  • Damn, Pete's hair has changed throughout the years.

  • 40 years ago, this came out....people born then are starting to bald now o_O

  • Tremendous band. First watched this about 25 years ago. It was called "rock of the seventies" Think this was filmed in Belgium.

    Wish I had a time machine what a ball I would have.

  • This performance sounds so more vivid than the studio version.

  • 1:46 is my favorite part. HAHAHAHAHA!

  • Wow, cool to see this. What young kids they were. Great quality video too. Thanks.

  • Truly marvelous.

    

  • Can't believe this! I have never heard this one! Nice :-)

  • Ahhhhh,.......... What great times were had by many ,many young adults in circa

    1972. Peter Gabriel was sooooo Hot!! Too bad I was only 7. (:-((

  • Remember when Phil was just the drummer and not the BOSS?

  • This line up needs to reunite one last time

  • How is it I haven't discovered this gem until now?

  • PG .. so young.. what a ride his life must have been..

  • Estaban hechos unos borregos ^^

  • I remember my brother buying "I know what I like..." and finding the B side fantastic! Brings back those memories.

  • This why this music survived punk

  • @goldenthug9 no doubt at all on this :-)

  • This is why punk happened, I suppose?

  • @AMLASH2 , well that is a weird one, Magazine's second hand daylight is half prog(one tune sounds like it could have been on floyd's meddle), lydon loved hawkwind, but yeah, but no. probably emerson lake&palmer and the power cuts caused punk in the uk

  • what the.... and i thought i knew every single piece of the pre 75 Genesis...

  • I'm with slaphead on this - how have I never heard this before?

  • is just me or peter gabriel was pretty afeminate?

  • @Akron162 : It's just you. Furthermore, the word is "effeminate" not "afeminate." Go back to school.

  • @Gruntol5 my english is terrible, sorry for that, but anyway, if you are a guy, but look a lot like a girl, you are "affeminate", ther is no way to be wrong there.

  • @Akron162 yeah I kind of agree, but so was Mike Rutherford with his bass on these videos. Not to count out Rick wakeman and Jon Anderson of "Yes" at the time. But it's a kind of boyish way of being girlish. I might try it out sometime :P

  • Awesome rendition of a masterpiece. But one problem with the video, With the lack of different camera angles, they don't many good shots of Tony behind his organ, do they?

  • GREEEAAAAAATT!! THANK YOU!!!!!

  • oh yeah i heard this was based on the Twilight movies

  • @trekkian88 Makes PERFECT sense. Yeah?

    A song created forty-some years BEFORE that piece of rubbish series was most definitely inspired by them. They must have a time-machine stashed somewhere....

    Maybe that was the TRUE purpose of Peter's Magog costume?

    Seems logical to me.

  • Too bad this song is rare...

    It's impossible to find guitar tabs for it, and I want some right now!

  • Phil, behind that baird... funny!

  • Thank for posting this--does anyone know if this is available on cd anywhere?

  • @TrickOfTheTail77

    yes, you can find it in the Foxtrot's DVD which contains the whole album remastered too.....but you can see this session complete and remastered here /watch?v=nQNho_sbtac

  • Thumbs up if you had this on some weird 45 flexidisc, possibly from the cover of Sounds magazine

  • Some of almost sounds like Jethro Tull, not just the flute but some of the guitar - not guitar I've heard on other Genesis albums.

  • @ucsb1996 Yeah, it does sound like something from Tull's "This Was" or "Stand Up"...that jazzy guitar playing is very Martin Barre-esque.

  • @12toedfeet I see what you mean, but I don't get that feeling much from the studio version. BTW those early Tull albums I think are far better than anything they were known for.

  • @psychill22 I haven't heard the studio recording of this. I'd agree, I think Tull's "Stand Up" through "Thick As A Brick" are brilliant...some of the best rock albums ever! It's amazing that they still aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

  • muy bueno

  • Artists at their very best

  • Awesome!! the way they change completely the rythm, how they use the instruments, the drums of collins, all it just fit in exactly. That is why they were the most brilliant prog rock band!!

  • Genesis, Yes e Pink Floyd são as maiores Bandas de Rock Progressivo. Outra bem bakana e Emerson Lake palmer.... Rock Progressivo = Rock de Boa qualidade.

    na Opinião: Yes e Genesis eram mais Classicos que o Pink-Floyd. A primeira por ter a maioria de seus componetes musicos de Formaçao Academica classica( Yes)

  • @jokabbhz justamente por isso, músicos acadêmicos, o Gentle Giant tb.

  • WOW! I'd thought there must be unreleased Genesis song s from the 70 - 75 era, and have found that there are - thanks god! It seems they're only available on the expensive remasters box set?? gabriel genesis video archive is just golddust. This band were more than amazing, gotta say the Trespass is a beautiful album. Cheers for the upload :)

  • @matt004474 This tune was released as a b-side in 1973

  • 6 people are gay

  • is the Gabriel base drum necissary? no...fart.

  • @tacomonster98 you've never heard of double bass drumming before? this was a predecessor to that. You should do research on the history of progressive rock. Today's music wouldn't be what it is without it. And maybe leave the beans out of your tacos.

  • Geez...I had always heard of this song, but never actually looked it up...and boy, have I missed out. The laugh at 1:44, the amazing ending from Steve (5:43-5:50)...and this isn't on an album? That goes to show you..if a song like this doesn't even make it on an album, imagine what other amazing songs were lingering out there but didn't make it..it goes to show you what amazing minds these guys had...and to think, they were only 21 or 22 at the time...mindblowing.

  • Belgium ! the first country where Genesis was huge ! First time they played out of the UK was in Belgium. I was there !

  • @Yeahnoa and they were more beloved here in Italy than in england in the beginning, weren't they?

  • @thehillcefis I don't know about Italy. I know that the first time they played on the continent was in Belgium where they instantly were idolized.

  • This must be a learning experience for Genesis.. I did not know that this crap existed 'til now.... Yeah NOW! NOIW1 NOW! NOW! Touch Me Now!! Now!

  • is that johnny depp

  • i dont know why but the verses (before the bluesy guitar riffs) sound like a proto-tool (just peter though with his vocal delivery).

  • I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine !

  • Peter Gabriel was only 22 years old in this video

  • @Luis2899 omg what have I done with my life!

  • COME TAKE A LOOK A TOUR BAND : JUST TYPE ‘’OVERHEAD-MUZ’’ ON MYSPACE. THANKS !!! WE ALSO HAVE A FACEBOOK PAGE!!!

  • What a attractive wo..... :C

  • I love these live videos of Genesis. The music is amazing and no one will ever be so great and unique like this again and as an added bonus, they are all so sexy- especially Peter with his side-bury things! :P

  • @trekkian88 yo man no need to be racist, im mexican and i love peter era genesis to death

  • @trekkian88 If anyone seems to need a good skullfucking round here it's you, having a dick slid up between your lobes might help your grammar a bit.

  • amazing 

  • Maybe Nursery Crime.. Not so sure about Trespass... les

  • "children follow me... with their laughter... so cold. hahahaha" I love Gabriel's plot description.

  • @ThoughtThinkerTomas Keen observation, That "hahahaha" always grabs my attention. Honestly I don't catch it, the meaning. Would appreciate your interpretation . Thanks if you ever read this.

  • @martock36 Here is my reaction to them: about a young-ish man who gets drunk, and is left alone. The warm laughter of the 'Alehouse', the cold laughter of the children, see the contrast. The children probably are not real in the plot, just as he imangines the woman (or not), and does the wavy gesture with the hands. Their laughter to me represents the way childhood is saying to him: "Look at that poor miserable drunk felar', he no longer is a child, but an adult faced with the reality of life".

  • @ThoughtThinkerTomas Thank you my friend. I was just looking for some element of enlightenment. I asked. You provided. Salutes to you. If you are ever in Toronto, Canada: Give me a shout out. I owe you at least One great Canadian Ale. We have plenty to choose from. It would be my pleasure . Thanks once again. Cheers.

  • Sooo awesome seeing these early Genesis videos.Thanks for posting. Remember looking for this on vinyl in my youth without much success!

  • My fav genesis number, deserves much much more credit than it ever got. should have at least been the star of an album

  • Speechless, discovering unknown Genesis songs is like discovering unknown books from the Bible - but even better :)

  • @slaphead99uk

    surely better!!!!

  • @slaphead99uk I am having a religious experience looking at Peter Gabriel!!!!

  • @slaphead99uk respect for Peter, what a joy to mankind

  • @slaphead99uk yeah because the Bible is for dicksuckers

  • @trekkian88 Oh brother! Lighten up. Why be a hater?

  • How it all comes flooding back...not seen this footage before but it is Genesis as I remember them.

  • Great old Genesis clip !

    When Genesis were still Genesis .....

    oh hush ... I still loved them when Peter Gabriel left and Phil Collins became the singer (which he felt very uncomfortable about at first, because he just wanted to be a drummer)

    (By the way ... Peter looked damn attractive in those days ...)

  • Drinking ales at Twilight Alehouse, cause drinking ale was casual business at the time ! What a time ! Today i'm 44, that's why !

  • The pros and cons of been a kid in 1972 ! At the time Bowie was doing the same thing but lost his long hair, and became Ziggy Stardust !

  • Comment removed

  • I don't understand what happened to Gabriel. Every video I've seen of him singing with Genesis the guy is having the time of his life. He's smiling, jumping around, just being silly.

    And now he doesn't want to have anything to do with any of that. Does't he miss singing Genesis songs? Getting into character? How can he just forget about all that?

  • @PhilistineTheArtLuvr It is strange. I'd understand if he wanted to concentrate on performing new material and didn't want to spend time revisiting his past; but then, he's been performing "Solsbury Hill" for thirty three years.

  • @PhilistineTheArtLuvr Yes l get you, no honestly, and l'd thought similar things. I guess he grew wider, more like a bloke (if a slightly gay one) and of course older. Now he seems to surround himself with moustaches and sweat when on stage. "just being silly": definately that, talent allows for it somehow. thx

  • @PhilistineTheArtLuvr

    Eu me pergunto a mesma coisa.

    I wonder the same.

  • of course this track was on a floppy disc in a special pack you could buy on the selling england tour alongwithposters and a mobile ceilinghangimg thing

  • You could make a great album out of Genesis B-sides alone! Twilight Alehouse, It's Yourself (Beloved Summer), Paperlate, Vancouver, Feeding the Fire, On the Shoreline...all fantastic, and they didn't even make it onto the main albums!

  • From what I can base it from listening to this song and from the studio version, this song is about a guy that finds peace by just drinking .

  • @phoneix91 The song is about someone suffering from severe depression and does not turn to outside help, and anyone cursed with this horrible disease that does not seek professional help will eventually develop a tendency to self-medicate, and that is exactly what the person in this song eventually does. I do not know who wrote the lyrics, but Peter Gabriel is bi-polar although it is not well documented. The music is "recycled" from their first album.

  • Genesis Six Hours Live 1972-1980 2DVD set, Genesis, The Lamb Live at the Shrine 3-disc, 2CD/DVD set, Genesis Live in Montreal 1974 2CD set, Genesis Live in Zurich 1977 2CD set available at TommygunVideo. Links and details can be found on our Youtube channel

  • I think this song kind of appear in the song the serpent in from genesis to revelation

  • 6 Justin Gayber and Jonass Sisters fangirls

  • Magnificent!

  • Merci! J'ai cette chanson sur un vieux vinyle abîmé... c'est la première fois que je peux l'écouter intégralement.

  • What happened to Gabriel's voice? It got a lot deeper and raspy only a few years later. Reminds me of Al Pacino. His voice did the same thing soon after the first 2 Godfather movies.

  • His voice remained the same, a little older man  a small change. But, one can recognize his voice because he was old when he was born. Do you get it?

  • @ElZorroFox1 Yes.

  • great Peter!!!

  • Also, on the studio version Gabriel sings "Just a drink and you can blast tomorrow" during the chorus but here it definitely sounds like he is saying "Just a drink and you can fuck tomorrow." Very interesting seeing as you almost never hear them swear in any of their music even to this day. No such thing as a squeaky clean public school boy after all lol.

  • @TheCorrectAnswer56

    I could swear that is an "F-Bomb" there. Phil would also occasionally drop an F-bomb on stage as well, especially during the song 'Invisible Touch', where he substitutes it from the word 'mess' in the line 'And though she will mess up your life...'

    And there was also the S-Bomb in "Back in NYC".

  • Does anyone else find it funny how Gabriel imitates the laugh of a child during the second verse? It almost sounds like mocking lol....but I thought it was funny.

  • @TheCorrectAnswer56

    i would say it was more disturbing than funny.... im sure that was the intention and thats the effect it had on me the first time i heard this piece.

  • you can tell Collins LOVED Steve's crazy guitar effect at the end.:-P

  • I remember this from Redcar Jazz club(RIP) very early 70's What a 4kin inovative band they were !!

  • i love u Peter Gabriel!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • the genius of genesis, an amazing upload, thanks

  • they are GODS

    tnx from vids sooooo much <3

  • "casting just a glance - at my painted female friend" - marvellous imagery in those few words. How did they get to be so clever at such a young age?

  • @Gruntol5 Public school education ? Gabriel is a deep thinker and master word smith.

  • I would say this is the coolest I've ever seen Peter look. Awesome song too.

  • This was an almost mythic track for years as it didn’t appear on any album and there were so few copies of “I know what I like” floating around. Had it on the flexi-disc (from NME?) - long lost. Was supposed to be a work in progress – they thought, at one time, it would be their finest song. Didn’t turn out that way (in my opinion) but it’s still so evocative of things to come.

  • Oh my god, that laugh at 1.46 is really disconcerting! This track never made it onto their albums because it’s got too much blues in it and it sounds too disjointed and wooden especially towards the end. The blues and Genesis (ancient and modern) never mixed well.

  • tv Belgium, tv Belga, tv Belgica, tv Belgique, tv Belgien, tv België, tv Belgae ......

  • Aswell as the B side they recorded this on a flexi-disc freebee for a music mag. I always remember playing it incessantly on the juke box in my local in the 70s. Magic stuff!

  • I think this song didn't make it on an album because they were never completely happy with the recording of it. They were perfectionists so once they spent too much time on it they thought it was best to just put it out as a b-side and move on.

  • @jwild611 It sounds such a throwback to Genesis to Revelation. They played around with a few tracks on that LP, lyrics and all. I think you are right. It was all down to time. This was supposed to be their masterpiece and they ended up not knowing what to do with it. I think it would work well as a live version with Peter improvising. Sadly, we'll never know how good it could have been.

  • I may be wrong, but I think this was on the B side of the 'I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)' single in the U K. Sheer class, even at this comparatively early stage of their career, and what magic was to follow!

  • 1:46, his laugh. :]

  • its GENESIS ! its PETER ! still great....as times goes by..:-S

    today......the holy shit of rap and hip-hop ! OH BOY!!

    greetings from an ols progger (45) :-) of berlin

  • @whiskeynale69. This song was a B-side on a song I forget, though, it on the genesis '70-75 box set along with this clip(from Belgium tv). I don't have the boxset, though, I was at my friends's place and he had there, and we just watched the tv/concert footage.

  • Genesis WithOut Ham face Singing is Heven

  • thrash till 'death

  • This so is fucking awesome; it has an errie feeling with the precussion on the background.

  • This is the Phil Collins drumming i admire most!!!

  • This on the genesis 1970-75 box set, which is fucking awesome.

  • true that!!!!!!!!!!

  • excelente!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Jin89 if you want to see Twilight Eclipse go to TwilightEclipseShow[dot]tk and see it there is leaked version almost everyone knows about it

  • Strange, because the first part sounds to me a bit like "From Genesis...", and then it goes more prog. Very nice song!

  • @TheUnknownProject66 This song is without doubt a variation of "The Serpent" from their first album From Genesis.... ; )

  • This is the definitive version of this song! I bought this on VHS about 20 years ago and still have it. An amazing performance!

  • Finally they're inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. FUSE Channel on March 15th 2010 LIVE from the Waldorf Astoria in NYC- DON'T MISS IT -- GENESIS LIVES FOREVER !!

  • really?

    awesome!

    they deserved it years ago.

    any word on who all is showing up?

  • can never tell with Peter G. but Phil has a bad back and may not be able to play. If Gabriel doesn't show up for such an honor, I may have to put him on my "worst person's in the world" list. NO EXCUSE in the world for Gabriel not to attend. I would LOVE to see them play, but that is unlikely. JUST BE THERE PETER!!! I get FUSE Channel through Comcast, Thank God. Already set my DVR to see this occasion. I would imagine they'll all be there. Even Hackett and Stuermer and Chester Thompson.

  • I hope they all show up.

    I dont get Fuse on my cable at home but I'm sure I'll be able to see the video somewhere sometime.

    My dream would be for every person who has ever played in genesis to get together and play 'selling england by the pound' in its entirety.

  • @BigBadBobby1234 Gabriel already announced he will not make it. hes my favorite artist, but i have to admit... it is bullcrap. he had no trouble using his old bandmates to bail him out with his broke WOMAD project. but now for this honor he cant even fly in for one night!

  • What is Peter's problem anyway? Why has he been so against doing anything with Genesis again all these years?

  • foxtrot, nursery crime, selling england..lamb lies...their very best in my opinion and live seconds out!

  • All of them--- So, so much creativity! Hackett playing seated a Les Paul, doing tapping!! (He was one of the first in doing that, then many other came, but no one playing seated) Collins without singing, Gabriel playing flute (very popular at the time, Jethro Tull did the same) intrncated, complex songs... I love them! THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS

  • @TheBarbaciano i saw them in 1973 in a small club, first time I saw the lead guitar player siting down for the whole show, I was mesmerized when they played "watcher of the skies"

  • When I think about it what creativity came from that little Island, wow!

  • these original videos of Genesis are just awesome / thx so much!!!

  • Comment removed

  • love phil's drum fill at 5:23

  • one of my top 10 drummers of all time...maybe top 5...i haven't thought about it enough to be sure.

  • I got a tape of this song in 1984, and I instantly love the song... SInce then I was wordering why it was not part of any official album of that time, probably in Foxtrot or even in Selling England...

    It's made of the most PURE Gabriel's Genesis!

  • great tune but would've sounded out of place on any of their studio albums they released. strong b-side though.

  • the hackett last efect in the end is freakin awesome. the guitar tone is great

  • I always wondered why this tune didn't make it on an album. It would have fit nice on trespass or nursery cryme.

  • I agree wholeheartedly!

    This is an awesome song that should have made it on one of their albums!

  • Technically, it was an interlude on "From Genesis To Revelation"...it's right before "The Serpent".

  • @whiskeynale69

    They had to choose between this and the knife. There is just not enough space on LP...

  • @beRsek8: The should have left "Vision of angels" instead.

  • @whiskeynale69 Even better, what if they took a minute or two off Epping Forest, After the Ordeal, and Cinema Show and put it on Selling England by the Pound? That would make the album even more immaculate than it already is.

  • @whiskeynale69 They were sick and tired of playing it live.... Great sing none the less.

  • @whiskeynale69

    Just that albums only held around 50 minutes back in the day. Think this track is better than a couple of tracks on the album. Who knows, might have been a marketing idea to drive the sale of the single

  • @whiskeynale69

    It's on the 1970-1975 remastering-a really awesome job of remastering classic Gabriel era tunes.

  • @whiskeynale69

    Albums only were able to hold about 50 minutes or so. This being a long track it would have been impossible to fit on the album.

    B sides were a good sales idea to get hardcore fans to buy both the album and singles.

  • I normally hate "Prog Rock" but Gabriel Era genesis is amazing.

  • DAMN!! This is CLASSIC!!! Good stuff!! Thanks for posting!!

  • Oh, man, They all look so young!  They all had a full head of hair! Ah, youth!

  • Ohhh, to be twenty something again!!!

  • so cold...

  • awesome metal riff at the end!

  • I remember my ex. wife saying in 1998 that "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" Steve Hackett guitar solo(off Genesis Archive Vol.1) sounded "Metal".

  • "I will now receive my comfort, conjured by the magic power of wine...

    brilliant.

    This has been a long time Genesis favourite of mine.

    A song about a man
