The best album Genesis did with Phil on lead vocals (And Then There Were Three) but nothing could ever top their classic... The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway with Peter Gabriel in vox.
I read or heard Tony Banks mention the band tried not to tackle too many softer songs live ('Blood of the Rooftops', 'Many Too Many', 'Alone TOnight' and to my dismay, my favorite song of theirs 'Mad Man Moon') - I think he mentioned he regretted it, but I kinda can understand them never doing these...Some of the crowd would get a serious buzz-kill.
This song is so difficult vocally, (not sure check out the horrible covers of this song...YIKES!) Then try to sing this song WITHOUT any music. That's when the fun begins. You can go off key in a heart beat if you don't catch one of the notes right on key.
One of my 5 favorite Gensesis songs of all time.
Blood on the Rooftops, Many Too Many, Heathaze, Carpet Crawlers and Man on the Corner. (sadly, they only played C.C. during their return).....still had a blast!!!
Recorded July 26, 1978 at Merriweather Post Pavilion, Columbia Md. Thats me in the beginning at the Box Office. I lived a mile away from MPP. I met the boys the night before, and hung with Mike Rutherford the next day at the Columbia Mall. No lie. He and his wife and new daughter were shopping for shoes just hours prior to making this video. Ahh good times... I was 14.
That's so cool -- I was 9 at that time, and my older brother had played their music as I went to bed every night. I still have vivid memories of drifting off. Did you know their music that well at 14? I gather if I didn't have an older brother constantly playing it, I doubt I would be as huge a fan as I am now. Nevertheless, I am very envious of that one time of yours!
The song, especially the intro. sounds very much like the intro on one track on Rutherford's album Small Creep Day album which is played by Anthony Phillips.
I totally agree. Was it Pil or Tony that wrote the song. My Windows Media Player scrolls the info at the bottom of my player (I have Vista home premium) and it said Banks.
I love Tony's keyboards on this song. I do not remember it on the radio. The more I hear it the more I get out of it. The same with "Keep it Dark" Sorry for rambling on so.
Appreciate the time you have taken to respond to me. Take Care
Genesis's best studio album by a country mile. Outstanding, underrated, varied and every track a peach. Btw sad to say I have all their stuff on original vinyl going back to Trespass so I believe it's a balanced view. Check out the other vids from this album peeps, there are some gems.
Great song, wow, is it really 31 years old? Those were the days. Real music. Now we have gangsta scum like Jay-Z asswipe penciled in to headline Glastonbury. Open, heavens, and let your waters hit the electrics and turn him into 50,000 millicandelas of smoking spook, mic in hand.
Yeah I hear you, but you don't have to use racist remarks. Things are definitely different now than it was. I like HipHop and Jay Z is not that bad actually. A lot of his music is based on songwriting and instrumentation, not just sampled beats, believe or not. I've seen him perform with a bunch of funk/jazz musicians and orchestra and a choir all together. It was really cool!
Still, the best or most credible hiphop you won't find on Mtv or the radio, that's for sure. But it does exists. Still it's nothing like this, and like yourself I feel that the state of the music industry has lost it's soul overall.
Thank you, funk7000. I have to say that it is a pity that good black musicians like the great Jack DeJohnette and Dennis Chambers and Branford Marsalis are eclipsed by misogynists and gangsters like Jay Z and Fiddy. Well done Alicia Keys, I believe it was, who recently said that 50 Cents "music" is just incitement to hatred, and encourages black people to kill each other. Go to "Indigo Dreamscapes", a track by De Johnette on youtube, and you will find no such sentiment in his sublime music.
Festival boss Michael Eavis was close to getting Prince to headline the festival in 2004 and has seen both Kylie Minogue and Coldplay turn down the chance to top the bill at this summer's event, held from June 27-29. Rumors surfaced yesterday that Jay-Z was unhappy with organizers for blaming him for a decline in ticket sales.
Glastonbury was thought to be the rapper's only UK festival appearance this year but he is now playing the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park on July 3. Some ticket holders are upset because they wanted to attend Glastonbury specifically to see Jay-Z. An insider said: Obviously they [the organizers] still hoped it could be sorted out, which they still do. But there will be people who bought tickets for the festival because they wanted to see Jay-Z.
If the Glastonbury organizers let people do that while knowing there were doubts then that seems unfair.When he does announce he is not playing, those people should be entitled to full refunds.
Yes, I would rather have Prince or even Narada Michael Walden headline Glasto! Even Pat Metheny. The Eavis's are reputed to have said that those who don't want to attend Glasto because of Jay Z are 'fairweather friends' of Glastonbury. Patronising gobshites. How dare they. NME, and other mainstream music papers in the UK, notice a significant dip in sales when they put black artists on the magazine covers. Make of that what you will.
He really did have a powerful presence on this album. It was largely he and Tony Banks 'holding court' on ATTW3 as a review on another site states. Burning Rope, Many Too Many, Undertow, even FYFM showcases the different sounds they could create on the same album.
I think Mike Rutherford really stepped up on "And then there were three..." His guitar solos on that album may not posess technical pazazz but they were soaring and powerful.
There were groups that just showed depth, emotion and passion in their music. Genesis was one of those groups and it's prevalent in all their work, both with Peter Gabriel AND Phil Collins.
The best Genesis Songs for me 1. Supper's Ready 2. Carpet Crawlers 3. Vision of Angels 4. Entangled 5. Dancing with the Moonlit Knight 6. Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers - In That Quiet earth 7. The Knife 8. Your own special way 9. The fountain of Salamacis 10. Firth of Fith
my top 10 favorites 10-Home by the sea 9- The fountain of salmacis 8- Missunderstanding 7- Stagnation 6- Tell me why 5- Ripless 4- Dancin with the moonlight knight 3- Fifht of fifht 2- Carpet crawlers 1- I know what i like kisses from mendoza, argentina
My top 10 favorites (emphasis, these are my favorites,...you don't have to agree...hehe) 10. Mad Man Moon Honorable Mention: Afterglow, No Son of Mine 9. That's ALL 8. Misunderstanding 7. Man on the Corner 6. Musical Box 5. Many Too Many (again, thx for the post) 4. Trick of the Tail 3. Heathaze 2. Mama 1. Blood on the Rooftops. I looooooooooove my Genesis. Thx again for the post.
There is another video for this filmed at the soundcheck at the 1978 Knebworth festival. Surely someone could post that as well as the live footage of The Lady Lies. Great album, Down And Out, this one, Deep In The Motherload, Ballad Of Big, The Lady Lies, just genius! Not commercial at all they were still very progressive.
I agree. Many older Genesis fans, as well as some new fans of their older stuff, were turned off by this song the respective album. I love it though and consider it a cousin or younger brother to A Trick of the Tail and Wind the Wuthering
superb ballad. in that disc there was 2 slow song like this and Follow you Follow me, and a more sinphonic song like Burning Rope.nice disc, but the progressive was already dead.
So, are ya sayin ya don't like this song or the album? I do. The songs aren't long, but i believe it is still progressive. Kinda dark, musically. I do like the Gabriel stuff, as much as Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. As a matter of fact, the artwork for this album, Trick, Wind,and Lamb were done by Hipgnosis. ATWT and Lamb were done by Storm Thurgenson, who worked for them.
That my fav track on album too. AS well as Ballad of Big, Many Too Many, Scenes From A Night's Dream, the Lady Lies, and Burning Rope. 1 of my fav albums. I think this albums plants the roots of neo and stadium prog.
I'd forgotten just how good this track is. Certainly the best on 'And Then There Were Three...' Phil C at the peak of his powers here. Gabriel not missed, Steve Hackett more so...
Yep. That's the one, and there ya have it...Sadly i have cable but not digital cable (digital has Classic; non-digital does not here). Oh Man, now I'm really depressed. JR, i cant tell you how happy I am for you.
Well ok..but there was a different video, and it was an entire 2 hour history on the band. Had interviews with PG (he had super long hair at the time) and Hackett, Anthony Phillips as well. Documented from the very beginning at Charterhouse. The video was called I think "Genesis - A History". You'd think that it was somewhere in existence..
Vh1 clasic actually just played "Genesis - A History" twice in the last couple of days after repaets of their peformance at vh1 rock honors. I had no idea it existed until it came on, but it is by far the best rock doc I have seen in a long time, I recorded it on my computer :)
This is a Great song! Yes, there is another video of this btw. A clip was shown in the Genesis History VHS video that came out about 16 years ago..which by the way i lost, and am kicking myself for it. I cannot find that video anywhere..does anyone know what i'm talking about? It was sooo cool.
Yes, it was a part of the "We Can't Dance" tour VHS tape. It was a long bit of history about the band before the actual concert video was shown. I lost mine too. Wish they we re-release it!
First heard this song on vinyl back in 1979 at a friend's house at Baywater/Queensway area in London. I love this song and the whole album. It marked my early away-from-home era. Damned, i wish I had written this song, at least its lyric. :)
Good song Great group, has any1 ever noticed the similatries between James Herbert`s novel `The magic cottage` to `The Lady Lies` its very intresting, makes u wonder was James Herbert a fan of Genesis or where they a fan of him?? If u havn`t then read the book, you`ll know wot i mean!!
Was the first Genesis album i heard and whilst it might not be their best it certainly has its moments. I love Down and Out, Deep in the Motherlode and of course Follow You, Follow Me plus this is a nice song too.
The best album Genesis did with Phil on lead vocals (And Then There Were Three) but nothing could ever top their classic... The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway with Peter Gabriel in vox.

First heard this song on vinyl back in 1979 at a friend's house at Baywater/Queensway area in London. I love this song and the whole album. It marked my early away-from-home era. Damned, i wish I had written this song, at least its lyric. :)

Good song Great group, has any1 ever noticed the similatries between James Herbert`s novel `The magic cottage` to `The Lady Lies` its very intresting, makes u wonder was James Herbert a fan of Genesis or where they a fan of him?? If u havn`t then read the book, you`ll know wot i mean!!

Was the first Genesis album i heard and whilst it might not be their best it certainly has its moments. I love Down and Out, Deep in the Motherlode and of course Follow You, Follow Me plus this is a nice song too.
Isn't there another video for this?

There's a video for "Follow You, Follow Me" which sorta is like this. Just video of them on stage singing it (though not live.)

True. it's underrated. With Steve Hackett nowhere to be found here, people resented it back in the day. I lived it. Never really recovered from it.
