Daryl adds more fuel to the fire

The conversation with Daryl has just recently finished with radio station WKLH. Aside from a mention of his new CD called "Rewired - The Electric Collection" being released next week, the obvious topic was the recent announcement. Points of interest were:

  • He was asked to attend the 2 week rehearsal session in NYC back in October, so obviously the band was a full compliment with Chester as well.
  • Said that it felt great playing together again after 14 years and it was like a family reunion because most of the band's kid's were there, including Simon Collins and Ben Banks.
  • When asked about the setlist for next year he said that he's currently got a list of 22 songs. Didn't mention specific songs when asked (just mentioning Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance and A Trick Of Tail), only definitely Carpet Crawlers and let slip that they were rehearsing Squonk.
  • He hasn't been told of when the band might hit the US and what venues and cities, but mentioned that they have 2 weeks of rehearsal in May and then a furthur 2 weeks with the production before the tour starts in June. Also he believes that they (Genesis) have August off, which points to a US tour in September and October.
