Genesis Live Supper's Ready New York 1986

[@kev5621]

If you don't get chills while Phil is singing the last verse, you are not alive.

[@alvogeljr]

I love the guy in the crowd "SUPPERS READY!!" "YEAHHHHHH!!!!"

[@IggyNapster]

I love that, too! His enthusiasm is infectious. ^_^

[@alvogeljr]

@@IggyNapster I didn't know the song when I saw Genesis in 86... but it was the only song that stood out. Those Moog Taurus bass pedals caved in my chest.

[@bkbeban]

At 4:26 Phil: "And it's..." Fan: "Yeeeeeeeeeah!" Nice to see that there is at least one person in that audience that wasn't there for Invisible Touch. In 1986, SR was "only" 14 years old when IT was at #1 on the charts. Today, IT is 26 years old. Crazy.

[@barking_mad6649]

The crowd reaction says all you need to know about the importance of the song to Genesis and their fans.

[@mathmss]

Imagine go to a Genesis concert in 86, in the supporting tour for their most pop record (probably one of the poppiest records of all time!) and get this... It's just insane.

[@salmacis81]

I don't have anything against the "pop ages". I even like it but fuck you're right!

[@johnnyjohntheschemindreame9193]

I came here when I looked up the fact that this was played on this tour... Had to see it to believe. hahaha radical stuff. how do you go from in Too Deep to Supper's Ready? A great trick to play on your girlfriend for sure... at this point Genesis fans likely had girlfriends and wives... I'm sure.

[@brianjlevine]

I like Daryl's work, but Hackett is sorely missing on the end of this.

[@peterharrison699]

It is pop rock record with occasional progressive and experimental moments in it - that wouldn't make it "one of the poppiest records of all time" (whatever that means).

[@Madman007]

@@brianjlevine That riff after "There's an angel standing in the sun" always gets to me, but Hackett made it more emotional.

[@stevedrums1675]

Phil, unfairly, gets a lot of flack of changing the band's directions too harshly. But the reality is that he was the one who pushed for songs like "Supper's Ready" to be kept alive in it's entirety. When pressed, he'll admit that 'the Lamb' is his favorite Genesis album. He never was the anti "old Genesis" people thought he was.

[@kallelaakso130]

Phil didn’t change anything. It was the three of them equally responsible of the output.

[@MagnumMuscle1000]

Mike and Tony explicitly stated that they wanted to make hit songs. They were tired of working hard and not making big money. It's a testament to their talent and hard work that they just decided to write hits and then those songs became hits. I don't begrudge them any of it as they wrote at least 8 excellent progressive rock albums before they decided to go pop.

[@Rondo2ooo]

@Magnum Muscle One of the few good and true comments about this topic.

[@SolarMusicZ]

But only 1/3 of Suppers Ready was played here.

[@stevedrums1675]

@@SolarMusicZ: It was what was decided on. Tony & Mike didn't want to play the whole of it as they felt that 23 minutes or so on one song was too much. Plus, they were at their commercial peak at that time.

[@vinnykster]

I love the crowd reaction when the 9/8 riff kicks in. They went absolutely bonkers! And rightfully so! Suppers Ready rules!

[@enchilada5006]

I saw Genesis in L.A. and the crowd went nuts when they played this...What a memory!

[@LightningBoltForever]

I love the audience's enthusiasm. You can even hear somebody excitedly shout "Supper's Ready!" at about 4 seconds in. Fantastic concert.

[@IggyNapster]

Right?! Could you imagine being at that concert? Holy cow! I wish I had a time machine so I could see this one or any from the 70s; I only got to see them in 2007 when I was in college. I get goose bumps every time I listen to this song, especially in the last two movements!

[@Madman007]

Am I the only one who tears up at the end of this powerfully epic song?

[@perromanchado]

Me too.

[@christopherbowen7816]

Make it three Andrew. I had a cassette of this concert from an American show called the King biscuit flower hour. Played this song so many times in the car, would always sing it with the tears starting to flow. Went to one of the Wembley 1987 gigs,,, would have loved them to have done this. I would probably have welled up in front of 72,000 people. What a piece of musical magic. Phil put so much effort into this segment.

[@funklover24]

A flower? :D

[@DanceOfTheDawn5963]

Hell no

[@MIACAIMAI]

Nope, the was 50 of us from the Genesis UK fan club there that week and personally my head fell off at that point along with 49 others, amazing show and an amazing trip, New York forever in my heart💖💖💖💖

[@CampaignPictures]

I return to this clip at least quarterly. No matter the quality, it is perfection.

[@Madman007]

I'm willing to bet that the young ones who were there just to hear Invisible Touch became even bigger Genesis fans after hearing this.

[@yesshows100]

True. They played Madison Square Garden in NYC, 9/29, 9/30, 10/1,10/2,10/3 1986. I was at 9/29 & 9/30. The teenagers in front of me night 1 thought they were hit by a mack truck when they did this. They were in shock, and had no idea that this is 8 minutes of a 23 minute all time epic. For them In The Cage/In that Quiet Earth/Apocalypse in 9/8 were all 1 long epic. They thought they would see Phil sing In The air Tonight. I told them NOT TONIGHT!!!!

[@marvinlewis2144]

And the back catalogue sales rocketed in New York city .

[@salmacis81]

man... you are fucking right!

[@petergreen2552]

I'd have preferred to have seen Genesis play live and not do any of the radio friendly material. The full Supper for starters would be essential

[@Jurassic_jack]

Phil's vocal here is fucking awesome!

[@paulrob2006]

I almost cried when they started playing this at the 86 show. My favorite Genesis piece.

[@88BigEtrain]

Listen in to the passage of the Apocalypse in 9/8 between 1:55 - 2:14 when my boy Phil's divine drumming is accompanied by the Tony's organs sound. I have personally not heard anything in my entire life, thus far anyway, that would be more emotional orgasm inducing than this duo's unprecedented instrumental pinnacle of sound and rhythm. Every time Tony has a prominent part in any Genesis instrumental performance, one instantly detects the marvelous synchronization he has with Phil. The outcomes have always been above and beyond epic, eternal and enduring classics.

[@leocrooks111]

+88BigEtrain Your boy Phil is pretty impressive

[@CoTeCiOtm]

Don't leave out Chester out of that. In fact, what makes that segment so brilliant drum-wise is that the tom fills they do, they alternate who plays, so Phil hits a tom twice, then Chester hits one twice and so and so forth, when done in combination you get that continuous run of tom fills. They did that kind of thing a lot and it was made Genesis live so interesting!

[@67philipo]

We’ll never see a live band of this awesomeness again - Apocalypse in 9/8 is just sublime.

[@BenRagunton]

I was one of the lucky ones who got to see them perform Supper's Ready fro this tour.

[@briane5706]

Ben Ragunton I think I’m luckier as I saw Genesis in 1974 with Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett in the band. Supper’s Ready was the piece de resistance. and Peter was just amazing with his costumes and masks.

[@dennishuyvaert4509]

I also saw this is ‘86 in Chicago. It was pure heaven.

[@2011Appleman]

Phil actually wanted to perform the entire suppers ready song on the invisible touch tour but the rest of the band voted against it so they went with this. At least some of Suppers ready was something for this tour. :)

[@GenesisFan01]

[@illegalalien2]

Isn't it funny that THIS song got more applause than Lets Say In Too Deep or Invisible Touch? Really a shame that it was left out and that there is no Proshot of this Performance... And Great to see some people in the upper left corner listening to the concert :D

They played Madison Square Garden in NYC, 9/29, 9/30, 10/1,10/2,10/3 1986. I was at 9/29 & 9/30. When they went into Apocalypse in 9/8, IT WAS TOTAL CROWD PANDAMONIUM!!

To me this is the best Genesis video on KZbin. Pure magic !

[@a.leonardosoaresdossantos7715]

Simply awesome, the sound and the extrordinary music of Genesis changed my life.

[@allen-rp3gm]

This footage, shot by me was filmed on 10/1/86. I had attended the two previous nights to get an idea of how best to shoot the show. There was a nasty woman sitting to my right that kept trying to deliberately get in the way of the camera. Thankfully she must have been a "new Genesis" fan because she went away during the "oldies" portion of the show. For the most part I was able to zoom to Darryl's side of the stage to avoid her when she got fiesty. At one point on the tape you can hear me say to her "can you please stop it already" to which she replied NO! My friend who accompanied me to these concerts would periodically massage my main camera arm while I held the camera with the opposite hand to rest. I took making good, steady videos very seriously back then. Back in 1986 videocameras were big stupid devices. My sure fire way of never getting caught entering the arena? It's kinda gross but I would put a shitted up pair of underwear on top of the clothes that concealed the camera in my bag. Whenever security would open my bag they'd see the shitty draws and push me through without a search of the bag. Worked all the time. At some point in the future I will upload the entire gig from the master tapes.

[@were2120]

Please upload your transfer from the master tapes, it would be greatly appreciated!!! If you'd like to contact me privately for a trade, just send me a message. I have lots of other Genesis recordings. Maybe you are plannig to upload the footage to tradersden or dimeadozen or genesismovement?

[@ceazea]

I must say you have, as far as I know, one of the last videos of this band playing Supper's Ready, period!. It was during the US leg of the tour Phil list his voice enough where he couldn't keep pulling it off every night. By the time the live video was recorded at Wembly on the 4th of July 87' to close out the tour, this had been long replaced. Who cares about the quality, it's good enough to see. Prior to this it was the King Biscuit recordings to hear another epic Qiet Slumbers, which kicked ass. All of these are simply the best piece of music ever recorded , PERIOD!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us. It's so incredible to see as someone who was too young to go to this show at the time. If anyone else has more than this footage, please let me know. Cheers

[@aguitarrman5867]

I saw this opening night at MSG '86. I waited overnight in line to get tickets for this show and experiencing this version of the In The Cage Medley where they played the last 2 sections of Supper's Ready made it all worth it! Funny thing was this was the first time I'd ever heard it, since I was not familiar with Foxtrot. The albums I had before the 'Three' era, were Selling England, Lamb, Trick & W&W. So I was not familiar with this at all! Needless to say this piece of music has had a profound and lasting impact on me musically. What an experience, I will never forget!

[@aMan-or9ij]

I was at the Monday night show, too. Phenomenal concert, though the Forest Hills Tennis Center shows were my all-time favorite - and they played Suppers Ready in its entirety! So glad they played the end of it in '86 - Apocalypse 9/8 section is my favorite section of any Genesis song. Was supposed to see the Friday night show but wound up ticketless. Worst night of my teenage years.

[@aguitarrman5867]

@@aMan-or9ij I remember after the medley had ended, I was just in awe over what I'd just listened to, this may be the greatest piece of music my 21yo ears had ever heard live, people were totally in love with it. Then they went into Invisible Touch, and I could hear many people saying NOOOOO!!! Right where I was sitting! Very disappointing, almost like watching the death of the great Genesis right before our eyes... That's what they should have ended the show with, I mean how can they top the closing sections of Supper's Ready? IMO it's their best piece of music!

So true. I get sick of people who are so close-minded about Collins that they can't even admit that he sang the closing sections of Supper's Ready better than Gabriel, especially once Phil got that raspy edge in the 1980s to go along with his ability to hit high notes. Seeing them do this song in its entirety on the 1982 Encore tour was the most powerful experience I ever had at a concert. Simply awe-inspiring.

[@CoTeCiOtm]

That guy that screams SUPPER'S READY!!!!!... if I had been there I would have screamed that as well. There's a soundboard recording of the first MSG show on this tour that even without any ambient mics, you can hear the crowd absolutely losing it when Supper's kicks in. I'd wish there was a soundboard available for this particular show, making a matrix with the audio from the video footage would've been very interesting. Oh, and by the way, after this absolute masterpiece, they played Invisible Touch haha!

Collins really wanted to do Suppers Ready on the 1992 tour but Banks and Rutherford said no. The most interesting thing is that Steve Hackett's version on GR2 is dropped down to the same key as the "As sure as Eggs....."....they'd have been able to do that!

@@bobbywillis1466 Absolutely, I think Mike's and Tony got lazy and leaned on Phil's talent a lot which would explain the relative lack of technical effort they put in after 1982, while Phil just kills it on drums and vocals in 1986 and 1987.

@@bobbywillis1466 You know, I have a feeling that Phil was the magical ingredient in the band since late 1970 when he joined. He was the glue that held it together.

[@88BigEtrain]

To all Peter Gabriel fans, Peter is a wonderful singer and a musician, but he's nowhere near my boy Phil's greatness. Frankly, no one is. Everything Phil touches, attempts, or, even covers, is epic, genius, legendary and cannot be surpassed. During 1980's, he owned the music industry, and everyone who meant anything in the business at that time, would have Phil participate in their projects, in any way possible. Phil is the best male singer of all time, bar none. His voice range is out of reach for everyone else. Look at that phenomenal drumming as well. Above and beyond other drummers' abilities. Phil is so shamelessly sick in everything he does behind his drum set. Phil not only saved Genesis, but he made it into what I think is the most well rounded band of all time. The fact that he was even more successful with his solo career, is outright hard to wrap one's mind around.

[@Bentom86]

88BigEtrain Amen! Can't say it any better than you did. Peter truly was great, but he left the band and people need to get over it. Most groups would have packed it in after losing both Gabriel and Hackett, but instead Phil, Tony, & Mike are responsible for the greatest resurrection ever for a band. There's no question that Phil was the better all-around performer, but REAL Genesis fans know that both guys were great in their 'own special way' (to quote a certain song from Wind and Wuthering).

[@Dream90010]

Genesis was Peter Gabriel. With Phil it was a translation of Genesis but he was holy and could add few prophechy, which is accepted as rest of the story. Grab a guitar you will find "wish you were here" in "another day in the paradise" in two minutes. But it's not the end. The end is A broadway show. Genesis to Revelation with original track of fifth of firth without the small satanic, wicked 5 notes extension, forcing the spirit to live the building. A show with gabriel, phill and rest. This will be done soon. I hope meeting them alive there.

No - if you don't chills from hearing Supper's Ready at all then there's something wrong with you!

[@88BigEtrain]

This should be constantly presented in Psychology of Sport and Performance classes as an example of what it means to be in the zone. My boy Phil demonstrates to the world of music what it looks like when the greatest drummer of all time is so absorbed and lost in his performance, that not even burning and on fire MSG would stop him from playing drums to this epic piece by Genesis. This is utterly ridiculous, beyond epic drumming and vocal performance by him. Above and beyond all other "human" musicians' capabilities. As if the performance was not already beyond epic enough, my boy enhances it by drumming with white gloves on. God, I just love it!

Then they come to DC, they get to the part in the medley where it's supposed to kick in, and instead it's . . . Afterglow.

I only have their two box sets, The Movie Box and the Box set covering the 80's. thought maybe these performances could be in the other two I don't have, looks like that's that's not the case. Thanks again for your info!

He does end of suppers ready on 50min live concert in 1976,take a look!! BRILLIANT!!👍❤️❤️🙏

It’s funny to think that at this point in time , the song was only 14 years old. Im sure it seemed like some ancient relic to the band (and fans) when really fourteen years is not that long.

Yeah odd to think that as I type this it nearly as close to its release than we are now to the last time Genesis played live.

@sharethemusic Hi Andy. OK. They played MSG 5 nights in a row. I was there for nights 1 & 2. I jumped out of my shoes when they went into this. In 1987 we got sick when they went into Afterglow instead. Citrus Bowl & Orange Bowl. As if you didn't know this already.

I was at both the 9/28/86 and 10/3/86 shows at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Search - Genesis , JFK stadium to see entire "Suppers Ready" performed 8/21/82 on youtube..

Saw this very thing at the old Philly Spectrum. One of the few Apocalypse in 9/8 they put out. I distinctly remember Phil playing a “then” brand new maple finished Gretsch kit. He mostly used his white or black ones.
