As 2020 becomes just another fading memory (thank God!), the Tabletop reflects on the past year, looks ahead to 2021, and shares news about exciting changes happening around the table.
Holy Mother of God! Though many thought Peter Gabriel’s departure in 1975 signaled the end of Genesis, the remaining members—with drummer Phil Collins taking on lead vocals—proved them wrong with 1976’s “A Trick of the Tail,” their biggest selling album up to that point. The Tabletop discusses this pivotal album, which has aged a lot better than the protagonist in “Ripples…”!
Members of the Tabletop react to the news of “The Last Domino?” tour, Genesis’ first outing in 13 years. Which old songs might they revisit? Can Nic Collins fill Phil’s shoes? Will they come to the U.S.? The members discuss these questions and more!
