Genesis - Fly On A Windshield (Live)

[adamtzsch]

Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand...

[paulwormtail]

Why didn't they sing?

[MetalRob67]

Steve Hackett!!!  Bill Bruford!!!

[TsieHouang]

spine chill, 2 minutes long.

[zappadead13]

FLAWLESS !!! hook line n sinker

[ayews]

@BVERRIER the lamb studio album was of poor sound quality, this however is EPIC!!

[genesis1975]

Jesus Christ. Bands these days dream of playing half that well...

[oencina]

is this on collins or gabriels era??

[jbyoung100]

@oencina it's the "trick of the tail" tour. this is the very beginning of the phil collins era.

[Akron162]

who is the other guy in the percussion?

[cosmicrider287]

@Akron162 thats mr bill bruford drummer extraordinaire.

[TheRaivan354]

I was SO lucky to have seen Genesis live, almost from the beginning, when Genesis came to Los Angeles for the Selling England By The Pound tour. Then came The Lamb tour, Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, and so many more. Every performance was fantastic, no matter which venue they played, large or small, indoors or out. Such brilliant, inspired songwriting and musicianship.

[katrngs]

@TheRaivan354 Me too OMG  I feel so priveleged and lucky.....This is one of the few bands I would travel to see if they ever did a reunion show with the original members....Peter included......I really have never seen any other shows that could compare to those early years.....:)

[davidvollmar]

Plain & simple trippy rock n' roll!!! Too cool for the scene at the time...They deserve to be heard by all...

[shackle5]

brilliant

[cjmesc1978]

thanks guys of the world, without you could not see much delicacy of genesis. I bornn for heard genesis.

[doutorfred]

Man, Collins & Bruford on drums...simply amazing!

[MrBuira]

Me atrevería a decir que en esa época estos cabrones eran mas chingones que Pink Floyd y eso ya es decir mucho!

[kidneystoner88]

imagine seeing these guys live - too bad i was born way after the gabriel-hackett hay day

[Topographer]

Phil Collins - best rock drummer ever.

[TheInternetTroll100]

1 person made Chuck Norris unhappy

[BitterBosh]

@BVERRIER Well, to be fair, they do have Bruford helping them out. :)

[rdety]

It's a shame Phil can no longer play because of his spine.

he is truely one of the greatest drummers of all time..

[apaysys]

phil collins should have stayed a drummer

[zwelgjebast]

@apaysys: he did..

[not3bad13]

Where's the first part of the song?

[readinguni99]

@not3bad13 Which bit? Broadway Melody of 1974 was the next track if that's what you were thinking of, they didn't play it because it had vocals

[mfnickster]

@readinguni99 "Something solid forming in the air...and the wall of death is lowered in Times Square. No one seems to care; they carry on as if nothing were there." Etc.

[btom22259]

@mfnickster

I hope you are sure

[expobill]

nice addition on percussion by bobby orr!

[kirkfanbigtime]

And I'm hovering like a fly..... waiting for the windshield on the freeway!

What's not to like about those lyrics?

Love this song!

[heymilhere]

Could watch Phil drum all day...

[zwelgjebast]

To me, the best version I've ever heard. Such a shame Pete isn't there anymore to sing the vocals. But I can still hear his echo's of the Broadway Everglades...

[faraaway]

AWESOMEEEE!!!

[cinemawacht1]

my god. Steve plays so beautiful. Pure magic!

[TheUtubesuxass]

Fucking awesome!!!!

[kc979087]

0:44, what's that digital clock behind Hackett?

[SHAKEDOWN72]

....anyone out there live near the Runcorn area? Moonlit Nite play their first gig on saturday 13th march at The Norton Arms. Show starts 21:30. Be there!!

[FoxtronInk]

Steve Hackett is the most talented progressive guitarrist in this f(*&^*& world. Period

[BigBadBobby1234]

Finally they're inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame. FUSE Channel on March 15th 2010 LIVE from the Waldorf Astoria in NYC- DON'T MISS IT -- GENESIS LIVES FOREVER !!

[IluvOhio]

0:26, Collins - greatest drummer ever, better than Bonham

[DarthKazi]

Bruford is no slouch himself.

BTW, music is not a competition.

[MrGator57]

@DarthKazi

Collins is good but Bruford is the highest tier of drummers. No one better

[DarthKazi]

@MrGator57 Music is not a competition. Both men are friends and respect each other and both have unique talents to offer the music they play.

I'm sick of Musician A is better than Musician B nonsense. It's just YouTube losers pissing their names in the snow...

[stonelenny]

@DarthKazi I'm TOTTALY agree!!

[Dannymusic1999]

Led Zeppelin is where I started before I became aware of Progressive Rock. After that it was my life. I forgot about the silliness of those drunken drug taking bands.

[pinkfloydrule27]

@IluvOhio bonham is an over-elevated rock n roll legend, if you want proper drummers look no further than prog rock, carl palmer bill bruford phil collins alan white

[Proglove85]

@pinkfloydrule27 You can't have a list like that, and not include Nick Mason, Michael Giles, Gavin Harrison, Guy Evans, Neil Peart or Barriemore Barlow ;-) Prog drummers tend to push the envelope, and are thus far more exiting than all their romp-a-stomp hard rock colleagues.

[pinkfloydrule27]

@Proglove85 Michael Giles is definitely underrated as is Nick Mason (although not so much anymore) and obviously Neil Peart is just a power house

[genesis1975]

God that rocks so hard. Hackett adds a 'Dr.Who' guitar on this that lifted the song to new heights. Collins was at the very peak of his drumming powers.

Echoes of the Broadway Everglades...

[mrkkerekes]

rockin song.  smokin winston cigarettes...

[bigwo56]

DAMN shame that Phil wont be gracing us with his drumming skills anymore due to his back problems.... They are and will always be god's of music tho....

[prog4evr]

Really, hadn't heard - wow. Well, gettin' old is a bitch. I oughta know - just turned 50 this year...

[JackBlair2]

Collins is way better than Bruford.

[Gerhardium]

Maybe playing the Genesis stuff Bruford learned in a few weeks, but I find the drumming from this tour to be far more interesting than anything prior to it because Bruford added a fresh sound.

[idealtypical]

I agree. Bruford is immensely talented, but honestly, at this point Collins's drumming had well surpassed Bruford's. Collins's drumming was so damn musical....

[Dannymusic1999]

I love Bruford and Collins! They are so... different, no need to compare.

[alcalaed]

@JackBlair2 I know Phil's catchy but please think again...

[jackiejayetv]

Aw Steve Hackett,bless!

[ayews]

wish i could have been there but alas i was only 9 and hadn't heard of them :(

[70genesis]

LEGENDAIRE...the best

[megamarillion1]

***schön***9731

[bobgrantsbus]

Quality music from a collection of gifted musicians.

[FilmyResidue]

My god look how old those keyboards are! I just saw an old Moog in a museum.

[klwewf]

What?

[alcalaed]

wft?

[craymorr2003]

just amazing.....this is the Genesis I wish would tour.....pure genius....

[6I6Cum6Blood]

god*

[6I6Cum6Blood]

Steve Hackett is just a fucking good

[tata4noww]

Message to Bill Bruford: MORE COWBELL !

[PeterMayer]

Lamb Stew! The Musical Box did a very good job on this in Milwaukee when we saw them.

[BigBadBobby1234]

Just saw them tonight in NYC at the Nokia theatre....WHAT A FABULOUS SHOW !!!! THE MUSICAL BOX ROCKS !!!!

[whitebanner]

Steve plays and looks like an angel,so does Tony!Can you believe that these men are actually human?They seem like they are not of this planet..

[These4walls05]

@whitebanner

Yes, I can beleive it :)

[clyde8her]

Bill Bruford on percussion....Hackett rules...

[elektrykbestia]

Mmmm...genesis!!! Come visit us for some experimental music...we are obsessed with genesis althought we don't exactly sound like them too much..ha ha..long live genesis!

[aihoschema]

Nothing like 70s Genesis. They really discovered the magic formula - IMHO from about 1973 through 1977. The Lamb was such an awesome album that even the technically horrible double LP's, complete with over-compression, bad quality vinyl and 60Hz hum, from that time didn't any harm to the music. I have yet to see a prog rock act that can touch Genesis. I think nothing ever will. The best.

[ModemTalking]

The Lamb was also Peter's favorite album, I think. It's absolutely great, maybe like Selling England. I do not want to argue with a Genesis (Peter/Steve) fan: I am a big one as well. But please listen to Yes. For me, nothing compares to Jon Anderson and Awaken is the best Rock song ever. However, Yes and Genesis: I think, that's it. There is some distance even to the great Pink Floyd and then Marillion (Fish). This is what I call music.

[analogpro7]

Love this song! I did a cover of this song a long while back. Truly enjoyable to play. I'm sure musicians may understand this =]

The Lamb has always been my favorite album. As for production, can't complain too much given what they were dealing with at the time. Something about music in chaos.. =] Somehow, they pushed out their best album. Wish they still did music like this.

[bigwo56]

have you posted it? I would really like to see another group that could do this stuff!!

[analogpro7]

Unfortunately i do not have any video of past performances. Maybe, if i ever play in the future, i'll be sure to have someone film it. Genesis songs are a lot of fun because it takes a good amount of effort, at least for me, to get it right. It doesn't get boring to play. =]

[Discdalmau]

Echos in the broadway everglades...

[3orchidsrising]

Haunting only the way Genesis can.

[donapepaaa]

there's a story behind this album... the lamb lies down on broadway....

the stoy of Rael, and imaginary character....

the last song of the album is "IT"... and like peter gabriel wanted, you can judge however you want his story.....amazing artist

[tlimo516]

Beyond awesome.

[cthomann]

Great!!

[thewish4]

thus genesis...in the begining.....

[roddyboy70]

I guess I should rephrase that; There were some adventurous moments in Genesis music after hackett`s departure, but they were few and far between..

[roddyboy70]

This piece works well out of context without Gabriel`s lyrics. You cant beat the old guard when it comes to progressive music. This is so surreal and unique. Once they lost Hackett, genesis lost that edginess and sense of adventure they once had

[PhilosopherEight]

This song is ten times better w/o lyrics. The whole atmosphere is ruined by the overly-wordy, over-loud vocals on the album.

[seenherdressedinblue]

I'd have to disagree partially. You are right that the vocals are badly mixed on the album. On in all, the production is at time sloppy and often tinny sounding, but if you've heard any bootlegs, or seen any of the better cover bands perform this well, the lyrics add a great dimension.

[Nero3335]

Just waiting for "Echoes of the Broadway Everglades"... :) getting a tear in my eye.

[Topographer]

I agree. This a fantastic number, but it gets even cooler when thevocals come in ...

[theaxemeister]

One of the best things about *this* Phil Collins is that he seems to get bored playing the same beat and would just mix it up, but the amazing thing was he was back in beat anytime he wanted to be.

[krome50]

Phil Collins is one of the very few drummers I have heard who actually « plays » the drums as an instrument... and does that very creatively I must add. He does simply provides the beat for the musicians, like so many other drummers do.

[krome50]

does not simply.....  sorry for the mistyping

[Topographer]

Well, the 2 best drummers in the world on stage together. Bruford & Collins. Magnificent!

[seenherdressedinblue]

I couldn't agree with you more.

[5jerry1]

@krome50

He's one of the few who play drums like a melodic instrument instead of a backbeat.  And funny, Ringo Starr did as well; completely different technique altogether, but it shows, different levels of chops can have an equally desired effect. Not comparing the Beatles to Genesis (can't do that, apples and oranges), just making a point; EVERY member of Genesis played their own part of the arrangement and the sum was FAR greater than its parts, nothing to sneeze at, considering.

[hamwinkie]

Echoes of the old days! Even then, 1976, they could not repeat what I heard in 74. Sad but true. There will never be a reuinion of the 5 that made them famous.

[themi90]

the second guy is Bill Bruford

[johncorsino]

fyi.....the original reunion tour was intended to do"the lamb" with peter,there was a few meetings on it but regretfully didnt come to pass. THAT would have been Nostalgia at its best!

[helmuthb]

A thousand Gabriels and Hacketts in top form, can not not turn the bunch who toured as Genesis earlier this year into anything other than nostalgia. Art it can never be. For that I am certain, after watching the 2007 cuts on YouTube. Stiff, cold and boring.

[krome50]

I saw the « new Genesis » (Collins, Banks, Rutherford) on television at the 2007 MTV Awards and they were so boring. I was so disappointed because that they were doing was so commercial and so far away from the magnificient Genesis work in their early years.

[masternate61]

whos the 2nd guy on drums

[mickey245]

genesis better than sex

[skybluelucy]

Yeah it is!!!!

[schlubinette]

Wow ... this is music !!

[PeterMayer]

I have this Bootleg album of this tour.

[stephenmathes]

Powerful! Love to see Rutherford and Hackett so into it...and I always thought Bruford added a lot..god I miss this type of music...hope the new tour in America brings the goods and not the candy coated stuff...

[JBianchi52]

Totally agee I miss this music, compared to the crap on the radio today,

[djbladdered]

Zimmog

[djbladdered]

I love this Seconds Out era stuff I have never seen them play before, i am well aware Thompson does drum duties from 77 onwards, however. In Armando Gallos Book 'I KNOW WHAT I LIKE' the Bruford tour is hardly touched upon and there is one comment by Collins about how it didnt gel? Bruford of course is great, this stuff is great, and Thompson is great! This is long winded crap from a drummers view - Bruford/Collins is different from Thompson/Collins. Former - on the beat. Latter - off beat.

[gthomas27]

One of the best Genesis songs ever, and Collins is one of the best drummers ever! Can't wait to see them in the fall and lets hope Gabriel is back the next time around.

[PaulHartXYZ]

Hackett rules.

This is the 1976 TRICK OF A TALE tour.

I know because Bill Buford played with Genesis on that tour.

[puroresu2]

God this song gets me every time. Btw does anyone notice the almost exact similarity between the end of this song and the theme of Tool's "Sober"? It's probably a coincidence but a cool thing to think about nonetheless~

[ceazea]

I do not think it is that much of a coincidence. You cannot tell me Tool is not influenced bu the era of genesis (Gabriel stuff). If you have ever see them live you will see what I mean. I think Tool live, though a little more aggressive music, is right in line to be somewhat of this generations Genesis. Some may think that is crazy of me to say but Go see them live and you will be blown away. Though Genesis is the best.

[PhilosopherEight]

Tool vocal style obviously influenced by early genesis. Overall presentation a bit more like Rush, but still there are some similarities to Gabriel-era genesis.

[seenherdressedinblue]

Musically, I always found that Tool was closer to King Crimson than to Genesis. Especially the Gamelan rhythms.

[Comagee]

Ceazea...Thanks for the Tool reference. I was totally unaware of their music and have often times wished for a band that might have the same magnetic attraction as Genesis has on all of us.

[bedroommuse]

I just realized how Porcupine Tree conjures Fly on a Windshield during the ending riffage on "Even Less"!
