A.’s Hollywood Bowl on October 12th. Phil Collins will be fronting the group this time around, but he says a reunion of the Peter Gabriel line-up is not out of the question.
“We’ve been talking for a long time about the possibility of doing The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in it’s entirety, with Peter [Gabriel] and Steve [Hackett],” Collins said at the press conference. “We finally got together a couple of years ago in Scotland when I was on tour. We discussed it the five of us and it didn’t look like Peter could commit himself at that point because he had an album to finish and a tour to go behind that album, which is still not out.
So, as he and Steve left the room, we looked at each other and said ‘Do you fancy doing this?’ It was all so easy. I don’t want it to appear, like it has been appearing, that this is a party that we’re holding that Peter didn’t come to.
This is a separate thing. That Lamb thing may happen in a few years time. It’s not a no, it’s not a yes.
”
Here’s hoping for Genesis with Peter Gabriel at Coachella 2009! Tour dates after the jump.
$550 for a seat on the field?

They can t dance, but they re pretty good at fleecing the fans We are the YouTbe Generation.
Search for Genesis there. What do you get that is interesting? Musical Box, Supper s Ready out even Trick of the Tail.
Not warmed over MTV which is what the Genesis trio is all about.
Maybe it is better this way. For musicians, it is easier to just sit in the dark and recreate the old album sound.
For Peter Gabriel it would look ridiculous to repeat the type of performance we see in videos. What s funny is that Phil Collins said today that Genesis aren t touring for the money . Tickets are $225 each.
For once, I d like to see a band just come out and say, Yeah, we re touring for the cash.
This tour is definitely just a holdover until the real Genesis reunion. Gabriel and Hackett were always the musical heart and soul of that band anyway.
