Indeed the band recently \u003cbr\u003eperformed the seminal album by Genesis 'Foxtrot' including Suppers Ready in its entirety. \u003cbr\u003e“Don’t miss this journey through the sounds that defined a generation!” \u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/www.otoprog.com \u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/outsidetheoriginal \u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/instagram.com\/Outsidetheoriginal \u003cbr\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@OutsideTheOriginal-OTO \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eBand Members \u003cbr\u003eOutside The Original are a 6 piece band comprising of: \u003cbr\u003eGerry Phimister on lead vocals \u003cbr\u003eJames Finnigan on lead guitar \u003cbr\u003eSuzanne McKenzie on keyboards and backing vocals \u003cbr\u003eGeorge Falconer on drums and backing vocals \u003cbr\u003eKizzy Yeudall on saxophone and additional keys \u003cbr\u003eGeorge Glen on bass guitar and guitar \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eONE MOMENT ROLLICKING, THE NEXT HAVING SHIVERS \u003cbr\u003eOutside The Original: LIVE @ Voodoo Rooms Edinburgh 2026 \u003cbr\u003eSome of the things I noticed were during (firstly) “Get ‘Em Out By Friday” from Genesis was the guitar tone. It was spot on. If I closed my \u003cbr\u003eeyes, it could have been the original being played. The band presented the drama, the humour and pathos of the piece so well with \u003cbr\u003esinger Gerry managing to portray the various characters within the song. \u003cbr\u003eI also love the spirit and energy they brought to “Karn Evil 9″ (first impression) by ELP. It was a rollicking, hard rocking version which had my \u003cbr\u003ehead going and had me singing along! \u003cbr\u003eOne of the absolute highlights of the show was “Starless” from King Crimson, it was truly beautiful. The interplay between sax and guitar gave \u003cbr\u003eme shivers. Not an easy song to play (mind, are any of these actually easy to play? Probably not.), but it was so precise. If memory serves, before \u003cbr\u003ethis specific song Gerry described this as “more prog than prog” whilst laughing (he also asked cheekily if there “any prog fans in,” the answer \u003cbr\u003ewas definitely a yes). \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wrecking Ball Arts Centre","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57708556714357,"sku":null,"price":17.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/8679\/4007\/files\/WreckingBall11.4.27.jpg?v=1793471607","url":"https:\/\/wreckingballarts.com\/products\/outside-the-original-prog-classics-sun-apr-11th-2027-3pm-5-30pm","provider":"Wrecking Ball Arts Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
