I can. And have! ;) You just need three things: the correct notes, a
two-keyboard tron (although one and a good Hammond will do, I suppose)
and a honkin good sound system.
And who cares if they have a real tron or a very good sampler (which it
is)? When they do "Foxtrot" the samples have even been processed
through a leslie speaker, just like Banks used. These guys can really
do it. I saw Genesis do both shows and TMB nailed each of them when I
saw them last. It really is like seeing Genesis. Even Gabriel said so
when he saw them last year in London.
Alas, that they don't still have the massively talented Pierre Vielleux
with them. THEN you'd have real trons onstage! The guy they have now
(if it's the one with a shaved head) is quite good, though. He actually
plays the parts more accurately than Banks ever could.
