Phil Collins is undoubtedly a great drummer and a VERY hard act to follow - but these guys were competent. BUT - the cautious approach by the rest of the band makes it sound like the real Genesis on an "Off-Night". Where's the fluidity of the keyboards? The understated raunch of the guitars? The passion? It's a cover. It sounds like it. Good. Not great. Woudl have preferred to hear a Dream Theater cover - so it is STAMPED with an attitude or flavour.
Singer is good, and having seen the real Genesis play this, I dind't think the guitar solos were bad at all. The drumming, on the other hand, was diabolical.
I liked this video. I too am in cover band that does YES , Genesis and Pink Floyd. The Darryl Stermer shows had the guitars of the gods. It's good to adlib, but sticking to the solo riffs are what crowds are looking for. Steve Hackett , Steve Howe, etc. Godd job by the keyboard player and bass. Drums were spot on.
@binka21 Quite simply they are trying to copy the Genesis live show as close as possible. I do agree with you on the guitarist though. He made a few bad attempts at copying what Mike Rutherford did on either the Mama tour video or the Invisible Touch tour video, where Mike also did not copy the album exactly. He is by far the weakest musician on this stage. His sound was a bit harsh too.
@binka21 You don't kow your Genesis my friend. Chester Thompson, and Phil Collins - individually two of the finest rock drummers you'll ever hear. And together, phenomenal. Watch this video, and then compare it to the real band at Wembley (also on YouTube), and you'll see the difference. And there are plenty of other bands with 2 drummers.
You guys need to bring this talent to the USA !! You could tons of shows from New York to Boston and beyond !! Do you need a booking agent here in the States ? I'll have your USA tour booked solid at some great venues.....Write me back.
Mike Rutherford was excellent on bass, but he should give up with lead guitar. He just doesnt seem comfortable with it at all, he doesnt have any kind of feel for it. Check out live Genesis shows on here and you will see what I mean.
would of thought for sure you would of been able to get the drum machine sound genesis did for the second home by the sea part, but still good, keyboard player is fantastic, from other tributes i have seen they usually bring down the band because they can't play tony bank's parts, but this guy's got it, he carry's this song, good work guys
I also have a Genesis tribute band whose name is "Selling Broadway" in Argentina and there is no words to describe the feeling we had when we played for many people this kind of music. Maybe you felt the same, didn't you?
But apart from that, you made an exellent version of this song. Congratulations!
Fantastic Video ! Great musicians at work ! @Momme ! congratulations to this beautiful diplom-concert ; you earned the right mark ,no question !! Will see us at the weekend in husum ;)

...why are there so many (good) genesis cover bands?
Most of these musicians were in the kindergarten or not yet born when the music had been published.
The answer is as simple as true: Genesis' music is part of the Rock culture and will always be.
