Genesis concert disappointing By Amy Andrews Staff Writer CHAPEL HILL-Tension and hype had been building for months. The British rock group Genesis, with lead singer Phil Collins, was com ing to North Carolina. Genesis pl^ed to a sold-out crowd Jan. 31 at the Dean E. Smith Center here on the Chapel Hill campus. In fact, the group was popular enough to sell out two more performances. Those con certs have been scheduled for Feb. 22 and 23 in Chapel Hill. Concert review After waiting in line for hours, spending $17.50 for a ticket and just being lucky enough to get into a concert that sold out in just over two hours, one hoped that the show vwuld be incredible, maybe even one of the best ever Unfortunately, this was not quite the case. True, the performance had its finer points. Genesis’ light show was spectacular and to some extent kept the audience’s attention during un familiar songs or during the many instrumentals that the group performed. Tbny Banks kept things interesting with the many sounds he produced on his keyboards and synthesizers. Of course, the crowd’s interest rose during songs from Genesis’ current album. Invisible Touch. Songs such as “Mama”, the group’s opener; “Land of Confusion”; “Invisible Touch”; and “Throwing It All Away” stirred up the crowd somewhat, basically because the audience was more femiliar with them. On the long instrumen tals, such as “The Brazilian”, the crowd lost much of its enthusiasm. As an encore. Genesis performed parts of several older songs by other groups and the crowd once again became more involved and excited, perhaps leaving the fens with a better feeling than they would have had without it. 2402 5.
