Genesis - 12-6-81 - Like It Or Not - Toronto - Maple Leaf Gardens

[Neverlookthisway]

Great performance, great groove, great song which is very well sung!. Nice guitar bit at the end - could have gone on for longer!

[SilentKnight43]

Found this after realizing it was 30 years ago this week that I was there at Maple Leaf Gardens for this (Abacab tour) show. Still have the ticket stub ($12.50 tax included, lol).

[RadDudeski69]

Once again, like I said last year, this gem is fantastic. Only one thing that I'd like to add: I am sure the actual date is the second night in Toronto, December 7, as it doesn't appear on the full-concert bootleg from the night before. Also, you can hear Phil here mentioning 'tomorrow night for the people in Buffalo' and the next show was indeed Dec.8 in Buffalo, NY. Only wanted to share that, I hope you appreciate.

You can not put into words how much i love Genesis

[twostikks1]

Great find, for sure! Interesting, how they modulate down a whole-step at the end of the song ... I guess Phil wanted to make sure he could hit those high notes at the end ...

[rennyminou]

Good ol' Torontonians-they won't get up and dance, just like at Bruce's shows there.

Lighten up, people! Shake the cobwebs out!

[GLICKTON]

excellent!

[BaDeeRich]

I love it ! its very sad that these days are gone forever :(

[clubhouseme]

Love these camara angles that aren't jumping all over the place, lets you know what it was really like to be there.

[jaxmikey59]

THE best band of all!! Sorry Yes, ELP, LedZep lol

[stomczyk3]

You did because you could.

[WintersWar]

this brings a tear to my eye, ty so much. you genesis fans understand what a find like this means.

[sharethemusic]

find the whole show..your torturing us

[captaincomputa]

Beautiful song

[yesshows100]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of the best finds ever. MrProgressiveman, you deserve a metal for finding and posting this.

[yesshows100]

AWSOME!!!!! FANTASTIC, A MIRACLE FIND!!!! THANKS MRPROGRESSIVEMAN!!!!

[GLICKTON]

ive uploaded a few live versions of this song but the quality on this sounds a bit better, cheers for the upload :)

[MiKriya]

This is another of my favorites. So Like it or not, I love this song.

[ceazea]

Aghh, dropped the key at the end. Studio version is crazy hard on the voice. Never knew they ever played this live. Very cool!!! THANKS

[ceazea]

Never have ever heard this live before!!!! Who knew ? Why this was not a hit single is beyond me. THANK YOU!!!

[savuka818]

Wow, I saw them perform this two weeks earlier in Hartford, and had no idea at the time I was checking out one of the rarest of live tracks. Thanks for posting, beautiful, underrated, and apparently quite hard on Phil's voice.

[RadDudeski69]

What can I say that hasn't already been said before, MrProgressiveman... Stuff of a legend! Never dreamed I could see this one, it's one of my faves from Abacab and unfortunately one of the most obscure and rarely played. THANK YOU!!!

[entangled1]

thanks for this gem!

[tharrison202]

mate, thanks so much for posting this!! Fantastic!

[wulvireen]

awesome, thanks!

[t3hpez]

thanks very much for taking the time to get this up here!

[chinwildchicken]

now its one month ago that such a good video found on youtube.

Thanks ProgressiveMan, hope you will find more of this, or a better quality of Like it or not.

The most underrated Song of Genesis I mean :)

[Pesionde]

Excellent! Rare and impressive. I love so much this "dramatic" song which make me go back to my school!

[sheffandy]

Cool find, thanks for posting!!!!!!!!!

[andykelly]

Brilliant ,Love It .

[MrProgressiveman]

Thank you all for all the great comments!! So glad you love this as much as we do!!

Unfortunately, all we can seem to find is the ONE SONG!! So, the search is on, team! They can't have filmed just the one song, whoever filmed this! Wouldn't you think they might've filmed the WHOLE SHOW??? With this kind of fantastic quality???  (One can only hope!)

[SilentKnight43]

@MrProgressiveman Thank you for uploading this! Even if its only one song - brings back great memories of being there that night so long ago. 30 years this week! I still remember Collins reading from a giant book - something about "big tits", lol.

[Danlaw83]

I LOVE this song, one of my favorites off the album. I can't believe this has been found

[Fygee]

Fantastic upload! Thanks a ton!

[aquiel]

Riduculously rare!!! fantastic!!!!

[MrProgressiveman]

Not sure if there is any more from this concert; I will check my secret sources...

[MrMark2013]

Thanks!

[sober8]

Thanks for sharing. I still have my ticket stub from Dec 6 1981. It's so long ago I can't remember how many dates they played then.

[richierich67587]

very nice video, thanks. Do you any more footage from the same concert mr progressiveman?

[bastidiaz]

I like!

[MrProgressiveman]

You're very welcome! Glad you like it!!! :o)

[killex73]
