Here are some reviews from the European leg of Genesis' CAS tour. I am getting quite excited by reading all these personal reports, and I hope you will feel the same way. Genesis are obviously enjoying playing their new material as well as some of the oldies we would never have dreamt of hearing live again. As mentioned on the front page, I really hope everyone out there seeing the band can contribute to this page with their experiences - I know there are a lot of people outside Europe wanting to get updates from the tour.
