Trick of The Tail/Ripples, my 1st ever vinyl single 74/75?I was 13/14 - an older hippyish guy who lived near me gave me it as his example to me of good music. He wasnt wrong.
I found it very difficult to believe after all this time anyone could not like or "thumbs down" Genesis. I have to say it growing up in the seventies where the era of the singer/songwriter was highly prevelant and the epitome of the age was reflected in truly magnificent artists such as Genesis. I have yet to find in today's age of cookie cutter musicians artists who evoked such emotions!
Daryl did not destroy no guitar parts whatsoever!!! So just can it!!!! He is a great guitarist!!!!! He's just fabulous!!!! He can play it with his eyes closed so shut up!!!!!!!
sorry for my terrible english, dont'worry you are not alone, in these world these always someone who thinks to you everytime, when you listen this wonderful song remember that someone is listening close to you. God bless you!
I was in my early teens when Trick of the Tail was released and although I loved the song, I couldn't relate to the lyrics. Now, at nearly 50, I have returned to Genesis and the meanings behind this song are very clear and moving.
Tenía 13 años y no me dejaban salir de casa,pero tenia una radio portátil con cassetera eran los años 86/87 y buscando entre los diales recuerdo k me volví fanática de Genesis/Phil Collins con estos sonidos k me hacian volar hacia lugares lejanos, si podia volar y aún hoy los escucho y me hacen soñar. Una joyita para el alma ;) al igual k cinema show!!
One of the most beautiful songs ever written! That goes for the whole album. These are the golden years of Genesis, not the 80's stuff. Hobbit rock rules! Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Yes, (I could do w/o Styx) are the sounds of my youth. Then the visual decade, 80's buried these bands and made eyecandy-friendly bands big. Now, it's still all about looks over licks. Great loss to music.
I wish I had been alive back when music was meaningful... I just turned 30 and NEVER listen to new stuff, which in my opinion is all the same, from one band to another. No more guitar or sax solos, no more soul, no more heart...
I would have loved to see them on this tour. Unfortunately, they didnt make it any where near the upper left corner of the US. I was lucky enough to see them back in 86 during their "Invisable Touch" tour. They are just as tight now as they were back in 86. Sweet vid, thanks for posting this!
To Awkmore; Music has changed. Hillary Duff? Britney Spears? Back in my day there was the term called "Formula Rock," not complimentary at all. Sometimes Record Cos. go for the bottom line, so a lot of thin music gets airplay and honest artists go by the wayside, but search long and thorough enough and you'll be able to find someone who has a voice, a heart, and a lot of talent to spare and at the top of the current trends. Substance is usually not a concern when money is at stake.
@Awkmore I listened to this album constantly when it came out in '76 (I was 14) & absolutely loved it but 'Ripples' always bothered me because it felt like a disturbing premonition - the album artwork shows an old crone looking into a mirror and seeing her younger self reflected back. And it's true, you still feel the same but the reflection keeps changing (my mum & mother-in-law always wanted to know who the old woman in the mirror was as they still felt 18!) & at 48 I know what they meant ;)
@hoptunaa21 You are so right...but think of the knowledge and the inner beauty we have all become. Love it and be proud we could experience such music. We will not see it again!!! I doubt others will too..... x
I was in high school when "Trick of theTale" came out. I was a devout fan of Genesis, but this particular song, just one of their masterpieces, I would listen to over and over as I battled with attention deficit, adolescence and host of other problems known all too well by loner teenagers. I brought the album to play in a teacher's class one day, but she me told to stop the song before it ended. She heard the lyrics and acutely felt her mortality, At the time I did't get the song's
@Awkmore Good for you for listening to it. If you listen to stuff like this you will hear the REAL music. I feel so badly for your young generation that you don't have music of this quality - I'm not being patronizing - it's not your fault. I really truly feel sorry for you. I'm sure the really good music will come back - maybe the next generation?! Just keep listening. You are wise beyond your years!..with love.
@gillyflower100 Firstly I didn't criticize Tony Banks. I play the piano myself, so my comment was purely technical curiosity. I would probably have transposed it, too. Secondly, even if I was criticizing him, I would have every right to do so. Do you have to be a rock star to criticize other rock stars? No, you don't. That would be stupid.
@firthof Hey!..wussup firthof ?..Greetings from the U.S....i read ur comment(s), and your reply to that nitwit, is right on..I'm an average keyboard player and always working on Genesis material. Your curious musical insight is indeed interesting and helpful....Thanks for pointing it out!...Have you also noticed how they decided to cut the instrumental section in half ?..Leaving out the very highlight of this song..Hackett never would've went for that "time restraint" idea....Thanks again
Audrey...this is not what I am talking about...I know all about copyright blocking and that is not what the problem was...I did complain to YOUTUBE and they FIXED the problem yesterday morning.
All music audios, etc. were volume-blocked for 3 days here in the Vancouver area of Canada.
Not one song I commented on, was copyright blocked...and they have not removed them from YouTube.
But, thanks, for ur input.
I will now remove my post, as the prob. is now solved.
I saw Genesis first back in 1970 when they played support to Curved Air at Essex University and again at Leicester's De Montfort Hall in 72, both of course with frontman Peter Gabriel. I have photos from both gigs.
I'm big into a ton of genres. I'll go from Brian Wilson to Grupo Niche to Keith Jarrett to Jorge Villamil to Oasis to Copland to Frankie Valli.
Ripples could be the most affecting song I've ever heard. This version - though a bit snipped - blows my mind. And, most importantly, tugs at my heart.
Ripples Bri - Ripples.... You an angel in my eyes - ripples never come back.. be prosperous. - Everyone needs to check out that whole album. One of ther best works. Dance on a volcano ! Trick of the tail.
Ripples Bri - Ripples.... You an angel in my eyes - ripples never come back.. be prosperous. - Everyone needs to check out that whole album. One of ther best works. Dance on a volcano !
this song rules!!! everyone that said steve hackett was the sh## hasn't seriously listened to darryl= he's at least equal, this coming from a monster genesis fan. thanks for posting.
And the truncated instrumental passage even makes sense. This version is just fantastic. Collins, for all of his post-Genesis whining, absolutely nails it. He's a born entertainer who on this tune shows some great interpretive skills.
@Aggromerchant I don't get why Phil's so down on himself now. If he calls himself a "caricature" one more time I'm gonna find a way to get to Switzerland to smack him upside that wonderfully bald head of his.
PeterMayer I have listening the 78 tour version, very nostalgic, thank you!, but I still thinking this version is better, for me. Your musical taste is as good as mine.
Phil might have lost some of his range, but to me his voice seems more refined here. Nice phrasing. What a beautifful live representation of this song too. Along with Firth, this is my fave Genesis song.
Wow...what memories, my late husband and I listened to this always....so many tears, my husband drowned 8 yrs ago...it's so lonely. how can one be so lonely around people..please pray for me. I have not heard from any of his or our friends ever...you do not get invited to movies or dinners ect when you are only one. S.D
Hey, hang in there .... Karma's an awesome thing... good things happen to good people ..... your late husband would be proud .... & want you to move on ....
@bornagainru119 God Bless You.... I'm listening to this song as I am about to enter alcohol rehab in a week....42, down and out, just lost my 3rd job in 2years....... miss my children in Illinois, 8 and 9, as I prepare to go back to my hometown in NJ.... I can't imagine the grieving you're going through..... At least we have this song to help us along the grieving process......
@CHHSE1986 Please do not give up. Continue with the rehab, my younger brother decided to take his last drink and blacked out in 07 and killed a man. You are loved , do not forget that. The enemy (satin) will try to cut you down. I will help, contact me anytime.
@bornagainru119 -sorry for my terrible english, dont'worry you are not alone, in these world these always someone who thinks to you everytime, when you listen this wonderful song remember that someone is listening close to you. God bless you!
@bornagainru119 that is the power of music...awakes joy and painful memories as well. Hold on, be convinced your husband is in a better place and watches at you every day, so don't feel lonely...i'll pray God to give you peace, and since you say you have your faith... remember, God loves you, and always answers our prayers, according to His times. May His peace be with you, dear bornagainru... be REALLY born again ! ;-))
Agreed 100%. I saw them in Boston and was very moved by the song. Even my girlfriend/partner who only knew the hits, was very moved by this song and she has no emotional interest in Genesis whatsoever.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
It is obvious the guys are geting older. Slower pace on the 2nd part and sung at a lower pitch - doen's sound the same, and defentiely not better than the original.
Beautiful vocal performance!! I must say I had low/moderate expectations of this Genesis reunion. The chops are not quite up to the Genesis of old, but Phil's vocals are top notch:)
I recorded this for a stewardess girlfriend of mine in the 80s, she played it over the PA system in the airport. She took it in the ass.Good girl, musical taste too.
Great stuff. I saw them at the Orpheum in Boston in June 1980; that was the only non-arena show on the whole tour. Anyway, I couldn't get Ripples out of my head for the next two months. By the way, I like the cozy stage set up for the 2007 tour.
Was lucky to see Genesis in 1977 at San Diego Sports Arena. Ripples was incredible. The band had some sort of green laser suspended above the stage. Phil acted out the songs with a great performance. Steve Hackett played guitar, and Daryl Stuemer and the band hit all the notes perfectly here. There ripples have come back. Thanks for this concert clip, MayaZlatogorka.
Phil's voice is gone. Nice music, but they did it much better in the 70s and 80s, especially on the vocals. The album version is classic so I'm not sure what MCGenesis1984 means by slamming the "Trick of Tail" album version. Sure miss the good old Genesis days when Steve Hackett was the guitarist. This song brings back those memories. C'mon Phil... grow the bushy beard back and get out the old tamborines. Especially get that microphone back on the stand. You're not Sinatra!

It is obvious the guys are geting older. Slower pace on the 2nd part and sung at a lower pitch - doen's sound the same, and defentiely not better than the original.

Beautiful song:
"Marching to the promised land
Where the honey flows and takes you by the hand,
Pulls you down on your knees,
While you're down a pool appears.
The face in the water looks up,
And she shakes her head as if to say
That it's the last time you'll look like today"

Beautiful vocal performance!! I must say I had low/moderate expectations of this Genesis reunion. The chops are not quite up to the Genesis of old, but Phil's vocals are top notch:)

i believe this lower tuning makes this song prettier, but dont misunderstand me, the album version is incredible a very romantic, just lovely

I recorded this for a stewardess girlfriend of mine in the 80s, she played it over the PA system in the airport. She took it in the ass.Good girl, musical taste too.

@hongkong506: Such romantic eloquence in your dichotomic discourse. What a lucky girl?

Great stuff. I saw them at the Orpheum in Boston in June 1980; that was the only non-arena show on the whole tour. Anyway, I couldn't get Ripples out of my head for the next two months. By the way, I like the cozy stage set up for the 2007 tour.

Was lucky to see Genesis in 1977 at San Diego Sports Arena. Ripples was incredible. The band had some sort of green laser suspended above the stage. Phil acted out the songs with a great performance. Steve Hackett played guitar, and Daryl Stuemer and the band hit all the notes perfectly here. There ripples have come back. Thanks for this concert clip, MayaZlatogorka.

I agree, but in some songs that doesn't sound good as before... what can you do, can't find the years :D

Great preformance, not worse than the album-version.

Phil's voice is gone. Nice music, but they did it much better in the 70s and 80s, especially on the vocals. The album version is classic so I'm not sure what MCGenesis1984 means by slamming the "Trick of Tail" album version. Sure miss the good old Genesis days when Steve Hackett was the guitarist. This song brings back those memories. C'mon Phil... grow the bushy beard back and get out the old tamborines. Especially get that microphone back on the stand. You're not Sinatra!

That's a bit harsh (-:
It's really pretty good for 2007. The guy's never going to be an inspired hippie again.
I'm with you on the album version: absolutely unbeatable.
