Super Rare Video of Genesis, from 1973... and Talk of a Reunion!

Mike Rutherford says that U.S. fans might get to see the upcoming Genesis reunion tour before those in the U.K.

Appearing on the Rockonteurspodcast, he says that because of U.K. and Ireland pandemic regulations he "can’t see [the tour happening] at the moment." The current September dates have been set, but have been postponed numerous times prior to that. 

He then went on to say that the U.S. could be first due to the pace of vaccinations. "American shows might be in November [on the East Coast]. They are confident, they want to do it."

Genesis last played in the U.S. on October 13th, 2007 when they wrapped up their Turn It On Again Tourat the Hollywood Bowl.
