This song is awesome!! I like everything genesis ever recorded. There musical style changed over the years and some fans are divided over the Gabriel and Collins era's. I personally have great affection for both. These guys deserve our respect for giving us something solid to hold on too for so many years. Something that is sadly missing from today's bubble gum music scene!! Big respect to all members, past and present, including Steve Hackett !!
The altsax-solo replacing the flute is a pretty brilliant stroke. And that guitar solo: the notes are pretty simple, but Steve turns it into a moving mood piece.
From the UK Wiki it says that Genesis never played the piano intro to Firth of Fifth in their live shows (for instance on Seconds Out) and so Steve and his band were the first to bring it to the audiences. Great job by Roger King!
@evzen1973 I've just seen him at The Wharf in Tavistock. They played this piece and the solo had me in aural ecstasy with spinal shivers - it was superb! The following night my friend saw them in Gloucester and apparently they didn' t play this piece. Luck of the draw I guess. Anyway, he's touring the UK in February 2012; don't just pine, go and see him!
@sulfacide That is the most poetic thing I've ever heard anyone say after hearing this track and yes, I do feel that . . . . I've written it down for use in the future :)
J'aime beaucoup cette version très originale, pleine de fraîcheur et de nature...on dirait un peu un conte musical..en tous les K ça m'y fait penser....la grosse voix du Loup, de Pierre et le loup par exemple...
he's a sweet drummer i might add

I stopped following Genesis once Steve left. As you watch this video you will know why. Simply an amazing talent.

Wonderful, legendary Genesis' masterpiece. But the voices of Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins are somethin else, unreachable, mostly Gabriel's one!
