The bass drones in 'Watcher' on that would have come from either the Hammond or possibly even from Mike Rutherford's Dewtron bass pedal unit. I acquired one of the latter devices earlier this year- a wierd mixture of indestructible steel chassis, resin-potted electronics and super-flimsy plastic pedals and key contact switches.. works fine though now. It only makes one sound, but it's HUUUUUGE :-)
If I had one shot at time travel I think I would still probably use it to catch an early 70s Genesis gig... or lurk outside a certain Munich beerhall with a BSA fork stanchion...

I don't particularly mind the theatrics, although I do find Gabriel's onstabe manner somewhat grating. I don't know why, exactly.
Again though, better this than the scuffed trainer of indie landfill singer treading on the face of humanity FOREVER.

I have to agree with Mike. The only difference is I do enjoy a lot of the compositions but the stage theatrics leave me cringing.....My point is only that the whole spectacle looks idiotic. I'm pretty sure I would have thought the same thing at age 20 as well.
