Thank you all for all the great comments!! So glad you love this as much as we do!!

Unfortunately, all we can seem to find is the ONE SONG!! So, the search is on, team! They can't have filmed just the one song, whoever filmed this! Wouldn't you think they might've filmed the WHOLE SHOW??? With this kind of fantastic quality??? (One can only hope!)

[MrProgressiveman]

Not sure if there is any more from this concert; I will check my secret sources...

[MrProgressiveman]

You're very welcome! Glad you like it!!! :o)

Excellent! Rare and impressive. I love so much this "dramatic" song which make me go back to my school!

What can I say that hasn't already been said before, MrProgressiveman... Stuff of a legend! Never dreamed I could see this one, it's one of my faves from Abacab and unfortunately one of the most obscure and rarely played. THANK YOU!!!

[Neverlookthisway]

Great performance, great groove, great song which is very well sung!. Nice guitar bit at the end - could have gone on for longer!

@MrProgressiveman Thank you for uploading this! Even if its only one song - brings back great memories of being there that night so long ago. 30 years this week! I still remember Collins reading from a giant book - something about "big tits", lol.

Found this after realizing it was 30 years ago this week that I was there at Maple Leaf Gardens for this (Abacab tour) show. Still have the ticket stub ($12.50 tax included, lol).

Once again, like I said last year, this gem is fantastic. Only one thing that I'd like to add: I am sure the actual date is the second night in Toronto, December 7, as it doesn't appear on the full-concert bootleg from the night before. Also, you can hear Phil here mentioning 'tomorrow night for the people in Buffalo' and the next show was indeed Dec.8 in Buffalo, NY. Only wanted to share that, I hope you appreciate.

You can not put into words how much i love Genesis

Great find, for sure! Interesting, how they modulate down a whole-step at the end of the song ... I guess Phil wanted to make sure he could hit those high notes at the end ...

Good ol' Torontonians-they won't get up and dance, just like at Bruce's shows there.

Lighten up, people! Shake the cobwebs out!

[GLICKTON]
