In defense of Genesis

Genesis : Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins and Tony Banks play the Hollywood Bowl Oct.

I'd just like to point out that Genesis does NOT play Phil Collins' solo material on tour and never have. So "Against All Odds" as a Collins solo song, doesn't even fit into the argument.

And what a lot of people overlook is the three albums Genesis recorded between Gabriel's departure and Duke, all of which turned out some of the best Collins-era material and are well represented on the current tour.

Oh, and the dates for the show are Oct. 12-13, not 5-6.

With me being Genesis' biggest fan, I must clear up two mistakes made in this article/post.

1) Phil's solo songs have NEVER been included in Genesis concerts. Phil has played "Misunderstanding" (a Genesis song he wrote) in his solo concerts.

2) It was Mike Rutherford behind "Mike & The Mechanics".(Was inadvertently credited to Banks)

If you dispute this, feel free to fly me out to LA and have me stay at a 5 star hotel for a week. I wouldn't mind that..

The first album with Phil singing lead -'Trick Of The Tail'(1976) and 'Wind And Wuthering'(1977) are, in my opinion the BEST Genesis albums!
