Duke's Travels - Genesis - Solo Piano

[viwave]

just awesome

[1998rks]

one of the most amazing things i've seen in my life.....

[2Slipperman]

Right notes, wrong speed.

Still room to improve.

Cheers.

[showeyes]

Very good! Greetings from Hungary!

[abigorswhispers]

HOLY SHHH

[stuffedsonic]

That is the best cover of anything I have ever heard.

[1961rael]

monster:)))



[gm4c33]

[tributando]

Hi everybody!

Please enjoy also my cover tribute of "Duke's travels cover by pino lettieri"

All my best

[Collycoaster]

Lol so mesmerised i said musical instead of INSTRUMENTAL!

[Collycoaster]

Im sure i saw smoke coming from that left hand at one point. But it may have been just the blur from moving so fast. I was mesmerised by it all and hats of to a fantastic interpretation of one of my favourite Genesis musical numbers!

[pykowrnozes]

Well, that was fucking amazing.

[isitrealgood]

I'm amazed! I can appreciate anyone who can reproduce Genesis' music, especially a long instrumental like "Duke's Travels/Duke's End." And, yes, it requires an especially quick left hand.

[puck5]

This is amazing! Fantastic. Look at that left hand...

[mymyki]

Excelente!!!!!!!

[genesisporcupine]

a pleasure to see and to watch ... simply impressive ! i hope you will play other genesis songs' soon .

[jenschristof123]

You play this one without reading the notes???? Can't believe this. Respect where respect is due!

[jouxplan]

I am the drummer for igenesis, and my keyboard player just sent me this. I am absolutely blown away. That was one of the most astounding performances I have ever seen. I was transfixed. I would not have thought it possible to achieve the soundscape you did on a piano like that. I may not be a pianist, but from where I am sitting, that was genius. Your speed is staggering :-)

[igenesisproject]

Spectacular. Really just jaw-dropping.

[antozorro1]

bravooo



[0100roberto]

Good very good

[KeyserSoseRulz]

[ntinosdes2008]

This is an amazing version of "Duke's Travel"!!! I think that even Tony Banks would be impressed listening to Colin's playing! Colin you're a great piano player! Congratulations!!

[bernardcoleslaw]

Bloody. Hell.

[pelle9114]

Duke is a fine album from genesis in 1980. But this is not from these world!

WUNDERBAR!

[NarcissistsDie]

Can you imagine playing that live every night? :-)

[kamwrites]

HOW???????????????

[MrPhilipE3]

my hats off to you.

pleasure to listen and watch

and Kudos to Phil

[MrPhilipE3]

pleasure to listen and watch

[zizicoco2]

Incredibly good

[pinkfloydrule27]

wow i cant even do arpeggios that fast with 2 hands (and probably couldnt if i had 4!!!) amazing

[scriptulike]

Getaway! The recapitulation of Guide Vocal is just unbelievable. Well done you. Banks would be very proud.

Fantastic. This and One for the Vine are quite wonderful.

[scriptulike]

Fantastic.  This and One for the Vine are quite wonderful.

[IzzyTush]

The "changing" at 2'28 : one of the greatest moment in Music History... :-)

[fl3nd3r2012]

@IzzyTush

ur big :)

[Elrumudhael]

Outstanding!

[TheCorrectAnswer56]

I hope to God you do this professionally and make money for it.......and if you don't then you should. All of your videos are incredible!!!

[triptikboy]

You have managed to give beautiful originality to a cover. Wow.

[rael1970]

impressive... would love to see an MRI of your brain while playing :-)

[MrLucatech]

Amazing :-)

[gabigaroto]

WOW!  Great!

[Phillow3]

Absolutely stunning, what a talent!!!

[banksprogheim]

I'm speachless. Except to say that if he'd give this a little more space and a few accentuations in the right places, and record it on, say, a Steinway grand, and he'd become the most astute genesis cover band ever! Bravissimo!

[republikanin]

incredible man... do you have any classical training? how did you learn?

[myrhino]

holy fuckin shit!!!! incredible, absolutely incredible!!! I think Tony would be totally blown away...I know I am!

[MsMymichael]

Excellent

[MsMymichael]

Excellent

[fkfernie]

[PERRYFILM]

[pentaxfag]

[trelcious]

[musicappreciate]

Your rendition is truly a jaw-dropper Genesis themselves would be blown away.

[PhilCollins93]

Awesome

[jpjauvin]

I am extremely impressed. You have the fastest piano left hand I have ever seen!

[scriptulike]

Incredible! Superb arrangement.

[Skarsauneh]

AWESOME:D

[fletube]

one of the my favorites track. ur a genius, tx for doing it

[prosoloist]

OUT OF CONTROL!!! And I mean that in a GOOD way!

[TheSamara89kitten]

really, really well played man! I was given sheet music for The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and it momentarily stunned me.

[kerrygordon]

Love your pacing! great job

[Wolfcity7]

Yesss....that´s real cool!

I´ve heard this one oder and over again and maybe there are some small mistakes but what the F***,this is a very diffcult song and I like this version very much!

Great.Up it with better sound pls!

[alcantara06]

WOW, just WOW. 5 stars favorited. Great job. I don't know what more i can say.

[PITUSA28]

Great....Perfect....just perfect....you are amazing...You must to be a Genesis partner...

[giorgiogenesis]

come on colin..you are incredible..god bless you. Long life to GENESIS

[gabigaroto]

Great! All sounds!

[foxtrotnow]

stunning!!! wonderful interpretation. thanks Colin.

[fletch43matt]

I just lost 8 and a half minutes of my lunch break because I couldn't stop watching that INCREDIBLE performance. Damn you!

[ProgMom67]

Wow... that was incredible.

[thomasmultimidia]

Perfect man! wow!

[tsuaFzneiH]

Great job! But I think this recording lacks some sound quality, I'd like to hear a better recording of this one.

[ezepp5665]

Your interpretation of this wonderful song moved me to tears... fantastic!!! Hey man, I know this song since 1980 and never realized how much piano "work" it contains. Really impressive!!

BTW: Is it difficult to play this song in comparison to classical piano music?

[wots36]

You sure can play the piano Colin.

Did you ever count the number of notes you played in these 8:24 ?

Though I prefer the version of 'genesis for 2 grand pianos' by Yngve Guddal and Roger T. Matte.

But hey, most important is that people keep alive this brilliant piece of music.

[elbronto26]

fantastic. check out the album "genesis for 2 grand pianos"

[loicentun]

verry thats beautiful vraiment génial et époustouflant

[santibanks]

this is really amazing!

[strad36]

Wow. Simply amazing. Thank you!

[TheDrumChannel]

Well my hat is off to you sir - you are a top level player - I'd love to work with you - All by ear i'm sure - an incredible one at that.. Thanks for posting this - truly amazing

[pysio100]

Cool!

[tubelogin1]

UNBELIEVABLE! great! can you do the whole damn Duke album? this is unbelievable.

[IzzyTush]

That's when you realize that Tony Banks is a pure genious...

[emercito]

Beautiful piano´s melody

[butcherbird52]

wow. this is great man. very rare classical version. i love it.

[CuyahogaMustang]

Excellent , Well done !!!!!!

[acciaxxx]

maremma maiala! ma te sei un mostro!

... che tristezza vedere talenti del genere e ritrovarsi dei mediocri a far successo...

bravo!

[acciaxxx]

maremma maiala! ma te sei un mostro!

... che tristezza vedere talenti del genere e ritrovarsi dei mediocri a far successo...

bravo!

[BaronvonCase]

Nice playing. Go make some money playing live, for those of us who can't because all the music theft has rendered us who write music poor and unable to do what we love.

Remember in watching this massively talented gentleman that he'd have nothing to play were it not for the genius of the significantly less adept pianist Tony Banks.

[jdcresswell]

Well done! That was SUPERB! I CANT EXPLAIN IN WORDS HOW GOOD THAT WAS! SPECTACULAR! AGAIN WELL DONE! WOW! Im lost for words!

[alessandrodamico]

Veramente notevole!!! Bravo.

[splent]

Amazing. This is something I've been trying to do with other pieces... very very well done.

[OmicronIII]

Dude, that was sick!!! I mean, you're insane! I've heard piano renditions of other music, but this just beats all! Ever watch Star Trek: The Next Generation? You remind me of Lt. Commander Data. That's it... you HAVE to be an android! Everyone- watch his hands. They get very mechanical after a while.

You're living proof of human potential!

Forget the nit-pickers who have to find flaws. Let them come even slightly close to what you've done here... I doubt they can.

You are a piano GOD!

[edoemerson93]

WOW, you have made the best version for that little suite. YOU ARE INCREDIBLE!

You have a left hand very fast. You are similar to Keith Emerson. Have you got the piano score?

May you send me that?

[amirhamra]

great fingers! i am still with a slower tempo.Thank you very much ; seing you (so talented)confirm that we have good taste loving genesis.

[tiedupsmurf]

you and I must talk , we could cover this

I'd sing of course

I,M GOOD

[DavieMarshall]

Just spotted too, the solo is actually wrong. The first high run is the 'second' high run. Not to mention the lack of arpeggiation thanks to the fatalistic speed of the playing.

[TheNewBob]

Who cares? It's original, it's different, he's obviously talented and it's great to see such a tribute to a great song and a great band. Why don't you just chill and enjoy it rather than take him to pieces because he isn't absolutely perfect with every single note?

I like seeing Genesis songs being represented well, don't get me wrong, because its what their music deserves, but if nobody tried just because they aren't completely perfect then we'd be much poorer for it. This is a great effort.

[DavieMarshall]

I agree it is a great effort, and this guy has immense skill, no doubt. I just feel if he slowed it down a shade he'd really be able to shine.

[anigarcela]

I agree with you men this guy is absolutlly wonderfull!!!I´d rather you do it, it´s almost imposible.

GREAT JOB AND CONTINUE LIKE THIS!!

[KindAusErde]

It's right this way. Tempo is perfect. It really makes fun to watch you play. I will always come back to this place to hear your music when I am down... Thank you!

[123eddiemarshall]

too fast for your own good, couple of bum notes cos of this, slow it down and you'll be able to hit the lot spot on i bet!

[KindAusErde]

Amazing, amazing, truely amazing! No-one needs to tell you that you are amazing! Tony Banks is such a great artist, and maybe you have the power and the skill to write art like this. Try, try!

[jobvink]

Wow!!! A big hello from Holland, and what great piano playing is this? I wish I were able to play so good. And indeed, a great piano rendition! Imagine what this sounds like on a Steinway concert grand piano!

[19nywf39]

Holy Crap!

[19nywf39]

Great interpretation of a great piece

[nicolaiuta]

Yessssssss !!

[wbarreguy]

You are spectacular. I loved this! I'm a burgeoning pianist/keyboardist myself and played two Genesis songs this week. Feel free to drop by and say hello if you would like. Five stars. 500 stars if I could.

[gojikranz]

this is an amazing video i love to listen to it and your other videos. please do some more songs!

[dgcmusi]

In reading some of your comments I see your a piano teacher. So am I here in New York in America. Your interpretations are great!!

[philric74]

Hi man! You are great!!

I will write you soon!

w i genesis!!!!

[bret234]

incredible!!

[oS2006DE]

Bloody fucking impressive! The way this piece was meant to be heard! Fast and Hard!

[tomversations]

what great energy you bring to this track! really enjoyed your interpretation. nice work!!

[aaron1tatamovich]

why do you play so fast????????????? not nice

[DavieMarshall]

Great but far far too fast. I felt stressed out watching this!

[coxkeys]

the best on the net

[BrentMB79]

Excellent!! one of my favorite tunes

[FRAT99Po]

Dude this is amazing!

[kratfwerk]

marvelous

[Capacitor76]

Impressive performance - I couldn't dream of playing like that. It's particularly amazing how you reproduce the harmonic content of three instruments (keyboards/guitar/bass) with just two hands.

I have to say it appeared rushed at points, though. Some synth lines are barely audible, for instance, and have quite a few wrong notes (bum ones as well as obviously wrongly heard ones). That's bewildering, given your skills would doubtless allow for playing those parts accurately.

5/5 regardless.

[tomversations]

wonderful work! great interpretation

[TomDunn07]

this is absolutely fab collin!!! (this guy used to teach me)!!! i wish i could be as good:!!!!

[jamierael]

Amazing is the word for that my friend. Keep up the wonderful playing buddy.

[smokingbianco92]

very good job although I think it's better to play it on keyboard

[chigmg]

epic!

[Hyardacil]

This must be a virtuoso playing here.

This is bloody brilliant! The best piano cover of anything I have ever seen on youtube!

Brilliant!

I must have the sheets for this :D

[someonelikethemoon]

Seriously impressive, a joy to listen to!

[XiphiasFO]

Awesome

[pilhadenervos]

I and my friends here from Brasil became fans of you! Great job, great musician!! I'm a professional musician graduated in classic guitar and post graduated in composition. Now I'm learning more of the piano playing and will be marvelous to get some tips from you. You are really a concert pianist or your technique is purely the result of a deep understanding and enjoyment of this music? God bless you.

[salmacis81]

G-E-N-I-O!

[salmacis81]

I like the way your left hand interpretes the sounds of waves in the intro.

[hyperboreal]

Spectacular!

[arleco12]

Bravo, Colin!!!

Beautiful. Great tribute.
