I also freely admit to liking early Collins-era Genesis and solo Peter Gabriel stuff, but never really "getting" the original Genesis material with Peter Gabriel. Not sure if I'd spend all of the cash to see Collins-incarnation Genesis these days, though. Jason _________________________________________________________________ Like puzzles?
