Twere a fun show, and not nearly as cacophonous as one might have expected; it erred on the side of musicality. That's a pretty attractive lineup Genesis has put together for this; he's perhaps the least traditionally photogenic of the lot of them.
At the beginning of the show some doofus in the crowd yelled up, "Whatta ya gonna do fer meeeee?" Genesis shot him this withering look and said, "We're all going to listen to you for two hours because you're sooo interesting."
BTW, if I was truly in persona in my fullest, self-aggrandized glory, as I might have been in the event we all did converge, one of the guys in the crowd might've ended up crippled. He made as though he was trying to pass me, then swerved and stood DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME. I tapped him on the shoulder and said, "Did I really just let you pass so you could block my view?" This eminent metrosexual slurred back, "It's a rock & roll show, dewd."
A beat. Then a beatdown. Jab to the solar plexus, kick to the back of the supporting knee, and Vulcan nerve pinch on the shoulder. Then dance a little on his brain. All the while saying almost apologetically, "Oops, it's a rock & roll show. Hyuk!"
That's what I wanted to do. Instead I stood as close behind him as I could and breathed on him. He eventually made his way forward in the crowd. I don't know whether I can claim credit for that.
I seem to have lost the point. Good show. A friend who was playing keyboards wrote that it was one of the biggest highs of his life. I told him I wanted those shirts they were all wearing. I signed onto the mailing list so I'll keep the locals informed of upcoming gigs.
