Review:Genesis Concert(For Those Who Know)
Last night Genesis played at bmo field.
This is a board that discusses music.
Musical genius was played at bmo field.
I've seen Phil Collins before and knew that he could perform. But I didn't realize how talented the rest of the band was.
In normal concerts where bands go on never-ending guitar solo's showcasing how well they know the star spangled banner things might get a little dry.
But with these guys it was a group of musicians who were so gifted at their instruments...keyboards, bass, and of course the drums, that these jam sessions turned into the strength of the whole concert.
The Genesis Hits, like Invisible Touch, I Can't Dance and Land of Confusion, while incredible in themselves acted as mere bridges for them going on absolute incredible journey's.
Phil Collins was equally as talented singing as he was drumming.
The Show highlighted by a moment where everyone left the stage and Phil and Chester(the other drummer)began playing on a bar stool.
As the two of them started doing marching band like rhythms with one another then Collins'one arm began playing the beats on the railing. The railing turned into the back of the drumset, and then they worked their way around to the drumset where after maintaining incredible percussion playing railings, bar stools and the back of drumsets, they actually stood in at the drums, and climaxed with a 6 minute drum duet.
I couldn't have been more impressed with the show.
Here's the drum solo.
Magikb and I thoroughly pissed off the people sitting next to us by dancing through the entire show. Who sits down at a genesis concert?
And we partied with Jenn's parents to top it all off.
