The fires are burning in another land as I once again visit with Vince Corda, drummer extraordinaire for The Genesis Show, a South Jersey based cover band that continues to grow fans and expand venues as they faithfully recreate the ’81 Abacab and ‘82 Encore tours. It’s a slippery set list that until now was rarely played live, and never with such enthusiastic passion and satiating precision since the original members of Genesis performed the songs themselves.

This episode is a veritable Who Dunnit as we learn about the band’s new bassist, dig up a Dodo, resolve a rhetorical riddle, resurrect the Lamb, expose some extraterrestrials, serenade a Duchess, and wax nostalgic while basking in the fire’s Afterglow. Vince knows what he likes, and I like what he knows. It’s getting better in this episode, stepping one beyond your show.
