    The great Steve Hackett on guitar. Phil Collins on drums. Peter Gabriel on vocals and flute. Mike Rutherford on bas and bass pedals. Tony Banks on keys. Five incredible musicians in their most creative and innovative period. It was fun seeing you react to it. You're almost ready for Suppers Ready. Also Fountain of Salmacis from the same album as thi.

    The liner notes are essential for this one:
    While Henry Hamilton-Smythe minor (8) was playing croquet with Cynthia Jane De Blaise-William (9), sweet-smiling Cynthia raised her mallet high and gracefully removed Henry's head. Two weeks later, in Henry's nursery, she discovered his treasured musical box. Eagerly she opened it and as "Old King Cole" began to play, a small spirit-figure appeared. Henry had returned - but not for long, for as he stood in the room his body began ageing rapidly, leaving a child's mind inside. A lifetime's desires surged through him. Unfortunately the attempt to persuade Cynthia Jane to fulfill his romantic desire led his nurse to the nursery to investigate the noise. Instinctively Nanny hurled the musical box at the bearded child, destroying both.

    Here's a bit of trivia for you: on that 2nd fast passage, after "and i touch her warmth", you might think those overlapping solo sounds like Steve's guitar all the way through...but it isn't. 😉 It's actually Tony playing his Höhner electric piano through a fuzzbox and creating call and response moments with Steve. He did this, whilst Genesis were performing as a four-piece after Phil joined and before they auditioned Steve. They were struggling to find a successor to their original guitarist, Anthony Phillips, who had left due to suffering from huge bouts of stage fright. So Tony bravely handled all the guitar parts on his keyboards during their search. That actually made him grow as a musician and taught him to play two keyboards at the same time.
    For a brief time, they had a guy called Mick Barnard on lead guitar, who was good, but didn’t last long.

    I was a hard core YES fan when I first began to hear some Genesis on the radio. I wasn't terribly impressed early on; I'd hear "moments" that sounded good, but then stretches of Gabriel doing his visuals performance thing. It wasn't until I heard *Squonk* that I began to get interested enough to buy a Genesis album. From that point on I was a big fan for several albums, until they "went commercial" with the pop song fetish.
    Looking back, I wasn't even that big a fan of Supper's Ready. I mean, it had some nice stretches, but overall it was a bit tedious to me. The first of their songs that I thought was really great was *Firth Of Fifth.* This Musical Box was mostly meh to me, but I did like *The Cage* that showed up on a later album. When I first heard *Watchers Of The Sky* on the radio, I had _some_ mild interest, but it was only after I heard the song performed live by a cover band at some Club that I became super impressed. Genesis' best creations really do need to be heard at high volume to be appreciated.
    Due to the breadth & depth of their creations during their peak Prog Era (after Peter Gabriel left) I became a big Genesis fan, which I consider the 2nd best ever Prog band after YES

      The astonishing thing is that Hackett is still touring and playing a lot of old Genesis music, along with his own music. I saw him in March, one of the greatest live musical evenings I’ve ever had. The man is a genius.

    I also discovered Nurcery Cryme retro after Selling England..., but a top album, although linguistically I had to work on these typically "English" songs. The Return Of Giant Hogwood and the live standard Fountain Of Salmacis are further album highlights; Actually the whole album is worth listening to and so are the next five studio albums.
    Supper's Ready, Firth Of Filth etc ...etc are the popular ones, but they are so "verbate" musically that the genius phase of Genesis comes too quickly. The live album Second's Out is great, but when Steve Hackett left, the magic was gone for me: the alternating and equal playing between guitar and keys was missing.
    P.S. the Rainbow concert in 1973 is awesome/rights?

      Hey, thanks for the thorough comment, really appreciate it.

    Mate, as I mentioned in your first Genesis reaction, one of my favorite bands ever. Where are you from by the way? Got to be the north somewhere yeah? But you're not Scouse doesn't sound like, right? I'm a Yank, but as a big football fan, I have lots of English mates and have a general idea about your various accents/dialects, lol. Back to Genesis though, it's a BIG rabbit hole. Saw you say you're doing Supper's Ready next. But I would say DON'T do the live version first. Personally, I always prefer a studio version on a first listen, just to pick up every nuance the band was trying to achieve. And it wouldn't be a bad idea to check out the short track before Supper's Ready called Horizons, which is a beautiful classical guitar piece by Steve, and do them together. Also great ones from the Peter Gabriel era are Fountain of Salmacis, Watcher of the Skies, Can Utility and the Coastliners, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight, The Cinema Show, and the whole first album of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway lol (it was a double album). Highly suggest you do the songs/albums in chronological order roughly so you can hear the band's evolution and changing sound as it does change so drastically by the end.

    This is the music that I grew up loving. There are very few bands that can play at anything close to this level. As I mentioned in a previous comment, you now need to enter into the live versions of their music. With that in mind, I will suggest again the medley based upon their masterpiece "In the Cage". The perfection that this band demonstrates live is beyond anything you will ever experience. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/_12_-jzqOlE/видео.html
