My wife and I went to a concert tonight. We had a really good time so I thought I would see who else was coming to town.

Yes! I would pay $3,900 a ticket.

No way! I'll stay home and listen to a CD.

Phil Collins is coming on my wife's birthday. We both like him so I checked on seats and pricing. For front row dead center of the stage was $3,900 per ticket. Yes per ticket. That means for the both of us to go it would cost us $7,800. Is that the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard? Who would pay that kind of money for a evening out?

I would pay that kind of money back in the day when he was drumming with the Gabriel-era Genesis.....that to me is priceless!!

No..apparently they are still negotiating a reunion but it wouldn't be the same. Phil admittedly said he couldn't do those complex drum parts that made him a legendary drummer. His son would have to learn them but Chester Thompson, his other drummer,might be able to do him justice.

I think personally, it's too late for that.....the music is too complex and difficult to perform. I could be wrong with respect to Mike Rutherford and tony Banks. Only Steve Hackett is keeping the old guard alive but he consistently plays the old stuff year after year. It would be very easy for him.....as much as I would love to see it happen, it wouldn't be the same.

Yes....but there legacy will live on as long as people still listen and encourage the progressive rock style in the future.
