By the way, whoever said "Was this Cohl's idea?" I don't know if they were kidding, but it turns out...Cohl IS the promoter! |

Cohl has become the most powerful rock promoter in history.

but unlike Bill Graham, he will not be honored. His legacy will be that of greed. Where Graham walked the fine line of being able to give to the fans and still take care of the bands. He cared about the music and nurtured many acts.

Unfortunately, my jizz is not forthcoming.
It would be, if they were going to be playing selections from these albums (all of which are awesome, if you like the whole pretentious prog rock thing like me):
Trespass
Nursery Cryme
Selling England By the Pound
Lamb Lies Down On Broadway
Trick Of the Tail
Unfortunately, it will just be more pathetic selections from:
Duke
Abacab
Genesis (self titled)
Invisible Touch
We Can't Dance
Apparently they were inches away from having a real reunion (including Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett) and doing the Lamb in its entirety, but Gabriel pussed out at the last minute.
Don't cry, Sway. It might happen in the future.

The man who single handedly killed rock n roll
He is the music world's equivalent of Don King.
And THAT isn't a good thing.

I still think that they (Stones, others) could have made even MORE millions, particularly on this last tour, by better estimation of the demand. Selling more seats, even at less per ticket, can still equal the same amount.
That, plus they end up with more respect. Seems like a no brainer to me. But I didn't do the math - maybe Cohl had it perfect.

THEY MISCALCULATED THE DEMAND, BUT STILL CAME OUT WAY AHEAD BY PLAYING STADIUMS TO 30K AS OPPOSED TO ARENAS OF 12K. |

treating their fans like idiots?? Is that what they want? Because the fan clubs, deluxe packages and hot seat packaging and all the other crap is just insulting to the fans. Obviously they just look at us as herds of brainless sheep with giant wallets. |

....and helping them destroy what credibility they have left - but hey, as long as they make enough cash at all costs to see them through those next difficult 5,000 years up ahead, thats the main thing.
It's only rock'n' roll, apparently....

Obviously Phil Collins has few fans here, and I've never been a big fan either, I have 1 old Genesis cassette somewhere collecting dust. But I would go see them IF they played a small venue and the tickets were cheap, but def not Giants Stadium, I doubt they will be able to sell 80,000 tickets! MSG would have been a better venue IMO.
however,,,
It COULD be a good night out, at a theatre gig or a club show, and at the right price (under $50!). But stadiums or arenas, no thanks!
I see no ticket prices on this thread....that will make or break this tour! If it's a wallet-buster then it's doomed!

There won't be much interest in a band that hasn't done anything in 20 years. Phil's most recent activity was writing a tepid Broadway musical based on Disney's Tarzan cartoon. |

I'm not big into prog rock, and never will be. But I do enjoy Gabriel's work for the most part. One of the most underrated singers because when he wanted to sing the rock stuff, he was excellent (Genesis proved this and in his solo career he is really impressive vocally on songs like "Modern Love," "On the Air," "D.I.Y" "Perspective," "And Through the Wire," "I Don't Remember" and "Shock the Monkey"). His first 3 albums were good with PG III being a classic, while his last 3 less so (not including the good soundtrack to Last Temptation of Christ-called Passion).
Hell, he's only done 3 studio works in the past 21 years. I'm guessing the more mainstream overtones that hurt his big smash 86 album So, was a result of maybe a bit of competition when he saw all the hits his replacement was having with his old band and on his own. Genesis under Gabriel was ok, but was just crap under Collins and it only got worse from his takeover. While Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering followed thed old formula and weren't all that bad, And Then There Were Three sucks and Duke and Abacab are just lame.
They were barely a prog rock band anymore by the time the lousy Genesis and Invisible Touch were dropped like an unsuspecting bomb. We Can't Dance is pretty shitty stuff too. Their pop stuff had som tricky arrangements in the early 80s before going totally soft. "Turn it on Again" is a decent song and I believe it's in 5/4. Collins is a good singer too, not quite Gabriel but still. But his songwriting is as maudlin and poppy as they come. Collins' solo work=even worse!
