    Been listening to 'The Lamb' a lot during lockdown II and still think it is a wonderful Genesis album. With my latest system I am now hearing bass content I never knew was there. Still not sure whether I prefer 'Trick of the Tail' though

    Had a chance to give my ancient Stax SR3s a good workout today for the first time since I rebuilt the energiser, so the first time I’ve used them for about ten years.

    First thing I listened to was Nursery Cryme, also for the first time in ages and it struck me that it all came together with The Musical Box. It’s all there. The theatrically, the story telling and the drama, but mostly it’s about how five hugely talented musicians blended themselves into a coherent spine-tingling whole. They did some amazing stuff afterwards on Foxtrot, Selling England and Lamb, but Musical Box was the Zenith. If you wanted to define Gabriel-era Genesis in one track, it would be that one.

    Yeah Shane it is a prog masterpiece indeed and one of that bands highlights. My only comments about A Trick of the Tail were because I think it was one of their most accessible albums from the 70's. Their crowning glory though is Nursery Cryme, gotta be.

    If you haven't already, you must see Steve Hackett performing the old Genesis albums although I dont think he does the Lamb. My favourite track is Carpet Crawlers.

    Jerry, the last time I saw Steve Hackett was back around 1979 with the release of 'Defector'. I have though seen numerous videos on YouTube of the gigs you are referring to. Bloody amazing

    That is a true classic to have as a favourite Jerry.

    I'm never sure whether I like the Gabriel original or the Collins one better.
