alright, it may have not been his best performance, BUT, you can not talk sh*t about his performance unless you were the one performing. its trey, come on guys. he's not just a stoner, he's a very talented musician. just try and write something like You Enjoy Myself or Stash.
ugh.. his timing is all off.. sorry bud.. I kept an open mind but the musicians are awesome.. but it's not a good song for Trey. Sounds like you were having fun though. lol
I think this is hilarious; here you have a great band, performed by a talented prog band who couldn't perform two golden Genesis songs, and a cougher making sense of it all.
i think phish did awesome covers of genesis, dont know what some of you are talkin bout.. and they may not be the best of singers, i dont think so, but at least they put feeling into the music, thats what matters most hahaha
@Oica67 go back to the eighties......we don't need your opinion. if you knew anythig about Phish you would know that in concert the song would be over and Trey and co. would embarass Genesis.
@jasonflood29 seriously; it's your video. the rest of you whiners go watch it somewhere else then. My god we have a nation of whiny pussy "I AM SPECIAL"! people. shut up already; it's his video! Let it be. thanks for the post.
Unlike these "pay respect" and "phans" I have it on my DVR and can watch at my own house. don't listen to these DB"s
thanks for posting dude. if people watched this...they should avoid bitching about what you were doing when you recorded it.And why is it that everyone thinks they have a right to claim Phish as" their" band? Phish has great phans and a bunch of doucebags who like to bitch at people because they have been to more shows or sold more shit on tour. BFD
Is Trey Anastasio supposed to be a good singer? From a technical standpoint, they can play the song, but it is missing something. Phish Sucks, thanks for ruining this phil song!
To those of you who say they can't sing, listen to them do accapella (Amazing Graze, etc.) or even a vocal jam on You Enjoy Myself (come on, who else can do that??).
No me gustó para nada esta versión, realmente muy mala. Watcher of the skies le salió muchisimo mejor, pero esto es berreta. Y vos, hermano, como vas a toser asi mientras grabas, son un desastre, loco!
Ay! Sure wish Genesis would have performed. Even if Phil is still without use of his hands, Chester could have drummed on something. I think it would have been so much better.
Genesis should've got on without Peter G, perhaps "Firth of fifth" with Steve Hackett. The excuse of Peter G not in attendance is not good enough not to play a set. Maybe more to the story of refusing to play may lie in past unsettled resentments towards Steve Hackett. Genesis did play in an VH 1 musicawards ceremony with Chester & Daryl in Vegas not too long ago.
I bet Genesis really regrets not playing. Phish could have still played Watcher of the Skies to open the set, Trey gives his speech, then welcomes Genesis to the stage. They could have played Throwing it All Away or a medley or something. Would have gone over much better I think. As much as I love Phish, them playing Genesis pop songs just isn't them. But, I'd love to see them do the entire Lamb Lies Down on Broadway this Halloween.
The diversity of Phish is an amazing thing that has eluded most musical acts of the past 20 years.Hard pressed to find another band that can cover tunes with such accuracy,all while creating an original sound of their own.I was amazed when I heard them do the complete White Album back in 1994...I mean ,c'mon! Who the hell learns a complete album to play one time only and leave it alone?Unbelievable musicians~!!!
Second, in reply to some....I hope Cable watchers and you think Phish suck....just helps get tickets to the shows, that mind you, sell out in the time it takes you to click buy tickets.
As well as these were very boring songs for musicians of this caliber to play.
And TREY! WTF! Were was Jen, Russ, and Natalie on the No Reply!!!....oh then TV land might have liked it and tried to scalp my ticket.
Phish did this one for themselves, Watcher of the Skies was for Genesis, this one was for themselves. They've been ignored by mainstream, and this is their chance to make a mockery of the situation. By singing those words to the "Who is Who" in the audience!
Phish did this one for themselves....just listen to the lyrics...Phish has been ignored by mainstream, and all the who is who is there...listen to the lyrics....this one is all about phish in disguise as a cover for Genesis, and a reason to play to them such words...Watcher of the Skies was for Genesis, this one was for them.
I think they did this one for fun of the lyrics....they are more talented as a group then most of the musicians out there, and perform amazing shows, but "is anybody listening? there is no reply at all" to the "Who is Who" in the crowd. Did Trey sing it well? Not really, but who cares...the message is sent! :)
Does not matter what your smokin! I love phish but for me the performances really did not sound good. I understand the quirky musical styling connection between the bands and treys love of them but it really did not go over well. Honestly I think the songs they choose were not that great. Sort of sad, millions of Cable TV households seeing phish for the first time are probably thinking there crap now.
Musically exceptional! Vocally marginal! Bong hits Priceless!!! Good job guys! ps... I am normally a huge critic... the last five albums sucked ass!!!!
7. The Lamb is what killed the band, it is a perfect example of a work of art that nearly killed the artist, nothing ever had been done like it before, and little since. the wall is another example of a work that killed the band 8. phish pulled off a very respectable watcher of the skies, and they had to do a later phil song.... big points for not doing misunderstanding or illegal alien...
9 yep no reply sucked, but they did as good as they could have on it..
5. It is VERY unlikely that Phil is going to ever drum again, his body is ruined for drumming and he said so publicly that he might do some singing but he can not drum at least at this point without terrible pain. 6. Phish HAS been very much influenced by early genesis, just listen the Squirming Coil, in fact the entire unreleased gamehendge saga is a direct decedent from the lamb.
3. Peter has been unable to come back to the old genesis music, I think he was close, really close a few years ago but just could not do it. There was one 1982 reunion but it was just because of a severe need for money, for genesis fans it is a sad thing but it is just what it is 4. those lame pop songs are a fuck of a lot more difficult to play then people realize, I was in the front row at the bowl for the final tour, and genesis sounded amazing, even on songs I really dont like that much...
1. a lot of bands have had other people play for them when introducing them into the hall, for example, Metallica played for Sabbath who were all in attendance that night. 2. Genesis is and was a fractured band, the fact that steve showed up was amazing, he has not been in public with the rest of the band for ever.
God people are so damn critical yeah treys not the best singer but they still sound great musically, the songs are a bit out of his range though I will admit.
I agree - I commend Phish for their performance of Watcher of the Skies, and my God, I'm sure the audience applauded after "No Reply" because they stopped playing!
The vocals aren't very good, yea - but i mean - its Trey, the guy sounds like a giant nose in general. What do you expect? Other than that, i think they did a decent job - its tough getting all those keyboard notes locked in and they had the horns nice and tight.
I'm not so crazy about the original though, so I mean who knows. Watcher of the Skies was actually fairly awesome.
wonder if phish will ever get inducted. Its a no brainer in my mind but it could be years before they even are considered. Not sure if this rendition helps their chances too
People just love to complain about everything and anything, especially Phish. I think that Phil Collins should have sang on this one but it's still great. They probably only practiced this and watcher a few times, and they pulled it off.
How bout the idea that post Gabriel Genesis blows and that they just might not be into playing that song? Add a lack of quality rehearsal and lack of interest you get a poor performance
What many of you seem to be having trouble with is Trey and his lack of range. Keep in mind that Phil Collins sings damn near falsetto--Trey has never claimed to have a great singing voice, but he is a great musician, and this (and Watcher of the Skies) is not an easy song to play. Granted, Trey sounds lousy, but this is still pretty damn cool. They are not "baffoons" or "jokers" by any stretch.
I have 200+ Phish shows under my belt...I love them. That being said, it is hard to argue that Trey's vocals are a little weak here. Taopauly, I want some of that Sour diesel you're pulling down in the background.
This is terrible.... not to mention chief thundersparks in the background. It was probably phil's idea to play those songs. Phish should have played "Land of Confusion" or "Invisible Touch" maybe fall tour 2010. lol
Since Trey just got done touring with his side project and Mike Gordon finished up his tour the night before, I don't think they had too much time to rehearse for this performance.
I think its more embarrassing that Genesis can't get all the members together on the same stage to play their own induction like others.
Seems to me that this is a much larger engagement than a rehearsal with a symphony that isn't going on tour for weeks. Couldn't fly in for the night? Weak.
Phil CANNOT play the drums at this time. He has a back nerve damage from botched neck surgery. Steve has not played with GENESIS since 1977, Peter is more into his own stuff, and an orchestral tour is a huge undertaking. He would have had to spend time rehearsing, he is half-a world away. Jet-lag????to sing 1 song anf Phil possibly the other. Sorry but this engagement that ignores real ROCK bands and inducts disoc and hip-hop, and rap, well........
All the current members of Genesis were there. Steve, in good spirit, joined in as well. It's a shame Peter couldn't get there but not out of bad feeling. He had prior engagements.
Ah well. Had to play a Phil song to be fair. Obviously Watcher is more up their alley instead of the super-cheesy post-Gabriel Genesis. The coughing and gagging is a nice touch;)
OMG so pathetic... Watcher of the skies was pretty good but this one is an insult... The vocals at 2:44 are bad, bad, bad... (@taopauly I hope your cold gets better...lol)
Trey's vocals have always been Phish's weak point. They brought the performance of Exile down a notch too. Then there's bands like moe. where everyone has great voices. Not fair sometimes.
i have spent a decade holding trey and phishs' music and musical opinion as gold. but i cant stand genisis i wounder if its all the boys or just trey thats into genisis.they'll jam those two songs this summer and make them better than genisis has ever played them
What a shame - of all the great songs in Genesis' repertoire; they chose this and didn't even come close to pulling it off.
The vocals are aweful. Honoring a band like this, who a 35+ year history, is a complete travesty!! They should have enlisted The Musical Box to honor them!!
Definitely a rough performance, but I think that's more from a lack of rehearsal time. The song is bouncy enough to fit in as a mid-set track this summer.
Don't be so quick to judge. The sound quality here wouldn't do ANYONE justice. I had it cranked last night in 5.1 and it was awesome. The vocals were still thin, but its Phish, vocals are most always thin. The difference is that you had the sick instrumentals to round everything out. Gordo was PUMPING those bass lines. It would be easy to find someone who could sing it better, but I challenge you to find someone who can nail the compositions as good or better, and still get by with the singing.
Wow the vocals are horrible. Shows two things: Phish has never been a strong vocal band, and Phil Collins is a better singer than I thought. Hard to hit his notes and intensity. Hell, he can't even do it anymore! On another note, Phish doing Watcher in the Skies is much, much better. They should have done that one and Firth of Fifth!
Unlike "Watcher," I couldn't sit through this...absolutely awful, especially when the keyboard player tried to sing the middle section. Jesus, Phish, know your limits! That was nothing short of embarrassing. I can just picture Phil, Steve, Tony & Mike in the audience, SQUIRMING.
Sorry but it's awful. its well off key in many places and uninspired performance. What a strange choice of song! Watcher was a bit better but not great. Why did Phish get to play there? where they inducted as well or just "well connected" ?
Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. Off key means someone is consistent in pitch, but starts on the wrong note (and just stays there). It's pretty hard to do if you've been playing music for years, let alone decades. I suspect if you sat down, no one could hear a word you're saying. In fairness, the vocals were a little out of tune, but no one in their right mind listens to Phish for the vocals.
I agree 100 percent with that statement. This was not a Phish show. Genesis was there. Geez, at least call me a douche for splitting hairs about being off key versus out of tune.
If only the vocals on this song weren't so.... rough. I could see either this or Watcher of The Skies in rotation some time. They pulled both songs off musically Watcher of the Skies more so I think.
I don't know Phish...so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt.
I'll just assume that this song was a rather ill choice for the singer.

The vocals aren't very good, yea - but i mean - its Trey, the guy sounds like a giant nose in general. What do you expect? Other than that, i think they did a decent job - its tough getting all those keyboard notes locked in and they had the horns nice and tight.
I'm not so crazy about the original though, so I mean who knows. Watcher of the Skies was actually fairly awesome.

wonder if phish will ever get inducted. Its a no brainer in my mind but it could be years before they even are considered. Not sure if this rendition helps their chances too

Artists become eligible for induction 25 years after the release of their first record...So Phish could get in 2014.

People just love to complain about everything and anything, especially Phish. I think that Phil Collins should have sang on this one but it's still great. They probably only practiced this and watcher a few times, and they pulled it off.

How bout the idea that post Gabriel Genesis blows and that they just might not be into playing that song? Add a lack of quality rehearsal and lack of interest you get a poor performance

What many of you seem to be having trouble with is Trey and his lack of range. Keep in mind that Phil Collins sings damn near falsetto--Trey has never claimed to have a great singing voice, but he is a great musician, and this (and Watcher of the Skies) is not an easy song to play. Granted, Trey sounds lousy, but this is still pretty damn cool. They are not "baffoons" or "jokers" by any stretch.

I got straight onto the bong in the background. Wonderful! Does it sound any better stoned? A great song, but the key is all wrong for the singer.

I can die happy now.
NRAA is a difficult song, as are many Genesis compositions.
That being said, I'm wondering when Phish are going to venture again into "Fly Famous Mockingbird", another tough but lovely tune..

Since Trey just got done touring with his side project and Mike Gordon finished up his tour the night before, I don't think they had too much time to rehearse for this performance.
I think its more embarrassing that Genesis can't get all the members together on the same stage to play their own induction like others.
Seems to me that this is a much larger engagement than a rehearsal with a symphony that isn't going on tour for weeks. Couldn't fly in for the night? Weak.
meltyerphace 1 year ago
Phil CANNOT play the drums at this time. He has a back nerve damage from botched neck surgery. Steve has not played with GENESIS since 1977, Peter is more into his own stuff, and an orchestral tour is a huge undertaking. He would have had to spend time rehearsing, he is half-a world away. Jet-lag????to sing 1 song anf Phil possibly the other. Sorry but this engagement that ignores real ROCK bands and inducts disoc and hip-hop, and rap, well........
jpirard 1 year ago
All the current members of Genesis were there. Steve, in good spirit, joined in as well. It's a shame Peter couldn't get there but not out of bad feeling. He had prior engagements.

Trey's vocals have always been Phish's weak point. They brought the performance of Exile down a notch too. Then there's bands like moe. where everyone has great voices. Not fair sometimes.

krazykaveman43 1 year ago
What a shame - of all the great songs in Genesis' repertoire; they chose this and didn't even come close to pulling it off.
The vocals are aweful. Honoring a band like this, who a 35+ year history, is a complete travesty!! They should have enlisted The Musical Box to honor them!!

Definitely a rough performance, but I think that's more from a lack of rehearsal time. The song is bouncy enough to fit in as a mid-set track this summer.
gotroot801 1 year ago
Don't be so quick to judge. The sound quality here wouldn't do ANYONE justice. I had it cranked last night in 5.1 and it was awesome. The vocals were still thin, but its Phish, vocals are most always thin. The difference is that you had the sick instrumentals to round everything out. Gordo was PUMPING those bass lines. It would be easy to find someone who could sing it better, but I challenge you to find someone who can nail the compositions as good or better, and still get by with the singing.

Wow the vocals are horrible. Shows two things: Phish has never been a strong vocal band, and Phil Collins is a better singer than I thought. Hard to hit his notes and intensity. Hell, he can't even do it anymore! On another note, Phish doing Watcher in the Skies is much, much better. They should have done that one and Firth of Fifth!
Isorski 1 year ago
Unlike "Watcher," I couldn't sit through this...absolutely awful, especially when the keyboard player tried to sing the middle section. Jesus, Phish, know your limits! That was nothing short of embarrassing. I can just picture Phil, Steve, Tony & Mike in the audience, SQUIRMING.
oliasdoug 1 year ago
Sorry but it's awful. its well off key in many places and uninspired performance. What a strange choice of song! Watcher was a bit better but not great. Why did Phish get to play there? where they inducted as well or just "well connected" ?
Yogiphildas 1 year ago
Sorry, but you don't know what you're talking about. Off key means someone is consistent in pitch, but starts on the wrong note (and just stays there). It's pretty hard to do if you've been playing music for years, let alone decades. I suspect if you sat down, no one could hear a word you're saying. In fairness, the vocals were a little out of tune, but no one in their right mind listens to Phish for the vocals.

I agree 100 percent with that statement. This was not a Phish show. Genesis was there. Geez, at least call me a douche for splitting hairs about being off key versus out of tune.

If only the vocals on this song weren't so.... rough. I could see either this or Watcher of The Skies in rotation some time. They pulled both songs off musically Watcher of the Skies more so I think.
