'In The Cage' medley 1984

[Bilbo]

I just watched this again (I have done so so many times) but this time I was listening through a £350 pair of headphones. Mike Rutherford is astonishing on this, throughout. A massively underrated player. So much creativity and talent - and a Status double neck!!

I bloody love this band, and this show is amazing, isn't it? In that Quiet Earth, man. Wonderful.

I agree MR is underrated, but it serves him right for phoning in such boring parts on the last couple of Genesis LPs. Is this really the guy that recorded The Lady Lies, Behind the Lines and No Reply at All?

 

Still love 'em to bits though.

Two wonderful songs. I love all Genesis until Steve Hackett left. I have a more complicated relationship after that!

 

Growing up I was obsessed with the top 40, and I loved it when Genesis would get into the charts, they just felt like my kind of band. Having said that, I didn't like all of the poppy songs, and I never bought another album after Wind & Wuthering.  

 

I have music on when at work, and sometimes I stick on a Genesis concert (when they were down to the three core members), and really enjoy all those hits. Although I much prefer the old proggy songs, the hit laden stuff somehow works for me as background music.
