December, 2021 - Diary of an Ardent Fan

What can I say? Genesis were great in concert!!

I saw them in Columbus, Ohio December 8, 2021.

Singer Phil Collins, guitarist/bassist Mike Rutherford, keyboardist Tony Banks, along with guitarist/bassist Daryl Stuermer, Nic Collins (Phil’s son on drums), and backing vocalists Daniel Pierce and Patrick Smyth put on a great performance.

Phil has had a lot of difficulties in the last several years, but he’s still singing very well and has kept his sense of humor.

And even though he’s mostly sitting these days through concerts, he’s still the consummate frontman entertaining the crowd.

Mike Rutherford is still rocking out and having the time of his life.

The whole band sounds great.

Great visuals with the screens.

And the set list is great if you’re a Genesis fan.

I’m glad I FINALLY saw them.

Thank you guys for everything.

I love you all.
