hats off to Steve Hackett for finding singers that fit Peter Gabrial voice. fantastic

Erm..... Ray WAS the lead vocalist for Genesis after Phil retired.... I hope you meant that in jest....

[@martinklass8331]

Thanks Steve Hackett for keeping this alive for new comming generations.

[@gibsondcxpl85]

I wouldn’t say Ray sounded like Peter on this, he honored Peter’s version but really put his own stamp on it. Just a wonderful and passionate performance. Mad respect - hope to hear more classics in the future!

[@DarkeningSkies1]

Yeah, Nad has the 1970s PG vocal style/tone going on- Ray really puts one in mind of the older PG tone.

Hmm, I must admit, this version is great! Concerning The Lamb, I am usually on the side of those in awe of the studio performance. However, I think Wilson, here, does credit to what was originally intended.

[@TheLegendMaster]

I'm glad that Steve Hackett got Ray Wilson to come on and sing with him. I think Steve knows what it's like to be a bit hard-done-by the Genesis Machine.

[@jeffreysmith156]

Well done to Steve for helping to Show Ray's capabilities. My impression is that, after the cancellation of the 1998 (?) USA tour, it was mainly Mike Rutherford's apparent concern for the image of Genesis to somehow be tarnished by them being seen as a less popular and thus somehow a falsely diminishing band. I recall that Ray Wilson commented later how Tony Banks came to visit to apologise for the way things turned out. I for one would have liked to have heard another album by the "new" trio after, in my opinion, the unfairly derided "Calling All Stations".

Saw Genesis play Carpet Crawlers twice, on the 6-7th March 1975, in "Pavilhão do Dramático", Cascais, Portugal (a couple of months before Gabriel left). It was M-A-G-I-C-A-L. I still think that of ALL Genesis songs this is the one where other interpreters seem to be left further away from the truly eerie, ghostly, magical, extraterrestrial feel that Gabriel used to give to it.

[@antanasmokus]

Hackett's work here is astounding

[@taikob0y]

Ray blows it away in this version of my favorite genesis song ever

[@justenlavoie1235]

I really liked the Calling All Stations album and Ray’s vocals on it and I’m blown away by how well Ray’s vocals work on this song just wow

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

Sadly ..fans never took to him after Phil Collins departure ...I would loved to have see him develop with genesis. maybe they would never have went "pop" and still remained Classic prog Rock

[@markiveson-cursedhorrorman6716]

The album was a No 2 in the UK and the European tour was very successful. It was the lack of interest in America that ended things. So I guess there were fans who were willing to give Ray a chance. In all fairness, Phil's solo albums weren't selling that well in the States so even if he did another album with Genesis, it would never have had the same impact. Changing times regarding music.

[@Audioholics]

What a wonderful performance of this classic Genesis song. I wasn't a huge fan of Ray Wilson in CAS, but he sang brilliantly here.

They are a smart breed of musicians who can play beautiful soft songs (Carpet Crawlers..), and hard songs with soft passages (The Knife, The Musical Box). Steve respects Genesis and vice versa. That is rare and so cool. Sad, I don't ever see Steve performing with Phil, Mike, Tony, Gabriel anymore, and that's cool; I still have all there recordings and memories.

[@PliableScissors]

Gotta say Ray does this song pretty well. Had honestly never heard anything he did with Genesis.

[@richardpennington5445]

I saw Genesis in 1997 with Ray Wilson and he did really well on the older Gabriel era material. He didn’t do too well with the newer material. His problem was that Banks and Rutherford were not really invested in the new band, especially Banks whose parts/playing were distinctly ….meh. Poor Ray didn’t stand a chance.

[@haysfordays]

Th guitar line is so prominent and incredible. It really lifts the whole thing up a level or 3. Bravo.

[@DomValela]

One of the things not covered by other comments here: Because the song had always played by a 5-piece up to this point, there was never someone available to do the bass part properly, so it was always very basic bass pedal work by Mike. I find it very nice to finally hear the bass part from the record.

[@newjersey73]

Totally agree. The bass adds so much to the track.

[@stephensilveria3765]

agree with you completely....the bass in this version of the song is just wonderful. Lee Pomeroy, incredible bass player and plays this song so very smoothly. Was so sad when he left this band, definitely not the same now

[@nthoozeastic960]

Watching Steve perform here really brings into perspective just how much he brought to the band. The Carpet Crawlers... An all time great Genesis track. Some say their very best. The music of which I belive written by the only 2 that never left, Banks and Rutherford. Yet it's Steve's genius guitar that makes the music what it is. Those long never ending notes.... It is fantastic to see Steve keeping Genesis alive and bringing in top talent to join him, including alum like Rey. Rey does great and deserves no hate for his roll in Genesis. They were in a weird place then and to bring it all full circle... The writers for the music of this all time great were not able to pull it off when putting together calling all stations. I I know this video is older but... Now here we are in 2021. If you compare what Hackett is doing live vs Tony Steve and Phil this year, 2021... Well, Steve is stealing the show!! That being said, I love them all and would love to see Steve and Peter work with the rest of them again at any level....
