I close my eyes and I am taken back to 1974 again to when I saw Genesis play this song. I’ve seen so many bands who play their music but The Watch are the only ones that sound completely like the original Gabriel era Genesis. WONDERFUL. Grazie mille. 🙏
@@davidallen117 Mr. David Allen? Back from the grave with barely a vowel missing! ;-) Yes sir, I have indeed, many, many times. I had tickets for the upcoming 'The Lamb' show before Kung Flu scuppered it but I think they are still valid for when it does happen again so we will see. I saw them up in Lisbon on their last tour and it was amazing, not least because the auditorium there at the university is a convertable lecture theatre/function suite and so the first however many rows of seats were literally armchiars really close up to the stage. I also saw them do The Lamb some years ago, more years ago than I can remember, in Amsterdam I think it was. That was quite weird because I had originally seen Genesis for my one and only Gabriel-era show on the ill fated The Lamb tour and so it was very special for me. But I must say though that IMHO The Watch sound MUCH more faithful to the Gabriel-era Genesis than The Musical Box, mainly as a result of the singer's voice and the sheer brilliance of their guitarist - they're all amazing musicians and it's so clearly a passion with them. I think that The Musical Box's guitarist is possibly their "weak" link - if you can call being extremely skilful and proficient in any way "weak"... he's VERY good but the guy in The Watch is simply stunning. The Watch do not make that much effort to mimic the original show's lighting, costumes and effects though, it's JUST the music. That said both Steve Hackett and his brother often play with The watch so although they aren't sanctioned as such by the real band they are clearly very well respected. They have made several albums of their own work too and in their home country (Italy) they play more of their own work than they do the Genesis tribute thing. Have you ever seen G2: Definitive Genesis? They used to be great until their singer died but sadly they've gone downhill rapidly for me and I've lost all interest in them now. Cheers sir... PS I had the pleasure of discussing The Musical Box and tribute bands in general with Phil Collins once and he was so unbelievably positive. He told me that he thinks it is great that The Musical Box actually put more bums on seats in The Albert Hall than they did in the corresponding period!
Almost 50 Years ago , I saw this played live by GENISIS , in Quebec City . And it still make me very proud to see that we all still LOVE this timeless music
Best Génesis Tribute band and SINGER I have ever heard ! The Singer Simone ROSSETI is incredible and sings like Peter ! Whaou !!! Absolutely superb!!!!! But a Genesis keyboard player must never smile !!!
Have you ever heard of Vincenzo Misceo? Even better on vocals than Denis Gagnè of Musical Box. Listen this: ruclips.net/video/9gBAJiuSvrE/видео.html&ab_channel=GAZZARAPLAYSGENESIS or this ruclips.net/video/Xzd_XrNOOlA/видео.html&ab_channel=alemisc
@@briane5706 except the ripping lead guitar parts (by Hackett) Edit: I deleted a comment before this that said basically “Hackett wasn’t ahead of his time” - no one replied specifically to it
@@briane5706Interesting. Can you back that up? AFAIK there are no extant recordings with Mick Barnard, and no evidence that the song was "completed". Steve Hackett himself reports that he was present at Mick Barnard's last concert with Genesis - having a tape of THAT show would be amazing! Tony Banks made the following comment about Barnard's guitar playing: "He was OK, but not really forceful enough. I remember when we had already auditioned Steve but were still rehearsing with Mick which wasn't a very nice thing to do, we were doing the end part of "The Musical Box" and he was playing this little guitar phrase over the top of it and we thought this was really good. So just as we were about to boot him out he did something quite good." Alas, no-one seems to know if that "something quite good" was taken over by Hackett.
Please when this is over...come to America. You will be supported here. Have followed Genesis, Gabriel. The Musical Box, Hackett throughout the years. You are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for keeping the fire burning.....
Perfetto in tutto, signori musicisti!!!! Ho adorato la performance. È meraviglioso vedere questi giovani e talentuosi musicisti suonare i Genesis...perché apprezzano ciò che è buono?
Just incredible, how close his voice is to the early Gabriel. Great job from everyone in the band, the look and the quality of the Studio Session is superb, too. Looking forward to see you live in Germany! Hopefully next year.
Am a 65+ YO man. Have been a Genesis fan for 45+ years now. Have seen Genesis play this song live many times. You do them credit! Bravo! Please tour the US. I will vote with my dollars to see you play live.
This was my first glimpse of Genesis and symphonic rock. At the time in 1973, I was into hardrock like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath with lots of guitars and heavy drumming. I "hated" calm music. I regularly went to my local music shop to look for and listen to new music. I saw the Genesis live album and it looked interesting. The song starts very calm and normally I would have stopped listening after 30 seconds but there was something that made me continue to listen to it. And after 3,30 I was rewarded with the heavy part. I was hooked. I bought the record and it is still one of my favorites. It opened up the world of symphonic rock (as we called it then, nowadays it is progressive rock) I found Gentle Giant, Yes, PFM, Camel, King Crimson and many more.
Absolutely amazing ... a lifelong yes, genesis, pink floyd, ELP, king crimson, rush and led zep fan bows his head in reverence to your amazing recreation....
I was blown away by their incredible performance in mid Wales last night. Musical Box was out of this world and brought the crowd to its feet. A joy to witness fantastic musicians performing with such joy and precision 😊
Just fabulous.Saw The Musical Box in Winnipeg last night.Great experience but this singer has the Gabriel voice that makes the band complete.Superb musicianship
I just saw them in Zoetermeer, Netherlands, superb performance great musicians with perfect feeling and charisma. They played the magical Genesis numbers with finesse and great musicianship.
Saw Genesis play this on 24th February 1973 in Manchester on the Foxtrot tour, The Watch play this at the Robin 2 in April 2012, and Steve Hackett and band on 7th August 2014 at Cropredy. Always a classic, and this is an excellent rendition
Desde Chile, sudamerica. Un saludo y felicitaciones por tan excelente interpretaciones, de verdad es un placer escucharlos, un un abrazo genésico desde latinoamerica. Muchas gracias.
Absolutely FABULOUS! I am stunned - I am a keyboard player, who loves Genesis, and I completely appreciate the work and the execution of all of this - the dynamics, the spot-on musicianship, and the uncanny vocals. WOW. Thank you so much for sharing this, and for setting out to create this video, and the other one I just watched, of The Fountains of Salmacis.
Es el primer video suyo que veo y vaya sorpresa !!!! Es el mejor cover de Genesis que he escuchado en más de 40 años. Son grandes Voces, grandes músicos. Le imprimieron Gracia, personalidad y la Lírica Italiana que es poderosa. Es la madre de todas las líricas Engrandecieron el sonido de Genesis.
They are the unique interpreters of music progressive of the ancient Genesis :the Genesis I loved and I'm gonna love for evere! Many thanks to The Watch to be what they are!❤❤❤
No running about all over the place; just sheer delight and enjoyment in the faces of these boys! We enjoy what you do because YOU do! I close my eyes and its Genesis, with Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel, i open my eyes and i see the concentration and sheer pleasure you guys put in every time! Its a joy to see and hear!
Thank you for keeping the flame, I had the great pleasure of catching them in Niagara Falls years ago.. great concert and having a chance to chat with them after the show at a small restaurant, ( they enjoyed the Buffalo Wings) very unassuming and friendly, wish I had the opportunity to see them again
Is everyone watching this aware that they have 9 studio albums of their own (One under the name The Night Watch) and ALL are 5 stars albums!!! the albums are the way Genesis should have sounded if they were still around!
This is so close the original album cut, down to the drum strokes and amp settings. Really, I have listened to the original so many times, and as a drummer learned to play the song in my own little cover band when I was a teenager, so this comes from an experienced musician and sound engineer (I stop years ago, but still...) and you have done a fantastic job covering this epic song. Cover may not be the right word, it is a detailed recreation of the album track, and emotional arc of the song. Bravo!
Absolutely brilliant, superb and perfect. I would even say I enjoy this version more than the original. With permission of Mr.Collins, I prefer Marco's drums than his. I saw this band playing in Wales in 2010, Summer's end festival, and I was shocked with Supper's ready version. Marco, thanks for giving me your sticks!!. I've got them very well kept. I wish you all the best and I hope to see you again soon!!!
This is just amazing. Was looking forward to seeing you guys at the Acapela Cardiff this month. Hopefully you wil be able to re arrange for next year. Hanging on to my tickets.

Gotta say if I close my eyes I cannot tell that this is not Genesis. Best cover I’ve ever seen of any song by any band . Just incredible
You have to check 'The Watch' albums . These guys are serious .
Absolutely superb!!!!! But a Genesis keyboard player must never smile :o)
Perchè no? Gode . Qui non si imta i personaggi. Si suona divinamente chi si ama in maniera divina.

Steve Hackett is a genius guitarist who was years ahead of his time when this was wrtten. Props to this guitarist for doing this song justice.
he perform with Genetics from Argentina.
Hackett joined after the song was completed and the guitar parts were written mainly by Anthony Philips and Mick Barnard.

Italians really have a reverence for Genesis. So cool.
Verissimo ❤!
Puoi dirlo forte amico mio

This is a terrific sound that I hearing from the watch that is paying tribute to genesis the greatest band ever.
Why don't you touch me....... touch me.... Why don't you touch me........ touch me..... touch me now...... now..... now.... now.... now.... now........ Simply a Masterpiece.

Bellissimo lavoro di musicisti straordinari!! Bravo!
I just heard about this band - they are excellent - a faithful rendition of a classic Genesis song. Bravo!
I love that song - since the very first time I heard it - when it was released
Am a Genesis fan since my High School in late 1970's. You guys are right on! Sound, notes, rhythm, energy, effects, ...
Absolutely no words (and some tears)! 👊
Musical Box is my 2nd favorite song of all time ( next to 2112) this version is amazing... thanks Guys for not ruining the song.
Only Italians 'get' early 70s genesis! So much more than just the notes .. grazie!
Excellent. I still have the album I bought back in the day.
Oh thank you so much I'm so glad I found this

beautiful rendering of the song. even the voice of the singer approximates Peter Gabriel's voice --- very well done.
What a great voice!!!
