The Mellotron Group

I saw them on that tour at the Palace Theater in Waterbury, CT...2nd row, left. The place was only about 1/3 full, but they still played their hearts out. You could almost tell that the end was near, though. It was the first time I saw them live. Saw them twice more in NY and Hartford on the Seconds Out tour. Great shows, even without Gabriel but after Hackett left, I wouldn't pay 2 cents to see them.

I have to admit there is some nice tron in SEBTP but nice tron isn't quite enough, the songs seem a lot stronger in the previous albums "Times Table", "Can utility..." and "Seven Stones" being my favourites.

>             I have learnt to like Genesis, "Foxtrot" and "Nursery Crime" in particular, I am even quite fond of Supper's Ready and if I had to choose between being stuck in a lift listening to it or Lizard, I would choose the former. I didn't care for "Selling Engand by the Pound" and I am not interested in anything post Peter Gabriel, so are there any other albums I might like?
