The discussion (here and other places) since this video 's release has been interesting.
In retrospect, perhaps I should have made more reference to the many other bands who
were creating...
Great line.
I open this video with Sinatra's 'Wee Small Hours of The Morning', it's the most consistently referenced 'first ever concept album'.
Arguments FOR Tommy being an early prog...
Some of you guys will give a better assessment than myself,
but my latest documentary suggests that Tommy is the foundation block from which
a lot of prog is based.
What think you?
...
I agree. I spoil you lot.
I enjoyed the doc though.
With regards to this era of ELP, I always wished they’d gone down the heavy fusion road that Carl Palmer was driving at.
This gives a hint at...
The latest edition of the BBC TV Quiz show Mastermind had a guy answering Genesis questions.
It was a reasonable mixture of easy and challenging questions.
...
The guy's Youtube edit is nice, but I truly shudder to think what embarrassing abomination Waters could create by re-imagining this...
The 45-minute anti-Trump, pro-Hamas wail is a given, but my...
Trust me, the emails I receive (and considerable donations) give me an idea of what they mean to people.
It is humbling to be a part of all this and it's such a joy to be able to present the albums...
As I alluded to in the doc, I think Anderson probably just thumbed through an awful lot of these sort of books around this time, rather than studying them in-depth.
I mean, how much spare-time would...
Darren Lock - one miserable bastard that dude.
In saying that, I must have watched 100s of his videos.
It's like cathartic torture.
Happy New Year folks.
I came into this one with no idea about how the album was made or the stories behind the tracks.
Therefore, I came out of it with a much greater appreciation for the album....
Message to the stoner who goes off to the toilet during Alan's Ritual solo (06.17): "Sit back down and wet your pants....you idiot... You're witnessing a piece of history"
The more the years roll on, the more embellished this (bullshit) story about Lennon liking Genesis becomes.
Check out this interview where Steve claims Lennon said "Genesis are the sons of The...
I agree. For years I have always been under the impression that the Seconds Out title refers to Hackett.
I still stand by this and don't think they would ever formally admit it in an interview at...
Well, as expect this video certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons (best not mention pigeons here though...)
The Youtube comments are fascinating and certainly reveal a huge divide between the...
A new documentary on Genesis’ …and then there were three…
You are invited to voice your opinion by choosing a letter to describe it.
A: Underrated ‘fan favourite’
B: Curate’s Egg
C: Tony...
In an alternative universe, Dave and Roger sit down as old men and play an unplugged tour of their classic songs to millions of fans around the world.
All of the ticket income is donated to charity...
Whilst in total disagreement with the basic concept of remaking Darkside,
I have to admit that parts of this are spine-tinglingly effective:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Xn1MZLw96M
The original upload of this video was flagged for 'adult content'.
They won't tell me what but it is either the Scafe drawings or Waters Swearing at the audience.
I've edited the drawings slightly...
Is there any way that the PE forum moderators can ban discussion on this?
I am dreading "on the run" (aka Mario Kart)
I'm not sure what happened there.
I did a bit of reading up on disgraced businessmen / politicians from the era.
I think I must have grabbed the wrong image or something.
Thanks for spotting...
I've only just found out about this thing today - can't wait. They are my absolute heroes.
Throw his favourite (Trump) in there and I fear you may be onto something...
I found that...
Punk Floyd?
Baaaa

Whilst I have no objections to people’s suggestions, I would suggest the ‘Live in Toronto’ CD from the 2015 tour.
It provides an excellent account of all eras old and new.
Seeing them on this tour...
UK dates have now been added, not that I will be going.
Using the word 'Tales' to sell the tour (when they probably won't play a note from it) is the final nail in the coffin for me.
...
It's very interesting reading all of this bleating and babbling unfold.
I still stand by my original assessment of this abomination, but man,
it's great to see that a guy who is near 80 can be...
Ha, that’s a great shout. It was done with different intentions (as I know you know) and also wasn’t complete and utter shite.
Absolutely, he's doing a George Lucas in this sense. It's very sad to see.
As an aside, as watched Ricky Gervais last night and he actually referenced DSOTM as being a cultural highpoint. That's...
and so it begins,
Roger Waters begins to dismantle his incredible legacy - Part One.
The horror... the horror....

Just stumbled upon this:
What on earth is this guy thinking?
https://toyahwillcox.com/toyah-roberts-sunday-lunch-tour-2023/
Is this 'acoustic prog'?
Even scarier than Peter Hammill on a bad day.
https://youtu.be/4nPer5U-zi0
Without doubt my favourite Crimson album.
I saw Tippet perform live once.
He bashed fuck out of his piano for an hour and then said "that's all I know"
What a dude!
I planned to write a section about the trend at the time for using orchestras in rock, must have forgotten about it... Perhaps, not a bad thing!
I reference this in the doc, of all the tracks...
I'm glad someone likes it! I think this era of Floyd is largely dismissed by a lot of people and my video will get a fraction of the views
the others have done. Atom Heart isn't quite proggy enough...
It's prog Jim, but not as we know it...
https://youtu.be/eOkXDvf_Fes
I have to say, this is the first of their tours I have not bought tickets for.
Enough is enough I think.
Considering their musical talent (and love for Genesis) I feel this band should be...
Nice to see myself referenced in this thread!
Thought I would chip in.
It's very difficult to be objective with this band and any of their output as we all have so much emotional baggage...
He is literally the only one of my musical idols that I've not seen live (and had the opportunity to)
On seeing this setlist and lackluster performance clips, that won't be changing.
** Trigger Warning **
The video contains references to blow-jobs, super-sonic fighting cocks and cold meat pies.
Roll-up... roll-up....

In addition to this jaw-dropping footage, today alone I have also watched Crimson footage from the Midnight Special show that I've never seen before and read about a new 1963 Beatles recording that...
That's because Hackett doesn't have to play Sound Chaser!
Man, I wish Genesis had done more unplugged material in their later years.

Doah! You're right there.
The problem is that I'm a touch dyslexic. You don't want to know how long it takes to read my own script out and edit all of the mistakes out.
Anyway, I'm sticking with...
Anfield. I used to live there. It’s one of the most deprived areas in Europe. Despite having a multi million pound football stadium in the middle of it.
Nuts to think I may have walked past the...
These are one of my favourite 'late-night' prog bands.
Bo Hansson's Lord Of The Rings is another.
A delve into Relayer and the subsequent solo albums.
The best part of making this was finding out that the Olias artist was from my home city of Liverpool.
Trust me, the shit-hole that this guy...
Perhaps this guy is a Krautrock fan, however, increasingly these types of t-shirts are being worn by people with no knowledge of the bands in question.
For many years now, high-street fashion stores...
In the 1980s the NME paper used to run a column titled 'Bismillah' that featured a lot of toe-curling lyrics.
Many of which were penned by bands we know and love.
I stumbled upon him on Youtube. I contacted him prior to using his playing on my Topographic video (he plays the main tribal 'Ancient' section).
I concur, his re-imagining of Squires playing is...
Drama's OK I guess, but it's a shame there's no Clowns, Lions, Tigers or Bears...

I missed Gabriel playing The Lamb on account of having my nappy changed,
but these are still vivid memories in my heart:
Brian Wilson - Pet Sounds / Smile Premier - London 2004 (McCartney in the...
I've just seen the latest Relayer UK tour dates for summer 2023.
Watching them this year, I honestly got the feeling that they just shouldn't be trading under this name anymore
and furthermore,...
This amused me. How BBC News summed up the band's entire career in under 50 words:
Scott: 0 - Rael: 1
It was photoshopped!
In my defence, however, The King was a huge fan of the book apparently.
I just picked the first random piece I could find that sounded closest to...
The soundtrack is a complete mish-mash of demos, cover artists, live cuts and isolated tracks.
I use quite a lot from Brady Arnold’s YouTube channel. ‘Behind The Mulitrack’
He has wealth of...
Rock and Roll Creation actually! The gospel according to Spinal Tap no less...
I was in two minds about adding it, however even Wakeman himself has commented on it.
Apparently the Alan White drum...
I agree I could have tried to look deeper into individual interviews as to what the other band members said about the album, however, the main problem I have when making these videos is not having...
A complex guy if there ever was one.
Looks like Dracula here.
Thought the fangs were going to come out at the end.
It was a toss-up between making this or Throbbing Gristle's "20 Jazz Funk Greats".
Enjoy Droogs.
