I never knew Genesis ever played WHITE MOUNTAIN live... especially after Gabriel left the band.

BEAUTIFUL SONG.

Well maybe it has something to do with the fact that he wasn't part of the original creation and recording of this song??? Not making excuses for him, just saying.

I thinked than White mountain was forgotten in Phil Collins' era... by the way Collins sangs like Peter Gabriel

[bakooi]

Why isn't anyone playing drums? To me that's one of the best things about the song. Were they playing without Bill Buford? Still, a fascinating recording.

What an extraordinary man, Collins, to be brave enough to tackle a song that he didn't play on the studio recording, and yet sing it perfectly, and in one of his first shows with him singing lead! He truly is better than Gabriel, you can get Collins to do anything live and he'll do it fine. A flawless singer, flawless!

@incubus442 Oh well, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one :)

Now if there hadn't been a 'know' in the next line I'd be right with you...

[incubus442]

@cosmicjazzer I don't agree. The fact that it doesn't rhyme with "Dead" in the following line makes it not flow well in the song. And knowingly changing the lyrics of a song that was written by Peter Gabriel does not dode well for Phil Collins.

Who knew wolves adhered to such a strict legal code?

[cosmicjazzer]

@incubus442 Well 'go' rhymes with the 'know' that follows and, to me, seems to convey the spirit of the line better! But... 'go' or 'tread', I love the song. :)

[incubus442]

@cosmicjazzer

How can it be more appropriate when it doesn't rhyme at all. Tread rhymes with Dead. As in Outcast he trespassed where no wolf may tread, the last sacred home of the dead. Go and Dead don't rhyme and don't make sense in the song at all.

@nehpetsnitram But when Collins took over singing from Peter Gabriel, didn't critics note that he "sounded more like Peter Gabriel than Peter Gabriel"?
