I’m still wearing my birthday shoes. Why not? The older you get the longer you should celebrate.

Yesterday it was U2…today Genesis and Alice in Wonderland. Again, why not? Trust me, I was alive when this Genesis song came out, but not quite aware of who Genesis and Peter Gabriel were. I thought this was really cool.

And Peter Gabriel…I saw this tour…MY FIRST CONCERT…you never forget your first. Oh man, I touched Peter Gabriel at SPAC in Saratoga Springs when he did the crowd surf (but a mere high-schooler was I, about sixteen). I saw one YouTube of the surf where he made it to about row two because nobody knew what to do with him. By the time he made it to SPAC he was travelling across the crowd. Here is a quote from a YouTube viewer on this: “I believe he was one of the first to do a crowd surf. My mom said it was great watching his body float around the arena.” Like I need to be reminded that Peter Gabriel is old and I’m old.

The crowd surf videos weren’t too impressive so here is a clip of Peter Gabriel on Italian TV doing the song Lay Your Hands on Me that made the crowd surf popular…oh, and he does Shock the Monkey too. Two for One!
