lthough there was a 15 year wait, now seemed the right time to do it
Money is not a motivator here otherwise they would be doing more shows. It's mainly for the fun and so that the fans can see the band again.
The Itinerary
The Rome show (the last show of the European tour) will be a free show for 300,000 people
There will be 20 shows in Europe and 20 shows in the US (TBA)
They will be playing 8 gigs in Germany as it is good for most mainland Europeans
Rehearsals
Phil's hearing has not and will not get any worse since his ear infection a couple of years ago.
They have been rehearsing songs from going back to 1973
Original idea was to do a Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour with Peter. However, he is busy and has an album and possible tour coming up next year. A tour with Peter tour has not been ruled out for the future though.
They have been reharsing for two weeks in the US and have covered a lot of the longer instrumental stuff, including the Drum Duet, Los Endos and Afterglow
The Set List :
is likely to include a couple of medleys including the In The Cage / Cinema Show / Afterglow / Drum Duet / Los Endos favourite.
They are not planning to play Supper's Ready
They will not be playing material from Calling All Stations as it did not include Phil
Further Releases :

Genesis est donc reparti pour une nouvelle tournée. On apprend :
-Que le projet original inculait Gabriel et Hackett pour une tournée 'the lamb' ce qui a été abandonné ou reporté à cause de l'agenda de Peter Gabriel (qui donc, nous sort un nouvel album en 2007, peut être avec tournée l'appui)
-Qu'ils joueront de vieux machins surement en meddley façon tournée 92, mais pas Supper's Ready
-il y aura le traditionnel morceau solo de batterie de Colins et Chester Thompson
-Le groupe sera secondé des habituels et exellents Daryl Stuermer et Chester Thompson
