I can't believe that neither. but hey thanx

Hey I don't mind Ray, he has his place in Genesis history, it just unfutunately came at the end where Tony and Mike were tired of touring and really didn't want to start all over. Hypothetically speaking, they should had gotten Fish for lead singer, that would of pulled in a lot of Prog fans in from both band's fan bases, and if they put an Prog album out like Nursery Cryme they would had hit pay dirt - I'm just dreaming. I was a little put out when Chester ask to be a full memeber in the band at the time of Station to Station came out, but Tony and Mike said no. I thought he paid his dues.

I don't care for Trey or Phish so I wasn't motivated to playt those vids tonight tonight oh but if you want to know the best tribute band of Genesis imo it is The Musical Box from Canada - to some just like the real thing to others better then the real thing. I found these interesting, maybe you won't maybe you will, but it's all this behind the scenes stuff for a tribure band (it's like a hobby gone out of control,) they really did their best to reproduce the experience of seeing Genesis live in the 1970's.
