, zero passion, not even a smile, just an old man sat there singing a song.

    I've outlined the reasons for this before .
    Dublin is an extremely lucrative market for gigs , so bands will mostly play mid week gigs here as they know they will sell well.
    The weekend slots are kept for the weaker markets .

    The 3Arena was the ninth busiest Arena in the world in 2019 by volume of tickets sold and 10th highest grossing.
    For its size ,it is the busiest venue in the world.

    The 2004 3 CD Platinum Collection is the best "best of" though its sequenced in a reverse chronological order (apart from the fact that ...Calling All Stations...' title track is at the end of the first disc) for the purpose of providing precedence to the newer material.
    https://open.spotify.com/album/3we7A7UllAuA6QH6U9jmHs?si=AasK9tq7QXa0XwPhYBfYhw

    There is a newer 3 CD chronological order release called R-kive which mixes in solo material from all 5 key members solo career's which is helpful in seeing how the solo music fits with the band music especially in late 70s and the 80s.
    https://open.spotify.com/album/7Jigl7PJCgN4mAODbJYkFT?si=dMXJh1VKRoO5v1HLp5b_4w

    I've combined both into one spotify list though

    Blondie and Mike and the Mechanics opened for Phil Collins in the Aviva. I'd have nearly paid for those two alone, huge bonus!

    The album and tour was a bit of a disaster- sales wise at least, “Calling All Stations” was the album, without Phil - it just didn’t work for fans

    I have to agree with Bateman about the 70's stuff.. Its the type of music you'd imagine neckbeards playing Magic The Gathering would listen to.

    Not my cup of tea ,personally.

    All the 80's stuff is great though.. Home By The Sea , Tonight, Tonight , Tonight , Duchess ... Fantastic tracks.

    No strangely enough. I thought they might do one or two.

    By the way even though he sat through the whole thing Phil's voice was still excellent and it was a very good concert.

    Following on from McLoughlin's mention of Spotify reminded me that Prog magazine asked readers for their favourite Genesis songs. They've put the top 40 into this Spotify playlist. Another excellent place to start...

    I didn't actually realise that till you pointed it out but now it's obvious. Not much to disagree with either

    I'd be surprised if there was a 2nd gig, they will struggle to sell out at those prices.

    Dublin and Belfast are getting 2nd dates ,info was already leaked.
    Big gaps between the dates anyway ,easy to see the extra dates .
    2 dates in Dublin is only 20k , they will easily sell that and sell it quickly.

    According to a friends brother, he said loads of people didn't know the tickets went general sale Monday and when they went into T/M on Friday saw there were only VIP for sale on there and assumed they had sold out!
    Looking at Viagogo, people have paid some insane prices for tickets on there if they are right, €750 for Flat seating, €600 for Block D, Block A €350. :eek:
