Turn Information technology On Again: The Bout was a 2007 concert bout of Europe and North America past the English stone band Genesis. The tour was notable for the return of drummer and singer Phil Collins, who had fronted the ring during their most commercially successful menstruation before leaving in 1993, rejoining founder members Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, with their traditional on-stage musicians, Chester Thompson on drums and Daryl Stuermer on guitar/bass.
History [edit]
Collins was initially reported past the BBC as being interested in a reunion in November 2005. Collins had said he was "open" to a reunion featuring original atomic number 82 singer Peter Gabriel where he would just exist playing drums.[one] Afterward much speculation regarding a reunion, Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford announced the tour on 7 November 2006, about forty years after the band had first formed. Collins insisted information technology would be more of a "selection of shows" rather than a tour. Grouping director Tony Smith was likewise on hand for the declaration, which was introduced by popular comedian and Genesis fan David Baddiel.
Originally, Collins, Banks and Rutherford wanted to reunite every bit a quintet with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, for live performances of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Gabriel had reportedly agreed in principle to perform, and as such Steve Hackett was also contacted, simply every bit time went on, Gabriel could not commit to a appointment.[2] "Peter is a niggling over-cautious about going back to something which fundamentally is fun", Collins said.[ This quote needs a commendation ] Once Gabriel declined, Hackett'due south participation became moot, and the decision was made to go along as the three slice. A brusque note expressing Hackett's proficient wishes for the reunion tour was placed on his website.[3] In their stead, both Daryl Stuermer and Chester Thompson returned equally supplementary on-stage musicians.
The ring embarked on the kickoff leg of the tour in Europe. The stage set was designed by Marking Fisher with lighting pattern by Patrick Woodroffe. The routing took in twelve countries first in Helsinki, Finland on 11 June 2007 and catastrophe in Rome, Italy on 14 July 2007. The Rome show was a free concert for an audience of 500,000. This leg of the bout was documented in the film Come up Rain or Shine, released as part of the iii-DVD prepare When in Rome in 2008. The documentary shows the rather difficult weather the ring faced during the kickoff leg, with rain hampering all but a handful of the shows during this portion of the tour.[2] On the Paris and Amsterdam shows, the ring was too accompanied by a La7/MTV crew, whose documentary, Genesis On the Route, aired on Italian TV before the Rome testify.
The band held a press conference in New York Metropolis on 7 March 2007 at noon EST to announce the details of the North American leg of the Turn Information technology On Once again reunion bout. This leg commenced on 7 September 2007 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at BMO Field and concluded on 13 October 2007 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. It was announced on 1 June that Genesis would exist working with the Encore Serial team at TheMusic.com to record each show of their European bout (and likewise done for their subsequent N American bout) for release as a 2-CD gear up (similar to the serial done for the Who and Peter Gabriel). All shows were recorded straight off the soundboard and were previously available for either individual sale or as a complete box fix of the entire tour.
The CD Live Over Europe 2007 was released on xx November 2007 in Due north America and 26 Nov 2007, in the UK. The When in Rome 2007 triple-DVD set was released 26 May 2008 (10 June 2008 for North America) and featured the complete free concert filmed in Rome, Italy on 14 July 2007. The set too contains the documentary Come up Rain or Shine which was broadcast in a selection of cinemas in the UK and Europe on 20 May 2008.[2] The 27 June concert in Düsseldorf was broadcast live in Hard disk and Dolby 5.ane Surround to cinemas in the UK, Spain and Sweden. Most of the bout was recorded straight from the soundboard and released in collaboration with the band past the Encore Music series and TheMusic.com.[iv]
The tour was notable as being the first time near every vocal was performed in a lower fundamental to recoup for the weakening of Collins'southward voice. Only "Hold on My Eye", "Follow Y'all Follow Me" and all instrumentals were performed in the same key as their original studio recordings.[five] Clips of Collins attempting to reach higher notes during rehearsals for "The Cinema Show" and "In Too Deep" appear in Come Rain or Polish. An additional clip from an October 2006 rehearsal in New York City shows the ring discussing the key change for "Mama", with Collins referencing Elton John and his need to sing older songs in a much lower register than originally recorded. Collins added that Paul McCartney continues to sing all his songs in their original central, despite non existence able to properly sing many of the higher notes.[2]
Gear up list [edit]
During the initial London press conference, it was revealed that music dating back as far every bit 1973 would be performed on the tour, with the songs "Domino", "Afterglow", "In the Muzzle" and "Los Endos" cited as probable inclusions in the set.[6] Rehearsal footage screened at the conference likewise showed the band working on "No Son of Mine" and "Habitation by the Ocean".[7] It was confirmed that no material from the post-Collins album Calling All Stations would be performed, and that the group were not planning on playing their 1972 ballsy "Supper's Ready".[6] It later evolved that a small slice of "Stagnation", from the pre-Collins anthology Trespass would be included as function of the "Firth of Fifth/I Know What I Like" medley (every bit it has been since their 1977 bout).
Further details were uncovered whilst Genesis were rehearsing in Cossonay, Switzerland, throughout April and May 2007, when fan recordings began surfacing on the internet. These recordings revealed the band to be working on a number of older songs, including "Behind the Lines",[8] "I Know What I Similar (In Your Wardrobe)",[9] "The Carpet Crawlers"[10] and "Follow You Follow Me",[11] too as latter-twenty-four hour period singles "Invisible Touch",[ten] "I Can't Dance"[12] and "Throwing It All Away".[13]
In an interview with Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, it was confirmed that both "Jesus He Knows Me" from Nosotros Can't Dance and "Abacab" from Abacab were rehearsed[fourteen] though neither song was performed.
The complete set list was revealed following production rehearsals in Brussels, Belgium.[xv] This prepare remained unchanged throughout the European leg of the tour:[16]
Main set
- "Knuckles's Intro" ("Behind the Lines/"Knuckles'south End")
- "Turn It On Again"
- "No Son of Mine"
- "Land of Confusion"
- Medley:
- "In the Cage"
- "The Cinema Show"
- "Duke's Travels"
- "Afterglow"
- "Concord on My Heart"
- "Dwelling past the Sea/Second Home by the Sea"
- "Follow You Follow Me"
- "Firth of 5th"
- "I Know What I Similar (In Your Wardrobe)/Stagnation"
- "Mama"
- "Ripples..."
- "Throwing It All Away"
- "Domino"
- "Conversations with Two Stools" (Drum Duet)
- "Los Endos"
- "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight
- "Invisible Touch"
Encore
- "I Can't Dance"
- "The Carpet Crawlers"
A majority of the songs were performed in a lower cardinal due to the deepening of Collins' voice.
An identical setlist was performed on the Due north American leg of the tour,[17] with the ring's producer, Nick Davis, stating that no changes are planned.[xviii] Tony Banks had before cited "In Too Deep" from Invisible Touch as a likely add-on to the North American fix, perhaps at the expense of "Ripples" from A Trick of the Tail, simply that modify was not fabricated. The only exception to the setlist was on 12 October at the Hollywood Bowl, where the last two songs had to be dropped due to the heavy rain causing problems with Tony Banks'due south keyboards.[14]
At the beginning of the drum duet Thompson and Collins begin drumming either side of 2 barstools. This idea evolved from when Collins was interviewed during the Way Nosotros Walk tour almost how the duets are synthetic. He said: "A lot of the patterns evolve through the bout, so the duet at the end of the bout is much longer than the 1 at the beginning. But initially me and Chester sit either side of a chair and drum out beats until something sticks."
