I am 53 years of age. I live in the Netherlands. Married with two children, two cats and one dog.
I am a huge Genesis fan since 1972. My first show was in Leiden, 1978.
So, it was a 'And Then There Were Three' concert.
The second show I went was in Amsterdam, 2007.
I have the CD of that concert, and it still gives good memories when I am playing it.
Hello Hans. Great to be friends with a fellow fan, and one that saw them live for the first time on the same tour in 1978. I went to Knebworth and was blown away by them. Have the bootleg of the concert to remind me as well.
My biggest disappointment was failing to see them with Steve. Though I like all of their albums I think Steve was a bigger loss to the band than Peter. I've seen him several times on his solo tours and they are very good. Not sure I can go this year (out of work for most of it) :-(
Hello Hans... Adding you was my pleasure! It's always nice to meet other Genesis fans... I think we're great people! lol I hope you are well and having a wonderful day. Love your page too!!
Hans - Absolutely envious that you were able to catch Genesis in the 70's. Even though Gabriel was gone, I believe they were really in the groove as shown in "Trick of the Tail".
Enjoyed hearng the Hackett cuts above. I was not familiar with them.
Thanks! joe
Hi Hans, I'm landing in Amsterdam March 11th. I'm very excited. I've never been there before.

Hello Hans,
My spirit stays unbroken. I'm doing just fine. Lots of e-mails from well wishers so everything is good. The CD is selling slowly but keeps selling. Once I get confirmation on a couple of things, it should pick up a bit.
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Love what you've done with your page.....excellent :)
There are a number of people with *Buster* in their avatars, but here's a few names for you Old Father Thames; Tails; Watcher Of The Skies; Korg; Lauren Can't Dance; Ethel; Hyperboreal; Kingsdrummer.
If you come into the chat you will see the list of who's there on the right hand side and you will see the avatars as well.
They are a great bunch and we have good laugh when everyone is there! :) :)
You should come in some time.
