Classic Gabriel...he hasn't changed a bit, always eccentric, always stood out.Funny how Phil is totally opposite from him, but they both brought so much to this band as frontmen. Love Genesis..always.
I love the mellotron intro and ending. Parts of it remind me of the loud powerful sounds of the classic Spanish pipe organ with it's reed stops pulled out. Those Spanish instruments were truly the synthesisers of their time. Peter Gabriel is a true showman, exercising much dramatic restraint here by allowing his powerful voice and costume to convey the elements of this piece in a most masterful manner.

I remember seeing them on tv on a show called "The Midnight Special" Peter Gabriel came out with the Triangular mask and cape and the song was the knife..Me being unaware about their music thought " Oh no! not another "Kiss" I hate kiss..no ofence to the people that like "kiss" music.
So i immediately changed the channel..Fortunately for me i latter discovered Genesis and their wonderful music.
Does anyone remember seeing them on "The Midnight Special"?

@futurlou Fantastico questo commento! Finalmente uno che rompe gli indugi abbandonando il linguaggio "politically coorrect" e dà l'unica definizione possibile di quelli che non capiscono un beata minchia di musica!!!! Eh sì perchè non sono ammissibili altri commenti se non che questa dei Genesis sia arte pura!!!
BACH is way older and defenitely more eternal than GENESIS ,tough they are both "over". What remains after "the years" have gone...is probably the deepness of the trigger to the individual human soul...at a certain point or part of his own personal lifetime...So...It will never be possible to bet BACH...but GENESIS remains a source of creativity for all people and souls looking for that motor in life!
If you have discovered Genesis after 1976, you are probably listening to the best music since that time. If you've discovered the Genesis 1971' from, you can be sure that this is the best music ever.
i'm forty-nine now my older sister bought this album when it came out i found it a few years later and it changed my life, yes i said album, and yes i know it sounds dramatic but it was such a change from everything else,not to say that Sabbath and Led Zep were bad or anything but Genesis really opened my eyes, this is my favorite song of all time!

This would be the ultimate " reunion concert"! First of all , they're all still alive, and Gabriel wouldn't even need the "old man" costume for "The Musical Box"
A 35 year-fan, honest realiser and realistic man, Genesis-conoisseur could not believe things "just went like you write it here". Peter left , Peter wanted to walk other ways..."And then they were 3" ,that is all you need to know to be true. Voilà. And above that... most drummers think they are good drummers as long as they "roll thunder". Compared to Collins who makes LIGHT out of all his drumparts ,the others are just the "regular ones".
@waveoflight I think its because Gabriel known that Genesis started to become like Pop music...Peter is a progressive rock singer. (sorry for my bad english)
@TheKrakenLegend I do agree with Peter Gabriel being a progressive rock singer except for sledgehammer,shock the monkey,big time & in your eyes. My opinion is when Steve Hackett left is when they became pop.
@TheKrakenLegend Wind and Wuthering and Trick of the Tail aren't pop...and they didn't have Gabriel. Each subsequent album kept elements of prog in them. Peter did his fair share of pop as well. It's like they've said countless times, who wants to do the same thing over and over? Not to mention, it is a comment misconception that prog is always better than pop. I've heard plenty of crappy prog songs. ;)
@waveoflight I hear Gabriel was kinda tired and exausted from touring and wanted to leave the band to become more of a family man and Genesis didn't mind too much because they were tired of his "unannounced stage histrionics" and thought he was sepparating himself from the band (like Morrison with The Doors).... pretty much, Gabriel changed his mind and Collins sounded a lot like Gabriel, and the rest is history
i have forgotten the drummer -- my brain refuses to rember his name -- really -- i guess it can't cope with his pushing Peter and art away in an attempt at temporary commercal success -- TIME HAS JUDGED :)
@CANARVONKID I'd respectfully disagree w/ you on that point. Gabriel and Banks were getting better and better together when Ant left and caused the percussion void that Collins filled. The way I see it, if Ant hadn't left when he did, Collins would have never auditioned and Gabriel wouldn't have left because of Collins and Steve wouldn't have left because of Gabriel's leaving. Collins took it another direction, just interesting to think that they'd all be together if Ant hadn't left ??

I thank God every time I listen to this that I got to see them perform it live in Los Angeles in 1973. The 1975 "Lamb tour" concert at the Shrine Auditorium was the best show I've ever seer, bar none in my 51 years of life !!! Nothing will ever top it no matter what I see in the future.
Collin's genesis does not have elaborate stage costumes that fit the song. Gabriel's genesis did. The costume that gabriel is wearing is called "batwings."
watcher of the skies or invisible toch, gabriel´s genesis or collins´genesis, what is the best?, I think that both of them, well, I like more Gabriel´s genesis, was rock progresive, but I love but of them, phil collins or peter gabriel, I don´t mind both was and are better than justin beiber, shakira, or jonas sisters
Many Thanks to the group of Genesis Fans who painstakingly restored this film... It was done frame by frame... and took over 2 years.... This was when Bands actually wrote and played their own music...

Everybody at school were into some kind of -what they used to call- music and me with some friends where searching our boundaries through GENESIS, YES, ELOY and other HIGH CLASS groups !
Thanx to those early PIONEERS of Prog Rock we today listen to their followers...QUEENSRYCHE, SAVATAGE, PARADISE LOST and many others.
I want to THANK in public all those who gave me the opportunity to listen to their Heavenly music !
@TolMarcelvan A man who says he loves Genesis; you ask him,"which is your favorite and he would say, 'Invisible Touch', but a man who is a TRUE Genesis enthusiast would say, "Firth of Fifth","Dancing with the Moonlit knight" "Carpet Crawlers" or "I know What I Like", "The Knife" and "Watcher of the Skies"
@fifa2010rules So tell me, what defines a true Genesis enthusiast?....And what if someone likes ALL their musical periods!....I suggest you take the patch you have off, over one of your musical eyes!
@CANARVONKID Not to say i don't like their more Pop sounding music, i for one, love "Land of Confusion",
what i meant is that if you knew Genesis even before their biggest hit, "Invisible Touch", you would agree with it being less of what it was when Peter Gabriel was the singer and main lyricist/composer; moreover Phil Collins
was a great leader for the band and made it more commercially successful, but it never was my favorite band after Gabriel left.
@fifa2010rules I admit that you can't listen Invisible Touch and Watcher Of The Skies on the same day, BUT when you listen those things different days; both are brilliant masterpieces in their own genre.
@bastidiaz Well I for one am a Progressive Rock fan, and very much dislike pop music, howeever like i se=aid in a previous comment, i do like their pop sounding stuff, but i believe that the true genesist puts gabriel over collins. however we can't argue with opinions
@fifa2010rules Also Can Utility And The Coastliners, Fly On The Windshield, Colony of Slipperman, Supper's Ready...xD!! GENESIS IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@kamwrites Oh, sorry, I stopped of following Genesis seriously at the time when Calling all Stations was produced. Even that, I bought the CD... cause I like to contribute to good musicians anyway. Such album would be a good one if the band's name would not have been Genesis... But for Genesis listeners from 1970 is difficult to understand the very strange change in the music quality and production of guys like T.Banks or M.Rutherford.
@wirenumber5 I admit I didn't listen to CAS when it first came out. I've since fallen in love with it. I think in some ways it sounds more "old Genesis" than the later Collins era. I can understand not liking the change from the 70's onward, but it made since to do different styles of music. If I want something ethereal I go old-school, if I want "pop" I go midway, and if I want a dark, pondering philosophical note I go with CAS. One band filling all my needs. ;)
@SpenceCr0codilian I can agree, but the Peter Gabriel era was my favorite, and it was my favorite band; i had always been a progressive rock fan since i was little, so you can tell the biasness in my text, but we can't argue with opinions, but i do agree with yours one way or another.
@ABSpryteCube I liked the end of the Gabriel led Era and the start of the Collins frontman Era. I like the entirety of Genesis, but those two had the music I enjoyed most. I actually grew up listening from I can't dance onwards, so when I got a little older and started enjoying Genesis again, when I found everything they had done it had blown me away some of the great music they had released in the past. I'd have to say the only Genesis I actually don't like is the Calling All Stations album
@SpenceCr0codilian This is what makes Genesis such an amazing group. With me being 23 years old, I grew up with Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance, ABACAB, and Genesis thru my parents. As I got older, I started listening to their older stuff. I like the newer "Collins" era, because it's a link to my childhood, but I like the "Gabriel / Early Collins" era as well because this shit is brilliant! I feel like my IQ increases listening to them. And they're all extraordinary artists as well!
oh, what crap. so, by definition, a "true" fan is non-discriminatory, easily led and easily sold, non-discerning and without any evolved taste of his or her own. maybe i'm not a 'true genesis fan', by that definition, and i am really quite okay with that. but a true MUSIC fan might argue that their later stuff is radio-pop-bubblegum crap.
@SpenceCr0codilian It stopped being Genesis in the late 1970's. I don't see what the albums after that has got to do with the brilliant stuff from the 60's and 70's.
They used the same name, but did not play the same music. It's like King Crimson suddenly starting to play U2 music.
@fifa2010rules A true Genesis fan would say "I saw them do "Suppers Ready" and "The Lamb Lies Down" concerts in the same year, 1974, 8 months apart.... Which is exactly what I did, at the Auditorium RKO Theater in Rochester NY, in April and December o

@webgeek6 As a young (17 year old) fan of Genesis' older work, I'd say perhaps you shouldn't assume that EVERYTHING music-related today sounds like the stuff you hear on pop radio. I notice these guys weren't hugely popular in the early '70s... what WAS hugely popular back then wasn't that great. This stuff... this is amazing.
@webgeek6 Well, yes I call you old, but not as an offense but as a compliment. You should be proud of your age and your generation. Because unfortunately I hate mine.
3:30 the confindence and skill it takes to pull of such a vocal part is extraordinary. After you'ce watched this, go check out Phish's version. Note the difference.
Gabriel had more of a theatrical direction for Genesis as obvious in their early concerts. Great music nevertheless, but it is similar to what happened with DeYoung and Styx.

Im a huge early Genesis fan but have to say that despite the promising intro, this is by far my least favouirite song. Its disjointed, plodding and very naive in many ways. It really struggles to fit together. In fact it doesnt.
Great musicians they were (are). It would be hard not to crack up while there's a guy walking around onstage wearing a wizards cape with bats wings coming out of his head.
@snowfalltimbre absolutely agree snow! this video...although close...doesn't do it justice to seeing this LiVe....the bass from Rutherford made your body shake...
@sylverspice How can it be horrible? prog rock music is awesome and all but if collins and other felt they wanted to try other things I think it's good.im sure they feel they went through complex music and they did some pop that made the joy of millions of people. its only a plus. genesis and colling they were good at artsy complex music as well as pop song. it's just awesome. I like both so I'm luckier
Does anyone else notice when somebody opens up a macbook computer it makes a sound that sounds an awful lot like one of the intro notes for Watcher of the Skies? Everytime someone opens up a macbook laptop near me, this song immediately gets stuck in my head!
@TheCorrectAnswer56 YES!! Been listening to Foxtrot a lot lately and I noticed this tonight when I fired up my G5. It definitely sounds like Apple used a mellotron sample for the startup music of Leopard. So glad someone else noticed it too. :)
Did Collins "sell out"? Sure. Was he the only one? No.
What was Genesis' first "commercial album? Duke? Their first "relationshipy" hit was Your Own Special Way written by RUTHERFORD. Next was Follow you, Follow Me written by the whole band, all before Duke. And, yes, there was a smash single on Duke that the record company wanted to rush out, with the band's blessing. Misunderstanding? No, Alone Tonight by RUTHERFORD.
And does anyone confuse All I Need Is A Miracle with Supper's Ready? It's not like Mike and the Mechanics cranked out classic Genesis either.
So was Collins "sell out"? Yes, and he was damned good at it too, Some of the best crafted pop ever (and some a little gamey one has to admit (One More Night anyone?)). Collins was just very good at making pop. It made him a lot of money. And it's not like the band had another decade of Return of the Giant Hogweed up their sleeves anyway.
Having watched all the interviews that went along with the box releases of remasters a few years back the band admits that they couldn't have kept up with the long epics in the style that they had written early on. They still wrote some longer songs, but the style had to change.
Gabriel's stuff changed too, didn't it? He even had his contrived stuff (Sledgehammer knock off Steam ring any bells?). ALL of the prog bands changed over time. Asia certainly wasn't "classic" stuff.
So if people are hurting for the classic stuff, put ON the classic stuff. Or buy some Flower Kings and stop pouring tears out over what Phil "did to the band". I'd much rather have a I Don't Care Anymore or Sussudio than a pathetic Super's Ready Part II put out circa 1984. Everything has a place and time. Go with it. Take it for what it is. I certainly do. I don't interchange anything from Selling England By The Pound with Hello, I Must Be Going, but I don't with Security or So either.
ALL the output by the band, together and separately, was different over time. Admittedly Gabriel's stuff remained the most proggy, but prog itself changed and Gabriel went with it.
Again, as far as interchanging, I don't interchange Crimson King era with King Crimson with Discipline either. It's all different. So just like I want one or ther other, sometimes I want to listen to Man on the Corner instead of The Knife.
And not to be militant about it, no I rarely put on Anything She Does.
Genesis made great music without Gabriel or Hackett, but the real GENESIS is the original band. One thing: Hackett went on to show astounding abilities not present in Genesis and so did Gabriel.
So, the thing is, take it as it comes. This was a GREAT nand and the players went on to many great things, not counting Collins hoary sell out flip to HITS .
There are those who ask me who my top ten guitarists of all time would be...and they get the predictable Hendrix, Cippolina, Beck, Kottke, Page, Howe, Trower..blah blah blah But when I say Hackett they just draw a blank
@glezzery62 Hackett wasn't an original member he replaced Anthony Phillips. Collins made some good shit, wind and wuthering/ and then there were three. Just as Gabriel did, collins made music with the times.. Plus, Tony and Rutherford wrote most of the music. People dont give them enough credit. Gaberiel and Collins were just figure heads.
An amazing song and great video. I was heavily into Yes during the '70s but was also keen on Genesis. So sorry I never got to see them back then. Tony Banks and Phil Collins were absolutely super, and both sang harmony. Peter Gabriel is scary, and with an unbelievable voice.
This song is special for me, too. I had discovered Genesis, Trespass, as a bargain cassette bin $ .50 treasure for a year or two. It was my secret little obsession, thinking no one would understand my attraction to this bizarre band. My younger bro also fell in , as we listened in mono single speaker. One night, as I fell asleep on couch, he woke me to announce they were on the Midnight special. I stayed awake for the first verse or a bit more. Wow, better drummer and sci-fi. Hooked ever after.
whish they would get back together. but sadly nooooo

I thank God every time I listen to this that I got to see them perform it live in Los Angeles in 1973. The 1975 "Lamb tour" concert at the Shrine Auditorium was the best show I've ever seer, bar none in my 51 years of life !!! Nothing will ever top it no matter what I see in the future.

I bought it back in '75 at the age of...13 !!!
Everybody at school were into some kind of -what they used to call- music and me with some friends where searching our boundaries through GENESIS, YES, ELOY and other HIGH CLASS groups !
Thanx to those early PIONEERS of Prog Rock we today listen to their followers...QUEENSRYCHE, SAVATAGE, PARADISE LOST and many others.
I want to THANK in public all those who gave me the opportunity to listen to their Heavenly music !

@TolMarcelvan A man who says he loves Genesis; you ask him,"which is your favorite and he would say, 'Invisible Touch', but a man who is a TRUE Genesis enthusiast would say, "Firth of Fifth","Dancing with the Moonlit knight" "Carpet Crawlers" or "I know What I Like", "The Knife" and "Watcher of the Skies"

@CANARVONKID Not to say i don't like their more Pop sounding music, i for one, love "Land of Confusion",
what i meant is that if you knew Genesis even before their biggest hit, "Invisible Touch", you would agree with it being less of what it was when Peter Gabriel was the singer and main lyricist/composer; moreover Phil Collins
was a great leader for the band and made it more commercially successful, but it never was my favorite band after Gabriel left.

kamwrites 9 months ago
@kamwrites Oh, sorry, I stopped of following Genesis seriously at the time when Calling all Stations was produced. Even that, I bought the CD... cause I like to contribute to good musicians anyway. Such album would be a good one if the band's name would not have been Genesis... But for Genesis listeners from 1970 is difficult to understand the very strange change in the music quality and production of guys like T.Banks or M.Rutherford.
wirenumber5 9 months ago
@wirenumber5 I admit I didn't listen to CAS when it first came out. I've since fallen in love with it. I think in some ways it sounds more "old Genesis" than the later Collins era. I can understand not liking the change from the 70's onward, but it made since to do different styles of music. If I want something ethereal I go old-school, if I want "pop" I go midway, and if I want a dark, pondering philosophical note I go with CAS. One band filling all my needs. ;)
kamwrites 9 months ago
@SpenceCr0codilian I can agree, but the Peter Gabriel era was my favorite, and it was my favorite band; i had always been a progressive rock fan since i was little, so you can tell the biasness in my text, but we can't argue with opinions, but i do agree with yours one way or another.
ABSpryteCube 9 months ago
@ABSpryteCube I liked the end of the Gabriel led Era and the start of the Collins frontman Era. I like the entirety of Genesis, but those two had the music I enjoyed most. I actually grew up listening from I can't dance onwards, so when I got a little older and started enjoying Genesis again, when I found everything they had done it had blown me away some of the great music they had released in the past. I'd have to say the only Genesis I actually don't like is the Calling All Stations album
SpenceCr0codilian 9 months ago 2
@SpenceCr0codilian This is what makes Genesis such an amazing group. With me being 23 years old, I grew up with Invisible Touch, We Can't Dance, ABACAB, and Genesis thru my parents. As I got older, I started listening to their older stuff. I like the newer "Collins" era, because it's a link to my childhood, but I like the "Gabriel / Early Collins" era as well because this shit is brilliant! I feel like my IQ increases listening to them. And they're all extraordinary artists as well!

oh, what crap. so, by definition, a "true" fan is non-discriminatory, easily led and easily sold, non-discerning and without any evolved taste of his or her own. maybe i'm not a 'true genesis fan', by that definition, and i am really quite okay with that. but a true MUSIC fan might argue that their later stuff is radio-pop-bubblegum crap.

@SpenceCr0codilian It stopped being Genesis in the late 1970's. I don't see what the albums after that has got to do with the brilliant stuff from the 60's and 70's.
They used the same name, but did not play the same music. It's like King Crimson suddenly starting to play U2 music.

Gabriel had more of a theatrical direction for Genesis as obvious in their early concerts. Great music nevertheless, but it is similar to what happened with DeYoung and Styx.

People.
Did Collins "sell out"? Sure. Was he the only one? No.
What was Genesis' first "commercial album? Duke? Their first "relationshipy" hit was Your Own Special Way written by RUTHERFORD. Next was Follow you, Follow Me written by the whole band, all before Duke. And, yes, there was a smash single on Duke that the record company wanted to rush out, with the band's blessing. Misunderstanding? No, Alone Tonight by RUTHERFORD.
toolkien 1 year ago
cont....
And does anyone confuse All I Need Is A Miracle with Supper's Ready? It's not like Mike and the Mechanics cranked out classic Genesis either.
So was Collins "sell out"? Yes, and he was damned good at it too, Some of the best crafted pop ever (and some a little gamey one has to admit (One More Night anyone?)). Collins was just very good at making pop. It made him a lot of money. And it's not like the band had another decade of Return of the Giant Hogweed up their sleeves anyway.
toolkien 1 year ago
Having watched all the interviews that went along with the box releases of remasters a few years back the band admits that they couldn't have kept up with the long epics in the style that they had written early on. They still wrote some longer songs, but the style had to change.
Gabriel's stuff changed too, didn't it? He even had his contrived stuff (Sledgehammer knock off Steam ring any bells?). ALL of the prog bands changed over time. Asia certainly wasn't "classic" stuff.
toolkien 1 year ago
So if people are hurting for the classic stuff, put ON the classic stuff. Or buy some Flower Kings and stop pouring tears out over what Phil "did to the band". I'd much rather have a I Don't Care Anymore or Sussudio than a pathetic Super's Ready Part II put out circa 1984. Everything has a place and time. Go with it. Take it for what it is. I certainly do. I don't interchange anything from Selling England By The Pound with Hello, I Must Be Going, but I don't with Security or So either.
toolkien 1 year ago
ALL the output by the band, together and separately, was different over time. Admittedly Gabriel's stuff remained the most proggy, but prog itself changed and Gabriel went with it.
Again, as far as interchanging, I don't interchange Crimson King era with King Crimson with Discipline either. It's all different. So just like I want one or ther other, sometimes I want to listen to Man on the Corner instead of The Knife.
And not to be militant about it, no I rarely put on Anything She Does.

Genesis made great music without Gabriel or Hackett, but the real GENESIS is the original band. One thing: Hackett went on to show astounding abilities not present in Genesis and so did Gabriel.
So, the thing is, take it as it comes. This was a GREAT nand and the players went on to many great things, not counting Collins hoary sell out flip to HITS .

It was my secret little obsession, thinking no one would understand my attraction to this bizarre band. My younger bro also fell in , as we listened in mono single speaker. One night, as I fell asleep on couch, he woke me to announce they were on the Midnight special. I stayed awake for the first verse or a bit more. Wow, better drummer and sci-fi. Hooked ever after.
