I prefer prog/Gabriel Genesis, and not pop Genesis, but of course personal preference. The ticket prices were at heart attack level, so as a pensioner, I respectfully declined. I remember going to see Argent at the Birmingham Town Hall when the price was 2/6d ie 2 shillings and 6 pence, which in today's money is 12.5 pence !!!!!!!. Look up the old currency in the history books kids ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
