Being a born Genesis fan (thanks to my dad) I’ve always wanted to see my favorite band do a Genesis or Peter Gabriel cover (I about died when i saw video of Eddie showing up on stage with Gabriel in Seattle to do red rain, i was at the San Jose show). 

Now with Gigaton out (LOVE) I get major Genesis vibes from Alright and River Cross. So i just thought I’d put it out there, maybe they’d consider covering Biko when they go on tour? Or even just Ed at Ohana? Pretty please 🙏🏼 😁

Please bump if you agree. Hope you are all staying safe and healthy.  I’ll leave you with a video of Peter Gabriel performing Biko at Woodstock ‘94 ( were any of you there for this performance?)

"Watch out for music. It should come with a health warning. It can be dangerous. It can make you feel so alive, so connected to the people around you, and connected to what you really are inside. And it can make you think that the world should, and could, be a much better place. And just occasionally, it can make you very, very happy." -Peter Gabriel

    Games Without Frontiers could be another good PG song for PJ to cover. I could hear Eddie singing those verses in a menacing tone that could work.

    Yes i could see that. I could see them doing an amazing job doing several different Peter Gabriel songs but Biko would be my personal first pick. Such a powerful song
