Turn it on, turn it on again...

This summer, I spent a heck of a long time watching gigs/live music here there and everywhere.
But, the one performance out of the many many MANY I saw which stood out as being absolutely phenomenal was Genesis. They were outstanding.

But I'm not just talking about musical ability, the set they used this summer for the 'turn it on again' tour was like no other I'd ever seen...


I have been to many gigs that use pretty innovative sets, Placebo for example often use dramatic movement with violently dropping lighting rigs etc. but nothing quite on this scale.


It was obvious that every single track had been thought about in its own right, as the visual accompaniment for each was disticntly different and fit the themes and moods of the music perfectly.


The logistics of the whole operation must have been hair-pullingly-stressfull, as often there was less than 24 hours to dismantle/relocate/assemble the whole set ready for another performance.


It really made me realise just how important the visual elements of a concert are to the overall effect and enjoyment, it cost a seemingly outrageous £60 a ticket to see genesis, but it turned out it was worth every penny.
