For those who don't know, The Musical Box performs exact, and I mean exact, recreations of Genesis shows from back in the day. They are astounding in their note-for-note perfection and breathtaking display of musicianship. They don't write music like this anymore, so it's fantastic that The Musical Box is around to take us back in time and perform this spellbinding music.
I've lost count but I think this is the 7th time I've seen the boys..always incredible. The sounds are so authentic but probably 'enhanced' (in a good way)..the growling bass pedals, ever-so slightly queasy analog keys, pinging Rick bass (he must put on new strings every show) and the piano is definitely an improvement on 70's stage pianos. Maybe the drummer is new (I know they've gone through a few) I thought he played a lot more punky and wild than previous guys..if you listen to Genesis live recordings from 70's Phil would occasionally 'go off on one' so I thought this was actually appropriate! Lead singer..what can I say..he IS Gabriel. I hope they don't retire too soon..if so maybe their sons will take over then ;-)
The most powerful show I've ever seen in my life! The Musical Box was the best show I've ever seen and I've seen a ton of artists
Great show, great musicians. My only beef is that this show was billed as "50 years of Selling England by the Pound". Made me think that I was going to hear the entire album from start to finish. They played most of the album, but not the whole thing.
to the 70's. If you are a fan of early Genesis, this is the show for you. I had heard of the Musical Box but this is the first time I had seen them and it truly took me back to my youth. I was fortunate to see the Peter Gabriel version of Genesis several times in my youth and was amazed how the entire band emulated that experience but especially the lead singer. He had the voice, the moves and the stories of earlier concerts. Absolute Perfection!! I drove over 400 miles for the experience and would do it again.
Excellent musicians performing flawlessly! You feel like you were taken back in a time machine to see the original tour.
The Musical Box have never been better! Selling England by the Pound looked and sounded great and the show started on time. Crowd was very enthusiastic.
My 5 time seeing TMB. Will not be my last. Absolute perfection. Great sound. Excellent show. The Danforth Music Hall is one of my top favourite venues to see live entertainment. Great hosts. Kind, courteous and professional.
The Musical Box delivers a perfect, stellar, awesome, amazing performance that is a spot-on rendition of what Genesis did at the time, in terms of visuals, music, and vocals. It's a marvel, really. If you're a fan of this era of Genesis... The Musical Box is a must-see. You will be blown away and love every moment of it. I will see this bad every single time they come through town!
If you are a fan of Genesis with Peter you will love this show and any show they do. Saw them do Trick of the Tail once and it was also awesome. They are perfectionists and incredibly talented.
I’ve seen these guys a number of times over the years and they never disappoint. This show, they seemed to be even tighter than before, which is an already remarkable thing! Kudos to The Musical Box for the amount of preparation the put in and the high degree of execution, and thank you guys, once again, for another memorable concert experience.
Very good, we feel like genesis band is in front of us, amazing show
They are amazing musicians/singers. They truly do honour to Genesis. This the second time I have seen them preform, they do not disappoint.
i never got to see the 'old' Genesis, but this more than make up for it!
Our third time seeing TMB - this time The Lamb in 2023 at the same theater they performed the Genesis Extravaganza in 2022 - was phenomenally captivating in music presentation and theatrics, but, (and it’s a big but) this time the sound was terrible, and we were seated next to the sound board. Couldn’t understand the vocals and the mid range was horrific. Hopefully this has been corrected by the next time we attend their performance. Other than that, “Carry on, Blokes!”
I really love The Musical Box. Nobody else captures these pieces of music so authentically, as well as the stage show. Vintage Genesis live shows are a bygone thing, but at least these guys keep it alive for me.
I went to see The Musical Box, Friday and Saturday. I came from Central America. Hope to see The Musical Box play again soon.
All the detail given to the equipment used, slides, costumes made it feel just like the ‘75 tour for Lamb was really happening before for our eyes! Musicians were awesome - drummer had his kit tuned , all extra percussion gear to perfection - we’ll worth the ticket price!
We went to The Musical Box's performance of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway at NYC's Times Square last weekend. As a 40+ year Genesis fan, it was everything I hoped it would be! The musicianship, the stage presentation, the costumes - I daresay that except for the modern keyboard sounds (true piano and synth polyphony) that just weren't possible in the 1970s, the "left-handed Michael Rutherford," and the "right-handed Phil Collins," you could have put TMB and PG-era Genesis side-by-side on the same stage and struggled to tell which was which. Just a fantastic show all around. At times, their sound overwhelmed the sound system at The Palladium Times Square theatre, but that actually added to the vintage, "perfectly imperfect" look and feel of the show overall. If you're a Genesis fan (or just a fan of progressive rock overall), this is a must-see band!
The Musical Box are like a reincarnation of the greatest band ever, GENESIS!
