Should have been on Seconds Out!

[@peterthomsen4960]

I agree... But Seconds Out was recorded in Paris.

[@davidpancerev9658]

Wonder why it was not included on Seconds..the wind & wuthering tour, no less.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@peterthomsen4960not all of it.

[@Jodokusable]

Yes, but the band didn't like Steve's guitar anymore

[@Jpeterson7]

@@Jodokusable Who told you that? Certainly not the band.

[@jackalexander209]

Great version of one of my favourite tracks. The extra speed of the live version works well too.

[@scrambaba]

It works yes, but still feels like rushing through it…speeding up a track in concert usually means someone in the band doesn‘t like playing it (any guesses who, in this case?)or they are sick of playing it (seems unlikely at this point).

[@MrDodgedollar]

@@scrambabayes a little too fast needlessly

[@MiroPribanic]

@@scrambaba it is usually the drummer who gives the clicks....I am not quite sure, but I think in those days drummers did not have the in-ear-devices to fix the exact tempo, or did they?

[@wazungus]

Saw Genesis perform in Paris in 1978, and the music and light show was outstanding

[@greyblenaut]

its an actual crime that there is no official release of this version, I wish every version of this song was this tempo

[@cigarmerchant2238]

Saw Genesis LIVE at the FOX in Atlanta GA in 1974 play the Genesis Live album in its entirety. I saw Genesis play live one day so satisfied I saw them play...

[@MrJeffqv]

Best live album, ever!

[@carologiwan501]

Wow, great recording! I'll have to listen to that one again...

[@PeterMayer]

The glissando that Steve does in the intro is still wicked sounding after all these years

[@Frank-q4g]

saw them at the rainbow wind and wuthering tour so lucky so many great bands around at the time

[@marcthonon9527]

Talk about a band flying ... jaw dropping version

[@davychanteur9430]

awesome ... drums and mellotron 8 voices

[@tdom2957]

FINALLY the Mighty Mellotron is mentioned!!!! 👍👍👍

[@stuartwaby3081]

Hackett has proved to be the heart and soul of Genesis, they should have changed their name after he left or paid him double to stay ,his revisited concerts are every bit as exciting as the original band ❤

[@timlinnell4559]

Hackett was/is one of the truly great musical colourists. Arguably that was his greatest contribution, much more than as a songwriter within Genesis, but he wasn't able to tolerate second rank status in that regard.

[@PressureOnJulian]

If any individual is the heart and soul of Genesis, it is Tony Banks. Hackett’s influence on the band was fairly small, which is why he left. I don’t find his covers band very exciting at all….the music is alive and well with the vast array of recordings like this one.

[@stuartwaby3081]

@@PressureOnJulian Er this recording has got Steve on it!!! Thank you for your very misinformed and dull opinion which i'm sure nobody could care less about.

[@francescomazzilli8925]

Incredible amazing version

[@mikepotts6117]

I was at Earl's Court for this show :) magnificent!!!

[@danvitco771]

Music on a whole other level.

[@benmen8699]

SECONDS OUT CAPTURED THIS LINUP OF GENESIS AT THE PEAK OF THEIR PROG POWERS AND THEY WERE JUST ON FIRE. PHIL COLLINS VOCALS FIT THE MUSIC BETTER VOCALLY AND DYNAMICALLY AND I LIKE THE WAY HE PHRASED THE LYRICS BETTER THAN GABRIEL

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

I think it depends what live versions of songs that Peter and Phil sung for the phrasing of vocals etc, there are some live versions of suppers ready that I love peters version, I think Phil absolutely nailed the ending of SR on the 76 recording that was filmed where they just did a SR pt 2 version. It just was one of those shivers up the spine moments.

[@benmen8699]

RE RELEASE SECONDS OUT AND INCUDE THIS LIVE TRACK NOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@davidsavage6910]

Awesome drums.

Brilliant

[@brettpalfrey4665]

I wish I had seen Genesis back then..If only Phil had persuaded Steve to get in his car on the way to the mixing of Seconds Out...

[@paulgogo4985]

Chester is amazing.

[@stargate1555]

The three bands that always had a great concert sound system back then was Genesis, Yes, and Jethro Tull. The loudest band I ever saw was Areosmith......holy moly. Led Zeppelin always sounded corny live and it was like they were messed up (probably due to Jimmy Page's heroin addiction) . Black Sabbath rocked and Deep Purple were always genuine. The best concert I went to was Procol Harum, Golden Earing, & Poco. Hardly anyone showed up. They told everyone to come down to the floor and they announced they were going to rock our socks off just for showing up.. Holy moly. Boy oh boy was that a show or what. Houston circa 1974.

[@roughtakes7271]

Great take man. As Toni Iommi said of Sabbath excluding the vocalist and drums theres only 2 instruments really creating the backing sound and I think this is true of Led Zeppelin also. So the other bands you mentioned had a lot more tonality because of more musicians so likely sounded better live. Out of Iommi and Page I feel although Page is arguably more technical I think Iommi fills the sound spectrum better with his blazing riffs and full on sound. I always go back to listen to Sabbath but struggle with Led Zeppelin as a lot of their stuff is kinda a difficult listen....(although composition wise they are excellent)

[@stargate1555]

@@roughtakes7271 I agree with you. I admire the Led Zeppelin studio albums....good stuff. But live, Led Zeppelin was trashy. Ditto to all your other points.

[@saintalfonzo550]

Pink Floyd always had Great sound as did Supertramp

[@jongodwin2877]

Awesome.

[@PeterMayer]

This is the king biscuit flower hour broadcast concert, right? I played the hell out of that recording. Saw this tour in March of 1977, my senior year of high school. Drove from Cincinnati to Nashville in the VW. Four of us. It was $4. So when this was on the radio, king biscuit flower, I recorded it and played the hell out of it

[@mikeshaffer4912]

Talk about a bucket list concert! That's awesome!

[@MrDodgedollar]

Classic rock

[@benmen8699]

THEY WERE THE OPENING ACT FOR VANDERGRAFF GENERATOR IN THE EARLY 70s

[@oiramsq73]

Seconds Out should have been a triple album... It could have included this and One For The Vine... maybe Blood On The Rooftops... I've listened to quite a few shows posted on line from 76/77... there were some incredible performances. Thank you for sharing this.

[@bfdmudk]

Agreed. Except they never played "Blood On The Rooftops" live. But "One For The Vine" as you mention and "All In A Mouse's Night" and "Inside and Out" - not to mention "In That Quiet Earth" (and "Wot Gorilla" just once). They have the master tapes in the vaults...

[@richardconnold5207]

Dare we dream that one day, one happy day, Six Of The Best will be released?

[@PeterMayer]

Did they do a few lines before they played this song? Tempo is flying

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

[@PeterMayer]

The mellotron. What can you say?

[@davidpancerev9658]

Viva 'Tron !

[@gyppy1715]

dont think Mike wrote all the lyrics--I think the quiet part in the middle was written by Steve--music and lyrics.

[@oneforthevine1]

Just check the documents. Mike conceived the story, wrote the lyrics and was the main ideologist of the song. As he said in his autobiography, Earl of Mar was one of his main inputs in Wind and Wuthering.

[@AdamDeanMusic]

Michael Anthony is correct: Steve wrote the music and lyrics to the middle bit. The man has said so himself. Mike did write the rest of the lyrics, and the story idea/concept is his. Basically, the song is: Music-Banks/Hackett; Lyrics-Rutherford/Hackett

[@altresjoe]

Steve's bit was called The House and Four Winds before being incorporated into EEoM

[@benmen8699]

THEY SHOUD RE RELEASE SECONDS OUT WITH THIS SONG ON IT FIRST RIGHT BEFORE SQUONK

[@ldrzic4472]

ce morceau n'est pas sur l'album second out.....

[@tdom2957]

The end of their best Prog period, it all changed after Wind and Wuthering 😟

[@WintersWar]

so true, the prog ruins and wreckage started at ATTWT. but they could still give us a bone now and then in future albums.

[@ocean686]

@@WintersWar ATTWT was still good prog even though 1 song charted in singles. A fav album of Collins

[@Drchainsaw77]

Seconds Out should have been a triple album. Just sayin'......

[@WintersWar]

This one is on spot. They never could get it right after Hackett left.

[@roughtakes7271]

I've been listening a lot to Steve Hackett doing the old Genesis material over the last few years and when you hear his guitar work you realise just how integral he is to the Genesis sound. Although Daryl Stuermer is an amazing guitarist there's just special nuances to the way Hackett plays and sounds....

[@ocean686]

Hackett was like the water boy, and contributed little. Saw Gabriel the other night with 20k fans doing new 2023 stuff - Mike and his Mechanics touring, Banks doing film scores, but Hackett is like some Genesis tribute (far less creative than the others with little solo success)

[@altresjoe]

​@@ocean686That's plainly bollocks - Steve has a more successful solo career than Tony Banks in addition to being the only one who can still do the early Genesis stuff justice.
