Mellotronists

I don't wanna give anyone the wrong idea here. As a musician myself, I DID enjoy the show 
and their pretty accurate Genesis renditions. I just found myself kind of "distant" and not 
emotionally connected like seeing the real deal. I've felt this with just about any "tribute" 
act I've ever seen. Even in "cover" bands I've played with....there's more emotional flow 
when I'm performing original material than someone else's song, which I think is only 
natural. I've been in bands that played Genesis,Crimson,Moodies,Strawbs...and while those 
songs are a lot more fun to play for me than, say, Bob Seger or Rolling Stones....I still feel 
more of that "butt kicking" energy start rolling when an original song is performed. Any 
other musicians here feel the same way?
