Our first time watching Genesis ever!!! We decided to start with Peter Gabriel era Genesis. 

We were more than amazed!! We had no idea Genesis was so theatrical and really enjoyed this concert. The music is just fantastic and Peter Gabriel is such an amazing showman and singer. Just mesmerizing from start to finish!

We hope you enjoy as much as we did!

Thanks for the support

We love you guys!

Nick, Alexia and Marley

Those majestic opening chords to Watcher were from the Mellotron that Tony Banks played in the 70s. A huge bulky keyboard that could replicate orchestral instruments and sounds that was used extensively by the Moody Blues, King Crimson and Genesis. The mellotron had tapes in it with the sounds of symphonic instruments, violins, cellos, various horns and even choir voices. That's why Genesis always sounded so orchestral and symphonic, Banks was in effect replicating a mini orchestra. That's also why Genesis, Yes, Kansas, ELP were considered Symphonic Progressive Rock. Its the classical influences.

I'll take Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering over Peter's first 2 albums anytime. He didn't hit his stride until Melt.

Happy to see you enjoying Genesis so much. One thing that many people don't notice (mainly because the camera never shows it), is Mike Rutherford on the double neck 12 string and bass guitar. When he's playing the 12 string he's also probably playing the bass pedals with his feet.

JRCortez

My first exposure to Genesis was their double LP live album, "Seconds Out" from 1977. IMHO, one of the greatest live LP's of all time. By this time, Peter had left the band and Phil Collins was lead singer. So I am a little biased because I saw him first. Phil also played drums but as the second drummer during most of the concert.

JRCortez

BTW, Supper's Ready is so much better live, whether with Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins.....

Oh fantastic! What a great place to start with your Genesis concert videos. I love this Shepperton concert. Their staging got even more elaborate, culminating with the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour. And Gabriel’s solo tours were always highly theatrical. He has released a number of fantastic live shows on video. I would highly recommend “Secret World Live” and “Still Growing Up Live”. The staging and concepts for both tours were by Canadian director Robert Lepage.

The month started out slow, but you are on fire with reactions this month. I think that is why your members have jumped.

Brilliant performance. I've seen a similar show "Bataclan"? (On YouTube) But only a couple songs. If I remember correctly, "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" was one of the songs.

Guys, I think I mentioned this in a YouTube comment many months ago, but keep an eye out for concert dates in your area by a band called The Musical Box. They do astonishing recreations of 1970s-era Genesis concerts. They purchased from Genesis all the sets and costumes from their Peter Gabriel-era tours, and they use all the same amps, guitars, keyboards and drums that Genesis used on each tour. The lead vocalist even shaves his head like Gabriel, and does all the between song patter. He’s quite amazing. The members of Genesis have given the band their blessing. Some of them have actually sat in and played with The Musical Box at shows. And Gabriel took his kids to see one of their concerts because he wanted them to see what their dad used to do for a living. I’ve seen them do the Selling England by the Pound tour (same staging and costumes as this Shepperton concert) and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour.

This is my favorite Genesis era. Love it. The era after Peter left is still very, very good. Up until about 1980, after that it was rather hit and miss. But still there are many songs that I thoroughly enjoy in that '80-'83 period. After that, I'm mostly uninterested.

Andrew A

It’s an audience cam video, but it’s worth watching just to see how accurate a recreation they do. This is The Musical Box doing Watcher of the Skies, the first song Genesis played in the Shepperton film. https://youtu.be/eqcJRPBPvLU

You should skip to the yes live stuff. It's time

We were hungry to be transported by trippy entertainment. Genesis was part minstrel show, part Punch and Judy festival, part trippy fantasy, part social commentary, part Cirque du Soleil. Brilliant! Great idea to experience this live. You can’t fully comprehend just hearing it. Thanks - great Patreon perk! ✨🤪

NicknLex

We know... COVID set us back more than two weeks without being able to record! Thanks for your patience! :)

ProgRockFan

Have you guys heard about Steve Hackett's "Genesis Revisited" concerts?

Paul Dray

If you want to find a later live recording then ‘Seconds Out’ is definitely worth checking out. Combines classic Gabriel era tracks with material from the excellent Trick of the Tail album.

Subscribed to your Patreon because you did the whole concert. Great reaction. For a higher video quality performance, I highly recommend Bataclan from 1972, I think. The video is amazing, but there are only three or four songs. There is a live video Genesis touring the year after Peter left. Phil did the bulk of the singing at the front of the stage while Bill Bruford (Yes/King Crimson) took the helm on the drums. After that, Genesis hired Chester Thompson (ex- Frank Zappa, circa 1974-75) on drums while Phil continued mostly our front. I think Peter Gabriel was responsible for a small contribution, but wrote most of the lyrics to the early Genesis songs. Sadly, they never filmed the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour even though they knew at the time that it was Peter's last tour and that he was going solo. Sadly, the prog-ness of all of these folks was squeezed out of them as the 1970s moved into the 1980s. For Gensis, the post-Peter Gabriel albums slowly moved away from prog and turned completely to pop rock when Steve Hacket left. Peter's post-Genesis albums are a bit scattered as he tried to find his way, though they do have Robert Fripp playing guitar on them which is cool. As he move through the early 1980s, the albums have more a cohesive sound as Peter perfects his own meld his prog roots with pop sensibilities and African/World music. One of my all-time favorite albums is Peter's soundtrack for the Last Temptation of Christ -- the album is called "Passion" -- which is heavily influenced by Middle Eastern music and Qwalli/Sufi music from Pakistan. Keep up the great work and can't wait for your watching of Yessongs. It won't be as theatrical as Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, but it will still be Yes.

Thank you for the great reaction. No. Peter actually almost never performed anything from Genesis albums by his own. Great concert. Now I wish for you to listen my favorite Genesis album - in fact the last album with Peter - The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. I know it's a long concept double album, but it's really the best album of all time for me. You already listened Carpet Crawlers from this album . They all composed their songs and lyrics but I will give credit to the backbone of the band - Tony Bank, the keyboardist who contributed the most to their masterpieces. In early age and as well in their later pop-rock stuff, Tony is such a underrated musician. Thank you again. That was great!

Bataclan Live (1973), had a seriously Surreal, 4K Remastered Transfer done within the Past Year. It's a Must Viewing.

Jack, Nick and Alexi, here is a 40+ minute Laser Disc Transfer of Genesis Live Segment of a Genesis Movie Concert, which was shown at selected Theaters back in 1978. I saw two Showings. I balled during the Segment of "Suppers Ready Part 2" -- (Apocalypse 9/8 >) Please view this -- https://youtu.be/1RoKJQNREII

Hello again you wonderful whippersnappers! Saw my first Genesis show in ‘78 when i got a free ticket, then i was hooked and saw every tour in the ‘80s and early ‘90s. Wow! Those shows were mind blowing, the sound was so huge! I highly recommend this version of Supper’s Ready for you Lex, listen to the amazing job Phil Collins did when he sang those early Gabriel lines, on my first Genesis album ever, Seconds Out.

Rand Kelly

I saw Genesis for the first time January 22,1975 in Berkeley California playing The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway in it’s entirety with Peter Gabriel. It was astonishing. If you want to see it performed live on YouTube in high quality Canada’s The Musical Box pull it off perfectly with accurate costumes and music like an orchestra plays music written centuries ago.

The Musical Box:The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Live.

Jorge Blasco

G´nite chicos, llegó un nuevo visitante al patreon :), the Seconds Out concert without a doubt should be the next to react, Peter is not there with his fantastic performances, but musically it is the best concert in history, you can find the video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1RoKJQNREII . This is the first Genesis tour without Gabriel in 1976, Phil called his friend, a certain Bill Bruford to play drums. From 1977 onwards, Chester Thompson was the drummer for Genesis at live shows. Lex has already fallen in love with the real Genesis, Nick is very close and Marley just likes reggae music 🤣

Great job, folks. We called Genesis Way back then ‘Art Rock’ before we had the moniker ‘Prog’ as they were always very different and in their own lane from really, anyone else. Remember they were firmly a cult band whist the others such as YES, JT, PF, etc, etc were huge and well respected in the genre and in that time, more linear. It was NOT COOL TO LIKE Genesis. People looked at them as being too light, weird, indirect, silly, posh, etc… the greater whole did not get the art or what they were trying to do. PG has always been of a singular place. Note they all composed, especially PG, TB, and MR and wrote much of the music together — jams to firm compositions. This is composed music, not improvisational. PC was huge as an arranger from the start and did little composing/writing until the 80’s, which is prescient ; he has supposedly a photographic musical memory and can play, well, anything. Phil was very happy being a drummer! He was good, knew it and that was way more than a singer to him. He was a cool cat. He still sees himself as first a drummer. Note, as you guys did, Many thought PG was it all because of his frontman status; this was a collective with the old guard having higher status: pg, tb and mr. Funny you say psychedelic, as they were the straightest — as opposed to the creed and greed of the day — guys, especially PG and Tony Banks who were vegetarian and no drugs at all. A little pot and MR acquired a taste for coke later on, again, very poshly, and light by rock stds haha I saw them ‘76 and many times afterwords as they toured like mad (I lived in Canada: Montreal and Ottawa, and this was the hotbed of Prog in North America)and PG so many times, Hackett many times and PC later on. None of them collectively or separately ever put on a bad show. Not one of over combined 40 + shows. They are and have always been very professional and give their all. PG live is truly an experience and Phil; you can see why he drove himself nuts as he is such a perfectionist…a disease that they all have. Hackett is just a great guy, humble and always rocks the room. Yes, they were very light~operatic, akin to Gilbert & Sullivan - funny, irreverent, omg — and when deep, Mozart like compositions. Take one little piece/notes away and it all collapses. This was composed, though tout art, and not just rock and roll. Great band. We are lucky they all found each other for a bit. 70’s were so anarchic and not quite yet trapped in the biz and spin of marketing. Kk. Too much. Thx for this.

Stephen Derraugh

Ps. I have seen the early shows via the Musical Box a Quebec based band who do this as a art/theatre project and not just a tribute band. Mentioned here by my esteemed fellow travelers’. Shows are simply amazing. My older kids love Genesis beyond — my 27 yr old son pings me often from NZ when he can’t sleep; he puts ‘23 min song’ on, and it centers him — he called it that from age 5. My younger— teens —who are the now coolest as this music is having a renaissance. All 4 of our kids have amazing, broad musical taste, thx impart to ‘art rock’ and jazz, classical, Latin, et al ~ two are quite accomplished musicians. Ps. I saw Rush at my high school in the ‘70’s not to rub it in many many times. Haha it was like losing a freind when NP passed. Still bump into AL via a musician buddy. Canada = small place in our community boxes. Xo

Funny, I hear it as a trained musician and know, right away. And he was training to be an astrophysicist ;). He, TB is his own worst enemy with his very English, upperclass, English way (I was raised by one/scot) and, as well, the others on top of having an amazing canvas to paint on and contributed immensely. PC arrangements/dynamics, etc…. TB really is the base Genesis sound. Remove him. No band. Steve and Tony I believe together made their best music, btw. The tension was unreal and product, outstanding. I look forward to the days we can fool with the mixes, and bring up the guitar just a bit at times. Folks, who don’t know still get confused as they were so in synch as to what is what. Talk about writing for the song. SH was incredible in the band, but is not in the same league as a song writer then or now as TB or PG — his imagination, with rest structures. Amazing. Btw. PG’s 1st few tours he always did NYC & TLLDOB. NYC was an encore if I remember right. Super proto-punky as his band was amazing. Such great gigs. Until PG 4 he always came in through the audience: as workman, spectral mirrors and lights and wedding drum March, etc. so good. He wanted to grow/expand rael with his PG 2 Character.

To get a better understanding of how the band evolved, I would recommend checking out a documentary from 2014 called "Genesis: Sum of the Parts" (I believe it can be found on Amazon Video streaming to rent/buy). All 5 members appear in it, and it chronicles the band from their formation in 1969 by Peter Gabriel, bassist Mike Rutherford and keyboardist Tony Banks, to picking up guitarist Steve Hackett and Phil Collins in 1971, to when both Peter and Steve left and the shift to pop styling going into the 80s, all the way to the last tour they did in 2007 (obviously before Phil's health issues ramped up) I will say this; contrary to the popular argument, Phil never muscled the group into becoming pop. Hell, he never had any designs on becoming the lead singer; he was happy to stay as the drummer (even suggested, after Peter's departure, they continue on as an instrumental group, but was quickly shouted down by the other three). They just could not find a separate replacement singer that was up to their standards; plus they realized that Phil, who had been the one to teach the audition numbers to the prospective singers, had a decent enough voice to be the new front man.

Finally found the time to watch the whole concert, so what's left to say ? So much creativity ... in music ... in the show. I had written in another comment before, that I, hearing Genesis for the first time at the age of 13 I was "confused" by Peter's voice, so different than anybody else. I wasn't a Genesis fan in the 70s, that came much later. When I saw Steve Hackett with his moustache, I had to think of old pictures of Neil Peart, do you remember ? And another funny idea popped up: what did the parents of young Genesis fans think of this band, having a singer, who puts up make up for the show ? I have to say, when I see nowadays metal bands which put red colour (instead of blood) on their faces, it automatically turns me off ... did the parents back then think the same ? who knows ...

Patrick Nicolucci

Just a technical note The double neck Mike is playing was custom built by his luthier cutting up 2 Rickenbackers 4001 bass and a 360 guitar after this Ric would build double neck from the factory on special order.

pat kenney

You must watch the live In The Cage / After Glow Medley video to get a look at them in concert without Peter. It's AMAZING!!!

jack

Just going to say this again ... please react to the whole of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. I would break it up in the sides as it is laid out on the LP. All one review, but pausing at the "record flips" to discuss. I know you've done Carpet Crawlers, but there is some other monumental moments on that record. Sadly, there are no pro-shot videos of this tour. I'd recommend staying away from lyric videos or anything like that so that you can focus on the music. There is a cool video on YouTube where someone made an animation that follows along with the music and helps clarify the story behind the music, but I would reommend that for a second listen. For the first listen, headphones and closed eyes is probably the best... Keep up the great work. Love your channel.

Carlos Regidor Iglesias

Yes, please, react to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The whole album is a materpiece.
