Rockowy Pleszew w lutym 2011 - THE WATCH

[margo]

Już dzisiaj zapraszam w lutym do kina Hel (dokładną datę podam troszeczkę później) na koncert progresywnej grupy The Watch, która zaczynała jako band grający covery wczesnego Genesis. Dzisiaj, nie odżegnując się od tamtych utworów, tworzy także własne kompozycje.

the show is called "Green show", dedicated to the Selling England by the Pound album - 1972.

From rockradio UK:
The Watch are an early-Genesis tribute band who also record their own material. Billed as The Blue Show - the Foxtrot album - they start with acoustic-based songs and build the tension as they add more powerful numbers. Exactly the way Genesis themselves used to do it around 1970/71

These guys really knew their subject, with singer Simone Rossetti sounding exactly like Peter Gabriel. As they moved into the powerful numbers such as Time Table and Can Utility and the Coastliners, you could feel the atmosphere build. By the time we got Musical Box and In the Cage, the band were feeding off a rapturous reception.

Guitarist Giorgio Gabriel (his real name!) managed a beautiful rendition of Steve Hackett’s classical solo piece Horizons, made all the more captivating by playing it on 12-string.

Performing everything from Foxtrot could only mean one thing – the highlight of the evening would be Supper's Ready. It was flawless: absolutely stunning. Tears flowed. Like most of the audience I've seen all the Genesis tribute bands of the last few years, including the technically brilliant but slightly soulless Musical Box. No-one outwith Genesis themselves has played this song better. I would dare to say they were the best tribute band, Genesis or otherwise, I've ever seen.


...a strong and powerful performance - Steve Hackett

byłam na ich koncercie w poznańskim Blue Note więc mogę zagwarantować wielbicielom nutek malujących mgłę i nostalgię moc wrażeń.
