I bought that album and thought it was quite good. Didn't feel like Genesis tho. Reminded me more of Marillion from a certain era. Dave

Curious but what is CAS ?

Sometimes its better to just keep your memories of bands when they were at their peak. Dave

Personally i can but i won't. Few hundred quid for 2 decent seated tickets to see a band is too much and i grudge it nowadays. For those on low incomes i'm guessing it could be out of their range too. I am a Genesis fan from a past era but not enough of a fan to pay that. I've seen them before in 82 and loved it but i would rather go see a decent tribute at a smaller more intimate venue these days. I guess if you are a true Genesis fan you'll find the money to pay it. Dave

Sorry to hear that George. Might be worth putting on the Central belt music gear FB page if they allow it to be posted. Hope you get it back. I'll share with friends on FB who play regularly in that area. Was it at a venue or home. All the best Dave

Its been a few yrs since i was last at a large concert venue. Probably Rush Time Machine or Clockwork Angels Tour in Glasgow and had a seat directly behind sound desk and don't recall it being hugely expensive at the time. I had £35 in my head but that may have been the previous tour. I do remember them asking a ridiculous price the one 2 yrs after and tickets started at £65 i think same venue and i passed on that To be fair Rush do put on a good show and will play for approx 2-3hrs Dave

If that's what ticket prices are like then i'll be giving it a miss too. Pretty sure they will sell out no matter what the price. Some artists have lost touch with reality of everyday life and the fact that it was the younger and poorer fans that made them so popular back in their heyday. Kinda disgusts me when i see this. Dave

One of the nicest guys in the business. IMHO. So he's had a few probs over the years. He's still battling his health issues so i'm happy to give him a break. He's given me so much enjoyment over the years i feel i owe him that even as a mark of respect. Seconds Out was my fav era of Genesis and for me they were at their peak for that tour. Phil's first couple of solo albums started off with so much power and energy they will always be part of my fav albums. I only saw them on the Duke tour and thought Phil stole the show. Great singer, great drummer and a sense of humour on stage and great to watch. If ticket prices are reasonable i'll probably go again. I'll always have the image of Phil from late 70's / early 80's era. Dave

Sorry to hear that. Such a shame when the band is doing so well too. Dave

Looks like a great night was had. Why is the guitarist leaving. You pull in a big crowd when you play. Seems a bit odd to leave a successful band. Good luck with guitarist search. Dave

We did that song before keys player was bumped but doesn't sound the same without keys so dropped it. Virginia Plain is gonna be a trial and see song without keys but guitarist is confident we can pull it off. Maybe he is gonna play keys in this one. Dave

At least you got another band pretty quick so well done there. Wish you all the best in the new band. Let us know how it goes. Dave

I can guess who that was. He's always been a bad influence on bass players. He's a top bloke even tho he's a guitarist. Some things you just can't excuse Once you're in the Horse & Jockey there's no escaping.

Less hair but far better looking basses. 👍 Dave

You'll get no sympathy here sir. That'll teach you.

Concentration and focus @Bilbo

Mains voltage sound transmission.

I thought they had developed a new system in US without telling us in UK.

Not quite sure what you mean by going direct into the mains with no amps ?

Chamomile tea gives a softer more relaxed tone more suited for soft ballads.

If i use Scottish Blend will it affect the tone ?

Cant imagine how you manage to do that. ? I always put a 90 degree bend then cut about an inch from the bend. Push the end down the post centre hole and then wind the string round the post.

I played my Jazz thru the Markbass head into my Berg HT322 cab and it sounded big and deep compared to thru the 1x12" Markbass cabs. For me it seems to be their lightweight cabs that were the problem. Dave
