  • This is my favourite Ant Phillips composition - could listen to it all day every day ! Sublime

  • If you listen carefully to Ant´s songs, you may find many of the Genesis songs soon to come in his early compositions, for example Musical Box, or sections of Supper´s Ready. Since he left I band i missed this clear, liquid sound he plays so munificent.

  • Comment removed

  • Beautiful....

  • Beautiful Music...

  • Very beautiful song. I also like the song by Anthony called "Magdalene". It's really nice too.

  • ~ ~ ~ Welcome in the World of Enchanted and Spooky Music ~ ~ ~

  • There's no doubt most of Ant's music has a soft spirituality that we're all fortunate in in this life to enjoy. Especially with those we love.

  • Anthony Phillips: a man condemned to make interesting music that only a lucky few ever hear.

  • Only The Beatles ever had so many gifted musicians in a single band. Amazing! Anthony is a really good lyricist as well.

  • @BevelBob You kid know nothing about music... I suggest u keep listening to backstreet boys

  • @amaxamon

    The Beatles! lol... look at led zeppelin, hendrix, queen etc etc etc

  • i think some of genesis' best classic songs have that anthony phillips influence. listen to cinema show, for absent friends, more fool me, etc.

  • "Lights On The Hill" has always been one of my faves of Ant's, but this is the first time I've seen him play it. I never thought he'd be playing that far up the fretboard - also, he plays 12-string in a "classical guitar" position (footstool, etc.). Wonderful piece.

  • Tears to my eyes, 12 strings don't come better than this. Beautiful synth line too.

  • Everybody loves Anthony!

  • I guess he's far from poor (& maybe his family was/is quite well off), but from reading interviews seems he mostly works as a 'hired gun'...much of his musical output is of the 'made to order' type, or 'library music'. Seems it's something he does out of necessity rather than choice. (When your fingers do the walking some people will look on & conclude you've not in fact gone anywhere. ;-)

    I know what you mean though... having seen pics of his home studio I wish I had some of his work tools

  • So you're saying Ant phillips never had to work? what do you know about that?

  • He took my breath away with this piece of music.

  • Ant has a tremendous amount of material to sort thru....but if you're a fan of astonishingly beautiful 12 string music I'd highly recommend Private Parts & Pieces V:Twelve....It's all 12 string and it's all mesmerizing....got mine from iTunes

  • Beautiful music

  • His 12-string playing is amazing. I would KILL to sound half this good.

  • Does anyone know what tuning Ant is using on this?

    This is absolutely beautiful. I've been a Genesis fan since the beginning and always respected Ant's contributions....sadly, I've overlooked his solo material. Being an avid 12 string guitarist, and seeing this video, will cause me to search for and buy everything I can of Ant's. Thanks for posting this clip.

  • Nice 12-string guitar work. -Derek

  • ant may be the best composer in genesis(i think tony might agree), ant is very rich in ideas . many of his solo songs can easily become great genesis songs,(have you heard the musical box in its raw origin , i mean it is a piece that ant plays on his guitar like any of his other great compositions.i adore steve hackett, but after 20 years i realize the uniqueness of ant, and the importance of his friend mike rutherford.

  • @amirhamra Ant is an extraordinarily gifted musician whose timeless compositions have become part of the fabric of my being. Like yourself, I am ever more realising the huge importance Ant had with Genesis. I'd go as far as saying that without Ant, there would never have been the Genesis that we came to know. A seemingly beautiful man also, we have to thank Ant for introducing us all to such wonderful music.

  • Hackett was never anywhere near as good a songwriter as Phillips, listen to Ant's solo Albums for proof of this and also the Genesis Archive box set, they are both similar as guitar players, but I don't thihk that Genisis would have made it if he stayed in the band, that said if he had rejoined when when Hackett left that would have been incredible,

  • Wonderful guitarist.. and also it looks like the man who discovered the fountain of youth-he looks exactly like he did in the 1970's!

    I always thought it would have been cool if Ant had re-joined Genesis after Steve Hackett left- he could have filled out the sound so well, and steered them into more of a balance between the lush instrumental stuff and the pop stuff. Oh, well...

  • genious

  • This most beautiful....almost brings tears

  • No tengo nada en contra de anthony phillips, pero de no haberse ido de gensesis por su pànico escènico, el mundo se hubiera privado de un grande: Steve Hackett... y genesis jamàs hubuiera sido el mismo. Anthony, sos un muy buen guitarrista pero gracias por haber dejado una de las bandas màs gloriosas de la historia del rock.

  • Cazenave gracias por hacer que Anthony Phillips vuelva a tocar live! sos un genio igual que él,gracias a los 2

  • extremely sensitive guy , his music is full of nostalgic sorrow.another great genesis guy.

  • This man is an alien

    No one in the world is capable to write songs this way

    And look at the technique !!

    Incredible

  • Indeed that's the one on my shelf as well and I would never sell it to naybody.

  • My favourite Ant track too. Loved the album graphics for Private Parts and Pieces I where this came from.

  • Nope. This particular tune is on Private Parts and Pieces IV - A Catch At The Tables.

    I have so many fav Ant tunes that there's no way I can pinpoint just one tune. Just about ALL of the 12 and 6 string tracks are spectacular!

  • One of my very fav Ant tracks. He is far too underrated as a musician. Simply amazing!

  • yo creo que los padres del prog son Keith Emerson,The Beatles 66-67 y Syd Barrett. Anthony Phillips es un maestro y Cazenave es otro maestro, sino no hubieran hecho juntos lo que hicieron

  • Holy S#*T.......Ant is the father of PROG !!!

  • The greatest 12 string genius. This is why Trespass was tops.

  • It really bothers me that nobody includes Ant or mentions him as being part of a Genesis reunion. I would like to see Gabriel, Collins, Rutherford, Banks, Hackett, and Philips on a stage or in the studio recording new material together. I wonder what that would sound like this day and age?

  • How talented!

  • The Father of Genesis. That's the sound...

  • Muy bueno, suena celestial.

  • What a GEM to find this on the net....where is the offical version
