The Musical Box 4 - Firth of Fifth

[@trepuseker]

one of the greatest guitar solos ever written

[@MrSpectrum58]

Classic Hackett,,,holy!!! these musician's are amazing,,Musical Box Rocks!!!!!

[@waynedent7646]

I must say I missed Genesis live back in the day and always regretted it. I saw this band at The Keswick Theatre in Philly. As soon as the last note faded I turned to my friend and said, I finally saw Genesis, so perfect was the sound and performance!

[@Pexster]

Wayne Dent, I have seen both. The Musical Box are spot-on accurate, but with better technology and sound!

[@josejones7025]

The Musical Box is NOT a 'tribute band'... "They have taken a 'period' and have faithfully reproduced it onstage... similar to a theatrical production" says Phil Collins. I've personally seen TMB 6 times, in San Fran, San Diego, L.A., Chicago... the Lamb show in Chicago was nothing less than a stunning concert... AMAZING! TMB will be coming Thur Southern California next month doing the Selling England show... can't wait to go!

[@Pexster]

Joe Assmus, you ain't kidding! It is a time machine! I've seen them do The Lamb and the Selling England tours!

[@jimkoval8546]

Just got home from CasinoRama in Orillia Ont. The Musical Box put on another awesome show. 2 full hours starting with Watcher of the Skies and finishing with the Knife. Thanks guys.

[@joseandrade632]

Saw the "Extravaganza" show in Lisbon, October 2018. After that, I have to express my deepest gratitude for what I was offered, as well as to regret myself for not having seen them before. It is quite an experience. Unforgettable!

[@rogerking7258]

Have seen them many times, mainly when Martin Levac was on drums as he is here. At one show he stepped forward to sing More Fool Me and someone in the audience shouted out "It's Phil!". Without a moment's hesitation he replied, "You must need glasses"

[@ciaobella65]

Live, they are unbelievable! I have seen them 4x at Westbury on Long Island. It brings tears to my eyes

[@a2652]

Musical Box donne un spectacle absolument intense, une recréation de GENESIS des plus fidèle. Le spectacle à Québec en janvier 2010 nous a fait vivre un moment innoubliable. Genesis en spectacle !!!!!! A Voir !!!!!

[@HotBobZeppelin]

I think that the best part of this song is not the famous Hackett's solo, but the work of Rutherford, who, at the beginning, plays the bass line with his instrument and then he uses the Moog bass pedal (more powerfull than the normal bass guitar), while he plays the 12 strings. Pure genius!

[@jimkoval8546]

Seeing these guys at Massey Hall in Toronto tonight. They put on an amazing show.

[@johnhill156]

Different singer that night

[@oddities-whatnot]

Hairs standing up listening to this, and that just shows how good this lot are, to recreate the feel and essence of genesis

[@CRM537]

Levac does a big part here.. not anyone can play the Phil back in those days... plus he is a lefty.. wow !!! Yup

[@MrSpectrum58]

the entire band is a perfect replica of Genesis,,OMG!!!!!

[@steadystate100]

Best Genesis tribute I've yet heard. My only critical comment is that the guitar and drums are under-mixed and the drums sound is mush. But that has nothing to do with the band.

[@NickDuvet]

In 2002, they played the whole of 'Selling England by the Pound' at the Royal Albert Hall. It was magical. They began with Watcher of the Skies and finished with The Knife. Then Steve Hackett joined them for an encore Firth of Fifth.

[@Williecisme]

This is just great...the bass reverbed very well.

[@TheKrakenLegend]

6:47 ... I don't know why, but this is amazingly powerful!!! THANK YOU THE MUSICAL BOX!!!!

[@guydelorme8641]

Martin Levac on drums...he just nail it good.

[@mugencart]

Seem them twice. Usually have to pinch myself. Incredible show.

[@CaioVianna]

The best Genesis cover I've ever seen! Hope you guys come play in Brazil someday :D

[@fibboobbif]

The very best Thing with TMB is, that they made Collins and Genesis play those old songs again on tour, After Phil sat in at Geneve and realized what a tresure they wrote in the early days. As i remember he said After the rehearsals, that TMB played better than Genesis... And then he Said: "But we wrote the Songs" ;)

[@stuartellis1803]

Saw them this week in Brighton, UK. Brilliant. Sadly, they didn't do this number but fantastic nevertheless. If they are coming your way go and see...you're in for a treat!

[@ginodinunno]

Seeing them in January!!

[@ginodinunno]

+TheGoldfish I must wait until the 29th.

[@ginodinunno]

+TheGoldfish Yes, that's the place. Can't wait!

[@babagigi1580]

Bravi semplicemente BRAVI

[@karenlock7222]

Brilliant..... :)

[@FtheLeftSF]

haa - guitarists technique is like Hacketts - / django - authentic!

[@remnrone]

i would much rather have TMB play the HoF induction than Phish...

[@eifelrock1980]

Das noch mehr.

[@Jbeliski]

Genesis brought in bass pedals for the first time I think on this album!

[@groundhog713]

No. They were first used on Nursery Cryme and Foxtrot as well....

[@Czyszy]

Denis Gagne's voice sounds a lot like Peter Nicholls of IQ.

[@hogweed89]

does exist a video like these with dancing with the moonlit knight?

[@creativologist1813]

No this wasnt the first album that Rutherford used bass pedals. That goes all the way back to Nursury Cryme

[@MICHAELSTEPHENROGERS]

This tribute band is fantastic but I have have discovered another band whose lead singer is so close to Peter Gabriel it is quite staggering.......The group is from Argentina and their name is GENETICS [Ex RAEL]..All Genesis fans must check them out!!! Dare I say it they are even better than this lot if that was possible!!! They have many utube videos to see

[@kamwrites]

Hooooooooly COW!

[@lettato]

a real jump in the past

[@stefdesche]

ont dirait près que mieux que le vraix band lol merci Montreal guys

[@SubashSL]

Probably the best tribute band there is. The sound of the drums needs to be a little more refined and perfected to match the original or maybe it was this recording. The audio is low anyway.

[@SolarMusicZ]

wooow, the drummer looks like Phil. Great show... I've seen them doing a trick of a tail and stuff and was very disappointed. The sound was terrible. But the musicians are not to blame.

[@NINisTR1]

where is the volume wtf

[@cosmojairzinho14]

wonderful ! hard to do better than this !

[@tgrunfeld]

Genesis cloned

[@56TheMick]

They do not sound bad but they are still a pathetic imitation, especially the singer, terrible; congratulations for the courage and the precious time wasted.....................

[@roycharlie3129]

This is just a luck for people like me who doesn't had the chance to see Genesis in their great period

[@slypin03]

as a musician for the last 40 years...bass , drum, guitar, keys.....i think they're good.....and also knowing that 50 % of the crowd are probably musicians,,,,,,if they were so bad, they hadn't last 25 years
