Genesis Revisited.......Revisited

Another day, another gig by an ex Genesis band member. This time it was another chance to see Steve Hackett as he continued on his world tour. Andy and I had seen this gig back in May in Cardiff and had immediately re-booked for Bristol and the Colston Hall, to be joined on this occasion by our better halves.
The evening nearly turned to disaster when we arrived at our usual car park in Trenchard Street to be greeted with massive queues and nowhere to park.
An hour later we had managed to park a ten minute walk away and were back at the Colston Hall in time to see the main event but having missed the support.
I was expecting a repeat of the Cardiff gig but we started off on this occasion with Dance on a Volcano. This time around the band showed all the benefits of having been on the road for the last six months and were very tight and slick.
The set list included some of the songs seldom heard, like The Fountain of Salmacis and Return of the Giant Hogweed. Two hours later and after a huge ovation the band returned for an encore of Watcher of the Skies(the opening number in Cardiff) and Los Endos
