circumstantial tree Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 (edited) inspired by the Official Yes thread, I thought we could make one about Genesis. Besides, I was listening to "Trick of the Tail" this morning on my way into work and in a Genesis mood. I'll formally list my faves when I have to time, but for now "Trick of the Tail" and "Wind and Wuthering" are among the top of my list.

JoenataArctica Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 probably my favorite songs are The Musical Box, White Mountain, SEBTP, The Knife, Cans-Utility and the Coastliners. Peter Gabriel Genesis, the best Genesis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgyspice Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Forgot to ask: who else has the new '70-'75 box set? It kicks ass. The interviews and archive footage make it totally worth purchasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 no box set for me. The only thing I have is a collection of Genesis videos that date back to Trick of the Tail album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gompers Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 I'm eating popcorn. Actually, Shawn Bishop has been spinning quite a few cuts from the new box set over at The Dividing Line. He always has some nice Genesis rarities and stuff related to Genesis. http://www.thedividingline.com/btl.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hopelessly biased when it comes to Genesis. They're my faves..with Rush right behind. Edgy--we have copies of the stereo mixes from the 70-75 boxset, but we don't have the real thing yet. We dig what I've heard so far though!!! 2007 was a great year to be a Genesis & Rush fan...both bands gave great concerts that year at the Hollywood Bowl.

PanaceaFish Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 (edited) I love the Peter Gabriel Genesis the best, with SEBTP being my all time favorite album...I was also fortunate enough to aquire the first two albums, that I hear are out of print? Although Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering are also good albums... Edited December 17, 2008 by PanaceaFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering are also good albums... I like "Selling England..." also. It's the first album that seems to utilize more synths and less (if any) of the Hammond organ. It's a very rich sounding album compared to the previous ones. I have "From Genesis to Revelation", their first album. Like Rush's first album, it's an effort that is easily forgiven because it's their first recording and with little money to make. So I do like this album for a first effort. My favorite tune is "A Place to call my own". I also like their second album "Trespass". My favorite ones are "Stagnation" and "Dusk" Edited December 17, 2008 by circumstantial tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For better or worse, it could be because Collins and Hackett are not on it and thereby giving a different feel and groove. Good record, no matter.

I see what you're saying, but it isn't that-- I mean that as many times as I've listened to that album, I've never noticed some of the stuff I heard on the 5.1 mix. Little things like a Mellotron part that was buried in the mix before, or Peter taking a breath during a flute solo-- stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to the music style itself, in the way that Bruford's drumming for Yes brought a different style to their music than Alan White's.

PanaceaFish Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 Has anyone ever seen a band called The Musical Box, a Genesis tribute band? I was lucky enough to have gotten to see them at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville (NJ), a couple years ago, when they were doing most of the songs from Selling England, as well as Foxtrot, and I gotta say it was the closest I'll ever come to seeing the Garbriel era Genesis live, they were that good...

The Musical Box are currently recreating the Trick Of The Tail Tour, which was the first without Peter Gabriel and with Phil Collins up front. I've seen clips of this show and they seem to be doing a fantastic job so far. Although since Denis Gagne (the Peter impersonator) is taking over the role of Phil, the vocals tend to have a bit more Pete in them than Phil. I've seen them twice, one when they did The Lamb, then the last time they did Selling England By The Pound. Fantastic band and they are as close as your going to get to the real thing.

Mystic Slipperman Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 We saw The Musical Box when they were in Los Angeles doing "The Lamb" show. It was breathtaking. As far as tribute bands go, you won't get a more visually accurate representation of vintage Genesis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
