Squonk has such a powerful melody that makes time stop.

Great album. I probably go back and listen to this album more than any other Yes album. A stupid fact about this version of Yes: every member of the ban’s last name consists of one syllable- Squire, Howe, White, Horn, Downes.

Damn Roger kinda sounds like a jerk.

Tjat wouldve been the best Dole ad or ad in general ever

Top of their game. If they called it a day after this it would have been a fitting ending.

As a devoted follower of Genesis through all its forms, without any prejudices, I find this album to be both beautiful and soulful.

My intro to prog rock .. ❤this album to this day .

Pink Floyd called it rubbish, I disagree vehemently. Obscured by Clouds, Ummagumma, Meddle. Anything past Syd and pre- DSOTM is incredible. A shame so many "fans" have no clue. Also Syd's solo work is beyond words. Stark, cryptic, sad, uplifting, unsettling. Whoopsie, said beyond words. 5 men who inspired, entertained me and countless others. Rick's Summer 68, outstanding. 1 of my favorite PF songs

If the band had a good rest, Roy Thomas Baker could have brought them into the 80s on a high note, but it was not meant to be. I didn’t buy Drama, until the 90s, I was focused on my career and life.

Happy The Man.....a wonderful tune, written and given to Peter, by Cat Stevens as a thank you for Peter's flute playing on Cat Steven"s song Katmandu.

Thank you for putting this all together, this LP is one of their finest works, I saw a concert of this Tour at the Omni in Atlanta, Georgia. We stayed at the Omni Hotel on a top floor overlooking the enormous atrium, I brought along a Cassette early version of a boom box, and played Turn of the Century out on the interior balcony, it rang through the atrium. Suddenly, Anderson who was in a second floor suite, came out and started to play his harp, a lot of fans gathered around and we went down for a little Anderson mini harp solo. He played for about 15 minutes then went back into his room. This was in the afternoon before the Concert. After the Concert we we to the Hotel bar and found Wakeman, many fans were there, nobody bothered him, but he left and went down stairs and hailed a taxi, and off into the rainy night. As we caught an elevator back up to the bar, when the door opened there was Chris, who was polite and signed our ticket stubs. We left him alone as the elevator doors closed. A magical night. After seeing the Relayer Tour, the GFTO Tour with Wakeman was fantastic, I believe the band were in top form. Off to Bed, but at 10:am the next morning as we were getting ready to Checkout, Anderson was back on the balcony of his suite playing an acoustic guitar and singing a song I have never heard of or remember it. Then after a few minutes he was called in by someone, no doubt off to the next City. I was 19 years old and I still remember that visit to Atlanta, one thing we never did before a YES Concert was get high or drink, to much to be in the same place as the band, I wanted to remember it, and I didn’t want to miss anything running to the restroom. I do Remember Donavon being a great, perfect opening act. I liked Tormato, but I think the guys probably needed a long break, and then Alan broke his leg or foot during the Paris sessions and only the guys know what happened, as the 1970s came to an end. I was just listening to The YES Album yesterday and read on the back where it was recorded in the Autumn of 1970. Wow in 10 years time they had recorded the best Art Rock of all the bands coming out of England. I was lucky enough to meet Chris Squire several times away from the band, thru a good friend. May he, Alan and Peter all Rest In Peace.

Since I saw Genesis at their first gig abroad in Meerlo at Midsummerpop (1971 or 1972 I don’t remember), I was totally hooked.

Great video! Great to hear more about this album.

Just amazing

Anni 70 anni precursori di modelli progressivi musicali che hanno lasciato il segno, negli anni a seguire poi un ispirazione ed evoluzione continua. I Genesis ne furono maestri di altissimo livello. 🤩🤗

Bonjour Rael, comme la sensation d'écouter un nouvel album de Genesis de la bel époque ! Fan de la première et pour toujours, comment peut on télécharger cette superbe compilation ? Un grand MERCI !!!

Una obra maestra.

An interesting film about one of my favourite Genesis albums. Nice one! Lord knows why you thought it was a good idea to marry isolated vocals from quite different songs over actual Genesis backings though!! I mean really?! The one with the John Bonham drum track might have worked with Phil's vocal, if you'd time-stretched them to align the different tempos.

Hoping Genesis Foxtrot is up soon? Caravan's land of Pink and Grey would be great if you could get enough info.

Good documentary, but the narrator’s accent is so hard to understand…he makes it painful.

Flawless, yet again. Thank you.

Quando e que aparecem musicos com esta dimensao culural talvez nunca

Always loved Relayer. So much good guitar, drums, bass and keyboard work there. I have it on vinyl, cassette, and CD. I’m sure you understand.

Dance through the Light - where can I hear that!?

This is fantastic. Thanks for all the work you put into this. Wow.

👁El ojo

Interesting selection but to own those albums is mandatory, they are all masterpieces. Remastered versions are sold now for a few bucks.

The talent of this trio is unique. I doubt their will be anything like them again. The best live show that I've ever seen, and Ive seen many.

Thank you, Rael... I've been a monster fan of Tales for decades, and your review is so insightful and informative. Their ambitious achievement in creating it has truly altered and inspired the course of my life. You've given it the respect it has always deserved -- well done!

Real drummer chose PREMIER .

Hey Rael, I've just 'discovered' early Genesis and your videos are sublime, you have your supporters and thanks for thinking of us. Keep up the amazing work you do, it's a real education you can't get anywhere, you're doing an amazing service to us music lovers. Keep us updated please !

Bruford squire and Howe I’m in.

What no has to be bruford for yes

I can't help but see that by the two albums used are from after Gabriel left the band..

Watres wanted a conceptual album but he had no artistic concept, vague idea but not a concept to be presented in coherent way. Probably he started to realize that musically Gilmour is way ahead and his attitude was a way to compensate obvious complex...

Instead of the photoshopped and AI images, have you tried creating graphics with the smaller photos as an inset? Like having the artwork to the side in like a collage style

I am awestruck. This is completely, imcredibly brilliant. My love of Genesis has been elevated even further. Thank you, Rael! ❤

Excellent. Well done!

Hubiese sido un gran album

Funny how their extreme musical talent seemed to suck a lot of common sense out of their heads.

nother great post thnx.

LOVE this docu of my favorite album thank you so much

La música que nos impacta en la juventud se convierte en la sintonía de nuestra felicidad

Brilliant from start to finish as is the album, thank you

Fantastic re-mix of A True Masterpiece! Such clarity on Peters vocals. As well as the rest of the bands instruments.

The Lamb is truly a musical phenomenon. The best prog rock or art rock album of all time, a real anomaly and sonic and lyrical masterpiece. What a pity the Jodorowsky film version of this didn't get made!

Who's "Keef"?

As a prog fan, especially a huge Genesis freak, your videos are absolutely fantastic! They're always worth the wait

Patrick Moraz did a extraordinary performance. He carries the album. Sadly today, he Is playing in and yo very small audiences. He did great solo albums.

To think they were in their early 20's when they were writing these masterpieces. My goodness; at that age I didn’t do anything productive! 😅
