Glad the sleepy crowd woke up for at least part of the upbeat song! 🤣

Very well done Ray, Steve, Kool, Marcin, Mario, and Alicja! Best wishes on your current tour through Germany, Poland, and the Netherlands!

Ray, du bist die Stimme, die unsere Seelen benötigen. Danke dafür!🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️😻💞🤟

[Dutch_Brickbuilder]

I love this song! It's full of life!

[nathaliefeber]

L'heritage de Genesis passe aussi par un chanteur venu de Dumfries en Ecosse. Bravo Ray 👏

[zooropaforever]

This is a great short circuit! The great new singer of Genesis sings a song, written by the great former singer of Genesis, that tells why he left the great Genesis band!
I love it!😆
I like a lot this Ray's version and I really appreciate his polite irony of this whole thing.😀

[joseislanio]

I'd love to see a collaboration between you and Peter

As a Huge Gabriel fan I normally go for a piss when he plays this, I definitely would hold it in to see this?

[carbootstudios]

He actually sounds almost like Peter. I can see why Tony and Mike hired him to begin with.

Ray WILSON è bravo ma NON è PETER E quindi il sound GENESIS Non è proprio una sua prerogativa e NON lo sento nemmeno vicino a PHIL Per me personalmente resta SOLO un buon vocalist ma NON
