The Watch plays Genesis - Can Utility And The Coastliners ft. John Hackett (Quarantine Edition)

[@Heselbine]

Marvellous. One of my absolute favourite Genesis songs.

[@godbluffvdgg]

Those who have LOVED this song for decades should be moved by this...The singer has that killer Gabriel warble...All the musicians did such an amazing job...Beautifully performed. The mellotron sound was sublime! I'd have that same ear to ear grin if I was nailing those Banks lines too...Such a fun song to play...I will share, save, sub, favorite and it's in my Greatest Prog playlist...Thanks for your gift to the world...Cheers!

Genesis fan since my very earliest memories, always thought of this song as not only underrated and/or overlooked, but as one of my my personal favourites. This is absolutely fantastic, to see such a good band do this absolute justice 🙌❤️

[@user-nd5jc8xv8v]

[@PaIaeoCIive1684]

Yes, one of my top 10 Genesis tracks. Very complex instrumentally, but The Watch are near note-perfect with the great original. The singer doesn't look like Gabriel but his voice is similar, and he makes it sound English as Gabriel tended to. Great job!

[@atilarist6035]

Italians love Genesis music. Excellent.

[@MaurizioCatacchini]

Italians love Genesis since 1972.

[@blakemore99]

@@MaurizioCatacchini In an interview with Genesis in 1980 while in NYC, they were asked where their greatest fans were. Collins said "Outside of England, without a doubt it is Italy!" "In the U.S. our greatest bastion of fans is in Philadelphia." (Philadelphia has a very high percentage of Italian-Americans!)

[@tunnelboy8250]

U guys are amazing but this puts into perspective how amazing genesis were... These kids were barely out of teenage years producing the greatest ever of prog rock.. Thank you for keeping it alive guys

[@carlosgarcao2847]

Greet band. The music of Genesis are to close to perfection in this era. Genius pure genius.

[@paulwalker2777]

My god I thought that I had just traveled back in the Tardis to Oct 1972 and walked into Wilson and Peck in Sheffield on my way home from work on Friday with my weekly wage packet in my pocket to pick up Foxtrot and jump on the bus to head off home,then run up the stairs and place it on my turntable close the bedroom door and lay on the bed and just listen and soak it up and let it take me away to another place. That's how good this is,what makes it 99% there is the totally spot on vocal,the best (other than PGs) vocal on Genesis stuff I've ever heard.👍 Will keep an eye out for definite.

[@SunFellow941]

That's one of the best Gabriel interpreters I've heard. Why haven't I heard of him before?

[@danielvanstichel6077]

I know them since 2006. They already played Can Utility and also Hogweed at the time. Now they concentrate more on the genesis cover side than their own production but they still have several albums that are really worth...

Gave me chills. If you were just listening to it, you'd swear it was Genesis. The Watch shows the respect they have for Genesis and prog rock.

[@leo50519]

I listen to talk radio all the time. This song has so much great bumper music on it. Just an awesome song!

[@philjones8693]

Magnificent - a song that has been sadly neglected for decades (until Steve H blew the dust off it). Really very well executed by all of you!

[@dianequick3127]

Oh, it is John Hackett! What a pleasant surprise!

[@dianequick3127]

I first met John Hackett through his mother - the mother of John Hackett and steve hackett.

[@dianequick3127]

And, I believe creating a flute easier for flute players to play is beTTer than creating another piano key board of which incorporates a C flat note - as opposed to keeping it the way it is i.e. there is no such thing as a C flat note - it is called a "B".

[@dianequick3127]

Um, is that a 12 string Alverez acoustic guitar the guitarist is playing?

[@uckbee]

@@dianequick3127 And she's still alive and kicking in her 90's!

[@Vince-lq3ve]

Great vocals! There is a reason that Genesis could not easily find a replacement singer for Gabriel after auditioning something around a hundred singers: it's just bloody hell to pull it off and luckily Phil did it and turned into one of the best vocalists out there. Interestingly enough in my opinion your vocalist here pulls it off as well. Great work and as for the music such an amazing attention to detail. Thanks for this- Well done!!

[@stephencox6012]

He is certainly better than that nad who sings with Steve hackett

[@mikemcinyre1622]

No words. This is incredible. So are the original albums the Watch have out.

[@thisislogout]

One of my favorite Genesis tacks from Foxtrot. What's really amazing is that these guys are playing live and it sounds like a studio recording where, obviously, many takes are done to get the right sound, and to add tracks with different instruments and so forth. Even though these guys rehearsed and played this many times live, this was skillfully achieved with perfect timing, perfect sound, and impeccable musicianship. Nice going, lads!

[@inglepropnoosegarm7801]

One of best mellotron solos. Amazing example of baroque rock

[@blakemore99]

Interesting fact: The mellotron Genesis used to make the Foxtrot album (and others) was purchased used from King Crimson!

[@hyperboreal]

It's all shivers for me as soon as that mellotron and the bass pedals kick in at 2:07

While I quite like this song on Foxtrot, their recorded performance there somehow always seemed a bit....somehow flat and easy to gloss over. You guys really made it jump out to me!

[@MeteoXavier]

Having the brother of one of the guys who made this song perform on it when he's intrinsic to his brother's solo outfit and not the band that made this one is a wild dynamic. It works and John is a flute par excellence so there's no criticism whatsoever, I just can't help but admire this particular dynamic. It'd be kinda like if they made a Batman: Dark Knight sequel with Joker but with Mark Hamill as the live-action Joker based on his voice work with Heath Ledger not available. I love me a good, examine-heavy dynamic.
