@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
@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

@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.
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)
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 :)
@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.
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 and his sexy voice…

The latter has other albums besides Dark Side and the Wall that are prog rock. Stop thinking with your dick, nigger!!!!!
@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".

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 ...)
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
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!
@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.

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.
Awesome music, one of my fav from the early Genesis' music. Why it didn't make it on Nursery Cryme or somewhere else? It's a great stuff. And, with or without make-up and a mask, Peter is a brilliant actor on the stage.
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.
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...'
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.
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.
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!
@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.
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 !!
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.
@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!
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"
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...
@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.
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
Kate Pierson asswipe! She could blow the fat bitch off the stage in one line. And yes, as a matter of fact, I CAN sing, and I'm in a working band, where I sing, and play guitar, and keyboards, and bass, and drums, and I'm also an engineer and producer. Boston sucks so bad that Tom Scholz had to go open his own electronics business so he could make some real money. What do YOU do besides being a shitstain?
Damn, Pete's hair has changed throughout the years.

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?

Awesome music, one of my fav from the early Genesis' music. Why it didn't make it on Nursery Cryme or somewhere else? It's a great stuff. And, with or without make-up and a mask, Peter is a brilliant actor on the stage.

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.

It's surreal to see a low-calorie Peter Gabriel in his prime; back when he was at the zenith of his creativity and artistic expression.
These days will never come again.

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.
JeremyS1959 1 year ago
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.

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!
stevefrommalton 1 year ago
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 1 year ago
@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.
JeremyS1959 1 year ago
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!

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!

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

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.
