I've seen Gabriel, but never Genesis. Didn't want to after Wind and Wuthering.

I had fourth row tickets, stage left, for that show. It was great...

Too pricey, too far away...too sad for me.

On the bright side, the guys state expressly that they are talking with Gabriel and Hackett about touring The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in the future.

This would pretty much make me need to change *two* pairs of shorts.

Is this due to what happens to the back of your shorts or the front?

Interestingly, there is no corporate sponsor attached to the Turn It on Again tour, top seats for which will sell for $225. "We're not doing it for the money, let's face it," Collins said. "We're not trying to come out of this with a fistful of dollars. It's very rewarding to know there's still people out there that liked us the first time around."

OK then, how about charging 10 bucks a seat?

Because none of the other entities involved will have anything to do with a show that doesn't gross a couple of million before shirts, concessions and other intangibles get involved.

Big shows cost big bucks to produce, but they also gross hugely. Make no mistake...Genesis will sell out every show on this tour, even at huge prices.

Now call me a cynic (go on I dare ya) but is Mr Collins not had a recent divorce settlement to cough up ?
