Genesis says potential reunion tour with Peter Gabriel would be an 'uphill' climb
. “I could feel the suction of the black hole. I get on pretty well with everybody — it wasn’t personal issues — I just didn’t want to lose that sort of light-footedness that I enjoy now…We had a great run. They did way better after I left anyway. So I don’t know think anyone has anything to complain about.”
When Gabriel and Hackett left the room, Collins, Banks and Rutherford decided to simply do it themselves. They hit the road two years later for the Turn It On Again tour, which took them to arenas and stadiums all across Europe and North America. The setlist focused on their pop hits of the Eighties and early Nineties, but they did sprinkle in songs from the Gabriel days like “The Carpet Crawlers” and “In the Cage” along with some Seventies post-Peter rarities like “Ripples.
The group’s recent assertion that a Gabriel/Hackett reunion would be “weird” and “uphill” might seem odd to the countless Genesis tribute bands that play to enormous audiences; they perform material the band recorded in the Seventies. The Musical Box has been doing this for over 25 years and regularly packs places as large as the Royal Albert Hall. Hackett and Collins have both guested with them over the years.
Hackett would probably have a different take on the matter as well. He’s found great success in the past decade with his Genesis Revisited tours, which feature his own take on music recorded during his tenure in the band. He spent the past year playing the group’s 1973 LPlater this year. All of that said, Collins, Banks and Rutherford are right to say that casual fans are largely familiar with anything outside of Eighties and Nineties hits like “Invisible Touch,” “I Can’t Dance” and “Throwing It All Away.” This was the type of stuff the group focused on when they rehearsed for the tour in New York City earlier this year.. “Mainly because they’re the two easiest. Nic knew them better than we did. He showed us up —embarrassingly so.
