The Mellotron Group

Unfortunately I didn't see Genesis with Gabriel at the Auditorium Theater
but I did see the Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering shows at that
amazing theater. Tony- Are you located near Chicago?

I was lucky enough to see "The Lamb Lies down on Broadway" at the auditorium
theatre in Chicago about a month before Gabriel left, and have been a fan
since.

Prefer Gabriel over Collins to be sure, I listen to the music and not much
of the vocals, period.

Just never have with any bands and prefer instrumentals, no surprise eh?

What a venue!

Thanks Tony, Peter Gabriel was still there for "Selling England by the
Pound" . The later Genesis doesn't appeal to me as it seems to be primarily
aimed towards what would sell and of course it did.

 In "Selling England by the Pound" I think I can hear the first signs of
that change which makes me think that perhaps Foxtrot is the last album for
me. 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 think "The Lamb lies down.." is the next album and I wondered if SEBTP was
a "blip" or  the start of a trend.

Mark the wealth of good music made by post Gabriel Genesis, I suggest you
retry them.

Selling England by the Pound is a personal favorite, def one of the best
post PG releases, imho.

I'm afraid it you are unable to warm up to that album, you might just not
have anything left you'll like.

I hope this is not true!

Good luck and keep listening!

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?
