Happy to hear others have enjoyed these fine shows. Never got to see
Genesis before the Trick of the Tail tour so these tribute shows were
welcome indeed. Held in the historical Pabst Theater in Milwaukee, no
less. There should have been free beer you'd think.
I recommend any of their shows if you'd like an authentic peek at what
Genesis was doing in the early 70's, both musically and theatrically.
For the Lamb show, I had a direct line-of-site to the keyboard player's
hands and it was truly deja vu. The fact that the drummer and vocalist
were dead ringers for Phil and Peter was just icing on the gravy. All
the musicianship was just, well...perfect.
