Genesis - The Return Of The Giant Hogweed

Amazing performance of this song, very similar to the one in 'Genesis Live' but without the duel between Peter's flute and Steve's guitar.

Super lineup: Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks.

This is from the Foxtrot (Supper is ready) Tour, January 10th 1973 in "Le Club Bataclan", Paris.

it is our plesure to present...."THE RETURN OF THE GIANT HOGWEED"!!!!!!!!!!!

one of the most awsome intro's of all time

Fabulous.. This is Genesis at its best, post Gabriel is tolerable but nothing comes near to this. I think Gabriel Genesis was more intelligent

[Berniedru]

fastblackshapes, he is obviously an extremely talented player and gifted composer. He always has been the driving force in Genesis. But have you got all his solo input ? I do. Imo, the only one worth of it, from track one to to the end, is his last, seven, a symphonic work.

Rutherford has done a solo work, Smallcreep’s day, wich ranks on the same level than the outpouf of the whole band.

This is not the case of Bankstatement or Still which are quite boring collections of AOR songs, with no melodies and pretty lame arrangements. On the exception of a bunch of songs, like I’'ll be waiting, That Night, A Piece Of You, or The More I Hide It, which is just a miracle. Probably one of the best things he ever wrote. But it is just my opinion.

@Berniedru 'Banks is not that good' try to play Firth Of Fith and then we'll talk.

@monkeybutler20 It was a bit over the top and any ordinary Joe would have been arrested under section 13. For Peter Gabriel there were no wankerz trying to use that piece of filthy legislation for their own ends and instead the audience was left with ringing in their ears from the intro' and the school triangle.

@PileofShit10 Ha "post Gabriel" it has a ring to it. I get what you mean but it's not intelligence because the intelligent others were still in place. I think you mean the change of a lead singer brought with it street credibility and dick heads with a bit of cash started buying Genesis records. The switch brought with it even greater rewards for the band members and their megalomaniac demigods.  Country houses for all dot dot dot

Probably my fav song from the early genesis years, lyrics really kick ass!
