Turn It On Again - A Genesis Forum

Sadly, I haven't yet read a perfect book - between the writing, editing and printing processes there's usually something that sneaks in to niggle both authors and readers alike. Us authors can only try our best to spread the word. Stay passionate and pedantic, Phil - it's a healthy stance in a world where most things relentlessly drift towards the lowest common denominator. ;)

Long-time fan of all eras of his work — Derek & The Dominos and Blind Faith being among my favourites. Also loved the Live at Madison Square Garden album (2009) he recorded with Steve Winwood. For a long while, stemming from my teens, I bought everything he released as soon as it was out and then that came to an end in the late 1990s after he put out an album or two I didn’t really care for, and there were likely other artists I was becoming more interested or focused on. The last solo album…

[…] I agree. I was especially surprised by Heart Song. But then again - it may have sounded far better with another singer. I listen to some of the tracks occasionally. But not the whole album.

Rather sad final (?) chapter - tough to think that it’s twenty years plus since we’ve seen any original material from him (bar one song from a film soundtrack). I wonder how much of that inactivity is down to his health issues and how much is down to depression and attendant alcohol dependency. What a shame that such a huge talent has checked out to such an extent. I wish him every happiness but it’s a sad story

Would be quite cool if the two Steve's could persuade Ian Mosely to play some proper drums on this. Much better than some overly-produced electronic beats.

Saw G2 last night in Esher Surrey and they were brilliant. If they are passing close to you I would recommend it. They have been working on some 1978 material recently, so played Burning Rope, Down and Out, Say It's Alright Joe and The Lady Lies from ATTWT along with the usual sprinkling of classics from 71-77. The guitarist is remarkable and it's overall a really good experience if you get the chance.

Many thanks for all the work you have put into this! The compendium is a great source!
