Never get tired of Cage. Part 6/4 part 4/4 time with drums and keyboards doing a sort of counter rhythm "pulse". Banks' solo is very "Flight of the Bumble Bee". Love this genre of music with it's abrupt time signature and key changes. The more complex and busy the better. Like Jethro Tull. Yes, King Crimson, ELP, and the American equivilent: the supreme Kansas. These gentlemen are classically trained and very precise and in synch. Fun to read their sheet music.
Amazing how the band tranformed a song from a nearly obscure 1974 album into a magnificent live medley with great stage theatrics and musicianship! Loved the original with Gabriel, and the remake with Collins is fantastic. Throughout, Tony Banks drives the hypnotic theme as it builds and builds.
I have a dvd of this ripped from the old laser disc and these camera angles look totally different. Where did you get this? Did they finally release an official DVD or Bluray?
Tony Banks is one of the best damn keyboard players ever. His Cage solo is one of the most techincally complex outside of the stuff Manzarek did with the Doors. Amazing.
I came home one night, off my tits on magic mushrooms, and this was on tv.. My dad thought I wanted to see it so he went to bed leaving me to watch it with the imposition that I looked after the fire, It was summer and I found out next morning that I had stuffed a bucket full of coal onto an inert (thankfully) electric fire..
JMO. I've heard both versions, over and over. It's a beautiful song! TY Tony. I've compared Pete's version vs. Phil's version of singing the song, and thou they are both excellent, Phil's is the best. It's clearer, not so much w/ the theatrics, and I can Hear the lyrics..
What I like about Phil's version is he keeps the emotion and theatrics of the piece and makes it more melodic. Peter's version is more intense, but to me this is more "listenable".
@kamwrites - One thing not so great about Peter-era Genesis was that he was often 'mumbly' with his singing, so unless you knew the lyrics, you couldn't male a lot of it out. As I've said elsewhere, it rather annoys me when people attack a band (or members thereof) because some member they liked LEFT the band...not KICKED THEM OUT, but just left on their own. That's just f'ing stupidity to be complaining about. People can say they don't care for something w/o being complete dicks about it.
@xnonsuchx Yes. Agreed. Gabriel was a lover of words so he had to cram them in. And when a band has so many creative people in it, there's no way everyone can be satisfied. I'd love to have heard more from Gabriel with Genesis, but there is plenty of Phil with Genesis (and Ray with Genesis) that I like. I like Peter's and Phil's solo things as well. The split gave us that much more good music to listen to. If they want to fight over which is better, let them. We can enjoy all of it. ;)
I've been switching between Les Miserables and some old Genesis videos for a couple hours now, and the thought popped into my head: The Lamb as a musical?
I know it would be an utter rape of the Genesis spirit, but it would be kind of awsome, wouldn't it? It is of course to be performed on Broadway ;)
Only time the keyboards haven't been to the right (audience view) of the stage. Tony probably looked at those drums on either side of him and said, "Aw, hell no."
@trombone7 i thought that to myself as well as far as it not being my kind of music. I really didn;t like this song at all.maybe cause i thought it didnt fit phil's voice. but the more i heard it, the more I liked it, & then when i found out Peter Gabriel originally sang this version, i loved his rendition even more. Now, it's one of my favorite genesis songs.
Well done! No one can question Phil's talent. His use of talent is completely questionable. Does a nice job covering this song by Genesis off of the last real Genesis album.
i think it's so nice to see that phil is so true to PGs intention of the song. When he appears in the leather jacket i get a feeling in me that i never experienced with phil before. i am no big fan of the Phil period, but i have to say:
I'd expect the back and forth from the Dave and Sam folks...but, not from you guys... don't we all know you aren't wrong in your opinion when it comes to art and music?
Sorry, but I think you guys are so silly. Ea. person is different. Each person is talented in their own right. And I love them both. They both have enormous talent, and I wish I had it. So I love to listen and watch and not compare, it's just a 'no win" game. JMO
To compare Gabriel and Collins is really unneccessary, they are both excellent in Genesis. The truth of the matter is that Phil was a huge part of the band's vocal sound from the beginning, many of Gabriel's parts were doubled or harmonized by Collins, which is why many people didn't even realise the change at first when Phil stepped up on "A trick of the tail", because the timbre of the vocals were quite the same, although the phrasing was different.
@Ullprutt I'm glad Gabriel left coz I love both of their music. 2 for 1 in my book. But I would have loved to see Genesis continue with the abstract stage performances. I've seen them live twice however and they put on a superb show. missed the reunion tour coz 800 a ticket was insane. Seen Phil solo a few times too. Great times.
@Mthrok and this is my fave version of the medley. The one from the recent reunion with dukes travels in it was kinda um... horrible. There is an '86 version floating around the internet that is ALMOST as good as this one but the colony of slipperman makes this the best imo
To all you, who say that Collins is better than Gabriel. 'Ignorance' is an understatement... He's the best Pete's immitator, that's for sure. And, to me, one of three best rock drummers ever.
PC was not a PG imitator. He sang the early Genesis songs because he had to , and he had his own style. If you look at PC and PG playing In the Cage, for instance, they both do it differently. And they both sounded good.
I agree that comparing doesn't make much sense. To me music is not supposed to be a competition, I just ANSWERED to those who do make those comparisons. Love them both, Gabriel and Collins, even if after Hackett's departure in 1976, to me, Genesis was gone... Just my opinion.
Initially, on the first few Genesis albums with Phil vocals, yes -- Phil did seem to emulate Peter's singing style. And in my opinion he succeeded in doing so. But he had definitely developed his own unique style by the time Abacab came out. IMHO this was already the case with Duke.
Does Phil need to immitate someone? or Gabriel tried to emulate Collins in his pop genius on his album So. Phil is Phil, Peter is Peter. Get a life you Gabriel and progrock widows. you are nothing but boring.
As I said (many times, on different occassions), I'm against making music a competition until... someone says so stupid like "Gabriel emulating Collins, and his pop genius (?!) in 'So'.
That's a new one... You're MY genius, MNori...
And I'd rather be a boring prog than brain dead pop widow...
in the cage is an epic song, but the chorus doesn't really work that well with just one vocalist it sounded much better with peter gabriel singing the "in the cage" line and phil doing the backing vocal part but instrumentally this version is very strong
@Wakinshaw i really like the duke tour version, it's more raw. wheres as this one has that signiture "phil sound" we've all come to know.....not that theres anything wrong with that.
One of the things that's so good about the Three-Sides-Live version (& the version from this tour generally) is combination of Mike's bass/Chester's drums. They lock-in and swing more than usual. It helps that Phil was on fire in those days as a singer and performer.
The best version of the medley is on the Three Sides Live album (for those born in 1980 or after, you can find it on the Three Sides Live "CD"...HAH) In The Cage can be found by itself on The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. Awesome version with Peter Gabriel there, too.
best performance I've seen so far by Genesis. best medley. (too bad it's cut off here. "cinema show" and (i think) "afterglow" follow up to this one. great drumming.)
collins and band bursting with potential, energetic peak of their career, IMHO. additionally, some of their best compositions, musical peak. unbeatable combination. :-)
The medley is in another video titled 'Mama Tour Medley.' It's the version where they switch to 'In That Quiet Earth' between the 'Cinema Show' section and the 'Slippermen/Raven' section.
According to Wikipedia, "The Mama Tour is set to be released on DVD, with 5.1 DTS and Dolby Digital sound, in late 2009. It will be included with a Genesis live DVD box set, which will also include the Three Sides Live concert film as well as other releases and unreleased footage." Huzzah!
Peter Gabriel never has been best than Phil Collins. Gabriel has been deified by melancholic and extreme fanatic people and they have always tried to despise the Collins' work in Genesis. A test is that Gabriel has never repeated that he did when he was the Genesis leader nor on his solo carreer. The genius of Genesis is on the work from all members, not only the Gabriel's.
Excellent version, but with a lot of intenseness and Collins quality of voice, much better than Gabriel.
gabriel or collins, I like both. but I agree, collins' work tends to be underestimated or even disregarded, which it absolutely doesnt deserve. master drummer, great singer, great composer. yes, genesis is a band, everthing that makes genesis a great band is a group effort, not a solo artist's one.
collins' performance on this one is superb, no doubt.
btw., I'm really missing ray wilson with genesis. I think they had great potential, but far too little time (for wilson).
Technically, the Abacab tour took place in 1981 and the "Three Sides Live" tour took place in 1982. This version of "In The Cage" comes from the 1983/84 "Mama" tour. The "Mama" tour was the only time Tony Banks was located center stage, between the drummers.
Genesis had two separate tours for Abacab and then the subsequent "Three Sides Live" album. Again, the Abacab tour began in 1981. I saw the Abacab tour in November of that year. The next year (1982) saw the release and subsequent tour supporting the "Three Sides Live" album. I saw this tour as well and it remains separate and apart from the previous 1981 Abacab tour, which can be corroborated by the separate tour programs (I have them both.) for each of those tours.
Okay, my source included the 1982 dates in the "Abacab" tour, but if you have a tour program for "Three Sides Live" (released in June 1982) I can't argue with that!
AFAIK, they didn't release any live stuff from the 1982 tour.
True, they didn't release any live stuff from 1982. Too bad! They did a full "Suppers' Ready"! Saw it in amazement in Aug. 82. BTW, the 82 tour programme uses the same "Three Sides Live" font on the front!
Thats part of it not all of it though, Lamb is not just about one thing. Drugs relate to consciousness just like spirituality, could be about different things, mythical themes abound in Lamb, the greatest album I've ever heard.
yeh i agree, , but i hear the lyrics and they remind me of being in a regretable drug state, like you took to much or having a bad trip,gensis mention liqiud fear in a few songs,have any idea wot there getting at?cos i cant work it out
Pure talent, baby. The musicianship that these old prog rock bads have cant even BEGIN to be matched by current bands. It's like comparing the Old Masters of art to fingerpainting.
relax. please properly name/number your videos so we can find the next part, like "medley part1 - in the cage", "medley part2 - cinema show", ... thanks :-)
It's a crime that such fantastically talented musicians are ignored every year by the "Rock N Roll" Hall of Fame. So many of these old prog-rock bands are filled with stunning musical talent. But hey, Run DMC makes it in...
Not only Run DMC, but Madonna makes it it, when the fuck was she ever rock & roll. At this rate Brittney Spears and New Kids will be in before Genesis or YES
I like Phil putting on the Rael jacket. I've seen these guys many many times since '76 and they have never disappointed. Phil always screws up the lyrics though.
It's "angels keep calling out my name" not "angels keep falling on my head" Sounds stupid.
PG had a lot more essence than this guy, no doubt, but I am only writing that in response to those who think the opposite, as per below here. Collins is amazing, but I preferred by far the old line up. What memories come flooding hearing this, well, not this version, but this song anyways.
One of the best songs of Genesis, personally I prefer how Phil sings it, and yeah, maybe he gives a more "poppy" sound to the song and that's because of his voice tone that is lighter than Peter's.
Tony was almost flawless at the solo, and I must say that it's not that easy to play.
I'm glad that this has so many views on here. Many more than I would expect for a relatively obscure Genesis video. Anyways, this is about all the proof you need that Phil could stand his own. Personally, I prefer it over Peter's version.
I even read an interview where Peter said that the other guys told him that they don't understand his lyrics back before he left. I personally am not at all moved by Phil performing this song.
To redace01: Yeah that's because Peter wrote the lyrics for this song. I think Peter does better in giving it the 'dark, helpless feeling' because only he knows what was on his mind while he wrote it. I think one can never completely understand and feel a song if he hasn't written it himself and thus only Peter could get across the feeling as good. Because only he knew which message he wanted to deliver.
These comments about Phil make me laugh. Phil makes sounds sound 'poppy', that's the appeal. If you want dark, go Gabriel and leave Phil alone, without him, Genesis would have been a far less dynamic band; his contribution to Genesis should never be underestimated.
This is a song that you can never get tired of! At this time in the band's history, there was so much energy in the performances and the show was mesmerizing. I am sure that effects have evolved, but back then this was the experience.
My hat's off to these guys for so many years of extraordinary performances!
I first heard this song with phil singing it & it just sounded weird (cause i'm so use to him singing soft rock songs) not knowing it was a peter song......both peter and phil have their moments but if i had to choose......peter gabriel all the way
Fantastic clip of an awsome song. The lighting 'focussing in' on Phil Collins looks 'run of the mill' today but in 1984 this was groundbreaking stuff.
I just listened to Peter's rendition of the song, and then this one, and I too , believe Phil sings this song MUCH better than Peter. I hate to say it ,cause so much is made of who is better. Personally, I like them both, and enjoy both their musical careers & have all their records along w/ Genesis. But Phil owns this song JMO.
Peter's words - strange?

@mahotsukai2007:
gabriel or collins, I like both. but I agree, collins' work tends to be underestimated or even disregarded, which it absolutely doesnt deserve. master drummer, great singer, great composer. yes, genesis is a band, everthing that makes genesis a great band is a group effort, not a solo artist's one.
collins' performance on this one is superb, no doubt.
btw., I'm really missing ray wilson with genesis. I think they had great potential, but far too little time (for wilson).

This is actually alot better then the one off Three Sides live. Sounds less poppy and upbeat, more dark and eeary. Not bad.
It was better when collins was in the back on drums doing and fading in and out with the ohhhh part after "get me out of this cage"

The Abacab tour was in 1982, buddy.
felsner1 2 years ago
Technically, the Abacab tour took place in 1981 and the "Three Sides Live" tour took place in 1982. This version of "In The Cage" comes from the 1983/84 "Mama" tour. The "Mama" tour was the only time Tony Banks was located center stage, between the drummers.

Yes, but what was the question?
michaelpoplett 2 years ago
No, there was no "Three Sides Live tour." The first three sides of "Three Sides Live" were recorded on the Abacab tour in 1981.
mfnickster 2 years ago
Genesis had two separate tours for Abacab and then the subsequent "Three Sides Live" album. Again, the Abacab tour began in 1981. I saw the Abacab tour in November of that year. The next year (1982) saw the release and subsequent tour supporting the "Three Sides Live" album. I saw this tour as well and it remains separate and apart from the previous 1981 Abacab tour, which can be corroborated by the separate tour programs (I have them both.) for each of those tours.
Traceoffate 2 years ago
Okay, my source included the 1982 dates in the "Abacab" tour, but if you have a tour program for "Three Sides Live" (released in June 1982) I can't argue with that!
AFAIK, they didn't release any live stuff from the 1982 tour.
mfnickster 2 years ago
True, they didn't release any live stuff from 1982. Too bad! They did a full "Suppers' Ready"! Saw it in amazement in Aug. 82. BTW, the 82 tour programme uses the same "Three Sides Live" font on the front!

Thats part of it not all of it though, Lamb is not just about one thing. Drugs relate to consciousness just like spirituality, could be about different things, mythical themes abound in Lamb, the greatest album I've ever heard.

It's a crime that such fantastically talented musicians are ignored every year by the "Rock N Roll" Hall of Fame. So many of these old prog-rock bands are filled with stunning musical talent. But hey, Run DMC makes it in...

Not only Run DMC, but Madonna makes it it, when the fuck was she ever rock & roll. At this rate Brittney Spears and New Kids will be in before Genesis or YES

I like Phil putting on the Rael jacket. I've seen these guys many many times since '76 and they have never disappointed. Phil always screws up the lyrics though.
It's "angels keep calling out my name" not "angels keep falling on my head" Sounds stupid.

It's Raindrops keep falling on my head - nothing whatsoever to do with Angels in this song! Perhaps an ear test is due?

PG had a lot more essence than this guy, no doubt, but I am only writing that in response to those who think the opposite, as per below here. Collins is amazing, but I preferred by far the old line up. What memories come flooding hearing this, well, not this version, but this song anyways.

ABittenfeld 3 years ago
One of the best songs of Genesis, personally I prefer how Phil sings it, and yeah, maybe he gives a more "poppy" sound to the song and that's because of his voice tone that is lighter than Peter's.
Tony was almost flawless at the solo, and I must say that it's not that easy to play.

I'm glad that this has so many views on here. Many more than I would expect for a relatively obscure Genesis video. Anyways, this is about all the proof you need that Phil could stand his own. Personally, I prefer it over Peter's version.

still to redace01:
I even read an interview where Peter said that the other guys told him that they don't understand his lyrics back before he left. I personally am not at all moved by Phil performing this song.
Gehirnstrudel 3 years ago
To redace01: Yeah that's because Peter wrote the lyrics for this song. I think Peter does better in giving it the 'dark, helpless feeling' because only he knows what was on his mind while he wrote it. I think one can never completely understand and feel a song if he hasn't written it himself and thus only Peter could get across the feeling as good. Because only he knew which message he wanted to deliver.
Gehirnstrudel 3 years ago
These comments about Phil make me laugh. Phil makes sounds sound 'poppy', that's the appeal. If you want dark, go Gabriel and leave Phil alone, without him, Genesis would have been a far less dynamic band; his contribution to Genesis should never be underestimated.

Personally, I like them both, and enjoy both their musical careers & have all their records along w/ Genesis. But Phil owns this song JMO.
