[@kevbob]

I was able to see this tour in Berkeley at the Greek. When it was clear this was going to be played, I was floored- I never thought they would pull this out. The friends I was with didn't know this song, but I knew it backwards and forwards. I feel about half or more of the audience didn't know it. When they got to Apocalypse in 9/8, you could see their faces in awe of the sheer power of the band and for As Sure as Eggs is Eggs, they were lit up- and the hair on my arms and neck was standing straight up. I would love to go back in time and experience that again. I saw Steve Hackett do it on tour a couple years ago, and it was lovely, but still didn't do what the 1982 performance of it did for me. I will never forget it.

[@242-f5u]

This song is absolutely like no other. There have been long songs (this being 23 minutes plus), but there are none that have the time changes, stories mixed in. It absolutely is rock and roll at a higher level than most any band ever pulled off. Apocalypse in 9/8 can stand up to any rock instrumental ever created, as far as I'm concerned. It is sensational and no matter how many times I've listened to it (I cannot even count), it always gives me chills.

Absolutely one song with so many different instruments and melody changes,its just a masterpiece! Can you imagine a mind coming up with this?incredible!

This song blew my mind when I saw it performed live in 1977 and it changed my world. By 1982 I was heading out on tour with Genesis and when I heard the guitars being tuned at the production rehearsals, I thought I had to be dreaming, but no. I was to blessed to be seeing the band rehearse Supper's Ready over the next few days before we headed out on tour to then see and hear it night after night. The shows at the Berkeley Greek Theatre were stand out nights for this track. Maybe it was the setting, but on those warm August nights with the Bay behind the stage, it was unbelievable for this 19 year old. I never heard a bad version and know I am beyond blessed to have watched them perform it night after night from stage side and other cool vantage points. I am also beyond blessed to own the drums Phil played that tour, so the memories of Supper's Ready and so many other cool tracks flood back every time I sit behind it. Thanks for posting this. 🙏👍😎

The Greeks are special place for shows. I lived in San Francisco and saw the Grateful Dead there many during the 80’s. I caught the show in Philly. Hearing Supper’s Ready blew me away. It was beautiful, mesmerizing, theatrical, and romantic. My first Genesis show. They delivered!

[@larrylanberg3552]

If it weren't for Phil Collins, an entire generation wouldn't have been introduced to the Gabriel era music. First came that solo Lp in early 1981. Then, the local stations started playing a lot of stuff off of Abacab. "That was Genesis, featuring Phil Collins," was the way they announced the songs, at least here. Then everyone started looking into the back catalog. Phil was the catalyst for Genesis getting well known.

[@WintersWar]

You nailed it. That is the exact route that lead me to old Genesis. After listening to 80's Collins I wanted to hear the 70's Phil drumming and singing. I went backwards.

[@SLARServet]

That's been my experience too, and I live far in the east.

[@davebellamy4867]

Kind of true for me. I remember hearing Abacab on the radio, possibly also Turn It On Again. A mate had Genesis Live 73 that he never played. This was summer 1983. I heard the Watcher intro and was fascinated and bought the album. Later in 1983 I saw the Three Sides Live In the Cage ciseo on local TV, so I ended up with Genesis Live and Three Sides Live as my first Genesis albums. The UK version if 3SL ended with Watcher so it went full circle. Seconds Out came a few months later. I was too late to have seen them in 82 at the reunion gig. What a bummer.

I think this was the first tour to use the Vari lights, and they were breathtaking...still the best light show I’ve ever seen. Makes me feel old and melancholy. Saw them every 2 years from 76 through 82, sometimes more than once per tour. What times they were!

[@TheBanMan]

Great memories! (Vari lites debuted on Abacab BTW IIRC)

[@a_cord]

This was the second tour with the Vari Lite system; the first was the 1981 Abacab tour

[@MrDhilrd]

I saw Genesis in Jan '84 Okc on the Mama tour. Mesmerizing is still the best word to describe the show. The majority of their hanging light array was a system call Vari-lite provided in partner with the sound company Show Co. The new Midi technology allowed triggering of the lights with the keys, as an example, that was amazing.

[@larrylanberg3552]

The audio is fantastic and makes for one of the best - if not the best - versions of "Apocalypse in 9/8" I've ever heard. You know, "Supper's Ready" just got better every time it was performed over the years. To me, anyway. All this ignorant jive about Phil Collins 'ruining Genesis' is nothing but a lack of perspective. The band improved during his tenure as front man.

[@BluezplayerAJ]

@@christophermitchell9877 My feelings as well. It was really good radio pop rock, but it was just that. Always understood that there were several different types of Genesis fans.. Those who knew and loved the PG era ( me ). Those who knew the PG and PC eras and like both ( I like a few of the PC offerings in spite of the obvious change of direction ). Those who know both and prefer the PC era. Those who barely or don't at all know at all about the PG era, including some who didn't know who PG was until he released more radio friendly music ( that admittedly I like a lot of ).

Wow! Thank you for sharing this, as I just happened to stumble across it. My first Genesis concert was Three Sides Live in 1982. At that time I was barely even familiar with Genesis and a friend asked me if I wanted to go see them, as he had two extra tickets second level front row side stage looking down on Phil and Chester Thompson. I'm a left handed drummer, and to see two kits from above, I knew I was in store for something pretty impressive. After watching them play the In the cage medley I was blown away. From that moment on they became my favorite band and I've never looked back. Hands down the best concert I have ever seen, so to see this video posted just took me back as though it was the first time again. Thank you so much for sharing this!

It was kind of surreal, 'cos I'd left a friend of mine halfway through a half-bottle of whisky, getting steadily more pissed. When I came back to the party, 3 hours later, my head still full of 'Supper's Ready', my friend was sitting in the shower, under the cold water, covered in vomit, having drunk a pint of milk to settle his stomach after drinking the whisky. I think we watched 'Phantasm' after that.

[@santibanks]

@@specialk8888 not sure if Phil really "fought" for it, they played it at the opening show of the UK indoor tour. But in hindsight, Tony and Mike were probably right to outvote it. I don't think Supper's ready would have worked in the context of a stadium show. And Tony was never really happy with just playing the louder second half. They pursued that idea in 1978 but dropped it at the rehearsal stage (or well I don't think it was ever on the 1978 set but I might be wrong). They did it from Apocalypse on in 86 and I think it worked in the context of the medley, but I'm not sure if Tony would agree. I do think that it would have worked in the UK tour given that these were mostly theatre shows (Earl's Court being the exception). But I guess that they didn't want to put effort in rehearsing it, bringing out additional equipment, programming additional sounds and light queues. They got the regular setlist memorised well so relearning like a quarter of your show is significant effort.

[@a_cord]

​​@@santibanks they actually played it in stadiums and big venues on the 1982 tour (see Philly, Pisa and Six Of The Best) and it worked very well there

[@santibanks]

@@a_cord Of course they already did that back in 1977 when they played football stadiums in Latin America. But I think those shows are exceptions. Genesis tours up till that point were targeting a specific size of venue which was smaller than what they targeted with the IT and WCD tours. It doesn't mean there are no exceptions (both smaller or larger sized, they did the Marquee club in 1982 and the Montreux casino in 1987. But it does not imply that the song actually "worked" in the context of the whole stadium show and for everybody in the audience. The size and layout of the venue and number of attendees are having an effect on how the show and the music is perceived but also on the course of the show. Not sure if you have been to the 2007 shows but Hold on my heart and Ripples were two tunes which did not work that well because they lose the focus of the audience. The front rows are engaged but it is pretty clear that people were running for more beer or to the toilet during those songs and plenty of people around me were just talking. If you have loud audiences (like in the USA), they will probably yell and babble through Lover's Leap and How dare I be so beautiful? It ruins the dynamic of the song if you are there as the audience is just not overpowered by the PA in those sections. If you listen to FM or Soundboard bootlegs, it all sounds fine because the band will play the song, they have their monitoring system, it doesn't really affect them (though Phil often jokes about HOMH as a toilet break, so I assume he does notice). But imagine standing in the back of Wembley stadium during Lover's leap…

I saw them on this tour at the Greek Theater in Berkeley, CA. After Phil's intro they played Horizons with Mike, Tony, and Daryl playing 12 strings, then went into Supper's Ready. I saw them three nights in a row.

[@TheBanMan]

Hmm... There are bootlegs of all 3 berkeley performances, and no Horizons. Maybe you mean the acoustic Lover's Leap section?

[@emma99hg]

@@TheBanMan Thank you, you are right. I went to the links and watched them. It was that section. I have always associated Horizons with Supper's Ready since I first listened to Foxtrot in '75 that my memory became a bit blurred. But it was still an amazing experience.

[@ianliverpool6623]

Absolutely wonderful

[@TheBanMan]

Thanks!

[@IslandDigital]

I was there !!!!!!!!!

[@laxpawermusic4740]

Love the Phil's laugh in the "Willow farm" part

[@lukaf2393]

I wish I was there.... but Supper's ready sang by Peter is another thing, with all respect to Phil.

[@lellosarti6842]

Absolutely...Genesis with Peter and Steve was another thing

[@franciscomunoz4413]

Hola amigo, escribo desde Chile. Es realmente Genial este video, una verdadera reliquia, una joya del rock, me encanta, te agradezco el que lo hayas compartido..Saludos...👍👍✌️✌️✌️

[@zebonaut]

Wow. I just realized that i never heard Daryl play Suppers ready in its entierety.. and never heard the middle Phil past his new found stage - and voice persona (which came with Duke and he got more assured of and in with Abacab) interpret the whole thing. This is really interesting. And new to me although i thought i heard all there is out there. Apart from that nice fucking up with the ONE of the flute melody of Tony at min. 20.21.. :)

[@Cirocamadini84]

I feel sorry for all the good people that do not know this gem.

[@petethebeat5649]

Saw this live, when they played in Hamburg...

[@kevinhackett9850]

Phil is "The Man"...on Supper's Ready..I like the live Phil versions over any of Peter's anyday.

[@davidanania5618]

I agree with you 100%. I love Peter’s voice, but Phil always owned this.

[@lekid5332]

No. It’s about the soul. Peter’s is as deep as the ocean he wrote and sang about. Phil’s an ordinary guy. It makes all the difference.

[@mariabaricevic3365]

@@lekid5332 I agree, though Phil’s voice always made Pater Gabriel’s voice sound better. It extended the notes and filled in where Peter’s was missing, but Peter sang this song about his wife and him, so the Lyrics, the story and the passion are his.

[@mikeklesic7535]

Agree

[@jeffjones9448]

I love Peter and Phil equally on any piece of music. Two Very similar voices yet diverse. Equal in talent and ability two different personalities.

[@danielequartapelle-daniele9605]

fantastic ! epic ! great job !

thanks billie eilish

[@paulwalker2777]

Best version I have heard was when they played Stafford Bingley Hall in summer of 1976,always remember there was a massive coconut mat on the floor,that night they played Suppers Ready and you could hear a pin drop,apart from "a flower" best Genesis gig I've seen,that night me and my ex- wife stayed in a local hotel called (wait for it) The Vine,it wasn't 1 for the vine it was 2 for the vine😂,was a great 2 days that,❤

[@mikeklesic7535]

The best live version

[@mikeklesic7535]

The echo in the one section is fabulous

[@jmartrinfour]

I can still hear the echoes in the Myriad in OKC

[@lucvalynseele7148]

very nice !!!

[@shyshift]

Key change? I never realized until this video that when they enter As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs is in the key of G, a whole step down. Yes does this on Close To The Edge since Yessongs and ELP did it on the live KarnEvil 9 for the vocals.

[@TheBanMan]

Good ear! If you've seen the January 1973 Bataclan footage and heard Peter's voice by the end of Supper's Ready, you can imagine why they lowered the key not long after. I never actually noticed that they kept the change with Phil, though.

[@shyshift]

MorbidManMusic I think you misunderstood me. On the Yessongs album they do lower the key one step down from Am to Gm. I noticed it right away. It occurs right after the last verse and the song ends on an Ab major chord but Chris morphs into Fm as it fades out to birds chirping. Don’t know why you even brought up The Gates Of Delirium at all.

[@evankeal]

Never a fan of the album version since sound quality was bad and it was too fast and sloppy jazzy overall, but it sounds better this way to me by familiarity now I guess.

[@markrae1317]

That's how they played since early 1973. You honestly didn't notice this on Seconds Out?

[@terrencereardon6374]

Tony Banks goes from 12 String Acoustic to the Yamaha CP-70 back to Acoustic to the Prophet-10 with touch of ARP Quadra on Band of Merry Men and keyboards for the rest. Mike Rutherford went from Ovation 12-string acoustic to a blue Strat to an Alembic bass guitar on Willow Farm to another Strat for the end. Daryl Stuermer started on a Martin 12-string acoustic then switched to his Suntec Strat in time for Guaranteed Eternal and the rest of the track.

[@brianjlevine]

Daryl's great, but Steve Hackett's guitar work at the end of this song is sorely missed.

[@MrKennyanders]

The good thing is that we can watch Steve's band play it which is also an epic performance.

[@Scottdrums]

Masterpiece!!

Phil doing a monty Python reference at the beginning

[@GuaranteedEtern]

Apparently Phil pitched the idea of doing Supper's Ready on the Invisible Touch or We Can't Dance tour but Tony and Mike nixed it????

[@GenesisFan01]

It was the We Can't Dance Tour, which would've marked the 20th anniversary of the song.

[@radcolortiedye6718]

What a shame.

[@korbangugel6721]

Why,,, oh why??.....

[@JeffFerguson]

My understanding is that, for the 1992 tour, Phil offered "Supper's Ready", but Mike and Tony said no, while Mike and Tony offered "Carpet Crawlers" and Phil said no. Thus, the Old Medley was born.

[@jadecole6918]

@@JeffFerguson I don't get why the supposed prog guys Mike and Tony said no to it - while the supposed pop sellout Phil Collins is the one that advocated it. I would have loved that I saw that tour in '92.

[@WintersWar]

The band didn't even need a nap after that.

[@evankeal]

Tony got some authentic flute sound on this tour, maybe a prophet with a bit of distortion?

[@MrKennyanders]

Could this be played on the Last Domino tour

[@botzhead]

A segment of it

[@gr.vo.3058]

Let's hope so. it was foretold for the time we are living in right now.
