I went to see Genesis last night!
It was AWESOME. Lots of great instrumental work, a bunch of old tunes, an amazing light and video show. If they're going to be near you, don't miss it. Yes, they played 5 songs from "Invisible Touch," but since the show was 2 hours and 40 minutes, they took up a small amount of the show time overall. (Except for "Domino," but that's okay, because it's a little more "proggy.")

1. How much post-Mama shit did they versus their good music?
My first concert was Genesis on the Abacab tour, and I've seen them a few other times. Even on the "We Can't Dance Tour", they still played brilliantly, even if the music itself was substandard, embarrassing crap.

They are amazing musicians - I'd love to see them again! But I won't if their set is mostly Invisible Touch and after crap.

2. This is the setlist (and decade breakdown):
Behind the Lines / Duke’s End / Turn It On Again
No Son Of Mine
Land of Confusion
In The Cage / The Cinema Show / Duke’s Travels / Afterglow
Hold on My Heart
Home by the Sea / Second Home By The Sea
Follow You, Follow Me
Firth of Fifth / I Know What I Like
Mama
Ripples
Throwing It All Away
Domino
Drum Duet / Los Endos
Tonight, Tonight, Tonight / Invisible Touch
~Encore~
I Can’t Dance
Carpet Crawlers

9 songs from the 70s
12 songs from the 80s (11 if you count "Home By The Sea/Second Home By The Sea" as one long piece)
3 songs from the 90s

And since I'm such a big dork, I used the official recording of the July 7, 2007 show to approximate performance times:

70s - approx. 58 minutes
80s - approx. 59 minutes
90s - approx. 19 minutes

Post "Mama" material (from "Invisible Touch" and "We Can't Dance") - approx. 50 minutes

However, I tend to not include "Domino" in that category, as it's significantly more "proggy" than the other stuff.
