I'm 18 again!!!!! Thank you man! Love this song. The "original" Genesis was the best. They were the first band to introduce light shows during their concerts.
@ColCasperUK@ColCasperUK obviously, you're not a musician, otherwise you wouldn't be so quick to dismiss some perfect compositions, so I'll forgive you for being a snit to boot.
Right from the awesome intro ,...ya just know EVERYTHING about this song is great !! Whole album is spectacular ! - and Hackett makes this album awesome -
@railmanROM Right after the Duke tour I think. That was the last good album front to back and the tour was the best of the ones after that minus maybe the Three Sides Encore tour which had Suppers Ready
@ColCasperUK "That was the last good album front to back". I disagree: Abacab still holds water all the way through, if you don't categorize it. It rocks far more than their previous albums, but so what? The melodies, harmonies, and rhythms are still way beyond what top 40 bands do.
@davidfsnyder If you think Who Dunnit it and Me and Sarah Jane rocks then...well words cant describe how pathetic that is , Im sorry but I would rather listen to Invisible Touch than Abacab any day and that says A LOT

@londosdan1964 I have in the court. I am still trying to figure out how to play the solos in 21st CSM. I think in the 70 and 80s .. people wanted good music and they got it. Now people don;t want it and what we have is .....
There are still wonderfull talented people out there. It's just the masses don't want to hear them. They want their rap and their Britneys and Justins.
@ETericET It's not that the masses don't want to hear good music. Quite the contrary. It's because the music industry has become too big business to have anything to do with music anymore. They'll only sell crap on the airwaves, so that people only have crap to choose from. Everybody and their dog seems to bitch and complain about how much better music was in the olden days...
@zackjp explane the term PROG. i only hope that you are not linking genesis with the vile left wing liberal bowl movement that i think you are a member of.
I would love to dance with you Phil, based on this vocal performance. I don't care that he became a super annoying solo artist, at least on this here album he sings wonderfully.
the people with experience listening to genesis says that DUKE was the last PROGRESSIVE ALBUM for genesis as in abacab the 90% of the songs are all pop songs...and at least 2 songs in those albums from abacab to we can't dance are progressive rock with the exception of invisible touch that has TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT, THE BRAZILIAN and DOMINO, which the only progressive songs in that era are home by the sea and tonight tonight tonight
@rodrigoNIN90 the last 2 songs are the last personal progressive songs of genesis that i liked from that albums, but also i hate to say that i like man on the corner, no son of mine and land of confusion
Really like this song... Has anyone heard the Jordan Rudess cover? Thats where I first heard this track, it led me here, and im still just as happy with the track!
Nobody liked early Genesis more than me. After Pete left there was indeed a departure, than a rupture, but they still put out good material , whatever the style. Actually the later work was good pop not the lame kind. If more pop sounded like that, I'd not be ashamed to listen more to it. Anyway, I think it was better that way than having them put out lame prog (can you name a good song ELP - another favorite of mine - wrote in the '80s? Maybe 1 or 2 not more).
@DriftPirateD You're clearly bullshitting us, you made a mistake. Just own up to it. You can't pull the troll card for something insignificant as this.
@MasterYumyums You should see the guys over on th Zappa video. More responses than here by FAR. This is my hobby. I was helped in this one by a buddy of mine since I don't really listen to Genesis. The points go to him.
@DriftPirateD That I definitely believe, him being Zappa and all. My point is that there's no need to get huffy over people's musical opinions over the internet.
@MasterYumyums I'm definitely not huffy. I appreciate Genesis. I most certainly don't listen to them on a regular basis, but I understand their music and appreciate it. I'm one of those guys that goes around posting negativity or microtrolls to arouse responses. Microtrolls are the best. Like with Zappa I said something about his excessive drug use. 90% of the time I feel the opposite of how I post. It's harmless fun, because anyone who loses sleep over a youtube comment already has some issues.
it really kills me that you folks can sit around on your fat butts "analyzing" good tunes. could you all please just shut the f*** up for a moment and just enjoy the music???? get on with your life. PLEASE.
@kalon216 Hate to tell you this, but people get paid to do that. It's also a given on any site music is posted and comments are allowed. Music divides people, for better or worse, and everyone is going to put in their two cents.
One of my all-time favorites. When I'm tired of searching for a good prog song in my library, I automatically listen to this. By the way, I ripped my version from my cd from 2007, and at 5:15 I noticed a synth sound I have never heard before. And then I realized the other parts of the song are slightly different from my version. Is it a different mix?
@btom22259 What? There's prog. Keith Emerson just released an album like two years ago. Also there's a band called Transatlantic that you should listen to.
@btom22259 because words change like the way far left, centrists star to say balance a wham-o0o product into the sasquatch santa claus into the middle earth
I hardly suggest simplest music cause today, it's so urge, and kids got really astonishing techniques ! Where is the pause ? It's alike they want to kill old generation's fashions and moderation !
@Luckzzz You have to listen to this on 33 1/3 vinyl on an old Technics turntable! The only way in my opinion to get the full effect with all the crackles and pops. Classic! Something is lost on CD's that can't be repeated in its original format.
@ETericET Wrong on your dates and Genesis history, mate. Phil took over on this album, "Trick of the Tail", in 1976. This album is still pretty good and prog, but it was a slow decline from here on out. Every successive album is more and more pop. "Duke" (1980) is the last album with some vestiges of prog but still a slick 80s production. The next album "Abacab" is straight up shit. The transition was gradual and Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford were just as responsible for new pop direction.
@beastraeatsall I disagree. I like much of what they did in the 80's and 90's. Me and Sarah Jane is a nice little suite. So is "Duke's Travels". Listen to it tripping, you'll "get it." Faulting Rutherford and Banks for navigating the crazy business model of the music "industry" is either ignorance of the reality that they had to deal with (listen to the first song on "And Then There Were Three ...") or ... well, let's just say you haven't walked in their shoes so stfu.
@curefreak I'll take you seriously and say I had the same experience when I first listened to early Genesis music (pre 1980). But it was like one of these autostereograms which, while at first glance seem to be a meaningless pattern, after staring at it , the full 3-D effect emerges. The trouble is that you have to have enough trust in the musicians in order to persevere, in the hope of getting a reward. My trust and patience ran out after "Invisible Touch"!
Seems like I will investigate on this album tomorrow when I go to HMV before Future Shop, I won't buy it... I'll only gather informations... yes... ;)
I'm such in love with the instrumental of this song... My father asked me at supper who introduced me to Genesis since he had never heard me talk of them before and I truly wonder who could have introduced me to Genesis... I think that person will recorgnize herself ;)
Genesis really like their opening album tracks. 'Looking For Someone', 'The Musical Box', 'Watcher of the Skies', 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight', 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' and 'Dance on a Volcano' are all very strong. Haven't hear 'Eleventh Earl of Mar' yet.
I love Gabriel. I love pre-"Abacab" Collins. Genesis may have fallen from grace in its later years, but it's heartwarming to listen to a classic like "Nursery Cryme", a wonderful concept album like "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", and the utterly amazing "Wind and Wuthering" in my free time.
This track from the first Gabriel-less Genesis LP establishes that the band didn't need Peter to be "Genesis". "Dance on a Volcano" matches up with any cut from "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".
My dad used to play me his vinyl when i was a kid. This one is my alltime favourite since 20 years now, wow. Not only the best Genesis album but one of the best ones ever imho :)
IMHO, Genesis never skipped a beat between this LP's release in early 1976 and the much bally-hooed leaving of Peter Gabriel after "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" a year earlier. Legend has it that they tried over 200 singers to replace the amazing Pete and all the while they had an erstwhile replacement behind the drum kit in Phil Collins..dare I say a sound-alike to Pete?
@rowdymax1 Before I actually listened to Genesis, I never could tell the difference between the two. So yes, that guy who called you an idiot is a moron.
All first indications after Genesis moved on without Gabriel were that they'd be fine. But then they found a hit in 78 with "Follow You, Follow Me" and followed indeed, down the path of Phil Collins' soul-infused pop writing and, for better or for worse, megastardom. But despite keeping the prog approach to instrumentation and arrangements, they were mostly doing lame pop IMO. By Invisible Touch, it all just sounded like another Phil Collins solo record, which is to say weak.
@journeythruthepast Interestingly, I read an article last year that it was actually Tony Banks who was pushing Genesis to go commercial and Phil just went along with it. But the ironic part was that Phil benefited the most by going pop. The shame is that Trick of a Tail and Wind and Wuthering were such post-Gabriel masterpieces and they had to sacrifice art for money.
True that in later years some of the Genesis stuff was quite weak. But it is natural that a band loses its cutting edge as they get older. Genesis are by far my favourite band. I love the old stuff (The Musical Box, Firth of Fifth, The Cinema Show) but I could not live without the albums A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. Even And Then There Were Three. To me, the 3-4 albums immediately post-Gabriel were every bit as good as the three or four before that.
@grez14 Yeah I forgot to mention that but you're right. Banks and Rutherford went right along with the move to pop and it got them all rich. Collins took the brunt of the blame but he just did it better than the other two could. I can sort of respect him cause in recent years he's had a good sense of humour about it and said back then he was so annoying and overbearing as a pop star. Almost like he's a bit embarrassed at the stardom he ascended to. Gabriel always gets kudos but he tried pop too.
@DriftPirateD Phil Collins is the singer on this album, and all the ones that came afterwards with the exception of the last Genesis album 'Calling All Stations' where Ray Wilson was the singer.
@journeythruthepast Because you mentioned that you dislike the pop era, and I was being sarcastic, as Domino and Fading Lights are two extraordinary songs that they made in the pop era, and so is Home By the Sea. I wish there were more all-era fans.
@journeythruthepast Oh come on now! You can't hate the pop era. They made some great and very fun records. Plus, they made a few excellent prog rock songs then. Haven't you heard Home By the Sea/Second Home by the Sea? Banks even called it his best instrumental work at one point, and THAT is saying something.
@SoundsofRuneScape Ok I don't like the pop era as much. It got worse as it got along IMO. But I'm far from the biggest hater of this era you'll find. Some Genesis fans hate everything after 1978. I like some of their pop-era songs to be honest, but overall give me Gabriel's era any day.
@journeythruthepast You just encapsulated everything I felt in regards to Genesis. My old friend's favorite band was Genesis, but he only listened to 80s Genesis, which consequently hails in comparison to their stuff throughout the 70s.
Wow! All I can say, any more and well....Its not about me... Its about awesome music!!!!

@ETericET Wrong on your dates and Genesis history, mate. Phil took over on this album, "Trick of the Tail", in 1976. This album is still pretty good and prog, but it was a slow decline from here on out. Every successive album is more and more pop. "Duke" (1980) is the last album with some vestiges of prog but still a slick 80s production. The next album "Abacab" is straight up shit. The transition was gradual and Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford were just as responsible for new pop direction.

@beastraeatsall I disagree. I like much of what they did in the 80's and 90's. Me and Sarah Jane is a nice little suite. So is "Duke's Travels". Listen to it tripping, you'll "get it." Faulting Rutherford and Banks for navigating the crazy business model of the music "industry" is either ignorance of the reality that they had to deal with (listen to the first song on "And Then There Were Three ...") or ... well, let's just say you haven't walked in their shoes so stfu.

@curefreak I'll take you seriously and say I had the same experience when I first listened to early Genesis music (pre 1980). But it was like one of these autostereograms which, while at first glance seem to be a meaningless pattern, after staring at it , the full 3-D effect emerges. The trouble is that you have to have enough trust in the musicians in order to persevere, in the hope of getting a reward. My trust and patience ran out after "Invisible Touch"!

Genesis really like their opening album tracks. 'Looking For Someone', 'The Musical Box', 'Watcher of the Skies', 'Dancing With the Moonlit Knight', 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' and 'Dance on a Volcano' are all very strong. Haven't hear 'Eleventh Earl of Mar' yet.

I love Gabriel. I love pre-"Abacab" Collins. Genesis may have fallen from grace in its later years, but it's heartwarming to listen to a classic like "Nursery Cryme", a wonderful concept album like "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway", and the utterly amazing "Wind and Wuthering" in my free time.
GorbiJones 1 year ago
This track from the first Gabriel-less Genesis LP establishes that the band didn't need Peter to be "Genesis". "Dance on a Volcano" matches up with any cut from "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".

IMHO, Genesis never skipped a beat between this LP's release in early 1976 and the much bally-hooed leaving of Peter Gabriel after "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" a year earlier. Legend has it that they tried over 200 singers to replace the amazing Pete and all the while they had an erstwhile replacement behind the drum kit in Phil Collins..dare I say a sound-alike to Pete?

@tbscrazy12 Actually most initial reviews of Genesis post Gabriel stated that Phil Collins sounded more like Peter Gabriel than Peter Gabriel.

All first indications after Genesis moved on without Gabriel were that they'd be fine. But then they found a hit in 78 with "Follow You, Follow Me" and followed indeed, down the path of Phil Collins' soul-infused pop writing and, for better or for worse, megastardom. But despite keeping the prog approach to instrumentation and arrangements, they were mostly doing lame pop IMO. By Invisible Touch, it all just sounded like another Phil Collins solo record, which is to say weak.
journeythruthepast 1 year ago 47
@journeythruthepast Interestingly, I read an article last year that it was actually Tony Banks who was pushing Genesis to go commercial and Phil just went along with it. But the ironic part was that Phil benefited the most by going pop. The shame is that Trick of a Tail and Wind and Wuthering were such post-Gabriel masterpieces and they had to sacrifice art for money.

@journeythruthepast
True that in later years some of the Genesis stuff was quite weak. But it is natural that a band loses its cutting edge as they get older. Genesis are by far my favourite band. I love the old stuff (The Musical Box, Firth of Fifth, The Cinema Show) but I could not live without the albums A Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering. Even And Then There Were Three. To me, the 3-4 albums immediately post-Gabriel were every bit as good as the three or four before that.

grez14 1 year ago
@grez14 Yeah I forgot to mention that but you're right. Banks and Rutherford went right along with the move to pop and it got them all rich. Collins took the brunt of the blame but he just did it better than the other two could. I can sort of respect him cause in recent years he's had a good sense of humour about it and said back then he was so annoying and overbearing as a pop star. Almost like he's a bit embarrassed at the stardom he ascended to. Gabriel always gets kudos but he tried pop too.

@journeythruthepast Because you mentioned that you dislike the pop era, and I was being sarcastic, as Domino and Fading Lights are two extraordinary songs that they made in the pop era, and so is Home By the Sea. I wish there were more all-era fans.
ThroughRock 11 months ago 2
@journeythruthepast Oh come on now! You can't hate the pop era. They made some great and very fun records. Plus, they made a few excellent prog rock songs then. Haven't you heard Home By the Sea/Second Home by the Sea? Banks even called it his best instrumental work at one point, and THAT is saying something.
SoundsofRuneScape 11 months ago
@SoundsofRuneScape Ok I don't like the pop era as much. It got worse as it got along IMO. But I'm far from the biggest hater of this era you'll find. Some Genesis fans hate everything after 1978. I like some of their pop-era songs to be honest, but overall give me Gabriel's era any day.

@journeythruthepast You just encapsulated everything I felt in regards to Genesis. My old friend's favorite band was Genesis, but he only listened to 80s Genesis, which consequently hails in comparison to their stuff throughout the 70s.
