Genesis Live 1988 at Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary "Genesis Medley"

[@kerrycater2795]

I got the chance to record the simulcast off radio as a teen. The only time Genesis ever played their solo material, it was a fitting tribute to the incredible contribution of these artists both solo and combined. I just wish I could have been there to see it in person. 😮

I think if it wasn't for Invisible Touch, many of us Genesis "super-fans" would never have had heard of them. Its only because of that album that a friends dad said to his kid "you think this is good? I've got some of their old stuff too". And he got a friend hooked who got me hooked. Their "Sellout" stuff gave so many more people access to their amazing music - early and late. And although Im not a fan of all of their radio-friendly stuff, I think most of its better than the cuts of From Genesis to Revelation. Thanks for the upload!

I love Phil Collins/Genesis, music is at it's best!!

[@PurpleInTheDeep]

Thanks for sharing this video! They sound great, especially Mike!

[@davidrydell9731]

Phil did a solo set at this show and if I remember correctly, so did Mike and the Mechanics

[@CoTeCiOtm]

The reason there's no keyboard in the mix is because this recording is in mono with only one of the stereo channels, the keyboards were mostly present on the other channel.

Caught this on video tape on Showtime when I was sophomore in high school!

[@idahopotato01]

Thanks so much for sharing! I only saw the ABC broadcast and didn't even know that the Throwing It All Away section existed. Beautiful sound...too bad the crowd at MSG was so lame.

[@davidrydell9731]

I was at this concert... the whole thing was about 14 hours

[@amandabooth7399]

David Rydell, you didn't have listen if you didn't like it instead of complaining.

[@davidrydell9731]

@@amandabooth7399 Hi Amanda... it's certainly interesting to receive a reply to a comment I made 8 years ago. I'm not sure why you think I'm complaining. Like I said, I was at this show and was I just wanted whoever was interested to know that the entire concert was about 14 hours long. It was in 1988 but I remember it like it was yesterday. This medley was about half of Genesis' set, which made it one of the longer sets of the show. Phil also had a solo set. They were one of the highlights for me, along with Yes and Average White Band. Here's a link to AWB performing Pick Up the Pieces from this show: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4GmkqGhbtCbgpo, a few highlights from Yes' set kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJO2f3imh5WGfLc, kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppCxpJKuaLh4qM0 and kzbin.info/www/bejne/qn7VXqmDgrB2eMk. Also, here's Led Zepplin's entire set, the last of the evening: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXjIi6ZpgaeMmrs

@@davidrydell9731 I just thought that you were complaining about how long the songs were.

[@TheChadTI]

@@davidrydell9731 I don't know anyone who was actually at this gig, (even on the internet;) what a monumental lineup. Are you industry or just lucky to get tickets? Not the best Zep showing but you saw them (!) it was better than Live Aid set though. Genesis had been off the road almost a year at this point (I think?) this is only one of two gigs that happened between Invisible touch and we can't dance tours, special night. God bless 🙏

[@davidrydell9731]

@@TheChadTI No, I'm not in the industry, I'm a computer programmer... at the time I was consulting at Citibank about a block away and the day before the show a coworker and I called a broker and got tickets delivered to us. As I recall, the ticket cost $100. It was a little known fact but Madison Square Garden always held back some tickets for all shows (including sold out) for sale that day. I used to walk up the the box office and get excellent seats in the morning for a bunch of concerts

There's no freakin' keyboard in the mix!

He's so awesome.

Good Job!!!

[@alvarovillarrealmascheroni3408]

I like in this performance the guitar line in Misunderstanding. I don´t hear that in any other live versions.

[@Schimnesthai]

Phil Collins looks like a villain here.

[@davebellamy4867]

Totally different from a year before in summer 1987.

[@AB-ds1lg]

Well you know he was on Miami vice where he played villain.

And as I said: “and those were the days of Buster!!!!!!!” We can all cry now! Let the tears fall from ya!

Between two albums: one year after Invisible Touch Tourage-We Can’t Dance composition! A three year span: “And those were the days of the hologram, Next Generation, Buster, Acid Rain, and Oat Bran!” “We miss thee 1988. We miss thee! We miss thee!” Thou were an interesting creature! 🥺😢💔😔😞😣😖😕😥😓😯😦😧🫨😮😲😮‍💨😿🥀💐🌻🌙💫✨💥🌎

Quién se comió el sonido del CP-70 de Tony? Casi ni se oye en la mezcla, y eso que estoy con los auriculares donde todo se oye en detalle

[@Schimnesthai]

wow what, missunderstaning? impossible.

[@BendeHoedt]

Great, but such a shame this has been squashed into the incorrect aspect ratio.

[@phenixreturns]

it's not the full version full version 19-21 mn

[@LennyGiardino13440]

No Jim Smith - Don't watch. Why do you losers always have to watch and post. Amazes me every time.

[@eartopsy]

+Lenny Giardino It's also amazing that someone is amazed by another expressing an opinion, or feels that someone is a loser for doing so. No Lenny Giardino - don't read. This version of Genesis sucks. What a bunch of pop drivel. Just my opinion ya' know...

[@davidrydell9731]

@Amanda Booth I like most Genesis and Gabriel... this was the only time I ever saw Genesis so I was happy they played, but my impression at the time was they played most of the songs too fast. I only saw Gabriel once - it was at the same venue (Madison Square Garden) in 1993, and it was one of the best concerts I ever attended. Here's a link to a full show from the same tour, the set list is almost identical - kzbin.info/www/bejne/e2fEnJ6ajrKMmLc

[@oddities-whatnot]

Turn it on again live is appalling, on every video I see. Really cant explain why, but for me the album version is gritty and powerful, yet when its played live its like a pantomime song to cheer the crowd up.

[@JCM-LedZeppelin-Stories]

Wanted to say this as well....i think the bass was double tracked on the studio version.

[@tiedupsmurf]

He couldn't sing the song like that anymore, his voice was changing

[@davidanania5618]

I’m with you on that. It’s always performed well but the Duke version has a drive that has never been captured live, even early on (3 Sides Live). Phil’s kick drum pattern really pushes it, while driving the taurus bass pedal groove. I’ve always felt the same about “Abacab”, as well. The original had this gritty drive to it that was never matched live, although the instrumental section on the live arrangements were smokin’.

[@felsner1]

Cool, albeit an obvious raw mix...

[@leninlondono1804]

felsner1 genial is other Biutiful concert. Congratulations.

[@maxmeister5064]

As shallow as a non-swimmer's pool section!

[@ianpalmer4840]

Good concert, but I much prefer their earlier stuff. started to get a bit popy .

[@MizMite2002]

I gave up at this point. just cheesy 80s crap, never to be played again

[@FranciscoFJM]

Bullshit lol

[@amandabooth7399]

You people sure do like to bitch about everything. Don't listen if you don't like it. Or is this a bitching session?
