Dingus Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 (edited) Suppers Ready ! Actually , my tea will be ready soon , but after that I may well give this venerable epic a quick listen ( can you have a quick listen to a 23 minute song ?) . I'll put the subwoofer on now .

ead Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Oh yes, Firth of Fifth, when Steve's solo starts still sends shivers up my spine when I hear it - those white lights on the album cover didn't half singe my hair when they were turned though. Going to see Steve on his Genesis Revisited II tour next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingus Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 When I was a child I remember Sixth Form types walking down the road where we lived in Afgan coats , flared trousers and embroidered denim jackets with Geneseis albums tucked under their arms , probably on their way round their friends house to listen to Foxtrot or Selling England ByThe Pound on a music centre ( remember them? ) while drinking cider and smoking roll ups in bedroom smelling of of joss sticks with Led Zeppelin posters on the wall . I bet kids nowadays couldn't make their own entertainment with the same meagre resources - it's all legal highs , ipods and dubstep. They don't have the neccesary attention span to listen to a concept album and will never know the joy of spending an evening arguing with their mates over whether Geddy Lee is a better bass player than Chris Squire . Maybe we could rehabilitate young offenders by making them listen to Tales From Topographic Oceans all the way through . That would teach em!

toneknob Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 Phil's voice couldn't handle the end of "Apocalypse" any more by those days, which is why it was switched back to the more sedate "Afterglow". Sadly the RnB medley happened either way Also, as the two previous concert films (the Mama tour in 1983 and the Three Sides Live film from a couple of years before) both featured the Cage medley, the Wembley film crew were told to use that part of the set to switch film reels in their fancy cameras (a new film format was used to film the gigs). As all 4 Wembley gigs were filmed, the same point was used to change reels. And that's why there's no Cage medley on film from that tour. In fact the transfer to DVD took an effort on the old Genesis forum in the mid 00s to find someone still using the by-then defunct "new" film format, so they could transfer the footage to a useable format...

WinterMute Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I prefer Gabriels solo work and post Gabriel Genesis, "And then there were three" being truly frightening in places at volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 My first ever gig as an excited 13 year old was Genesis at Earls Court on the tour that yielded Seconds Out. I will never ever forget Los Endos, the closer as all the lasers turned on full pelt as the main refrain kicked in. I've got goosebumps now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo Valdemar Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 I saw Re-Genesis a couple of weeks ago at the Islington Academy, and they were bloody good too, really nailing the sound. It's amusing to watch the singer too, he has the appearance of latter-day Keith Moon but he does Gabriel to a tee. I cheerfully recommend.

dand666 Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 For me, Selling England by The Pound is the greatest prog album ever. Firth of Fith - just wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toneknob Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 (edited) Just listened to this version of Supper's Ready for the first time in ages. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-kORf_0uVTw[/media] What has struck me is (a) how much (or how little) actual bass playing there is in there - much of it is bass pedals or cello and (2) the shivers up the spine as the geese fly overhead at 18m47s ... from wikipedia, "Apocalypse in 9/8 (Co-Starring the Delicious Talents of Gabble Ratchet) ... "Gabble Ratchet" is a reference to the Hounds of Hell; they are usually portrayed as geese, which explains the sound effect heard during this section" Edited November 16, 2012 by toneknob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a shame, as the rest of the album is as close to perfection as anything, and the rest of the tracks are probably Genesis' finest.
