They are very good but they are not better than Genesis's classic 5 man line-up. Peter Gabriel did say that they were better - but in typical Gabriel fashion, it was said very much tongue in cheek.
A band called Downing Grey is about to launch. DG pays tribute to all of classic progressive rock. With the excellence great bands like The Musical Box have established DG is bringing the power and exacting pefection of all the bands they cover to the stage. Each night you will hear selections of superb Genesis and you'll be blown away by the Yes, Gentle Giant, King Crimson, Led Zeppelin, ELP, UK, Jethro Tull, Rush, Focus, Pink Floyd. Imagine 10 tributes at once. That's Downing Grey !
Seen these guys so many times and each time i see them is better than the last. Genesis' music goes all the way to my soul and Musical Box plays as well or better than the original members. Even Peter and Phil have made that comment!
Saw them do lamb last night In Louisville, Ky. The band was great !! THe sound man I wanted to track down and slap with a large trout. You could only hear the vocals when everything else got quiet. You could not hear the vocals the whole night !!! My 1st show too. I cant understand how the sound never got dialed in ? What was the soundman hearing ? I left a little disappointed not because the band didnt play well because they always do from what I have watched. You just could not hear the vox.
awesomeness I saw the original show in the early 70's @ Cleveland music hall and these guys sound almost the same! I can't wait to see them! Pater is my all time fav vocalist this dude is REALLY REALLY good
The Musical Box, The Genesis Of A Tribute Band DVD covers the 1972 - 1975 era. DVD available at Tommygun Video, please see youtube channel for more info
I saw them to this show at the Keswick theatre outside Phila a few years for the very first time.I sat in the very first row.I didn't know what to expect.I was so blownaway it was incredible.I will never forget that experience for the rest of my life.It was unreal.Like steepping back into time.
The first (of about 8) time I saw TMB, the thing that stuck out was "You got to get in........", not like Genesis..."You gotta get it"......Denis really enunciated these words.....
This band is amazing! I was 3 when Gabriel left the band, so I grew up listening to( and liking) the 80's version of Genesis. A few years ago at a Marillion concert I got talking with a guy and Genesis came up. He told me of how great they were and so I gave them a listen on you tube( thank you Tommygun!) I became obsessed. I want so badly to see Musical Box live some day
First concert I saw as a 15 year old was "The Lamb" at The Hippodrome In Birmingham in1975. Saw these guys do it at the appollo in manchester 4 years ago. It was like a time trip back through 25 years. Fantastic recreation
you need to understand the passion Quebecer's have for Genesis to understand where this quality might have come from. If you were to speak with Denis, or any of the group, you might at times ask for repetition as English is a far second language. When you hear these artists one would think they might be educated in rural England--they were not--they are Quebecers who love Genesis and the music and the perod
@mrspeed41 Better than the real Genesis?!? Woah! - That's got to be the strangest statement I've ever read! They are a great cover band, and the vocalist does a great Gabriel impression, but honestly. - Any of the old Genesis live clips with Phil on vocals are FAR superior to this! You are obviously free to think othervise, but that's your problem.
@BillBrolse "PETER GABRIEL SAY"...This band is better than the real Genesis...not me!!!! He said that on MuchMusic in Canada...and he even said that they were better than the version with him as a singer!
@mrspeed41 That was very nice of him :-) The early 70's Genesis were not the fantastic live-band they grew to become in the late 70's. Also, regardless of who's voice you prefered, Phil was a much better live singer than Gabriel was.
@rockandroll42 A trick of the tale is fantastic, except for the title track (IMO). Dance on a volcano is one of the very best Genesis songs, as is Squonk and Ripples. If you haven't already, check out the live version of Ripples on Archives#2, Disc-2. It's AMAZING!
I was always a little wary of tribute bands, until I understood that these bands were bringing something to people that they missed. I discovered Genesis shortly after Gabriel left, and missed that most essential line-up. The Musical Box provided me with a chance to see and hear what I missed. They are uncannily accurate by all accounts.
These guys are one of 2 cover bands EVER that impressed me (Dark Star Orchestra-The Gratedul Dead being the other) . I had the pleasure of seeing them do 'Lamb" in toronto-2001/2002? I drove up from Erie PA to go see it. I had chills up and down my spine the whole night-Simply Amazing...
what I meant was I'd like to see someone post a video of them performing CHAMBER OF 32 Doors. I saw them perform THE LAMB in Hollywood a few years ago and they were fantastic. One of the highlights was THE WAITING ROOM.
I saw them in Spain with The Lamb show live! Incredible, I'm a genesis fan and was surpising discover this band. This year I'll go to see them another time.
I've never seen The Musical Box do the lamb tour, but based on these videos it looks awesome. However, i think Denis Gagne does better as Peter Gabriel pre-Lamb with long hair. He looked more like him and I think he had the style and stage presence down for those shows. The Lamb is totally different though as far as vocals, looks, and movements go. Plus I think it would be better if they created the Lamb live version which is more lively and upbeat. Still really good though I am just nitpicking
i have seen these guys several times and they are so worth seeing over and over again. and i am a big genesis fan that went to dozens and dozens of genesis shows all over the states. i am a genesis groupie
