nik0laoo7, you are an absolute hero. I have been looking for this for ages. I know you posted it a year ago and it was about 2 years ago i gave up looking. The night this was recorded in July 1987 i was there in the crowd with my sister. My sister who was more of a "Pop" Genesis lover at the time but i got her into the more serious stuff when i brought her to Wembley that night. She loved it. And this was a real highlight. I've tears in my eyes. Thank you so much. Ade.

Tony Banks is a God, He is a Master on the Keyboards, He is the sound of Genesis, for me, He is one of the most talented keyboard players has ever been exist in the world, sadly He never could success alone, but happily, He is alive, and I have the hope to see him someday in front of Genesis, maybe in SOUTHAMERICA.

Damn this is the shit! Yes: some of it is clearly jazz-fusion, but with a lot of weight, depth and power. Many of the jaz fusion bands from the 80s don't stand the test of time IMHO, it sounds like an exercise in futility by now. This sounds awesome - any recording from any time period. Even Afterglow (basically a pretty ballad, loosley based upon "have yourself a merry little Christmas" - still sounds marvelous, because it has Phil singing in front of that Wall of Sound and killer drumming!).

@TheOmanJam Ahh, those three tracks. Missing because the BBC "had to turn the tape over at some point".I have a full recording of the concert somewhere, but alas it is only a cassette tape version. I did manage to turn over in between the numbers though! Happy days.

@brianbeilke You can get it on DVD now on "The Movie Box" - a box set with ALL of Genesis's live videos.

This is good, but I recommend the Reichstag-Concert in Berlin even more: Phils Voice in Afterglow is stunning!

What is unnerviing is the cheesy synth-melody during the end of Afterglow, though. Thats what you come up with when you have no Mellotrons which pure chords would have delivered enough.. ;)

When they did this 3 years earlier it was recorded and can be found here on Youtube . A shame this was not

[mulleoops]

The first 4.28 is the best: Phil,s drumming!!!!!!

Great section - it was In the Cage - In That Quiet Earth - Afterglow, tracks 2 and 3 were the last two on Wind & Wuthering so it is quite like the original. It was original to join them in that way. (Of course, these 3 tracks were the ONLY three to be missed off on the fukking video of the tour! I also remember that I liked Home By The Sea on this tour, much better than 1983/4 and 1992, quite a bit faster in 1986/7 and not so tedious as it is when the instrumental is slow. Afterglow is ace!

La veo muy complica amigo... muy complicada. Ver a Genesis en mi país (vivo en Argentina) es el anhelo de mi vida pero tenemos que dar con la idea que estos tipos se van a morir sin haber venido nunca hasta estos pagos.

Saludos!

i love this medley its so poor that they never did exactly this medley again

as i saw genesis 2007 in stuttgart i was one of the luckyst pepole in the world and of course they played an cage medley and i love the cage/cinea/duke/afterglow medley but i wish they played a little bit more of the old stuff. but i loved the two periods. the collins and the gabriel era
