Hey Dave, Dan here. Wow, I didn't realize all these clips were up on Youtube now. I was just going to post my copy of Musical Box but found Boropolis already did. I could never get tired of watching the VHS Kevin made for me, but I fear I'll wear it out some day, so glad to see these are all here. This night (and the 2 weeks of cramming rehearsals leading up to it) are some of my fondest memories. Cheers!
It's different. Kevin is being Kevin's Rael (his fantasy) and we're all being ourselves too just showing our obvious Genesis style influences (Nick plays like Phil etc.). We DID make Dan sit down and wear the black rim glasses as a joke though. (He doesn't normally but Hackett did in earlier Genesis gigs which we thought was funny). But, what Musical Box does that I love (seeing them in LA) is they imitate it - the look of the original show, a squint and pretend it's Genesis... That's fun too!
@sonicreality Plus they put more effort into their Slipperman outfit. I'll tell you though it was HILARIOUS when Kevin first walked in with his. We didn't know he was going to do it and we were in the middle of rehearsal playing the song when he walked back in the room with that silly mask and we had to prevent the laughter from stopping us playing... we didn't have time because we only had one complete run through before we did this gig (which is crazy thinking back). KG was fun that way.
@sonicreality Btw this is Dave. I sometimes post as Sonic Reality (my sound company) because of sheer laziness to login as me. But it's me. :) I'm working on a KG cover right now actually and also a Peter Gabriel cover that Francis Dunnery is going to sing. I'm doing a whole bunch of covers with Sonic Reality drum tracks (some of which are played by Nick D'Virgilio who plays in this video).
Amazing. Kevin Gilbert amazes me, really admiring his talent (the original Giraffe stuff is also astonishing!)/ And yes, this tops The Musical Box, cause of frontman and better musicians.

@rhayader0625 Hey Dan. Yeah I agree those are some incredible memories. I'm sending you a private message. Got an idea. ;)

GET ME OUT OF THIS FUCKING CAGE!!
What a performance. Has Peter said anything about how good Kevin interpreted the songs of this album?
Also. Is it true he had schedule a meeting with Mike and Tony right before he died?
