Heavy Is The Head
by SIMON HELDREICH
In the thrilling final episode of season 3,
Simon and Gary find themselves in the
clutches of their most deadly enemy.
Viktor has Tony Banks on his side, and
with Tony’s help he almost has the enchanted
crown within his grasp.
But when push comes to shove, can you
really trust a Djinn? And if it will only respond
to a childlike personality will any of the group
be suitable? Our two hapless heroes reach
the end of their journey, but they might not
be getting out alive!

Hello Stationeers and welcome to this short minisode!
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, about 2 years in fact, so here we are once more…
As you may know Mike+The Mechanics are currently on their Refuelled tour in the UK and Gary and I were able to bag tickets to the Nottingham show on May 8th 2023.
So presented here are our post-gig thoughts on the show. It was recorded in my car afterwards, so apologies for the sometimes dodgy sound quality.
We’ll be back soon with another episode, and I hope to have another short review for you in a week or so.

BBC Broadcasts: a special episode
by SIMON HELDREICH
Genesis have had a long and fruitful
relationship with the BBC, having
recorded numerous sessions both live
and in the studio, and their music has
been featured on many BBC radio and
television programs. Some of the band's
most notable BBC broadcasts include
their 1972 performance at the Paris Studios,
their 1980 performance at the Lyceum Theatre
and their 1987 performance at Wembley Stadium.
Genesis' BBC broadcasts have been a valuable
source of material for fans of the band. They
provide a unique insight into the band's early
years and their live performances. They are
also a testament to the band's enduring popularity.
Now some of those iconic performances have
been released in a 5 CD, or 3 Vinyl LP, boxset.
Join Simon in this special episode, as he gives
his verdict on the release. Is it worth getting
hold of? Or should you stick to bootlegs? And
just where exactly is Knebworth anyway?
