@lukaf2393 Very well said. I'd pay to see the trio version in concert, as they were a solid pop group until the end. I'd pay and buy a T-shirt for the quartet, because they were a VERY good prog band. I'd give a kidney (preferably someone else's) to watch the Classic 5. 4 years together. 4 incredible records. The Genesis quintet belongs with the greatest groups in the history of music. Nice video. Cheers.
I remember seeing the front cover of music magazine (think Sounds) with Gabriel leaves Genesis and I was gutted. Got into Genesis around Selling England… A local band known as Rainbow (changed their name to Pallas cause of Ritchie) and they used to play a lot of Prog Rock, including The Knife from Trespass. Bought all the early records and saw them first live when they toured Trick of the Tail and then Peter when he did his first untitled solo album. Phil was a different front man and he did a great job as they progressed to more mainstream, but always felt that they were better with Steve and of course Peter. That said, they pleased a lot of fans for many years. Well done guys.
Thank God and Steve Hackett for keeping this amazing material alive with touring that music and... playing it above and beyond the original lineup. I know because I've experienced Steve and his great band live.
IMO Steve's Genesis Revisited rendition of the song is more polished and cohesive. It could only be bettered if Peter were singing it. (Not to take anything away from Nad, however.)
It must be so hard to keep following someone else's recipes when everyone is a great chef on their own. At some point, you want to run your own kitchen
Listening to them for over 50 years, the band and the individuals, brilliant everyone of them. 70 next year, disabled and very ill, but every time I hear any or all of them I am transported back, and very, very happy. Long may you all live and make music.
Soooo much talent! Beyond a mere mortal’s grasp of understanding! Love all these guys for their amazing contribution to my 77 year old life experience! God Bless Genesis. Much love mates.
Probably the most talent in one single band in human history. And all the solo work. Incredible. Hackett and Banks changed the least I think. Getting them all in one room must have been tough!
@maval4537 I can see where you're coming from. I believe Gabriel & Hackett have always remained friendly, but it looks significant that those 2 appear to sit a little isolated. And I bet Banks is a bit irked that the Genesis threesome era is NOT revered in the same way as the fivesome or even foursome eras
I got introduced to the Gabriel-era Genesis pretty late, and I have to say Peter's vocal performance at the end of Supper's Ready is one of the greatest in rock history. It just delivers.
No me canso de decir que estos 5 Colosos juntos, nos dejaron una tremenda obra que perdurará en la historia del rock progresivo. Genesis verdaderos pioneros en el género.
Para mi junto a King Crimson son de lo mejor, y lo siento por los fans de YES y Jethro Tull pero no son bandas de mi agrado y creanme que escuche sus discos pero no me emociona como lo logra hacer esta banda con Peter Gabriel y con Phill collins.
It was because of these five that got me interested in their music. As a matter of fact thanks to them I performed as part of my drum lessons the ending sequence of the album Seconds Out and amazed my drum teacher and he wanted to know how I learned that so well and it was by studying all of them then putting it to drums, thank you Steve, Peter, Tony, Mike and Phil for starting my drum career
A lot of bands have turmoil within the group. Genesis never did. They remained friends for all these years. Best band ever. I miss them. Thanks John for another great interview.
I always found it so strange how many classic band mates don’t like each other..From the Beatles to Oasis to The Eagles,even Hall and Oates!.Music fame must change people
My greatest appreciation for Genesis, who has shaped my whole life, as a faithful companion in so many beautiful and difficult life situations. Especially Phil, who gave me the “spark” to start playing drums at the age of 14. My first album was Nursery Crime in 1971, but the album I listen to the most to this day is probably Seconds Out Live, which I bought in 1977. So, once again, my biggest thanks for music that is definitely timeless and contains more than one MASTERPIECE! 🎼🎵🎶🎹 🎸🥁❤💖
@Raiiman great love it mate also followed them since the beginning saw them many times in early 70.s and steve 70.s onwards still,today great live and band of musicians
The first time I heard Suppers Ready, my mind opened up to the possibility of music for expression in the format of a 'rock band'. As I am older now, I feel that was actually secondary. Supper's Ready is expressing the divine. Every time, and mean every single time, I hear the end I weep. I mean, you know it, but I have to put it here; Can't you feel our souls ignite? Shedding ever-changing colours In the darkness of the fading night Like the river joins the ocean As the germ in a seed grows We've finally been freed to get back home There's an angel standing in the Sun And he's crying with a loud voice "This is the supper of the mighty one" Lord of lords, king of kings Has returned to lead his children home To take them to the New Jerusalem! That is divine. That is eternal and good.
This video is by far in my top 10 of all times to re-watch all over again. I was like catching lightning in a bottle. I truly wished it could be possible to reunite them for once more, maybe for a podcast series to go even deeper into stories they forgot to mention that time.
There's tons of prog interviews out there now. Tony does a long one with his cherry red record label. Steve is ALWAYS doing interviews and about this time. Peter has done some long form ones for various organizations. Ironically Mike does the least, mostly beause he at least was still performing so is just doing the really crappy mainstream media interviews where they ask the same idiotic questions, but he did one with that podcast that that guy from status quo did during the lockdown.
So good to see these guys all in the same room talking about what they accomplished. Phil looks well here, too. Thanks for posting this. They were part of the reason I went into radio, as what you guys across the pond would call a "presenter." In the US, I was called a rock DJ.
Thanks! Have a pint. Thanks for this. The big guys get all the glory. Genesis was magic, still are, and I think it still befuddles them too how and why that X factor. This body of work of yours and team only reaffirms who they all are and how very un rock they were/are.
Just an astounding collection of talent with those five! Still scratching my head 50+ years later with those early compositions...Suppers Ready, The Lamb Lies Down...
I will admit, my heart quaked just a little at the beginning when Peter & Phil stood awkwardly, maybe pointedly, not hugging eachother as everyone exchanged hugs. But every time the camera pulled back to reveal ALL FIVE OF THEM sitting side by side I did a little invisible leap of joy, haha. Fantastic interview! Well done focussing on the creative side--how songs came to be written, how the sound & visual aspects came together etc--rather than typical 'band stories/road to success'. And wow the band dynamics came out immediately, tho obviously passions have mellowed & they're more philosophical about their conflicts now. So much of what you post is...to call it priceless isn't an exaggeration. Thank you so much for sharing your work here.
@@halcyon289 they're actually the closest friends, as far as I know! the last picture after the last Genesis show backstage, is Peter, Phil and Richard McPhail.
It's possible that Pete and Phil had already done their initial "hug" greeting, off camera and just prior to this bit of filming and were both reluctant to replicate it "just for show".....I mean....I wouldn't do that either if that was the case. So their look of "awkwardness" may just be a mutual "we've already hugged".....and "so long as WE know this, sod what it might look like on the edit"......type thing.
Steve has quietly been one of my biggest influences for years. His parts were always interesting, and he's kept the magic of early Genesis alive. When I saw him live a few years ago, I got to say "hello" after the gig. He was so humble, and touched that those songs were getting through to a younger generation (I was 26 at the time).
Thanks again for uploading all these interviews John. Musical history with the classic line up in a room together talking about their music. I love how they get along.
Love watching these videos. Such an interesting interaction between them, real fondness between them and at the same time, feels completely impossible that there could be any musical reunion, even for a live show. Just grew into different people by then so much. Thankful we have what we have! ☺
Aware of the sensitivity & respect between them. Also have a feeling there was a fair bit of self restraint & good humour throughout the session. Thanks to a group of highly creative individual artists for all they've given over time.
Over 90 albums as a group and as individual artists combined. No other collection of musicians have produced so much in the rock genre. I'll argue this to my grave that these five gentlemen were the best collection of musicians to band together. This also doesn't count the many other ventures and mediums that they've been involved in, and they're all still around and adding to their legacies.
I was so lucky to have been introduced to Genesis aged 16 (now 62) with ‘And then there were three’ album. Went to them live in Bradford aged 17 and have seen them since many times as a band and individually as well. No other band has such talent in all their members like Genesis.
Los mayores genio del rock sinfónico ...verlos juntos es un deleite ,su musica es parte de nuestra historia , nuestras fibras sensibles mas profundas. Enhorabuena !!👏 🎉❤
MY ALL TIME HEROES WITHOUT EQUAL YET SO CRITIZED SO UNDERRATED EVER THOSE WHO KNOW, KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THESE ARE GENUINE BRILLANT MUSICIANS AND UNPARALLELED MUSIC UNTOUCHABLE IN EVERY WAY
Each of their speaking voices has a unique timbre to it. Very pleasing mix to listen to, from wispy to reedy to raspy to clean, lower baritone to higher tenor. And musically, their skill is obvious.
Seit über 50 Jahren meine Lieblingsband.Mit Peter und ohne Peter und auch Peter als Solokünstler. Carpet Crawlers soll auf meiner Trauerfeier gespielt werden.😂
Absolutely, Cuckoo Cocoon wouldn`t be the same without it nor the Musical Box or Get em out by Friday or Supper`s Ready. Even the end of The Lamia has a bit of flute. It was a beautiful added element to their songs.
Blimey! the middle class vs the working class right here. I can't imagine what it was like in the studio for those first few albums after Ant Phillips left and Steve joined. 2 working class oiks against 3 middle class prefects.. still, that qualifies as a fair fight in my book. These five guys had the most profound musical effect on me since The Beatles. The Lamb was already 4 years old when I first heard it as a 16 year old punky type, and it very quickly became my "play every day" album, often twice a day. I didn't know music like that existed, which honestly, before that, I don't think it did. It literally knocked everything else music wise out of my life for a long time. I used to walk around the wintry streets with it playing in my head. The story too, with my leather jacket zipped up against the icy cold wind, just like Rael. I learned to play guitar with this album 40 years ago but I still can't play like (or sound anything like) Steve Hackett. "Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist".... OK, I give up, here's my guitar, amp, strap and fuzz box, I can't do it like him. And as for keyboards... FUHGEDDABOUDIT!! I sold most of them when I understood what being a genius meant (step forward and take a bow, Mr. A. Banks) Great band, copied by a few (early Marillion with Fish was ok) but never ever equaled in my opinion. But hey Guys... Always remember... "Undinal songs urge the sailors on Till lured by the sirens' cry..." Yeah... I know... I know... Thanks for the film @John Edginton 🙂
I was lucky enough to know Amanda gallo their photographer, who at 16 took me back stage on the trick of the tail tour. I met the band as they drifted around back stage. Steve was very quiet and shy but great to chat too, Phil was larger than life and a great laugh I had my photo taken with Phil, Mike total gentleman, and ended up having a sort of argument with Tony about genesis going into a commercial route. I sort of always thought Tony ruled the band and when steve left I never bought another genesis LP. They had lost what made them, their complex musical structures, meaningful lyrics, wonderful guitar parts etc. It felt like the loss of a loved one, it’s hard to explain, like this music I felt connected too was lost to me.
For those worried about Peter and Phil. I saw Pete at his test gig in Bath pre the release of "Car" with Phil playing drums. it was raw, rough and magical. Best of friends.
Mon frangin aîné de 4 ans m'a fait découvrir genesis et le rock à 14 ans! Ce groupe a une place à part! Mes albums favoris sont foxtrot, Selling England by the pound et The lamb lies down on Broadway ! 🥰
I always Hoped for a Reunion Tour of GENESIS...But i knew that Peter had his own Solo ideas ..As well as the other band mates...BUT I'm So HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR EPIC ALBUMS..!! LOVE ALL THEIR WORKS...💯💯💯💯💯💜💜💜💜💜🎧🎤🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🥰🥰🥰🥰
I've seen so many interviews with Peter over the years, and I don't think I've ever seen him break into spontaneous, broad smile laughs. Great to see him happy. Tony's comment, "you're 30 years too late" to Steve was offhand and nasty, and probably speaks to his character.
I think Tony was just being cynical. They all know that he was the cynic in the band. Besides, Tony's a fan of Steve's work. He loves Blood On The Rooftops and he complimented him on Ace Of Wands.
@@aleclewis9123 Interesting . I`ve always been annoyed at Tony`s attitude towards Steve, even if I think the world of him as a keyboardist and a song writer, but to see them both hug at the beginning of this video was a very pleasant surprise. It`s nice to see that they`re not cold to each other.
@@paulcarfantan6688 Despite the disagreements within the band, they really do get along, e.g. Tony went to Steve's 53rd birthday party in 2003. Both of them were even close to re-recording the song The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway for Steve's first Genesis Revisited album. Phil says about Tony and Mike in his autobiography, "Tony and Mike have become more lovable as time goes on, which is the reverse of the traditional rock-band narrative. Tony, formerly rather diffident and difficult to talk to, has become a great friend, funny and witty. He’s a different person, especially with a glass of wine in him. Mike, too, has loosened up." You must remember, Mike, Peter and Tony had stern educational upbringings and Phil came from a drama school, where education was minimal. Steve was also close to leaving the band during the Foxtrot sessions, but Tony and Mike gently sat him down and encouragingly said "we don't want you to leave".
@@aleclewis9123 Very interesting. Re-recording The Lamb would have been something curious to listen to, a bit like their 1999 re-recording of the The Carpet Crawlers. Indeed Tony has mellowed with age which is a good thing and yes that Charterhouse schooling instilled in them a "stiff upper lip" attitude. I remember the three of them saying they were envious of ho Phil could easily joke around and hug someone, since that`s not how you would behave at their school. The last part about Steve is intriguing since I`ve read about eight books in the last 43 years and never heard about him wanting to leave at that time. Good thing they convinced him otherwise, I mean what a guitarist that guy is, such an innovator in multiple guitar sounds. He`s one third of my "Steve trio" of guitarists, along with Howe and Rothery. Cheers.
@@AmandaBooth-e6j Yes, you're right. I'm a huge PG fan. But you know, I have all the Genesis albums without PG and the first three Phil Collins albums and one Mike and the Mechanics album...on vinyl, of course. I'm loyal to the good people. Greetings from Gallaecia😉
Au-delà de l'étiquette ''prog'', Genesis a créé un son unique, une musique qui nous a séduit grâce à son originalité et une virtuosité, c'est à dire la réunion de talents musicales hors du commun.
For you thinking there is an issue between peter and phil. Look at Peter eagerly laughing at Phils jokes. Phil and Pete are probably the best friends there
I have every album from Genesis as well as every solo album from each member. I would scour the credits for who played on their albums and would often seek them out as well.

@@raymondvaughan6262 The greatest!
Supper's Ready still sounds as superb today as it did back in the 70s. A genius track that has never been bettered for me.

I love listening to artists taking about how they made their art.
Very heartwarming seeing these mates get together having a good time and reminiscing ❤❤❤❤❤
I feel moved , I grew up in Medellín, Colombia " with" these
musicians ... SPECIAL regards
Muchas gracias chicos!!!!
I was so lucky to have been introduced to Genesis aged 16 (now 62) with ‘And then there were three’ album. Went to them live in Bradford aged 17 and have seen them since many times as a band and individually as well. No other band has such talent in all their members like Genesis.
Amazing how decades have changed them, especially Phil and Peter.
Gracias Juan por esta belleza !!! Una pena que me pierda la mitad de los diálogos por no tener una buena base de inglés. Abrazo.
A melhor banda de rock de todos os tempos, Suppers Ready, the musical box, The knife , só para citar poucas , são OBRAS PRIMAS..
The greatest band ever to walk this planet!
Los mayores genio del rock sinfónico ...verlos juntos es un deleite ,su musica es parte de nuestra historia , nuestras fibras sensibles mas profundas.
Enhorabuena !!👏 🎉❤
Diría de la música popular contemporánea junto a los Beatles y los floyd la perfección de la música
One Hell of a Band!! I regret not seeing Genesis or Yes in concert!!
Great musicians.Great music all over the years
MY ALL TIME HEROES
WITHOUT EQUAL
YET SO CRITIZED
SO UNDERRATED EVER
THOSE WHO KNOW, KNOW WHAT I MEAN, THESE ARE GENUINE BRILLANT MUSICIANS AND UNPARALLELED MUSIC
UNTOUCHABLE IN EVERY WAY
Top shelf talent across the board.
Thanx for your brilliant music, especially Firth of Fifth.
The tallent of these 5 men changed modern music profoundly and influnced so many more performers....Legends All.
Saw Genesis three times,Steve Hackett in 1981 at the Reading Festival,and again 2022 in Genesis revisited,all superb musicians.
Each of their speaking voices has a unique timbre to it. Very pleasing mix to listen to, from wispy to reedy to raspy to clean, lower baritone to higher tenor. And musically, their skill is obvious.
Thanx for all
Geniuses at work 😍❤ Timeless band ❤
It was wonderful
Fascinating insight into history that was a formative part of my childhood.
Great how they all get along,
Seit über 50 Jahren meine Lieblingsband.Mit Peter und ohne Peter und auch Peter als Solokünstler.
Carpet Crawlers soll auf meiner Trauerfeier gespielt werden.😂
The flute was definitely a beautiful musical touch in their songs. They write if off as kind of a joke, but it worked very well.
Absolutely, Cuckoo Cocoon wouldn`t be the same without it nor the Musical Box or Get em out by Friday or Supper`s Ready. Even the end of The Lamia has a bit of flute. It was a beautiful added element to their songs.
God Bless you five gentleman. Amazing musicians!!
Blimey! the middle class vs the working class right here.
I can't imagine what it was like in the studio for those first few albums after Ant Phillips left and Steve joined.
2 working class oiks against 3 middle class prefects.. still, that qualifies as a fair fight in my book.
These five guys had the most profound musical effect on me since The Beatles.
The Lamb was already 4 years old when I first heard it as a 16 year old punky type, and it very quickly became my "play every day" album, often twice a day.
I didn't know music like that existed, which honestly, before that, I don't think it did.
It literally knocked everything else music wise out of my life for a long time.
I used to walk around the wintry streets with it playing in my head.
The story too, with my leather jacket zipped up against the icy cold wind, just like Rael.
I learned to play guitar with this album 40 years ago but I still can't play like (or sound anything like) Steve Hackett.
"Here Comes the Supernatural Anaesthetist"....
OK, I give up, here's my guitar, amp, strap and fuzz box, I can't do it like him.
And as for keyboards...
FUHGEDDABOUDIT!!
I sold most of them when I understood what being a genius meant (step forward and take a bow, Mr. A. Banks)
Great band, copied by a few (early Marillion with Fish was ok) but never ever equaled in my opinion.
But hey Guys... Always remember...
"Undinal songs urge the sailors on
Till lured by the sirens' cry..."
Yeah... I know...
I know...
Thanks for the film @John Edginton 🙂
Thank you for your brilliant appreciative comments !!
Steve is very far from being an oik
I was lucky enough to know Amanda gallo their photographer, who at 16 took me back stage on the trick of the tail tour. I met the band as they drifted around back stage. Steve was very quiet and shy but great to chat too, Phil was larger than life and a great laugh I had my photo taken with Phil, Mike total gentleman, and ended up having a sort of argument with Tony about genesis going into a commercial route. I sort of always thought Tony ruled the band and when steve left I never bought another genesis LP. They had lost what made them, their complex musical structures, meaningful lyrics, wonderful guitar parts etc.
It felt like the loss of a loved one, it’s hard to explain, like this music I felt connected too was lost to me.
I felt that way when Gabriel left in `75 !
This is so great. Our heros.
For those worried about Peter and Phil. I saw Pete at his test gig in Bath pre the release of "Car" with Phil playing drums. it was raw, rough and magical. Best of friends.
Una de las bandas más grandes de todos los tiempos. Está entre mis tres bandas favoritas. En especial, la etapa Peter Gabriel.
Peter Gabriel was overrated beyond words so quit acting as if Gabriel was god which he was more like the devil and weird as fuc-.
Diría que con los Beatles y los floyd las más grandiosas bandas que ha partido este planeta
Mon frangin aîné de 4 ans m'a fait découvrir genesis et le rock à 14 ans! Ce groupe a une place à part! Mes albums favoris sont foxtrot, Selling England by the pound et The lamb lies down on Broadway ! 🥰
J'espère que vous adorez aussi Nursery, Trick, Wind et même Duke 🙂
@BenjaminMorel-gp2et oui bien sûr...duke un peu Genesis rentrait dans une période disons plus commerciale!
@@cestdenisquildit3992 Duke's Travels est génialissime. Je le mets au même niveau que The Cinema Show 😀
I always Hoped for a Reunion Tour of GENESIS...But i knew that Peter had his own Solo ideas ..As well as the other band mates...BUT I'm So HAPPY TO HAVE THEIR EPIC ALBUMS..!! LOVE ALL THEIR WORKS...💯💯💯💯💯💜💜💜💜💜🎧🎤🎹🎹🎹🎹🎹🥁🥁🥁🎸🎸🥰🥰🥰🥰
For a guy who's lyrics and demeanor were so cerebral, Peter has a really jovial laugh. Seems like he'd be a lot of fun to hang out with.
Excellent interview, congrats
The very best of the very best for ever.
Amavo i Genesis quando avevo 15 anni li amo ancora adesso che ne ho 66 ogni volta che li ascolto ho i brividi
A melhor banda de rock progressivo do mundo, com certeza!
I've seen so many interviews with Peter over the years, and I don't think I've ever seen him break into spontaneous, broad smile laughs. Great to see him happy. Tony's comment, "you're 30 years too late" to Steve was offhand and nasty, and probably speaks to his character.
I think there was some justification he left at the time when they were rising and to lose an integral part of the band was cruel of Steve I think.
I think Tony was just being cynical. They all know that he was the cynic in the band.
Besides, Tony's a fan of Steve's work. He loves Blood On The Rooftops and he complimented him on Ace Of Wands.
@@aleclewis9123 Interesting . I`ve always been annoyed at Tony`s attitude towards Steve, even if I think the world of him as a keyboardist and a song writer, but to see them both hug at the beginning of this video was a very pleasant surprise. It`s nice to see that they`re not cold to each other.
@@paulcarfantan6688 Despite the disagreements within the band, they really do get along, e.g. Tony went to Steve's 53rd birthday party in 2003. Both of them were even close to re-recording the song The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway for Steve's first Genesis Revisited album.
Phil says about Tony and Mike in his autobiography, "Tony and Mike have become more lovable as time goes on, which is the reverse of the traditional rock-band narrative. Tony, formerly rather diffident and difficult to talk to, has become a great friend, funny and witty. He’s a different person, especially with a glass of wine in him. Mike, too, has loosened up."
You must remember, Mike, Peter and Tony had stern educational upbringings and Phil came from a drama school, where education was minimal.
Steve was also close to leaving the band during the Foxtrot sessions, but Tony and Mike gently sat him down and encouragingly said "we don't want you to leave".
@@aleclewis9123 Very interesting. Re-recording The Lamb would have been something curious to listen to, a bit like their 1999 re-recording of the The Carpet Crawlers. Indeed Tony has mellowed with age which is a good thing and yes that Charterhouse schooling instilled in them a "stiff upper lip" attitude. I remember the three of them saying they were envious of ho Phil could easily joke around and hug someone, since that`s not how you would behave at their school. The last part about Steve is intriguing since I`ve read about eight books in the last 43 years and never heard about him wanting to leave at that time. Good thing they convinced him otherwise, I mean what a guitarist that guy is, such an innovator in multiple guitar sounds. He`s one third of my "Steve trio" of guitarists, along with Howe and Rothery. Cheers.
Thankssssss❤❤❤
You're the GOAT!!! PG and friends!!! With love from Galicia.
You mean Phil Collins and friends because they were a bigger band without PG.....
@@AmandaBooth-e6j Well, I think that without PG, Phl and friends.... selling Genesis by the pound- Greetings from Gallaecia!
@@MrENSOGA hate Gabriel's voice reminds me of nails on a chalkboard. Sorry I can't take it Gabriel fans no offense to you all.
@@AmandaBooth-e6j Yes, you're right. I'm a huge PG fan. But you know, I have all the Genesis albums without PG and the first three Phil Collins albums and one Mike and the Mechanics album...on vinyl, of course. I'm loyal to the good people. Greetings from Gallaecia😉
@@Espejo-hv2nz sorry I did kind of go off. Oops 🤐
Au-delà de l'étiquette ''prog'', Genesis a créé un son unique, une musique qui nous a séduit grâce à son originalité et une virtuosité, c'est à dire la réunion de talents musicales hors du commun.
For you thinking there is an issue between peter and phil. Look at Peter eagerly laughing at Phils jokes. Phil and Pete are probably the best friends there
Maybe they came in together and didn't need to greet again. Who knows.
@@kurtnovells
I think the same
Unos verdaderos genios y un gran placer verlos reír juntos. Su música perdurará por siempre.
Together fantastic❤❤❤❤😊
So much talent and creativity and this band
i loved them all..solo and in bands.
Pete is such a kind and humble guy, and seems quite easygoing. I think I would enjoy having a beer with him.
Viva Genesis‼️✌️
Sad to think we won't be seeing Phil and guys again on tour😂
One of the best bands on my list wow
Me atrevo a decir junto con los Beatles y pink floyd la más grandiosa banda de música que ha dado el siglo 20
the who, king crimson and jethro tull as well
I have every album from Genesis as well as every solo album from each member. I would scour the credits for who played on their albums and would often seek them out as well.
I Love this band songs .thank you for influence In all the Music universe. 〰️〰️🟠🔭
