I know Phil, Mike and Tony are a class act, but in 1976 (I saw this tour), the icing on the cake was Steve Hackett. He added SO much to early-era Genesis. I've seen him multiple times since (and Mike, and indeed Genesis as whole), but wow he can make a guitar do things (soulful, technical, beautiful) that few guitarists could ever hope to match. Love the guy.

[@SuppersReady8880]

Totally agree, and he's a truly nice person also.

[@AudioAtmos]

Not only was Steve on equal ground musically, but he had a great ability to think out of the box and experiment.

[@WillieWonka928D]

I love all eras of Genesis but it's extremely hard for me to deny that when Steve left they lost something special. Peter's departure wasn't a huge loss for me because the band more than made up for it with ATOTT and W&W but Steve's departure they definitely lost something. As much as I love their 80s output nothing they put out then can match Wind & Wuthering, that album was their peak for me.

[@martinparro6683]

When Steve left it was, musically speaking, the beginning of the end for Genesis.

Ya lo creo!! Y me emociona saber que Phil lo admiraba mucho a Bill. Era un referente para él. De hecho, Phil fue uno de los que sugirió su presencia en la banda cuando actuaran en vivo. Les vino bien que en ese momento Bill ya no tenía compromisos con KING CRIMSON ni actuando con banda propia como lo hizo después.

@@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP "Don't forget- when in Studio- Rutherford is Bass and Guitar and backing vocals. Hackett plays only while on the road." Absolute twaddle.

And the guitarist who played with them as a touring musician after Hackett left was Daryl Steurmer. Do you actually know anything about Genesis???

I was driving home listening to the radio when Bill Bruford came on being interviewed. I was a big Yes fan and was sad to see him leave right before the CTTE tour which I saw. I saw the Lamb Lies Down tour as well and was a Genesis fan since Selling England. So here it is 1976 and Bill is telling the radio guy that he will be in concert tonight playing with Genesis! What!?! I immediately turned the car around and headed to the Music Hall (Houston). Got a great seat and saw this entire concert! When Bill and Phil played together it was magic! I’ll never forget it.

@@danvelgtr I attribute Bill Bruford as one who first got me listening to drums. Although drums are on most music (rock/pop) it's just there. I play keyboards so I'm always attracted to those instruments. Bruford's playing caused me to notice the drums on a different level, widening my appreciation for other instruments than keyboards.

[@karlmylnere5712]

@@danvelgtr Burford was a far more technical drummer than Collins with a much wider scope and ability, totally different styles, Collins was / is basically a rock drummer and a very good one, Burford had jazz roots and could play multiple time signatures to an exceptional degree, also his ability to stride many different styles while maintaining a distinctively personal sound was unmatched by Collins or almost any rock drummer. I can understand that on a personal level you prefer Phil , but on a technical level he dose not match Bill in any way.

[@psol5667]

I missed out on the Selling England tour but saw Lamb early Dec ‘74. The album had come out two weeks before, and I’m sure many like me hadn’t gotten it yet, or been able to digest the new double album. But to see Genesis with Gabriel and his theatrics perform in a small theater like the Academy of Music in NYC, it didn’t matter!

[@NeelaBannerji]

Musically, the best line-up. Steve isn't maliciously made so soft in the mix that you could hardly hear him. Bill Bruford is at top form. Everyone is so energetic. But mostly, those zoom-ins on Phil, embracing the creative machine that he is, every beat a sacrifice of bone and flesh, giving all in a way that most drummers don't dream of. Genesis was often considered very cerebral, music for your head, not your heart. Those bright young fellows from art school who made such clever songs. But in every stop in every tour, every fan that left the show out of breath just from watching - watching Phil, the way he brought it to the crowd every night. Playing like Phil, well, that where the term "wear and tear" comes from. Pounding the drums like that, you wear down bone, you tear through cartilage and ligaments, and halfway through a career like Phil's, you've worn down your doctor's patience, who pulls up an x-ray and asks, "Exactly how long do you expect to keep this up?" And watching that man's career unfold, from the first time we heard him in Fountain of Salamcis, thinking, "Man, their new drummer is a total force of nature," to The Battle of Epping Forest, where you're thinking, "That was in 11/8. That drummer just did 32nd-note triplet rolls in 11/8. What the hell?" - who went on to sum up all the tearful melodrama of 80's ballads with lyrics like "turn around and see me cry." And while radio listeners like me spent a decade trying to avoid Phil's sappy, romantic tear-jerkers, the soundtrack for every boy who lost his girl, that same Phil was tearing through flesh and bone behind his kit, creating thunder with his arms and legs in a blur, and doing so well after it was no longer financially necessary. For more than a decade, he and Chester would map out those drum solos, planning for those shows in which fans would not be able to believe their eyes and ears: 5/8, 7/8, 9/8 then crash. The physical transformation of Phil Collins into a stooped gnome walking in constant pain was gradual. Intensely physical drummers like Phil don't wear down their bodies overnight. They ignore the signs, the warnings of doctors, pile on the ibuprophen an whatever else, and get through the shows, get through the tour, and get through the decade, giving what they can. Media-watchers like me have seen musicians transformed by time from boys into crumpled men. But most of that was from pharmaceutical excess and debauchery. But not Phil Collins. Over 4 decades, we watched him give every last bit of himself to his craft, beat by beat.

[@Sanoko-Chan]

Couldn't have put it better myself, he's a man who wore himself down to the bone marrow for his art. It's sad to see his health decline over the years. I recently watched the 2007 Rome performance after reading his book and the description he gives of being in agony during the performance, really shows on video. He helped me mend my broken heart and has continued to be a huge inspiration in dealing with the problems I've encountered in my life. Although, he is frail and a shell of his former self, he has left a legacy behind him of masterful drumming, heart poured singing and music which will inspire many as well as winter the ages.

@@Sanoko-Chan Yes !

[@halodust1304]

@@Sanoko-Chan No it doesn’t ‘really show’ on the video because Phil didn’t injure himself until the American leg of the tour which came AFTER the Rome show.

[@SuppersReady8880]

That was probably the finest tribute to Phil and the spirit of Genesis I have ever read, good on you brother. I remember how thunderstruck I was when I carefully counted out the "9/8" in the final part of "Suppers Ready" on Seconds Out. "Seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll..." indeed.

There's Dance on a Volcano in there too, these bookend codas revisiting songs on the album became a bit of a mini tradition, they had it at the end of Selling England by the Pound, Wind & Wuthering, here, and Duke.

First time I saw Genesis was in 1976 my second year of college. I to was fortunate enough to have seen them 5 times and still have them on the top 5 favorites of all time. I saw them in Buffalo with Peter Gabriel when they did the Genesis Live LP, man what a light show!!!!

Amazing, amazing, amazing! This band in their heyday was brilliant beyond words. I was lucky enough to see them for my first time the following year, on their 1977 Seconds Out tour. The only difference was Chester Thompson was on the second drumset instead of Bill Bruford, but still a phenomenal show!

Two of Englands most interesting drummers of their time, synchroniszed to support the first GENESIS tours without Peter Gabriel. I saw them live in Berlin, and they gave EVERYthing to convince us that they can do it without Peter. And how they could! Phil at the mike had the sympathies of the Berlin audience from the first seconds on, and he never lost it. He is such a fine chap! And Peter, who wanted and needed new freedom, he showed he could also get on without the band. That they still remained friends after all those years, is a fine and maybe rare example of closeness in the music business, and for me one of their greatest and finest achievements. If I look at the PINK FLOYD - well, you all know what I mean...

[@SuppersReady8880]

So true, it was like both Genesis and PG and his touring bands (for example Tony Levin, that great drummer etc.) both achieved incredible success, created two great bodies of work, but the personal side makes it a richer story.

Abar, I am not sure it was dry ice as such, I seem to remember there were tankers of CO2 parked behind the stage. They had a huge valve at the back of the tanker and massive pipes from the valves to the back of the stage where they were fastened down so the pipes did not move when they were used. When the valves were opened the stage was flooded with cold CO2 that produced the massive white clouds on stage.

One of THE best live bands I've ever seen (I've seen a few since the mid-late 60s) ;-] I saw them at the Tower Theater with Gabriel in the early 70s and a few times after that in their various forms of personnel and they always had an energy and integrity for musicianship that I've rarely seen in most other bands. I still think "Selling England By The Pound" is their finest body of work, but I've come to love pretty much every phase of the band Genesis - even several cuts from Calling All Stations have grown on me.

Fantastic. Had never seen this early live version. Bruford is going insane. But it's great to have this out there to show people the power that Genesis once used to master. Phil Collins as a badass drummer. It's too bad that the band did not quite realize what they had with Hackett. After he left it was done. I am still surprised how good "Trick of Tail" was because Gabriel was so essential in first 5 albums. Man, this was powerful.
