New Adventures was the last good one. I saw them at Brixton Academy in 2003 and it was some anniversary of recording Fables of the Reconstruction so they played Feeling Gravity's Pull/Maps and Legends/Driver 8/Life and How To Live It - after that they could have played anything from Up or Reveal and it wouldn't have mattered

The Best of Rush

Most alliterative band-member names ever

A side effect of going to the signing is that I now have two copies. Anyone want my unsigned copy? Probably first edition but I'd have to check. £20 to you and happy to meet somewhere south/south-east London to exchange (eg Waterloo, London Bridge etc). I've flicked through it a couple of times before getting exhausted at its weight, so it's still in extremely good nick.

World Naked Bike Ride day has just passed the front of Waterstones Piccadilly, which helped pass the time

I was pretty much at the back of the queue at a Brian May signing for his "Woo, Space" book and by that time he was clearly knackered but with the end in sight he was ok to take a bit more time to talk. And he was quite happy to see my copy of the Star Fleet Project EP rather than another Greatest Hits or The Works.

Book included. Full bumpf here https://events.waterstones.com/events/meet-geddy-lee/

Not got yours yet? Ged's doing a UK (and europe) signing tour, the UK appearances are in London and Glasgow (Waterstones) and Manchester (Blackwells) £60 gets you a ticket for the signing plus the book. Already got the book and want to get it signed? no can do

New Moon have always been really good at understanding whatever I throw at them (not literally), and really friendly to deal with. Cover for a mix of instruments/amps/pedals/other bits with individually assigned usage (ie home, UK, abroad), and in-car cover, worth well into 5 figures comes in at less than £150. As always an insurance company only measures up when you make a claim, which thankfully I've not had to do yet.

Scott Devine needs to look out for this guy. Not sure about those fiddly bits either

And Lenny Henry

Joking, right?

I think it'd be terrible - and as far as Peter Gabriel is concerned at least, lets concentrate on getting some original material out before considering putting a slipperman costume on again eh.

Does the cab work with other amps? And does the Trace combo's amp section happily power other cabs? (you should be able to unplug it from the combo's speaker at the back, my Trace had a couple of speaker out sockets on the back) And how did you connect the combo to the extension cab?

Oh thank god he said (ok implied) they go out of time in the intro. I've always found it impossible to play along to, unlike the Seconds Out version which is metronomic thanks to Chester in the back.

btw going off topic but have a look at Rick's videos with his son Dylan. eg "Perfect Pitch: The World's Greatest Ear" is 1m26s of wtf howdhedodat.

I love Rick Beato, but I find his WMTSG series is more What Are The Constituent Parts Of This Song rather than why they're Great. Watching it now. I wonder if he'll point out that the 12-string's high E pair is actually tuned to a D which makes it a million times easier to play.

I recall an interview with Tony Banks that said that (early on at least) they treated live albums as much as a "best of" rather than a document of a full concert (or at least a full setlist, gleaned from multiple gigs, like Live Over Europe). Bootlegs are you friends for full gig recordings of course.

Yep, seen both several times as well. As a classic Genesis fan I'm sure you'll enjoy the show! As mentioned before it's great theatre, and a massive nostalgia fest. (regarding Steve Hackett, ditto the latter as well. unless he plays the "new stuff" ie after * insert preferred cut off date here * )

Agreed - Beggsy is great but Lee Pomeroy's playing was spot on in Hackett's band. Jonas Reingold is doing a pretty good job as well.

For roughly the same ticket price, actual Steve Hackett wins hands down for me (despite Nad Sylvan)

Yes I've never understood why they do the "studio" version "live"

So they're a Genesis studio tribute rather than a Genesis live tribute. Kind of verifies what I've been told previously

Why though? (singer playing bass that is)

Yes, I'm a spotter/sniffer as well.
