Genesis - 04 - Calling All Stations (Katowice, Poland 1998)

[MrAnidealhusband]

"uncertain weather". I got 2nd prize in my Round Table talent competiion doing this, segued in with the intro to "Carpet Crawlers". 1st prize went to a Rolf Harris tribute: to be fair, the facial hair was spot on. He had a canvas, paint and brushes, so fair play. All I had to learn was to do Ray doing Peter whose heart was being ripped out. "All gorrrn". Priceless. Yes, they should have carried on. Ray's songs were fresh

[HMan431]

You guys are so right that this really rocks! I have all of their albums. It's funny though this is one of the most common returns in second hand CD stores. Their loss right?

[splicer45]

Great song,but the lack of Daryl or Chester is really apparent here,compare this to the powerhouse performances of the We can't dance tour.

[AleksandraBlanka]

I really wish I was there.

I was only 12, sitting in front of TV, simultaneously listening Program III (a concert from Spodek was broadcasted in Piotr Kaczkowski's programme), crying and singing Calling All Stations... and bombarding my mum with questions "why we are not there?!"

[jtlampsu]

Brilliant all round !!

[SVBEEQV]

This track gives me goosebumps; it's one of Genesis' masterworks. Definitely.

[mostlypinknet]

I'm a Genesis fan from the old days till this album... then i thought it wasn't their best... i changed my mind a bit ;-)

Yes it is a shame they co-operate more with Ray, he has a beautiful voice and is life a joy to see.

[donkabsolute]

Absolutely love this song, even though the album came out as I was going through the worst period of my life, (divorce,fathers death, daughters death,etc).This brilliant song said it all.Respect and eternal thanks.

[mlekosojowe]

Ray is such a cutie ^.^

sorry, I'm just a girl and I can't help myself.

I dream about his hypnotizing voice every nite ;P

[SlitMouthWoman]

@mlekosojowe Ray is awesome,I wish I could sing like him,and being a guy it's hard to touch his great voice.

[TGuppy5]

Love the guitar in this

[hubiex]

Mike laying down some nice guitar here, quite tasteful....

[mprieto504]

[qiarra]

@mprieto504 Good evening Katowice. Good evening Poland. It's good to be here. Thank you for coming_ Let's have fun! Next song is...

[mprieto504]

@qiarra thank you very much!

[qiarra]

@mprieto504 ha ha...ok:)

Dzien dobry Katowice! Dzien dobry Polsko! Dobrze byc tutaj. Dziekuje ze jestescie. Bawmy sie dobrze. Nastepny utwor to..."Calling...." good luck with your polish! :)

[mprieto504]

@qiarra Thanks again!

It was very funny trying to say it in polish, at the same time that Ray speak.

[qiarra]

[tcrhade]

[kasztan133]

swietny kawalek, swietnie wykonany, genialne slowa

[NeighbourElaK]

piękny song na zawsze :)

[tsushima91]

I am a Gabriel fan of the highest order, yet I rank this song among Genesis' best :)

[kaspervzzzbx]

This is the best Genesis song ever! This one and Carpet crawlers (The 1999 version).

[donutcookiepie]

yeah....I really love this whole album...best one since The Lamb, I think!

[otteaux]

Really dig this tune... very ethereal and emotional - one of my favs off this album.

[beng1lh00ly]

Possibly some of Mike's best guitar work here, thanks for the post - good song :)

[athanasius58]

I really do wish Ray Wilson could've stayed with them longer---I thought he brought a darker, heavier "prog-rock" feel to them, more akin to the Gabriel-era. I've the impression that the Wilson-genesis was much better accepted on the other side of the Atlantic.....

[TornadoOf07]

Never did like this song that much. Lyrics not that good. Musically fair but not the best. I think the best song from CAS was Dividing Line.

[BIXSIX]

Maybe not the gr8est song of all time- but Ray's contribution to Genesis should be remembered and not forgotten- theres some gr8 stuff in here if u no where to look!

[helpdeskclosed]

crapola

[awesomedude1133]

If you don't like it, don't watch it.

[secondtribe]

He said something like:

"good morning Katowice, good morning Poland , it's good to be here, thank you for coming, have nice time, the next song is Calling All Stations" :)

[awesomedude1133]

Thanks for th translation and thanks for the videos. I love Ray-era Genesis.

[awesomedude1133]

Anyone know what he is saying in Polish?
