Genesis - Mike Douglas Show [1977] rare

[roadkillmtz89]

This may have gone out live to a studio audience on the show,but TV viewers got the original recordings,and those 2 songs were indeed from the album,as I have listened to it more times than I can count.Bought the album in '76 when it came out,bought the 8 track to listen to in my car,then on cassette,CD,and now I have it on my MP3 player.I still listen to it from time to time.Great record,great band!

[peteyguitarguy]

lol, this isn't live, def lip syncing, you can here Phil's background vocals!

[mrwplay1]

Fantastic to see the guys play these songs. Pity they aren't live both nevertheless really rare footage. Thanks for posting it

[michito46]

Muy lindo, lastima que es un play back

[lindacholita]

There is NO WAY this is live......Anyway, Wind And Wuthering is one of my favorite albums EVER........And props go to Mike Douglas for having so many great guests on that show. I would love to own a DVD boxed set

[gmuny2010]

I was in the Navy then, probably why I missed it! Used 2 watch Mike Douglas every day after school though when I was growing up. Nice find AlternativoPT451 !

[myg0tBUTTPLUG]

this has a studio recording dubbed in on the MD show. Back ground vocals and high end keys. Was cool to see this though...very cool.

[drj602]

Holy Crap

[sanzip]

Phil Is Special <3 He Is the Best !! No One Can Fill His Space ! The Guys are Mint As Always <3

[misterkeyboard]

You can buy this. It's the extra DVD on the remastered edition of Wind & Wuthering. I have it myself. It's SO good!

[popomatic1970]

Oh how I adore Phil and the boys from this era.. :) this is a great find!!

[unamacarana]

Tony Banks playing a Fender Rhodes?! Priceless!!!!

[MoveOverCasanova]

not one of genesis´ best songs...

[drj602]

@MoveOverCasanova Leave the music alone please.

[MoveOverCasanova]

@drj602 you are adressing someone who deepestly admires genesis

[bnap21]

OK guys, being a Genesis fan since "only" 1982, I've come to enjoy all their eras. The fact that Genesis fans can actually fight about which era is the best, then subsequently cuss each other out is totally beyond me. The band has a legacy that few can boast of. That should be enough to prove that we can all be right! They just plain ROCK! Whether you're enjoying "In The Wilderness", "Whodunnit" or "Small Talk", Genesis always had something for everyone.

[excelerater]

lipsynching Gmen.,....a first for me.,....love it anyways

[sirReginaldFartsalot]

@excelerater I was thinking the same thing. Sounds suspiciously like the album lyrics and I should know, I've listened to the albums literally thousands of times over my life.

[SuperJohnnyO]

'Afterglow' ALWAYS sounds good! Great song!!!!!

[iAmPesukone]

@iade38 It's spelled era, not area. It's not even pronounced similarly.

[stvcobbs]

Hmmm, Mike Douglas Show. I wonder if they will play the popular songs that were getting airplay. Maybe I would be a moron to think otherwise.

I think I'll post a troll and see if I can get some negative responses to feed my ego.

Other than that GREAT POST! Thank you for the fantastic memory from my youth.

[iade38]

@iade38

collins ans ritherfors refused Hackett' s please don't touch to put thsi 2 poor commercial pop songs !!!!!! what a shame ! wind and wuthering could be even greater without that !

[iAmPesukone]

@iade38 Btw, I'm not gonna take you seriously as a Genesis fan until you spend a little more time and effort on your grammar. You, Sir, disgrace a perfectly great video with your bad language.

[iade38]

@xshellylynnx88

not, it's only my opinion! collins and rutherford refused hackett's please don't touch to put this 2 poor pop commercial songs on the album. Wind and wuthering is great but it's the beginning of of the end for progressive music

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

@iade38 "Wot Gorilla" was used as it was Banks/Collins' continuation of "Los Endos". Tony Banks was rejecting more Hackett tunes than Collins and Rutherford were as I think "Please Don't Touch" was too all over the where. Steve didn't put out anything worthwhile since Highly Strung in my view (the albums after Please Don't Touch were hit or miss). Hackett sold out when he did that album with Steve Howe called GTR.

[CrashMarket]

Way better than what Genesis done in the 80s.

[ksjoyjespeace]

This is on the CD/DVD Wind & Wuthering special edition,this(recording) obviously not from a digital source ; but what is that "backgound sound?...sounds like crickets in a waterline(not the good kind!) !

[angelkid79]

Kepp up the great work Phil. You have a great future in the decade of the 80s. Look for ya then when i'm about 19. You'll name an album after your band name and find yourselves in a huge following.

[kamwrites]

So they get to 6:30 and I'm waiting for the lights and fog.... ;)

[Mikemaniax]

Also, the last 5 seconds of the video, does it sound like Mike's house band was trying to play "Afterglow"?

[Mikemaniax]

Wow! Rare Tony Banks moment on a B3! I guess they just used loaned gear for this shoot.

[smigbabb]

to make a grown man cry is gift............

[smigbabb]

oh joy ......................

[moosethemoosinator]

Afterglow one of the worst "Hackett era" songs? - you have got to be JOKING! I take it you have never seen it played live? Goosebump city.

[IwanttoliveinParis]

Hackett looks like Jimmy Fallon...if Fallon grew his hair out.

[IwanttoliveinParis]

It's highly likely my grandmother watched this from her La-Z-Boy in Bakersfield.

[TheJimbarnes]

This is a lip sync.

[DcBlood229]

this is pure x

[AlternativoPT451]

@DcBlood229 Like your coment..

[MrBjanka]

@AlternativoPT451 am agreed with you

[cmcunt6987]

@AlternativoPT451 This song was about Peter Gabriel jerk off.

[iade38]

@AlternativoPT451

sorry . i'm a big fan of genesis 1970-1977 but in my opinion, Wind and Wuthering contains the roots of commercial way with thsi 2 "easy listening "songs. The rest of the album is fabulous

[chaote]

Awesome post, thanks for sharing it!

This was at least a year before my own Genesis obsession started. All thanks to my cousin who bought "And Then There Were Three..." because "Follow You Follow Me" was her & her boyfriend's "song". One day she went out and her brother and I raided her record collection. We put the needle down on side one and "Down and Out" completely blew my mind. I've been hooked ever since.

[maredugon]

incrivel !!! extraordinario!!! maravilhoso!!! magico!!!

[AlternativoPT451]

Hey guys, why are you saying this things?

Music it´s relative, and what the band did is the past, its done. So just enjoy the music.

[haroldt101]

What a quality performance. Great musicians,

[yzerkeon]

Hilarious ....the album cover shot at 4:17 looks like it has a hole punched in it -- the sign of a remaindered album.

[freshayree]

Well what a treat. I always loved both songs. They sounded excellent as they always did live. I remember being captured in their hands..safely landing afterwards in a state of bliss live . Never got tired of seeing them back then. A night of brilliance for $12.75. Bravo the 70's!

[firthoffifthtom]

tckerver@jonesday.com

[lastdaysguitar]

Nice - I've always love this song!

[firthoffifthtom]

Hey send me an email. if you would like a treat I have them Live in 1976 at Public Hall, Cleveland OH. It is a rare treat. Second night show.

[AlternativoPT451]

@firthoffifthtom What is your mail?

[firthoffifthtom]

@AlternativoPT451 My email is tckerver@jonesday.com. I will ship it to you free.

[wigginsdesign]

@firthoffifthtom I WAS THERE!!!!!!!! I went to college is Cleveland then. My gawd...Public Hall ..haha! haven't heard that in a while!

[dutrem]

@wigginsdesign I lived in cleveland too I recorded it on reel to reel but someone stold bothe my reel to reel and the music taped it from wmms i think love to have the recording cantsome one get in touch ith me du.trem@gmail.com thanks

[jmcloughlin21]

@JMarchOHare I'm 18 and have lived in Tulsa since I was 4, and Genesis is my favorite band ever! I wish that I would've been lucky enough to see them live, but since I probably won't be I bought 3 concert dvd's (Live at Wembley '86, We Can't Dance Tour '92, and When In Rome '07). Also I have nearly all their vinyls, maybe one day -hopefully soon- I will be able to say I saw the greatest band to ever come along!

[JMarchOHare]

This brings tears to my eyes. I was a senior in high school when this was made, and I'd been following Genesis since '74. Practically nobody except me and a few of my friends (all prog-oriented "DISCO SUCKS!" types) even knew who they were. I saw them that year in a small Tulsa opera house affectionately known as "The Old Lady on Brady," and I knew right then that if they didn't eventually become one of the biggest bands in history, there was no justice in this world.

Maybe there is.

[PalerShadeOfWhite]

I enjoyed this so much. Thanks more than I can express for putting this up. Although I didn't like the direction Collins-Genesis took after Wuthering and Three, any '70s Genesis is worth watching to a real fan. After all, Mike, Tony and Steve are still here at this time. It's not all about Phil.

[babablowfish]

Great song. Genesis remained a great band after Peter Gabriel left. Not better, not worse, just different and still great. Thanks for posting this.

[permaveg]

@babablowfish But it all ended when Hackett left, then they morphed into a trite pop band for example "Turn it on again" was chronically awful, less said about them after Steve left the better.

[75rmc75]

@permaveg it's called adapting and keeping your job...lol

[permaveg]

@75rmc75 A job is it, um, being creative isnt a job though is it? A visit from the muse isnt a career, its a gift, and Genesis lost that connection after Steve left. "Adapting" , more like run out of ideas i think.

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

@75rmc75 If Genesis continued the sounds of the 1970s into the 1980s they would have been forgotten and relegated to has been status like ELP, Yes and Jethro Tull. Pink Floyd, same deal. Rush also. Wind and Wuthering is my favorite four man Genesis album (all the songs are PERFECT). Duke is the best 3 man era album (Abacab and The Mama Album are also neck and neck).

[nat00ben06]

@tjrrockandrollmaster I so am into Genesis but do actually take about the music of bands that have so influenced culture is a degree....well all I can say is your smoking the wrong thing. Collins great in his own right made albums nothing as good as Gabriel. Your statement pissed me off!

[Johnnywr]

@tjrrockandrollmaster I don`t think YES stagnated in the 80s, what about Owner of a lonely heart and the 90125 album? Number one in the US in 1984. Might not have been a patch on their 70s stuff, but at least it kept the ship afloat. The thing about Genesis changing their musical style for the 80s; how many Genesis fans would want to see Gabriel return, at least for a tour? There`s progress for you.That happens to most of the "prog" bands; fans just want the old stuff

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

@Johnnywr Peter Gabriel won't return. To phrase Mr McMahon's entrance music there "No Chance in Hell" of Genesis reuniting, especially since Phil Collins retired from music this past year. Also Tony Banks said "Genesis is over". Phil said the same to Billboard. All we're left with is Genesis cover bands like The Musical Box who could be a great band of their own but don't know where 1970-75 Genesis ends and they begin.

[permaveg]

@Johnnywr I know many olden's who saw Genesis in the 70s that would love to see a reunion if only for one tour,me included. The old material was the best, no doubt what so ever, i mean compare "watcher of the skies" to "Turn it on again", enough said i think ! A lot of Hackett's newer material is still very much like Genesis of old i think. Old stuff was the best indeed.

[permaveg]

@tjrrockandrollmaster Rush has beens? You know not of what you say, "Power Windows" "Grace under pressure" and other later ones are Rush's finest works, same with Tull who have been consistant in high quality music since the 70s. Most old Genesis fans regard ( and rightly so) the Gabriel years as there finest, "wuthering" and "Trick of the tail" included, you speak blasphemy .

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

@permaveg Perm-a-wig, shut up! You misread my comment. I'm saying if Rush continued doing the epic songs (ala ELP and Yes) then they would've not made it big. Peter Gabriel has sucked since 1986. I also believe that you hate Pink Floyd without Roger Waters. I think David Gilmour and Nick Mason SAVED the band (and also reinstated Rick Wright after Roger threw him out (BIG MISTAKE)). What's better, The Division Bell or Amused to Death, The Division Bell by a LANDSLIDE. NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP!

[permaveg]

@tjrrockandrollmaster Why the abuse? what are you on ? Try and be more concise. Why the rant about Pink Floyd ? I dont even like Floyd or your rant about who's best i don't give a fig o.k. so your belief i care for Walters etc is pointless, and i was talking about Gabriel with Genesis not solo work, jeez your weird, as for ELP and Yes, i find them boring , ok clearer now? doubt it. Try thinking before mouthing off.

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

@permaveg You not liking Pink Floyd and post-Hackett Genesis shows you have no music taste whatsoever. I looked at your page and you are nothing but a heartless, dickless, treehugging douchebag, You started this war by misinterpreting my comment on why Genesis changed and also Pink Floyd and Rush. If they stuck with the 1970s mentality they'd be forgotten. Jethro Tull was hit or miss since 1982 with their albums. NOW FUCK OFF HIPPIE!

[permaveg]

@tjrrockandrollmaster No it shows i have different tastes than you, which you can't understand due to your narrow mindedness, "started this war"? you are a sad liitle man. "heartless, treehugging douchebag" am i, you hate drugs and alcohol then why listen to groups whose music was often created by their use of drugs, you are a narrow minded bigot , i wont go to your base level and swear, you are amazingly sad and pathetic and know little about progressive rock.

[permaveg]

@tjrrockandrollmaster I was listening to Genesis three years before you were even born, and your dictating to me that my own personal opinions are wrong, how patronizing can you be ? "Hippie" ha ha ha! rant on , so why do you listen to so much music inspired and influenced by mind altering substances? You must be on something , amphetamine maybe? "Heartless"? Wheres your compassion man? God your a sad joke.

[wildj611]

@tjrrockandrollmaster What's your favorite Gabriel-era album?

[tjrrockandrollmaster]

@wildj611 Probably The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway followed by Selling England By the Pound then Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Trespass and From Genesis to Revelation last.

[HackettSociety]

Where's Mike? Oh, There he is. He's hidden behind the very few shots of Steve.

[janmadytay]

@kirklott Just wait'n for those necitive votes are ya?

[kirklott]

Dreadful song...why not play something awesome, like Eleventh Earl of Mar or Afterglow?

[TheSpoonwood]

@kirklott

I believe this was their first billboard hit....

[prosoloist]

@kirklott guess what? They DO play Afterglow. Watch the 2nd half of the video. Not that these are the actual audio clips of the show....



[DANFORTHPAPE1]

@kirklott They do play Afterglow, starts at 4:17

[wolfgange63]

The Duke album was a work of art !

[linodoc]

What archeological discovery! Thanks!!!!

[midlocal]

loved the way they just stuck a radio antenna on the end of a mic and it was supposed to be a wireless'''''opps I had to make one of those back in the day

[drumulater]

Oh No! Phil, in bad video as well. I like his drumming only.

But I'm glad and happy that you submitted this, I'm a big fan of Chester Tompson.

[carvcom1]

Great find! I didn't know they did the Mike Douglas show.

[lennygiardino]

Phil is a classic not realizing the song started. Haters will surely love this post. Give him a break!!!

[adnseb1234]

Thanks so much for posting. I would not have been able to appreciate this when this show aired.  Thankfully I was turned on to old Genesis in college and this brings back some memories.

[tbscrazy12]

Brilliant. Thank you from Florida! 23 years old and loving it.

[slaphead99uk]

Genesis- 40 years of awesomeness- thanks!

[Redliner500]

awesome thx for posting

[aihoschema]

Hahaha, Tony Banks on a Hammond B3. Chester on a single kick-drum kit.... Well at least they had some (not on the drum kit though) microphones (Shure SM57) to help the "fake-live" and lip syncing make a little more convincing. 

[amaxamon]

Aw, Phil looks so sincere ;)

[Maiodidi]

Great song, reminds me of some girls I had !

[kamwrites]

Stunned...omg...thank you for this!!!!!

[EricJ1975]

Thank you so much for uploading this!!!



[19nywf39]

Poor Chester--On Afterglow he doesn't look too happy that he has to deal with the album version and lip syncing- but thats the way all the shows were back then

[kamwrites]

@19nywf39 What funny is, Phil actually missed the first verse of "Your Own Special Way." He's standing away from the mike, then goes up to it like, "....oh crap...". Guess he wasn't used to the lip-synching thing. Just as well.

[19nywf39]

@kamwrites Skipped the whole first stanza-was probably cut cuz too long for TV. Plus the whole middle part of the album version of the song is missing. Must be the single, which I've never heard and probably wouldn't care for anyway. 

[kamwrites]

@19nywf39 Probably was too long since they performed two songs. Been a while since I've heard the original.
