  • Este tema es la octava maravilla del mundo

  • beautiful version.....beautiful song......

  • The entire Band never fails to impress...!

  • bruford on 4:00 looks like a robot, amazing.

  • PHIL!! With HAIR!!!! Very cool version! Thanks! :)

    

  • Agree, no reason to hate Collins music- wise, In fact he was a bloody good transition if you ask me and I ain't his greatest fan since he apparently " threatened" to leave the UK if the (Thatcher) Tories lost power in the 1980's.

  • @KITCHENOFDISTINCTION Hey if that's true he will be ecstatic now that the greedy b'stards are back in power, stealing from the poor, the sick and the elderly. Mister Collins obviously has business interests, etc., that color his attitude to the less fortunate in that ailing and feudal country, Shame Philip, shame on you.

  • For all the people that hate Phil lately - watch this video. He has the buddha nature here....

  • grandissimi

  • No drummer has ever impressed me with like 100 cymbals or toms...

    But look at this drummer's feeling for the music.

    1st verse: coming in slowly with the hi-hat for the refrain

    2nd verse: addition of basedrum, opening of hihat in refrain

    3rd verse: addition of rimshot (but not during refrain)

    4th verse: addition of rolls

    That's impressing! That's what feeling is about!

  • @TheTubeDoor THAT MY FRIEND IS THE GREAT BILL BRUFORD!!!!

  • @TheTubeDoor

    Bill Bruford NEVER fails to impress.

  • Even though i prefer Peter i still like Phill and even some songs of his solo career

  • The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is one of the most perfect albums made

  • The thing with despicable Phil, is the fact that when his first marriage was in trouble.The other band members put Genesis on hold,agreed that he should go sought out his marriage.And come back when he had done that,while Tony,Steve and Mike did their solo projects. Phil sadly fails to do so and returns with the bad news.Massive solo album sales later, how does he repay the favor?.As a solo artiste,h'es bigger than Genesis and quits the band. Nice!.

  • Mild-mannered supermen are held in kryptonite

    And the wise and foolish virgins giggle with their bodies glowing bright

    Through the door a harvest feast is lit by candlelight

    It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight

    The carpet crawlers heed their callers!

  • From the album "A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and still with Peter Gabriel.

    How I loved them...

  • to me, it is good that phil sings it with his personal note and does not try to copy peter. still, i like peter's version more

  • I don't hate Phil Collins.He makes me sick to my stomach.

  • @Eamon15 Sorry,bady, dont say like this,you are good man but to much vodka

  • They didn't just lose Gabriel's voice when he was INDUCED to leave Genesis... they lost his songwriting, too. And that is an extremely important factor to be considered here. This song is a glorious example of precisely what Genesis lost when Peter Gabriel departed.

    So I really don't care how good Phil Collins is at singing. He could never write like THIS. Not even if his friggin' life depended on it.

  • amo questo brano da sempre, non mi stanco mai di ascoltarlo, sia che lo interpreti Gabriel, sia che lo interpreti Collins, che per me sono due Grandissimi... grazie per averlo postato!

  • this is fucking brilliant, holy god damn shit. I thought Phil Collins was a Sting-like tool. But oh man. That chorus melody.... jesus fucking god damnit.

  • Legendary! Love this song. This sounds better than the album version!

  • Comment removed

  • Gabriel is a close second to most emotive,achingly beautiful singers of the era. The first will always be " It Makes No Difference " Rick Danko . Both brought the extra dimension

  • still get goosebumps. I saw them two years later in Saratoga Springs, New York.

  • I think Phil copycat Gabriel´s voice. And later, he downloaded the music standards of Genesis for a more pop sound. He never should leave the drummer seat.

  • @porkusmag Not even close Phil has his own voice..

  • @genesis1975 and @suzikasarda ABSOLUTELY I agree , these 2 are in somehow similar but different, but part of the same creative artist group with great influence to a large audience of people all ages, i was lucky born in the right time of music to enjoy all at its best & thankful both singer still in creative processing..tumbs up for great artists & musicians...peace

  • what can you say the best band and musical lyrics ever produced love the whole lot to get back together for this old timer

  • MIKE!!!!

  • As long as the members of Genesis, past and present, still live we will hope for a heartfelt reconciliation and a truly joyous reunion. In my opinion, there are only three bands to surpass Genesis, and two of them are sadly irreparable through the deaths of former members. If they had lived, I would like to hope they might have eventually put aside their differences, for their fans.

  • the lambs do lie down of broadway

  • Everybody talks about Phil and Peter,what about Ray?

  • It must really suck to love one singer and hate the other...I love both Gabriel and Collins equally. Both have completely changed my life with their music, Firth of Fifth, Cinema Show, I Know What I Like, Carpet Crawlers - from Seconds Out or from studio - who cares!? Both versions have their own charms.

  • @genesis1975 Its the same thing in a lot of bands...AC/DC with Bon Scott vs. Brian Johnson, Van Halen with David Lee Roth vs. Sammy Hagar, the list goes on

  • @Prog Rok Mok Rod. Yes we do dont we. Ever so humble Master Gabriel. Had him down as a Prima Drummer in 72 an Gabby as a Prima Donna. Going over all this now 35 years later, I have no reason in retrospect to change that point of view at all.

  • @Prog Rok Mok Rod. Yes we do dont we. Ever so humble Master Gabriel. Had him down as a Prime Drummer in 72 an Gabby as a Prima Donna. Going over all this now 35 years later, I have no reason in retrospect to change that point of view at all.

  • magical, epic, great, beatiful song and performance. I love the look of the young Phil.

  • mein Lied, meine Jugend, meine Sehnsucht zurück, meine Liebe, für immer, mein Leben, das schmerzlicher nicht sein konnte, mein Ich, meine Vergangenheit!

  • Gefühlvoller gehts kaum...wirklich grandiose Darbietung eines wunderschönen Liedes!!!

  • As much as I like Peter's version,this song is all Phil,Peter sounds so bored when he sings this song.

  • @SlitMouthWoman when you sing better than peter gabriel then tell us.

  • @gonzataker Did I say I could sing better then Peter? No.

  • This is worth a million Su..Su..Sudio's.

  • Comment removed

  • The squeely instrument is Steve Hackett's guitar- the best part of the the song, but even better on the 'Seconds Out' album version

  • @utahn3752 Poor steve no close ups in the video and one of the most under rated guitar players in "rock" and whose departure changed their sound the most .

  • @utahn3752 | thanks man, i listen to the song in part to hear that subtle yet intense (makes me of think the high parts of echoes) guitar work.

  • I bet your carpet looks better then mine, lol. My only point is that "looks" in this early 21st century seems to surpass musical talent and expression.

  • Phil has a bad hair day here.

  • @SlitMouthWoman Who cares about "vanity", SlitMouthWoman? Oh, yes. You're from vanity land, aren't you?

  • @msjnc1967 You heard of a joke smart one??

  • @SlitMouthWoman He'd love to have a bad hair like that today.

  • I just love this period of Genesis, when Steve Hackett was still there a Bruford on the drums.

  • classic...very nice....takes me back to a less complicated time.........ah.....

  • It's always been a "on the fence" thing with me, first Genesis album I heard was "Seconds Out" - that same summer saw gabriel in concert (scratch tour) and both blew me away. "Abacab" was the last Genesis album I cared about. Collins first two solo albums BUT everything peter does is gold. Meh.

  • Phil sings this song a little bit better than Peter

  • wow, listen to Hackett's part in this!

  • @neonbreon Well said - often overlooked but i think it is what makes the song special. Also -- isnt Bill Bruford great on drums ?

  • @mike516ish absolutely

  • Argue all you want about Gabriel vs. Collins...THIS is the best version of this classic Genesis masterpiece. The "Lamb" studio version is second....IMHO

  • @saychinqua Wrong,it will always be the whole bands song it wasn't just PG who wrote it.

  • I saw the live genesis concert in 1978 which has to be the best music show I have ever seen. I would have liked to have seen Peter Gabriel as the lead singer but Phil Collins did so beautifully. Phil took Genesis somewhere where I don’t think it should have gone.. commercial. I liked the old artistic classical rock sound of the earlier days when genesis was just amazing. I cannot get tired of this music its crazy! We certainly don’t hear music like this today.

  • Absurd to argue the toss between Pete and Phil. Like comparing an Aston Martin to a Datsun. Yip.

  • @burgesmate This a an insult to the Datsun! lol You should compare an Aston Martin and a second hand bicycle. I agree that the "grocer man" is an hell of a drummer and knows how to make money but as the singer and composer of Genesis......no comments.

  • Can't understand why there are many Collins haters. He was a great dummer on Gabriel era, and I believe his work on vocals is great. IMHO, the leaving of Hackett was more decisive to Genesis music style than the dominance of Collins. Both are great, I see no reason to dislike Phil great work on vocals!

  • @doutorfred Nobody denies that, man. Great drummer, great vocalist. No doubt. Great Pop solo albums as well (I even dig 'em). But why he had to bring his shit to A PROG BAND? ...THAT puzzles me...I don't blame him totally neither. Mike and Tony were his partners in crime on "Selling Genesis by the Pound" as well....

    And believe me: "I Don't Care Anymore"

    There are so many other great Prog bands around nowdays...

  • @doutorfred no doubt genesis left a great heritage to the progressive rock era. and unlike many other bands they also did a great job later in popular music, not at least due to phil collins. he is one of the best singers of all time imo, his voice is just amazing. and i dont think thats his fault that genesis changed their style, its just the sense of time that changed. progressive rock kind of died in the late 70s, but genesis where there to stay! and thats a great achievment!

  • @ocb2112 Progressive Rock became Progressive Metal with the introduction of Dream Theater, the change of musical style by Rush and Iron Maiden's Rush phase. Still good, but not the same

  • @doutorfred agreed

    

  • @doutorfred

    it's because gabriel brought the songs to life...there's nothing wrong with collins as a singer (he sounds a lot like gabriel actually)...it's just that gabriel had TONS more range emotively..

  • They both have an amazing amount of talent and have contributed equally to the success of Genesis. Let's not forget the success of their solo careers. We should all look up to them.

  • Prog fans like Peter, Pop fans like Phil. Me? I like "prog" Peter and "prog" Phil...... But hate "pop" Phil to death.

  • @vivelavidarocka You are not a true genesisfan if you don't like pop-Phil!

  • @bananeskit Why? I'm a fan of the genre. One that this band used to play...that other band playing mostly pop hits and 15 minutes Prog medleys in their concerts was not of my liking at all.

  • @bananeskit Genesis were two completely different bands. a great prog band and an easy listening band.

    I can not see why you have to like both. And NO this is not a matter of before and after Gabriel.

    Pop Phil started dominating many years after Gabriel left.

  • Peter, and Phil...and that, to me, says it all. To me, you have 2 worlds here: Peter, the soulful storyteller, his voice like a brush on a canvas, painting...and Phil, with a perfect feeling for the right note at the right time, and a rhythmical timing to die for. To me, the REAL magic happened when these 2 great voices almost became one!

  • the lead into this song cannot be duplicated... I saw Genesis everytime they came to Pittsburgh, and cried everytime I they played this... and a few others!!!!

  • Old Genesis rules.

  • It's amazing how quickly Phil's voice adjusted to the lead role after Gabriel's departure. I think if I were Phil, I would have been very afraid to be out from behind the drum set like that (God knows I was when performing with my band).

  • Who is playing the double neck?  Is it Mike Rutherford or Hackett?

  • @charles121251 I think it's Rutherford (judging by the hair/height) . . . if so, they don't show Hackett's face at all in this video

  • @charles121251 it's rutherford, hackett plays with a les paul, rutherford with a double neck 12 string and bass guitar

  • @charles121251 That's Mike with the doubleneck. Steve is sitting on the stool to the far left.

  • @sarcee1960 Steve Hackett's guitar makes this song-glad I'm not the only one who noticed his contribution. God bless.

  • @charles121251 Mike Rutherford plays a Shergold 12 String and Bass on this, Hackett the Gibson Les Paul Custom. Interestingly, Mike Rutherford does not play bass at all on this. Look to Tony Banks for the bass line played on piano

  • Phil's fantastic here. Moving performance.

  • Peter (or is it Phil? looks like Phil) has just to begin to sing: Every syllable goes right though my heart. Incrediblie! But I don't believe it ist a Peter or Phil thing. It is just that the song was relatively new then and they played it like a prayer -full of love, hope and freshness. I love it!

  • It's just classic great music :-)

  • Mike should of been the lead singer,but Phil is good enough.

  • When gabriel left the band, they thougth they were finished. They started looking for a new singer and as they auditioned new ones, Collins would advise the auditioning singers that they needed to sing it like this or that, or it needs to sound like this or that etc....as this was going on, Ruthurford and banks said..Hey..Phil is really good...HE needs to sing these songs....hence the album..And then there were three....

    Both are awesome regardless!

  • Totally agree. STOP! Two voices similar...both wonderful...both moved on...so lucky we are to have them... ~ Peace ~ ...and love to all music...

  • Gosh I Actualy have seen it in Germany as teeny and I LOVED it and still do

  • 240p is not "HQ"

  • phil is the best.

  • nothing and no one can really come close to Peter Gabriel. Sorry Phil

    Sorry too  Nem á mais caso se opinoão ... é só esctar isso .... maravilhoso

  • I am the biggest Peter Gabriel fan around but I have to admit Phil sings the fuck out of this song.

  • @talibe801

    you can't be serious , moron

  • Phil is a tiny little dude,here.

  • It was there freebase stage.lol

  • That's Bill Bruford (Yes original drummer) on the drums! I saw this concert.

  • merda de aprensiz de cantor!!!!!

  • ladies and gentlemen, please welcome mr phil "the one and only" collins! brilliant!

  • Why do I always see people posting attempting to lift Phil up and put him in the same ball park as Pete. You people have heard of venting haven't you? That's exactly what these comment sections were created for. Pete left and we're still not happy about it! Quit trying to sugar coat it and let us keep lifting Pete up! He deserves it! And God knows Phil doesn't need anymore praise...

  • Philip is from the working class and Peter from the upper middle. That is all there is to say really even though it's better if we say lots more about them. Truth is Philip was a classy drummer ( fokin brilliant akshully) and Peter a classy actor with a cute voice. Hey imagine if they'd used an electronic drum machine instead of Philip?

  • Dire che mi piace è troppo poco!!! :D

  • Thanks for sharing this title from Genesis

  • The fight between gabriel and collins fans never ends. I think both are great singers and one have something the other doesn't have. I think phil is better at melody and technique but peter is better at feeling and truth in his performance.

  • @onukhh Yeah your right but what about ray wilson he was good too

  • @onukhh i agree- peter puts more heart in this song, no wonder, he wrote it... but phil did a very good job. Without Phil the band wouldn't have had the chance to go continue on... so thanx, Mr Collins!

  • @schnippenwippen I agree 100%. Although I don't like Collins' period as much as Gabriel's, we all owe him the continuation of PG's work.

  • @onukhh thats why i love both of them :D

  • Yeh that was a weird transition for me... no one can come close to Gabriel, he has the passion that no one can touch.

  • out of tune

  • Phil's still the greatest rock drummer, he & Bruford invented rock/prog drumming...and did everything a decade before the other guys caught up...

  • I remember a quote from Peter Gabriel in Armando Gallo's book "I Know What I Like," where Gabriel mentions his first experience seeing Genesis perform after he left the band. He says, (please forgive me if I don't get the quote exactly right) "Phil sings the songs better than I did, but he doesn't sing them with the same meaning." Just thought that was an interesting comment coming from the original singer himself.

  • When Phil was mint...

  • I always loved this song . I had the album when it came out on viny l! Man, I'm getting old !!

  • Es la mejor versión de la canción, lejos, y la mejor época de la banda (seconds out es el mejor disco en vivo de Genesis), por más que Peter ya no estaba. Yel disco A trick of the tail, el mejor de todos.

  • Damn, every single version of this song after the original messes up that "mild mannered supermen..." part. The studio version of this song makes God cry, in a good way.

  • Breathtaking!

  • Awesome. I still get chills up my spine whenever I hear this song.

  • why is everybody always comparing peter to phill,peter was and is a great singer,

    phill is a great drummer and a great singer,thanks to them we had beautifull moments of the best progressive rock ever made.

  • @talibe801

    peter as a singer is a fake

    his voice lacks every basic thing

    he is a carpet crawler

  • @talibe801 Amen to that brother! Phil was just perfect the way he was with Genesis and if it weren't for him and his style of singing, earlier Genesis would have never even been recognized at all. It was Phil that brought it to the level where Genesis would get more radio play and exposure to the "earlier side".

    Great tune and nice video. Thanks for the post!

  • @talibe801 you want to know why ? because the name of the band is still GENESIS... and -oh what a difference...

  • @talibe801 Because you and I, and all music fans get it! Pop fans never will Friend!

  • I like the voice of Peter Gabriel... But I think in this case Phil was better. His voice fits to this song better. But opinions always differ.

  • der juno phil is playing dums der

  • I was 3 yrs old , in 76 but it's amzing how this song flow's with the era!!

  • Grande Collins!!!!!

  • Is there any competition between Peter and Phil? I didn´t know!!!

  • You know what, Phil sings it damn well here! I think this version is quite grand!

  • brilliant thats all

  • Ok...Peter is a world on its own...but not to forget: "Carpet Crawlers" was the only song on the original "the lamb lies down"-Album (1974) sung by Phil!

  • @ohrenchecker Are you kidding me? Peter sung lead on it. I'm 100% sure of that. But Phil's backing vocals are quite present on "Carpet Crawlers".

    The only two songs that Phil sung the lead vocals for while Peter was still in the band were "More Fool Me" and "For Absent Friends".

  • @Miniermotte Your so right! Execute me.;-)

  • @ohrenchecker :) No problem. Maybe you were confused by the 1999 version of the song in which Phil sang lead on the fourth verse.

  • HQ ?? My ass !!

  • Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins brought two very distinctive energies to Genesis. There are songs once sung by Peter that were given a longer life by Phil. That is good! There are songs that phil sings that only Peter's voice will do. Yet that fact remains that without either of them Genesis would not be what it is. I'm thankful for both of them.

  • only one of their awesome songsssssssssssss can't believ how much hair phil had at one time cool he looks good either way actually i like him better without all that hair hahaha some guys just cant wear it

  • What did Steve Hackett do to piss off the director?

  • amo esta cancion, significa mucho mucho para mi...

  • phil=better musician then peter (and he can sing SOME of peters songs better them him live..................like this (keyword live)

  • A mi me gusta mas como canta Phill que Peter, los idolatro y los admiro a los 2, pero si me decis, tenes q armar una banda y tenes q elegir para el puesto de cantante a peter o a phill, yo lo pongo a cantar a phill de una.

  • @chronos1411 estoy con vos man los dos transmiten pero collins tiene una tecnica vocal muy especial es un genio!

  • Great tune....Visuelize these lyrics,might wanna eat some mushrooms first....

  • Great tune....

  • Stick him back behind his kit and nick his mike and leave him there for 34 years and counting

  • I love the Phil version - I love the Peter version - I just love Genesis...

  • I love the version of Peter Gabriel much more than this. 

  • To me, it's Tony Banks that makes the Genesis sound, so I can't even compare the Phil and Pete eras. I like them both...because Tony's music was involved.

  • Genesis "Carpet Crawlers" que significa tanto "Los que se arrastran por la alfombra" como "Los que se humillan en el castigo".

    We've got to get in to get out....Debemos entrar para hallar la salida

  • Ich finde beide sehr gut, eagl ob früher Peter oder dann Phil....einfach genial :-) Und wie Phil die Drums beherscht brauch ich auch nicht näher zu erwähnen!!!

  • let's not forget phenominal drummer =) shout out to Chester Thompson

  • @skorcha you do know that thats Bill Bruford playing the set?

  • Alala cette mode de dire que Peter ceci Peter cela, Phil est aussi grand y a aucun doute la dessus!!

  • Kultstatus!

  • who is that gurl with the guitar and the small boobs?

  • @BrokebackMounty as much as I hate to admit it, I had the same reaction when I saw him. ;)

  • in my opinion this song is about this "magic" selforganized manifestation of the life self-produced ideas that makes naturalistic things feel alive..its about that dancing moment what makes us feel free in a deterministic system..but the big door stands for the uncertainty relation and our limits as a pre-stage of a big synergy like everything works..u can call it a evolutionary gaol we all r trending to..like moleculeschains emergent sticking in other molecules to build up a new synergy..
