Entering the venue, the first thing I noticed was the TWO sets of drums set up on the stage. Knowing nothing about the band. Until the moment Phil started playing along CT. I still get goosebumps to this day. Thanks to you tube posters for keeping old memories alive. Especially this, my ALL TIME favorite song by my ALL TIME favorite band, GENESIS!!!
It doesn't really show up on video but at 2:18 the whole venue suddenly lit up pink. It was awesome. Best gig I ever went to, along with Led Zep at Knebworth the year before.
@kamwrites - I believe this was one of Mike's compositions. Mike, Tony and Steve have all written music that creates that cosmic tug for me. Sounds Hippyish but I can't think of another way to put it - something that lifts the heart above the humdrum.
@RaysTrack It's Tony's. Mike's referred to this song as "Tony's baby" and Tony himself said he had a moment of panic while writing it, because for a bit it sounded like "Have yourself a merry little Christmas"...LOL! Either way, it's an awesome song.
My biggest regret is not ever going to see Genesis live. In my eyes they are simply the best, no body even comes close. Phil's voice always brings me out in goosebumps.......simply phenomenal!!!!!!!!
Amazing, but the best version on youtube is Live at Stadthalle, Vienna 28 Aug 1978. Also there are some 1977 clips from Earls Court 1977 which are amazing,

You are so right.. Brings me to tears. I still remember a new years party in my basement (1985) me and all my underage friends, drunk and watching this on a VHS (yes VHS) cassette. Standing in front of the television screaming this song. Watching Phil and Chester play together brings back GREAT memories.... thank you for posting

I started listening to Genesis during Peter Gabriel times & really enjoyed them, but Phil Collins was an amazing choice for Genesis. Duke is my favorite. I have the album, the 8 track, cassett, & now the CD. With the changing times, I understood why they had to change their style. I still followed Peter in his career... Solsbury Hill..oh yeah! Seen them both many times. Good Good Times!
I saw Genesis in 1984 in Calgary, Canada, I had been a Genesis fan since 1973 when a cousin from the UK introduced me to their music. The '84 concert was incredible and they remain one of my favorite bands along with the Eagles, Moody Blues, Emerson, Lake and Palmer and several others. There have been excellent bands since and before, but Genesis had a creativity like no other band.
This Band was awesome ! - This song great ! ....... and then after Duke ...........every creative atom from Genisis evaporated leaving a dead comercial soul less carcass
@purchasepete Absolutely agree with you 100% purchasepete. I still think Duke was brilliant; it had that Trick of the Tail spirit in it. Then Abacab, lI love the intro to the album for about the first minute, then ... down the drain. Spirit gone, never to return. It's oddly coincident with when the band got their own studio ... and the start of Collins' solo career. So many changes, turning 30 and all that.
Like the dust that settles all around me, I must find a new home. The ways and holes that used to give me shelter, Are all as one to me now. But i, I would search everywhere Just to hear your call, And walk upon stranger roads than this one In a world I used to know before. I miss you more. Than the sun reflecting off my pillow Bringing the warmth of new life. And the sounds that echoed all around me, I caught a glimpse of in the night. But now, now Ive lost everything, I give to you my soul...
@cmedei exactly Genesis's soul is Tony , it seems all we fans have some kind of colective concience and we do have feel that about Tony all around the world...!
I love so many Genesis songs, most every one. But, Afterglow has always been one of my top favorites, from the time it came out. Wind and Wuthering is definitely my favorite Genesis album too. And I have personally played Afterglow in my own shows for many years. I love doing it for people who only are aware of the more mainstream, hit Genesis songs, to turn them on to a real Genesis classic!
I saw them perform this five times from 77-83, always in smaller arenas and auditoriums and the way the bass pedals buzzed the seats and the sound just elevated the whole place, I remember it like yesterday. I just don`t think the larger outdoor shows create nearly the experience. I miss those shows...
Here's a neat game with this song: when Phil starts singing, start singing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." I didn't notice this: Tony Banks pointed it out in the Genesis book that was published recently.
@MusicStudioTV he put phil in the title because gabriel did this song originally! there is a couple versions or more and also two different singers even both did it together.
That would be the day ;) . Afterglow is from the 'wind and wuthering'-album. And guess: without Peter Gabriel. The lamb etc. was the last Genesis album with PG
dali mate, Peter Gabriel did not sing the original version "Afterglow", the song is from "Wind & Wuthering", which was the second album Genesis recorded after Gabriel's departure
@dalihendrix That is incorrect. This song first appeared on Wind and Wuthering, the 2nd record after Peter Gabriel left Genesis. It is the last song on side 2. I have every Genesis record from In The Beginning through Invisible Touch. I don't have We Can't Dance, but am curious to hear it. Trespass was the first official Genesis record, though the In The Beginning tracks were recorded prior to Trespass.
@dalihendrix ABSOLUTELY WRONG AFTERGLOW IS FROM WIND AND WUTHERING 1976 , WERE PG DON'T HAVE NOTHING TO DO, HE HAS LEFT THE BAND IN 1974 , AND THIS BEAUTY PIECE IS TONY BANKS CREATION AS MANY MORE !OF HIM SO FAR FROM PG "ERA" YOU MUST TALK WITH A LITTLE MORE OF KNOWLEGEDES ABOUT GENESIS !
where are you getting your info from?gabriel absolutely never performed this song!he was long gone well before this was even written.gabriel and genesis reunited for one show in 1982 i believe and if i am correct that would be the only time he and the band would have performed this song,but it was never officially released so who knows
@tammyden Amen to that! I had always loved it on Record or on their Live Records but when I heard it Live for the first time in Chicago 2007, I was literally in tears during that last minute. Absolutely amazing!
Queued for a day for this extra show. Took a dear friend (Louise Mulford) to the show, unfortunately she was killed diving on the Mary Rose shortly afterwards, Brings back some wonderful memories.
Wow... I also saw Genesis a little over 2 years ago with a very close friend who died shortly after. My bud Steve was no longer able to cope with life, addiction and depression. He and I both loved this song....
To anyone who never got the chance to see this performed live, I just can`t describe to you the power of the sound and light show that made this an almost otherworldly experience. This clip is good but a lot of the feel is lost in translating to this format. WOW...
I was lucky enough to see them five times from 77-87 and this was always in the mix as a part of a majestic atmospheric EXPERIENCE. You know what I`m talking about. It`s rare to get that from any show and they brought it every night...
amo a genesis ojala vinieran a venezuela .genesis y peter gabriel son lo maximo ,ya peter gabriel vino y fue una noche especial y maravillosa solo falta genesis con phil collins lo maximo
sone kake!!! heuelt doch alle rumm ey !! ich will das lied wissen wo se alle wie son trottel hintereinander her laufen..!!!! is niergendwo hier !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! scheiße
One of the songs that features in the soundtrack of my journey through life. You can take Phil and Mike out of Genesis but without Tony Banks, there wouldn't be a band. Songwriting genius.
I listen to his CDs in the car along with Steve Hacketts. Favourite Banks solo is Bankstatement. Love Derek Dicks haunting voice. First time I ever heard Market square heroes i thought it was Gabriel. It makes me think of what may have been.........
I can only agree with genesisinsideme. Genesis is THE BAND. I have listened to them all my grown life and it occur to me how much they rely means to me. This beautiful melodies end wonderful music comes throw those musicians.
A great song (post Gabriel) and sticking very much to the Genesis ethos and trademark sound.
However, in an effort to a wider audience and public acceptance, Genesis did sell out. No question about it. Collins got his way and Banks and Rutherford folded.
I will accept that Collins may of been a bigger influence at the time. But, to exist successfully, they had to change with the current music market. Yes, I hate No Son of Mine & Jesus He Knows Me. On the other hand, songs like Fading Lights, brought the trio closer together musically.
i must admit that I prefer post Gabriel Genesis. Yes, they went commercial, but still had classic prog songs on every album. I dont believe they ever sold out. Afterglow live is my fave of all time!
One of the best songs from the post Gabriel era. Consummate musicianship, interesting sound, especially the bass and keyboards. Wind and Wuthering was an underrated album in my view. Love Genesis still.
thre are several songs from the post Gabriel era... this is one of the best but ... Love Genesis still is a beautifull and real expresion to join with all us... Genesis fans in all "eras"... Wind and Wuthering 1976 ... what a marveluos album!
Superb, though sound quality is terrible here, doesn't do them justice. Still, it's awesome for me to see these guys perform live. I did get to see them live in Sydney many years ago and that experience is still vivid my mind and brings back most enjoyable memories for me.
Stupenda! Che musica meravigliosa! Tutti stanno a discutere se era meglio Gabriel che Collins, se i Genesis sono finiti dopo l'abbandono di Gabriel. E' chiaro che con Gabriel c'era qulacosa in più, ma come si può negare che questa musica non sia puro splendore.....pensate a quello che si sente in giro al giorno d'oggi....
Having followed and seen Genesis since those early days, I have to say that for me, they are better with Collins than Gabriel. This tour was brilliant. I went to the London concert. and saw a great band at the height of their powers, with a genius on the drums (vocals).
If Gabriel hadn't left, we would have missed the flowering of his solo career. He remains a musical master. Imagine a world without 'In Your Eyes'
I totally agree BigRaddy! Post Gabriel Genesis have some of the best songwriting they have done. Mid to late 70's albums are their best. My fave song of all time is Afterglow. Superb!
Genesis has always been # 1 for me!! They know how to play!!!! Wish another band would come out to play like them? But no...no one one can play like them again! Maybe history will repeat it's self? I really do hope so. :)
Whitout Gabriel in Genesis grow up individualy and as a band. Genesis became more successfully than Peter Gabriel . With Phill on vocals and drums, the band doesn´t miss Gabriel.
C´mon... Is like Pink Floyd have better dissolved when Syd Barrett died... The guys keep going on after Gabriel... That's all... No one was putting a gun to your head to hear them.
It's actually more like pink floyd continuing on after roger waters left, considering gabriel had been in the band for many years rather than syd barret who recorded only 1 album (2, if you count the one song of SoS).
Not that stupid Peter Gabriel vs. Phil Collins argument again. It has been going on on the internet for 15 years, if not more, and probably elsewhere since 1974... Get over it. The people in the band went on with their lives, and so should their fans.
This is a great song, and in my opinion, for what it's worth, the early 80's were when they were at their best live. The informal atmosphere is so much better than a stadium. I saw them at Wembley area in 81, still the best show I've ever seen. The only thing that lets that particular rendition of Afterglow down is the twangy fretless sounding bass. It sounds better with a heavier bass line. But hey, what do I know, I'm not a musician!
I know what you mean, Mike usually has a nice warm tone but it sounds a little bit thin and trebley throughout the show. I just wish he would have turn his bass dial up a bit more, same with daryl, his tone on motherlode and dukes travels isn't great.
i agree with glasshouse but this one of there greatest songs ever peter or not phil is great on his own right and hackett plays these beautiful chords along with tony banks so who cares about album sales just enloy the music

@tammyden Amen to that! I had always loved it on Record or on their Live Records but when I heard it Live for the first time in Chicago 2007, I was literally in tears during that last minute. Absolutely amazing!

Queued for a day for this extra show. Took a dear friend (Louise Mulford) to the show, unfortunately she was killed diving on the Mary Rose shortly afterwards, Brings back some wonderful memories.
Thanks for the post

Wow... I also saw Genesis a little over 2 years ago with a very close friend who died shortly after. My bud Steve was no longer able to cope with life, addiction and depression. He and I both loved this song....
I miss him. sorry for your loss....

A very close and dear friend of mine died and this song came out at that time, the words seem to fit perfectly to the moment.

To anyone who never got the chance to see this performed live, I just can`t describe to you the power of the sound and light show that made this an almost otherworldly experience. This clip is good but a lot of the feel is lost in translating to this format. WOW...

I was lucky enough to see them five times from 77-87 and this was always in the mix as a part of a majestic atmospheric EXPERIENCE. You know what I`m talking about. It`s rare to get that from any show and they brought it every night...

Phil seems to be his best on this performance. All the songs from this show are just so well-done vocally.

One of the songs that features in the soundtrack of my journey through life. You can take Phil and Mike out of Genesis but without Tony Banks, there wouldn't be a band. Songwriting genius.

How often do you visit Tony Banks' solo career videos here on YouTube? And, what were the names of his last few solo albums?
klwewf 2 years ago
I listen to his CDs in the car along with Steve Hacketts. Favourite Banks solo is Bankstatement. Love Derek Dicks haunting voice. First time I ever heard Market square heroes i thought it was Gabriel. It makes me think of what may have been.........

I can only agree with genesisinsideme. Genesis is THE BAND. I have listened to them all my grown life and it occur to me how much they rely means to me. This beautiful melodies end wonderful music comes throw those musicians.

And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now Ive lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.

A great song (post Gabriel) and sticking very much to the Genesis ethos and trademark sound.
However, in an effort to a wider audience and public acceptance, Genesis did sell out. No question about it. Collins got his way and Banks and Rutherford folded.
MrPapaBill 2 years ago
I will accept that Collins may of been a bigger influence at the time. But, to exist successfully, they had to change with the current music market. Yes, I hate No Son of Mine & Jesus He Knows Me. On the other hand, songs like Fading Lights, brought the trio closer together musically.
dazzer75 2 years ago
i must admit that I prefer post Gabriel Genesis. Yes, they went commercial, but still had classic prog songs on every album. I dont believe they ever sold out. Afterglow live is my fave of all time!
dazzer75 2 years ago
One of the best songs from the post Gabriel era. Consummate musicianship, interesting sound, especially the bass and keyboards. Wind and Wuthering was an underrated album in my view. Love Genesis still.

thre are several songs from the post Gabriel era... this is one of the best but ... Love Genesis still is a beautifull and real expresion to join with all us... Genesis fans in all "eras"... Wind and Wuthering 1976 ... what a marveluos album!

Superb, though sound quality is terrible here, doesn't do them justice. Still, it's awesome for me to see these guys perform live. I did get to see them live in Sydney many years ago and that experience is still vivid my mind and brings back most enjoyable memories for me.

Stupenda! Che musica meravigliosa! Tutti stanno a discutere se era meglio Gabriel che Collins, se i Genesis sono finiti dopo l'abbandono di Gabriel. E' chiaro che con Gabriel c'era qulacosa in più, ma come si può negare che questa musica non sia puro splendore.....pensate a quello che si sente in giro al giorno d'oggi....
francesco31006 2 years ago 3
Having followed and seen Genesis since those early days, I have to say that for me, they are better with Collins than Gabriel. This tour was brilliant. I went to the London concert. and saw a great band at the height of their powers, with a genius on the drums (vocals).
If Gabriel hadn't left, we would have missed the flowering of his solo career. He remains a musical master. Imagine a world without 'In Your Eyes'
BigRaddy 2 years ago
I totally agree BigRaddy! Post Gabriel Genesis have some of the best songwriting they have done. Mid to late 70's albums are their best. My fave song of all time is Afterglow. Superb!
dazzer75 2 years ago
Genesis has always been # 1 for me!! They know how to play!!!! Wish another band would come out to play like them? But no...no one one can play like them again! Maybe history will repeat it's self? I really do hope so. :)

Whitout Gabriel in Genesis grow up individualy and as a band. Genesis became more successfully than Peter Gabriel . With Phill on vocals and drums, the band doesn´t miss Gabriel.

C´mon... Is like Pink Floyd have better dissolved when Syd Barrett died... The guys keep going on after Gabriel... That's all... No one was putting a gun to your head to hear them.
shagrama 2 years ago
It's actually more like pink floyd continuing on after roger waters left, considering gabriel had been in the band for many years rather than syd barret who recorded only 1 album (2, if you count the one song of SoS).

Not that stupid Peter Gabriel vs. Phil Collins argument again. It has been going on on the internet for 15 years, if not more, and probably elsewhere since 1974... Get over it. The people in the band went on with their lives, and so should their fans.

This is a great song, and in my opinion, for what it's worth, the early 80's were when they were at their best live. The informal atmosphere is so much better than a stadium. I saw them at Wembley area in 81, still the best show I've ever seen. The only thing that lets that particular rendition of Afterglow down is the twangy fretless sounding bass. It sounds better with a heavier bass line. But hey, what do I know, I'm not a musician!
ianwhitehead9464 2 years ago
I know what you mean, Mike usually has a nice warm tone but it sounds a little bit thin and trebley throughout the show. I just wish he would have turn his bass dial up a bit more, same with daryl, his tone on motherlode and dukes travels isn't great.

DAMN IDIOTS make me falsely feel like hating army. Till I knew a sensitive soldier ,now serving in Afganistan. A real person is who I encountered.
The ones who mess and brutally anonymously rape an indiviual life and thus IT'S GROWTH are the geheime politie people.
I pity them poor with Joan Baez.
The messed me up for years and years.
Instead of letting life evolve and grow like it is bloody ment to be!
