Genesis Live 1976 with Bill Bruford: Supper's Ready (Pt. II)

[@MikeGervasi]

When people talk smack about Phil Collins, I think of this and the earlier incarnation of Genesis. For someone to step up and sing these songs as Phil did is nothing short of amazing. Add to that his stellar drumming abilities and you have a true musical legend. Shame people these days only know the "Disney" Phil.

[@jgaskell]

His awesomeness in 70s Genesis just makes his solo career even more baffling.

[@sluice]

This is Phil at his absolute best. The vocal at the end here is stunning.

[@krismurphy7711]

When facing the Old Debate of Was Peter or Phil best..... The Ultimate Test is "Supper's Ready LIVE"...and there is no comparison. Phil KILLS IT. Second Out Version is the only song I would pick if I could only pick one Genesis Song to listen to for the Rest of My Life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@amandabooth-b4f]

@@krismurphy7711 you got that right no comparison between Peter and Phil. Phil is the head man for genesis folks. Sorry Gabriel fans.

[@MikeGervasi]

I still find it amazing to return to this and think "How F'n LUCKY was Genesis to have a top notch singer in waiting behind the drums when Pete left?" The fact that he had the vocal abilities, range, and came from within are what saved them. As great as the band were I'm not positive another outside singer would have been welcomed like Phil was.

[@sluice]

The outro vocal here from Phil is one of the greatest live performances ever. Absolutely mindblowing.

[@psalmsurfer1]

finally, someone who qets it...congratulations you actually have an ear for music and recognize raw powerful vocals when you hear them.

[@Scottdrums]

I am right with you

[@SuppersReady8880]

I like the Seconds Out version a little better but they are both beyond awesome in their own nuances.

[@leggboots1742]

When PHIL was more Gabriel than Gabriel. .with Bruford and Hackett. .this was a supergroup.

[@dude1275]

I love Hackett's solo at the final section of this (all versions both live and recorded since he replicates it exquisitely every time)...one of my all-time favorite solos

[@rieske2000]

I always wish it would go on forever!

[@whataboutrob442]

Wow, a comment as old as KZbin itself.

[@242-f5u]

There's a reason they were consistently named the best live band during this period.

[@puppylover7117]

this band and this piece in particular is one of the reasons that I opened the Bible and read it...I will be forever grateful to them for that as well as for the remarkable music!!!

[@colindonington6568]

Because it's also true...the Lord of Lords, the King of Kings is coming for His own to that New Jerusalem . The Supper is indeed ready.

[@sjaakdewinter6258]

Two of the best drummers in the world in one band. Genesis forever. (fan since 1969)

[@OriTheEep]

Lots of abandoned Genesis fans stayed with Steve once he left. We haven't been disappointed. He's put out some brilliant music since.

[@mattwixted560]

A great piece of music. Bruford made this version exceptionally good.

[@PLATOON72]

Really!!!

[@sjaakdewinter6258]

+Matt Wixted Yep! 100 procent true.

[@tudvalstone]

He's awful, do you people have no taste? He may be really good, but not for Genesis, he's messing up these songs.

[@davo7461]

No....but he did clash with Collins style of drumming...two great drummers don't always mix..Chester Thompson was perfect really, totally Collins in style and technique but towed the line when Collins got back in the drum chair...Bruford was technically better than Thompson but the latter kept things going and he adapted to the 80's Pop version of the band...And I give him credit for that...eeerr nuff said

[@microbunny]

@@tudvalstone No drummer would ever say that. You have no idea what you're talking about

[@mhspiper]

@Hannover1980: Even as a fan who prefers Gabriel, I agree 100%. In his own way, Collins is just as good and there should be NO issue. Genesis is Genesis.

[@amandabooth6138]

I prefer phil collins over Gabriel. Don't get why people liked Peter better but actually phil can out sing Peter any day. Peter was way overrated and couldn't hit high notes as good as collins.

[@remingtonnathaniel6730]

instaBlaster

[@bobbrown8155]

I prefer Peter Gabriel. He is at a different level. More sophisticated. More nuanced.

[@PLATOON72]

Bill Bruford = pure genius.

[@teecee3866]

Hey there Bill

[@luckyrecords2565]

For Genesis sound Better Chester

[@David-iv6je]

@@luckyrecords2565 I reluctantly agree. I'm a huge Bruford fan. But he messes around too much for Genesis. That style works better with King Crimson.

[@mickflodden]

I was at the first concert in which Bruford played with the band and I can tell you it was really exciting watching Phil and Bill deak it out together during the climatic instrumental end to Supper's Ready ... still brings a tear to my eye ....

[@xa3phod]

Truly one of the best songs ever. The audience is stunned by the power of this song. I feel it every time I listen to it.

[@frinkmhey]

That shot of the girl sleeping is one of the strangest cut-away shots in a concert film I have ever seen.

[@pgzzz]

This is pure emotional music. As good as any rendition of suppers ready !

[@SuperDaz34]

one of the best live performances of suppers ready , simply stunning. As a drummer for me this is perfection, it has it all in this song. Just wish i could play as good as they do here

[@arkanoiddude]

I never heard Bruford specifically call Genesis more of a "pop" outfit, but I've heard him mention that one of the major reasons he didn't particularly enjoy his time with Genesis was that they wanted the songs played the same every night, whereas in Yes and (especially) King Crimson he had room to improvise.

[@FrogUncle264]

All three bands were better with his presence.

[@dukes6868]

35 years still listening to this all the time .... its special

[@peterhammer4644]

You really have to give Phil credit for this incredible performance, especially on the vocals. I N C R E D I B L E

[@phunkalicious4]

Phil's voice is awesome! I get chills hearing this live . I saw Genesis in 1976 and was in awe just like these concert goers on the video.

[@Jarnoparoni]

I had this video infront of my eyes when I saw Bill Bruford 6 years ago in a pub in Kaiserslauter/Germany when he played jazz in front of 30 - 40 peoples. He was sooo good! Never forget that evening in my life!

[@headman1953]

I have seen Genesis 8x . Each one was so amazing. The concert put you in a trance that lasted for days.Watching this again still gives me goose bumps at 57!

[@rembeadgc]

How could anybody except Phil have done these songs justice? He inhabited these songs and he let them inhabit him. He was such a dynamic performer!

[@ARVI64]

I saw Bruford with Crimson in Le club Montreal in the early 80 s. Man, you could not find a better drummer at that time. Avangardiste !

[@samuijule]

Ach wie schön, beste Musik und was hatte ich für ein Glück, sie live zu sehen. Bestens

[@anthonybielik287]

Smashing Bruford!!! Just smashing! Brilliant I say!!!

[@scrowley911]

Saw this tour and was amazed at the great sound. Truly a prog anthem.

[@brokerstalentos]

Bill Bruford & Steve Hackett...My god!

[@xla66]

From these guys and Yes I got my life lasting love for music. Thanks for the symphonic rock which blends quality and passion. And they've changed, yes, playing now pop songs and "lighter" music. But guys, we have to thank Phil, Peter, Jon, and so many others, for what they created in time. As Chris said, this was epic stuff!

[@ajesi]

This was MUSIC!!! This is still one one the best pieces ever seen! Great Genesis!

[@ChocloManx]

That drum duet is truly awesome.

[@binnyman]

What an amazingly powerful song. I saw this at a 'midnight movie' in the '70's, and thought I was dreaming it, until I saw it on KZbin. Thanks !!!

[@mrprogjazzgto]

WOW... AAAAAwesome performance. ! Bruford on drums and Phil singing!! This was a Super Band... Get well soon Phil..!

[@Loren_Law]

This video was hearing this song for the first time again. all the way down to the shivers.

[@sjaakdewinter6258]

Nothing wrong with Chester, but Bill brought something extra. I think the best performance of Supper s ready.

[@cosmojairzinho14]

Its Your favourite ..fair enough.. but please have a bit of humility. not the best. I don't see how this performance is better than ..let say: 1973 live at rainbow version. Bill bruford? ? Well the guy was not very keen on following the discipline required by genesis repertoire. So his performances were quite unpredictable. You can hear it on "as sure as eggs is eggs" he is clear off beat. No wonder why he gave up after one tour.

[@peterhammer6915]

maybe but not because of Bruford.

[@martinusdegrootste]

Bruford is the beat, the rest of the band can be off

[@luckyrecords2565]

Rainbow concert Is not good

[@maeu59]

Extra mistakes!

[@Anglagard1]

Phil gave it every bit as much as Peter. Still prefer the original, but I appreciate what Phil added.

[@farleyboy6445]

I also prefer the original, but having said that , Phil I think actually has a more melodic sound to the way he sings this song, he trails his lyrics at the end of them more than Peter did, and it seems to give the song a more mystical feel. When preformed live with a lot of volume, the band is like an earthquake of sound and emotion on this song, and I agree that it gives you an almost religious experience, because the emotion is so intense. When he sings the last verse I always have to fight back tears for some reason, and I am NOT religious at all. It just brings out emotion in me, and that as far as I am concerned, is what really good music is supposed to do, and they delivered with this song big time. Only Emerson Lake and Palmer can do that to me without lyrics.

[@carbootstudios2459]

Farley Boy Absolutely Agree 100,000%!

[@mikimini6400]

agree bro

[@Zestyclose-Big3127]

+James Rozoff And Bill too gave every bit as much as Phil....perhaps more.

[@carbootstudios2459]

+Amandelbroodjes Ya-Mian I guess so.

[@drj602]

Nothing compares to it!~ perfected now ..thank you Phil

[@gianninick]

absolutely the best genesis performance I have ever heard. I'm watching this video again and again every day.. I cannot find this "six hours live" anywhere..sigh

[@Biko856]

This is one of the best songs ever🤗 i Love it

[@nitramkrol1]

Die Band gibt Phil alles und er singt um seine Seele. Sehr authentisch, sehr ergreifend. Magisch, großer Augenblick.

[@lmazzenga]

I saw this tour at the Tower Theater in Philadelphia in April 1976, blew me away. And yes, these video clips are exactly what appeared on the overhead screens at these shows. Greatest band ever!

[@glennw53]

Amazing, the music with the visuals. The Mighty Bruford with Genesis. The Holy Triumvirate--- Genesis Yes King Crimson!

[@bigmig33]

One of my favorite "post-Peter" renditions of this classic. Never the same without the Pete, but nontheless, a lot of energy and emotion here. 3 thumbs up!!!

[@amandabooth6138]

Nick proto, Peter is gone and all of you still comparing Peter or collins get over it already. Like beating a dead horse.

[@michelelucco5118]

Consider that Peter has written very little, and most of the stuff came from Tony & Mike, so it's no sense in "Never the same without Peter".

[@amandabooth-b4f]

Sorry wouldn't have went anywhere with Gabriel and Collins made the band so much better.... that's why genesis was finally getting noticed.. Gabriel was bankrupting genesis and if left in charge there never would have been a genesis period.

[@sex6cult9revolution]

@@amandabooth-b4f Gabriel wasn't "in charge." And HE was the reason they first got noticed at all. A single documentary would clarify that for you. Sure, A Trick Of The Tail and the albums that followed were more accessible than The Lamb and archaic albums like Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot and that did help broaden their fan base. However, many of the fans were there in the first place because they heard stories of Peter running around in crazy costumes from older fans. And that was all the papers were talking about - understandably to the chagrin of the other members...

[@1Dynamohum]

Thanks for posting. I was listening to this on my way home from work today, fantastic track made better by Bill Bruford

[@deirfgeisllots]

I´ve seen them several times. But Bill Brufor on Drums was simply the greatest! And he still is....

[@SolarMusicZ]

very emotional video.....and the best music ever written.....it shows better than everything else, that this world is full of anger and hate.....

[@jeanschnur-yenchik6097]

I absolutely adore Phil’s Passion That shows in his eyes!! By the early 80’s I didn’t see it anymore for whatever reason. Maybe singing the songs over and over took that feeling away possibly. All he did was tour, solo and with Genesis of course. He/they will ALWAYS be number 1 in my heart and soul !!! Not a day goes by that I don’t listen to them, it wouldn’t be a good day if I didn’t !!! 🥰😘😍❤️🤘🏻🫶🏻🙏

[@brucifer0]

Never fails to give me chills no matter the version.

[@halflaifjee]

the only song in the world, except from the rain song by zeppelin, that can make me cry. it's just so incredibly beautiful and genious. thank you for this great upload

[@boasri]

Hackett is the Man that we have missed all these last years (or decades!).......

[@Khorpedon]

Jesus, I ruddy love Phil Collins x

[@scott53715]

Love Bill Bruford's drumming, and when Genesis added Lester and they duped on this song the drums were, I think as good or better but I think the original LP version drumming is the best especially the apocalypse in 9/11 time which could be the best drumming I've ever heard!!! Wish the whole Super's Ready was available for this live performance. So sad most folks will never hear it because radio stations suck more and more. Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@ScooterandSparky]

I too am glad for this... I'm an old schooler who enjoys the Post Duke stuff, but is entranced by the composition, talent, technique and theory that is Genesis of yore. Good to see "REAL" Genesis fans in the audience, those who sit and stare, grasping all they can from this aural/visual symphony. This should be considered "Modern" Classical Composition and should be required listening in Theory courses

[@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE]

Best performance of this I have ever heard. Incredible

[@hybrid8253]

This is the first time I watch this video, ...and now I know where Phil Collins' high point in life is, ...playing with Bill Bruford.

[@millsy2010]

Genius at work. Don't let anyone try and convince you otherwise!

[@andrewwillan3372]

I like the 76-77 version the best. Immaculately played, no goofs, incredibly performed by the band who were in my humble opinion, at their best then. With Bill Bruoford too, wow.! When I saw the film at the Futurist cinema on Lime Street, Liverpool, summer 1977, it blew my mind. And I don't mind saying, Phil was a god in my eyes then.

[@christaylor4851]

Pure emotion. This is as good as it gets. Wonderful song.

[@functionalschizophr]

true that...the lyrics and vocal melody are taken to the next level...this is why phil out from behind the drums...he delivers a pure soul performance....and great to hear bruford's interpretation on the drum line....I heard a rumor that the band did not care for his playing overall during the tour....Chester was a great second drummer for this version of Genesis....

[@glennaxt9721]

at 3:48 a typically Bruford ride on the China...i love it!

[@wildmanhawkes]

I read once that Phil and Bill didn't get along that well and that was why Bill didn't play but only a short time with GENESIS. Phil has a certain swing to his playing that Bill doesn't have. They are very differant. I love this video.

[@msholmes]

Totally and completely amazing!

[@BluDevil93]

I love Phil's stage presence here, even without any of the flamboyance and costumes he's still on Peter's level as far as showmanship goes.

[@adamtzsch]

Only a snippet of Supper's Ready, but one of the best. That 9/8 time signature blows my mind.

[@allyplumb]

Phil put his own mark on the songs and on stage, he didn't have to wear masks or run around the stage and his personality and charisma came out in his voice and expression..I am not keen on the road the band took in later years but I don't think that they would have been as successful if they had stayed stagnant doing 20 minute songs even though they were great.

[@johnchanatry9640]

As much passion as Peter, but i think Phil brings more soul.

[@functionalschizophr]

word!.....alot of Collins solo pop stuff is very catchy but the prog/classical music he did with Genesis brought out a moving vocal magic....especially here with the endtimes lyrics of Gabriel and arragement by the band....Brufords drums fit these types of songs great...which is why the early Yes stuff work so great....he puts in only what is needed....alot harder to judge than most would think...with the overplaying done by so many drummers that followed....
