Full article:
Tony Smith (manager, Genesis) : During the French truck drivers’ strike we had fifty trucks on the road with a Genesis tour, six of which got holed up in Lyon for about six weeks because they couldn’t get out. We had to re-schedule stadium shows left, right and centre. I remember that it threw our agent, John Giddings, into a bit of a panic, but I was able to say, 'Look, this is what we do.' and show him that you can be flexible, use a bit of lateral thinking and deal with those kinds of situations. I think he learned a lot from that tour.
