And Then There Were Three...
...hours until the concert starts!
Don't worry. This is only going to be Genesis Central this weekend only. I figure no one really reads this blog on the weekends except a few of my buddies, who won't mind me obsessing over my favorite band, and all those people who get here because they think they're going to get an eyeful of cartoon porn. Too bad for them!
Billy Pilgrim (one of the aforementioned buddies of mine and possibly a cartoon porn googler -- one never knows) emailed me about the Genesis set tonight and said...
"At one point you are going to be VERY happy."
What? Yay! VERY? All caps? Wheeeeeeeeee!
That could only mean three things. Billy knows of two, I know.
It could mean they are going to play this, a song written specifically for me...
Or, bestill my heart, this...
Sigh. Either one of those songs would be so. great.
Billy doesn't know this, I don't think, but, if they played this...
One of my very favorite songs ever, I would die a happy cartoon porn googleree.
We're getting ready to head downtown. The Skimmer's got his Buckeye Card and we're ready to progressively rock and roll.
Billy, if you read this tonight, leave the set list in the comments so I can compare your list to the real set list that I am going to be experiencing before you!
Ha, ha, HA!
Oh, and please tell me they're going to open with this...
We're outta here. Can you tell I might be expecting just a little too much? Nah. Just expecting to be born again.
Later losers!
Well, you allowed me to do spoilers this time, so I'm gonna tell you things you're not going to like:
No Mad Man Moon.
No opening with Dance On A Volcano. As AG would say, that is so 1977.
Behind the lines to open.
And yes, you're gonna get both Ripples and Carpet Crawl. Unless you losers don't do your job and they don't do an encore.
Here's the set list:
Behind The Lines / Duke’s End
Turn It On Again
No Son Of Mine
Land Of Confusion
In The Cage / The Cinema Show / Duke’s Travels
Afterglow
Hold On My Heart
Home By The Sea / Second Home By The Sea
Follow You Follow Me
Firth Of Fifth / I Know What I Like
Mama
Ripples
Throwing It All Away
Domino
Drum Duet
Los Endos
Tonight Tonight Tonight (intro)
Invisible Touch
I Can’t Dance
The Carpet Crawlers
and here's my prediction: The band will play it EXACTLY. Unfortunately, it takes so much effort to work up the music to their standards, plus they are old farts and forgot so much, that they couldn't build any options in.
2 1/2 hours. Go to the bathroom during Hold On My Heart.

It was Jennifer, thanks!
Where in the heck is Billy P?
There are several things that are in serious need of discussion!

Glad you had a great time. I know the excitement -- a couple years ago, I flew out to Virginia to go see Rush with my best friend. We've been fans since we were in sixth grade. You're so right about the excitement of that first opening note.

Did you wear the Stevie Fuckin' Nicks shirt with the Phil/Sting-man the Skimmer?
