RARE!! Genesis Live in Japan 1978 The Cinema Show Part Two

[Gentilseulement]

Never been a big fan of Darryl, but he's done some very good work live with Genesis.

[OpheliaRising]

They were a great rock band, but I fail to understand why people upload videos that have lousy, amateurish video and equally bad sound.

[jhowerton123]

Who is that drummer with them?????

[PeterMayer]

@jhowerton123 Chester Thompson. Since 77.

3:56 drum roll into music to die for :)

[raelraven2]

They fiddled with playing this in its entirety in 2007 (not just the instrumental section at the end, which was still awesome!). Unfortunately Phil couldn't hit the high notes anymore so they had to drop it. Bummer!

Muy bueno, genial, es increible ver estos videos, despues de muchos años.

[MisterQuebec]

Can you believe it was 31 years ago???

[Satori1800]

MISTERQUEBEC: Hi:) Sadly I can. The older I get the faster time seems to fly.. he he

[PeterMayer]

I prefer analog Tony so much more than the 80s digital stuff.

[Satori1800]

PETERMAYER: Hi:) Me too. I'm old school.

[Bearses]

@PeterMayer you mean the Pro Soloist and melotron boards? 

[PeterMayer]

@Bearses Yes. And the Hammond T.

[Bearses]

@PeterMayer if I may inquire, what is the big distinction between the two - the legacy boards originate the sound, tone, etc, while the digital ones are only replicating, mimicking?

[PeterMayer]

@Bearses Not necessarily, but the mellotron had such an airy sound compared to him using the Korg Vocoder chorus in 1980, 1982. And the ARPs just had a warmer sound then the harder, metallic sound of an Emulator. To me anyway...

[Bearses]

@PeterMayer muy interesante, thank you...

[mfnickster]

@PeterMayer The Emulator II is only 8 bits of resolution, but it's probably much more reliable on the road than a Mellotron. :)

[PeterMayer]

@mfnickster yeah, but I don't know. I just thought Tony was more inventive in the 70s.

[mfnickster]

@PeterMayer The Synclavier sounded fantastic IMHO.

[Kohntarkosz]

Yeah, Tony was one of the few people who not only use the synth capabilities of the Synclavier, but also one of the few who got good sounds from a digital synth.

[carjahara]

Fantastic!!!!! Great Video!!!! TKS for posting.

[valliseasons1]

amazing!! thanks for posting!!

p.s. after the click in the sound about midway the audio and video arnt in sync anymore, most likely a reel problem when transfered!

[Crustybrown]

Great video!, was this performance proshot?
