...and then there were three [Tokyo 03-12-78] DVD

[@JEFF2010SSRS]

The First Genesis Concert I ever was in 1978 in Milwaukee Wisconin IL USA. I was 16. I have listened to Genesis since the Lamb when I was 12. I was Blessed to see Genesis 8 times in a row and Peter Gabriel 2 times-

[@kelvyn_araujo]

I cannot understand why this wonderful concert hasn't been released officially by the band. This should be a official dvd!

[@janpierzchala2004]

The music above was recorded live in a previous tour Seconds Out (2LP) just a couple of years earlier. No DVD from either of these tours.

[@janpierzchala2004]

I suppose the band quite rightly assess that Genesis is not as good to watch as say Pink Floyd, while the music is great

[@marklamp8354]

@@janpierzchala2004I disagree. Genesis live shows and visuals were top of the line awesome (not Pink Floyd caliber but not to be dismissed either).

[@janpierzchala2004]

I just wondered why they did not publish the famous Seconds Out tour in a video format, Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd were publishing and Genesis itself was when Gabriel was doing his theatrics. I believe they felt they're kind of boring to watch, perhaps because of some contrast to Gabriel spectacular gigs@@marklamp8354

[@janpierzchala2004]

PS Maybe when videos became popular Second Out wasn't really representative of what they were doing in the 80s (Wembley video was) and therefore they gave up on releasing Seconds Out video

[@ttmori2879]

This video brought me back 45 years of time to the moment of this Tokyo tour. All sensation have returned as if I returned to the day. Thank you very much.

[@tanyaorr4733]

What a great show tour- really wonderful version of I Know What I Like ...always loved the throwback of Stagnation within... From Phil's getting the crowd in unison, Daryl just blazing on guitar, Chester driving with some really remarkable drum playing this tour always maked a really tight time for the band...

[@studioeb2022]

懐かしい。このコンサート行った。凄かった。

[@hogweed1975]

This is the trip that broke Phil's first marriage. His wife threatened that if he were to go to Japan that year, the marriage would be over. He went anyway. Phil himself has stated that he was drunk the whole time he was there.

[@lisamoroney3036]

Wow. He’s had a few marriages ☺️

[@MrHfisher]

Its also where he picked up the first Roland CR-78

[@theaudioeng]

@MrHfisher So that definitely sounds like the best decision he made back in that time period = 1st solo album Face Value with iconic In the Air Tonight 👍

[@MrUsermister]

23:11 "Phil himself has stated that he was drunk the whole time he was there" ...

[@PH-pn2yu]

Phil has also stated that he has only once performed while drunk (Steve Hackett's first show with Genesis. Phil was mortified, thinking what Steve must have thought about his unprofessionaliam. He has stated that was the first, and the last, time he ever performed while drunk.) He did drink a lot in Japan on this tour, but was never drunk when working. Regarding 23:11 in this video, Phil frequently messed with Mike Rutherford like that to try and make him laugh and goof up. 😁

[@2dan4me97]

it's really interesting watching Phil sing on this one, because his presence is closer to himself in the 80s, but his voice is still on the softer side as with the rest of the 70s

[@evankeal]

He didnt quite figure out the aggressive vocal fry and confidence until 80. But yeah the presence is in top form already.

[@bent2]

I think the 1978 and 1981 world tours was the best for Genesis. And I really like their Prog-years best. But they sounded really confident and musically tight on those tours. The set lists they had for those tours was also very good and balanced. Covering a lot of ground. And Then There Were Three tour has the best versions of Eleventh Earl, One for the Vine, The Cinema Show and The Fountain of Salmacis.

[@pajamasflannel]

Cool...the last show genesis would play in the 1970s

[@stuartwaby3081]

Good tour ,saw them headline Knebworth, nowhere near as good as the Wind And Wuthering tour or the preceding shows, they lost their virtuoso Guitarist and never reached those heights again, very sad, but we did get Steve's solo shows and he's still touring all the Genesis classics to this day while his former bandmates have retired ❤

[@gyppy1715]

Daryl just never does it for me on the guitar parts--not that he isn't a great guitarist just doesn't have the total mysterious feel I like in a Genesis song

[@seanmcaleavy2369]

I agree, with an exception, I have seen a version of Dance on a Volcano from this same 78 tour(maybe this same show) that he kicks ass on, The whole band was smoking hot. People kind of freak out when I say this but I think the loss of Steve Hackett affected their sound more than the loss of Peter Gabriel. When Hackett left he took with him that beautiful, otherworldly guitar voicing that is pretty much unique to him. His unconventional way of playing always sounded to me like he was having a conversation with God. Playing his parts as if it were a heavenly call and response

[@seanmcaleavy2369]

Yes, it was the same show. I have never seen a better version of this Dance on a Volcano. Not the best recording, but the energy is intense!

[@mico5678]

Sean McAleavy I totally agree with you about the loss of Hackett and the consequences of that on the later sound of the band

[@mariojorgecaeiro]

Absolutely.

[@stuartwaby3081]

Steve's still going strong and playing the Genesis classics the way they were always meant to be played...in their entirety! His band are absolutely first class and nail it every night. Phil has said that they should have changed the name after Steve left because the spirit of Genesis left with him, i completely agree 👍

[@gjdc]

@@MrJomakie but home by the sea did prove to be a live hit

[@MrJomakie]

@@2011Appleman I just like the stuff that was less traditional and ordinary. Any song by Genesis that was over 5 min long, I wanted to hear, because it was the stuff where they put more thought and more of their talent into. Just like Rush, Pink Floyd etc. .. I think these bands were forced into commercial by organizers who were kinda corporate types. Not Good. still its all good.

[@bent2]

Interesting note! Those concerts in Japan was the final straw for Collins first marriage. He refused to take his wife with him, and actually ditched her on the airport before leaving for Japan after an argument. I have read an interview with Andrea from recently telling about this specific detail. Seams he didn't care much for having a wife and a child when the band hit big. He wanted to live the "single" life while on tour apparently. Collins was very selfish and a jerk back then. Maybe he couldn't cope with the pressure of being a frontman in the band. She said his personality changed when he took over as frontman for the band.

[@fibboobbif]

Right. He was pretty much of an asshole... but also a genious, like Peter... Thats why the could not be in the same band any more after those early years until the lamb. I read an interview after he joined "The Musical Box" in Geneve, rehearsing and struggling for many hours, playing one song with them, and he still said those tunes are history for him.... even after having great respect for that band, the performance and the drummer Martin. LOL, some time after that he went on the big tour and played the old stuff again... I think that evening at Geneve made him respect the old Genesis work, and even his own quality of playing that he hardly could reach again after ll those commercial stuff..

[@arleco12]

This is not interesting at all. You've just took the time to write all this negative assessments based on the comments of his ex wife. That's pretty stupid, if you ask me.

[@seanmcaleavy2369]

@@arleco12 It certainly is interesting to anyone who finds it interesting. It is a window into the history of the band from a different perspective from somebody who lived it. Who could possibly be closer to Phil if not his own wife? It is hardly stupid, and nobody did ask you.

[@seanmcaleavy2369]

@@halcyon289 Yeah, no shit! It was Mike and Tony steering the ship after Peter left. But the whole debate over which version of the band was best is a boring, worn out, waste of time and energy. I absolutely love both versions. And making Phil the scapegoat to pile blame on because somebody has a subconscious nostalgic longing for their spent youth is ridiculous. Phil was a great musician with an awesome gift for melody. He infused the songs he sang with as much personality as Peter and without the aid of costumes and stage props. Not to take away anything from Peter, because they were both great. Literally great!
