From earlier this month in Rolling Stone magazine....
Phil Collins is contemplating reviving his long-dormant music career. "I have started thinking about doing new stuff," he said at the premiere of the Tarzan musical in Stuttgart, Germany. "[Maybe playing] some shows again, even with Genesis. Everything is possible. We could tour in Australia and South America. We haven't been there yet.

    And Peter Gabriel's reaction to Phil's possible comeback....
    "Good! I think he got himself into a bit of a hole, and that’s great news he’s coming out of it. It doesn’t have to involve work – but if it does, that’s a great indicator.”

    As for the possibility of Peter Gabriel doing a Genesis reunion tour....
    “It’s never been ruled out. I’m trying to picture a time when it would top my priorities list though. If you’re gonna do it, you gotta do it before you’re all dead, right? I was thinking about that the other day. We’re quite lucky – looking back at other bands of our generation, there’s usually one or two missing now. So you do get a sense of the clock.”

    Two people I'd love to see in person and never got the chance, Phil Collins and David Gilmour. I mean, like I'd pay actual money to see either of them :)

    The should do it. They would make a gazillion dollars and put out some great stuff as well.

    I saw Genesis with Peter Gabriel. My guess is they wouldn't sound as good today as they did in 1972. I am dating myself with that statement LOL!.

    I also saw the Doors, TWICE! And the Who with Keith Moon, Led Zepplin with Jon Bonham! Where did the time go?

    I was under the impression Phil Collins was pretty much a basket case of physical ailments these days. Deaf, bad arthritis...not exactly conducive to another tour.

    I would absolutely be there if Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett were involved in the Geneseis tour! Absolutely!! Steve Hackett is a better guitar player now than he was when he was with Genesis. It would be an amazing concert to see! :smile:

    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Always loved Phil's drumming. Deceptively difficult to pull off; tasteful too.

    Absolutely Fred! Phil was a fantastic drummer, especially on "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway"!

    Unfortunately, I don't think he could do the drumming parts nearly as well today. Just not enough practice.....

    I envy you but damn you are O L D.

    I'd like to see them and I bet Phil and the rest still have their respective chops. Maybe not the high notes but enough to sell it....kinda like Robert Plant.

    Hendrix and Janis in 1969. I distinctly remember this show. About halfway through it I started worrying that my head wasn't going to make it through any of the exit doors when it was time to leave.
