Damn this is the shit! Yes: some of it is clearly jazz-fusion, but with a lot of weight, depth and power. Many of the jaz fusion bands from the 80s don't stand the test of time IMHO, it sounds like an exercise in futility by now. This sounds awesome - any recording from any time period. Even Afterglow (basically a pretty ballad, loosley based upon "have yourself a merry little Christmas" - still sounds marvelous, because it has Phil singing in front of that Wall of Sound and killer drumming!).

[zebonaut]

This is good, but I recommend the Reichstag-Concert in Berlin even more: Phils Voice in Afterglow is stunning!

What is unnerviing is the cheesy synth-melody during the end of Afterglow, though. Thats what you come up with when you have no Mellotrons which pure chords would have delivered enough.. ;)

[mulleoops]

When they did this 3 years earlier it was recorded and can be found here on Youtube . A shame this was not

[mulleoops]

The first 4.28 is the best: Phil,s drumming!!!!!!

[TheOmanJam]

Great section - it was In the Cage - In That Quiet Earth - Afterglow, tracks 2 and 3 were the last two on Wind & Wuthering so it is quite like the original. It was original to join them in that way. (Of course, these 3 tracks were the ONLY three to be missed off on the fukking video of the tour! I also remember that I liked Home By The Sea on this tour, much better than 1983/4 and 1992, quite a bit faster in 1986/7 and not so tedious as it is when the instrumental is slow. Afterglow is ace!

[makkari1]

@TheOmanJam Ahh, those three tracks. Missing because the BBC "had to turn the tape over at some point".I have a full recording of the concert somewhere, but alas it is only a cassette tape version. I did manage to turn over in between the numbers though! Happy days.

@jtaramona

La veo muy complica amigo... muy complicada. Ver a Genesis en mi país (vivo en Argentina) es el anhelo de mi vida pero tenemos que dar con la idea que estos tipos se van a morir sin haber venido nunca hasta estos pagos.

Saludos!

i love this medley its so poor that they never did exactly this medley again

as i saw genesis 2007 in stuttgart i was one of the luckyst pepole in the world and of course they played an cage medley and i love the cage/cinea/duke/afterglow medley but i wish they played a little bit more of the old stuff. but i loved the two periods. the collins and the gabriel era

[brianbeilke]

Genesis were performing this version of the In the Cage medley for a few years in the 80's. If you can get our hands on it, there is a VHS release from 1984 called "Mama Live" that contains a full performance of this song. I sadly just packed mine up and shipped it to Salvation Army. You wouldn't want my copy anyway. I'm sure it's warn out as I probably watched it a few thousand times in high school. Good stuff.

[SPeacock]

@brianbeilke You can get it on DVD now on "The Movie Box" - a box set with ALL of Genesis's live videos.

[MrDreamtheaterdave]

I recorded this concert on radio one on Saturday July 4th 1987 on a TDK D90. Lost the tape and have been searching years for a recording of the concert and in particular the "in the Cage" medley, which this song is half the remainder of. One of my ALL time favourite songs, a joy to listen to.

[MrDreamtheaterdave]

If anybody has a recording of this I would be eternally grateful

[woolton1965]

it was on on sat night on radio 1 . still got my 2x sony c90s

[fredo1169]

@jtaramona Yes , TONY is the spirit of GENESIS . His solo albums are very good , STILL for exemple...

[lifrson]

I love collecting excellent quality syff, being a drummer of 35 years, love Genesis, RUSH, Yes, Styx ect. Can play it all just hard to find others that can play it too LOL. I'm from Atlanta, GA

[ErnieAndMaraboo]

It sounds really great, but come on....speed it up a little like in the earlier days =)

[sauermusicDE]

Such a FAT sound...makes me speechless.

[salmacis81]

I'd cut my veins to get time go back and can assist to, at least, one of this concerts despite they didn't play enough "old songs".

[MikeyRB77]

I said it before. This is GOLD!!!

[jimapollo]

Happy Birthday Phil....60 today. Wow.

[ddvdrummer91]

If you listen real hard on Afterglow Tonys keyboards sound like angels harmonizing especially near the end when phil stops singing and jumps back on the drums. I can imagine when i pass on being welcomed by everyone that ever meant anything to me in life and that being played and then me jumping on a radiant white drumset and playing the end part :)

[Bigade68]

nik0laoo7, you are an absolute hero. I have been looking for this for ages. I know you posted it a year ago and it was about 2 years ago i gave up looking. The night this was recorded in July 1987 i was there in the crowd with my sister. My sister who was more of a "Pop" Genesis lover at the time but i got her into the more serious stuff when i brought her to Wembley that night. She loved it. And this was a real highlight. I've tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Ade.

[nik0la007]

well I'm glad if I helped, best regards to you and your sister!!

[anthonytoner11]

@Bigade68 Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of music. I heard it for the first time on "Mama tour live" video which is now buried in my roof-space somewhere. This version is so much fresher, I'm blown away!

[JMRUSIRIUS]

Are Chester Thompson & Phil Collins both playing drums together on In That Quiet Earth?

[mrspilligan]

have seen them here there and everywhere, but that's a great sound - - thanks!

[skintrade]

and the synth drums as well

[skintrade]

Interesting to hear this with tony's 1986/87 keyboards

[EtemTatar]

@victormusictechnique No probs ;)

[EtemTatar]

Btw the reason they did not record it is because they had to change film and they couldn't put out a half complete medley

[SPeacock]

@EtemTatar They didn't want to take a break too early on, either. Here's the million-pound question: Why didn't they just break up the setlist into quarters - and film each quarter on each night? Would have made far more sense.

[EtemTatar]

@SPeacock Perhaps it would have looked out of place. Like for example, sombody was wearing different clothes or something so they couldn't change it. Just a thought.

[sauermusicDE]

@EtemTatar Thanks for the info.

[EtemTatar]

@victormusictechnique Dodo

[aihoschema]

@mfnickster agreed. Sound like a multisamle. Perhaps the Synclavier or the Emulator II. Anyway don't get me started on Tony's sounds after 1978. He first ditched the Mellotron M400 and then after 1980 the Hammond T-102 organ. In 2007 he sounded awful, much worse than almost all of the tribute band keyboarders. I hoped he would use a decent Hammond clone, great solo synth sounds and killer mellotron samples. None of the above..... Looks like he stopped caring looong ago.

[mulleops]

what idiots left this one out of the live Wembley dvd recording

[aihoschema]

@mulleops The same idiots that left the "Turn it on Again-Medley" in!

[SPeacock]

@mulleops The band, and their management.

[robertthedrummer]

f u c k i n g brilliant...best vocals ever done on Afterglow

[yanyanyan009]

great!

[bastidface]

This was a great tour.

[FUKIMAKAI]

tony banks ya no sonaba igual con genesis desde que cambió su organo hammond t102 al prophet 10 y peor cuando cambió el prophet despues del 84 a lo que oimos acá, mas o menos, el prophet zafaba al sonido de su predecesor, pero esto no parece un organo. afterglow especialmente cambia mucho sin el hammond, pero acá todavía lo tocaban con energía. en 2007, al bajarle un tono, parecía otra cosa. me gustaria saber como hubiera sonado cinema show en '87. en fin, ojala vuelva tony banks para el mundial

[padawan23]

Weird, I have no idea how my comments got in here 4 times. Sorry all

[padawan23]

Somebody noted that this made the laserdisc. It did not. At least not here in the States; and I'd be very surprised if it made the cut elsewhere, which I seriously doubt. The Cage Medley from the Invisible Touch Tour was never released officially in any form.

[pelusaesfeo]

in the cage cinema show was also left apart on the dvd

[bkbeban]

I love how Phil uses inflection changes to mix up songs at live shows. The "In the sun" part is awesome. To combo this, the TSL version and the Lyceum 80 version would make a kick ass mix.

[semajttam]

It made the Laserdisc, but the interesting thing is that they did "Suppers Ready" throughout the american leg of the tour...

[raelraven2]

Very nice, but I will never forget how bummed I was when I saw them in Washington, DC, knowing that they had ended this medley with the closing section of Supper's Ready during the early shows of this tour. I was so psyched to hear SR, and when they segued into Afterglow instead (which I like, but they had played on so many tours in a row it hardly seemed like an old song at that point), it was a bit of a belly-drop for an old school fan.

[hexadecimalcode]

ARGH! best Genesis medley there is.

[MikeyRB77]

THANKS so much for uploading this. This is like stumbling across a buried treasure!!!!

[nik0la007]

I felt the same way when I found it =) enjoy

[salmacis81]

I really thought Los Endos was the only "old song" the played in that concert. What a shame they omitted this section. Just a pitty!

[SPeacock]

I think I have an explanation for as to why this was cut - the cameraman had to put in a second blank tape to record (the first one had run out) so by the time he got the camera up and running again, the band were in the middle of "Afterglow", so he decided to start again at the next song.

[dodosquonk]

It's a crime that this was the only section omitted from the dvd. I was there for 3 of the 4 nights they played & this blew everyone away.

[nik0la007]

you lucky bastard :D I've never seen phil or genesis live, buu huuu

[dodosquonk]

In that case i won't tell you how many times i have seen phil /genesis live but i really appreciate your great uploads.

[nik0la007]

better don't tell me =) no problem, I'm glad you like them, thanks for commenting!

[aihoschema]

@dodosquonk Agreed! I read once in an old Genesis forum that there was no multitrack from this track and so they couldn't mix it for the DVD release. Smells like BS to me, simply because it's 70s Genesis (something considered outtaded back then). The Wembley DVD has way too much bad 80s Genesis (Turn it on Again-medley, who wants to hear that??? Genesis isn't about cool, it's about great!).

[salmacis81]

@dodosquonk

I was very uptset about that. Los Endos was the only great gem in that fucking DVD.

[SPeacock]

@salmacis81 And, to a lesser extent, Turn It On Again.

[nik0la007]

no problem, thank you for telling me the correct one ;)

[SPeacock]

My thanks to you for allowing me (and other die-hard Genesis fans) to complete the 1987 Wembley setlist by introducing this missing medley :)

[nik0la007]

I can't recognize the instrumentals, the title was like it is...
