Your top five Genesis moments

[llanwydd]

I'll try to put these in descending order.

1. Gabriel's flute in the middle of Supper's Ready. Most 70s Genesis music is fantastic but that lead is exquisite.
2. Hackett's solo at the beginning of Blood on the Rooftops. One major thing that inspired me to take classical guitar lessons.
3. The combination of Gabriel's voice and Hackett's guitar in the final section of The Musical Box.
4. Hackett and Banks in the instrumental section of Ripples.
5. The piano solo in at the beginning of Firth of Fifth.
6. Dusk.
7. Horizons
8. The piano on Mad Man Moon
9. The classical guitar leads on Eleventh Earl of Mar.
10. Los Endos

WRONG! The venue was NOT the Hollywood Bowl. I know because I was there. The 76' tour with Bruford in Los Angeles was at the Starlight Amphitheater in Burbank California. Great show, and even greater comeback after the loss of Gabriel. Only time that I know of that Bruford played with them in L.A.. Were you really there, or is this BS?

Was I at the Starlight Amphitheatre on March 29, 1976 in Section B, Row/Box N, Seat 13? Why yes. The show started at 7:30 PM; ticket cost $7.50- That's about all I can tell you from the ticket stub.
Oh. Thanks for the PM where you called me a 'lying buttf*#k' . Maybe you should get a life!(?)

My favorite moment was during Squonk; I did like the little animation dealy

Question: Is it common on this forum for people to call each other "lying buttfucks'?

Genesis boot: Live @the Hammersmith Odeon 1976....With Bruford on the kit....The **best** version of White Mountain Ever.....Hackett just add some guitar parts that are just majestic....

Not that I'm aware... I don't know why anyone would take this stuff so seriously that they would feel the need to do so.

I *love* "White Mountain" from that tour! Especially Tony's sinister keys during the section that leads up to "Fang, son of Great Fang the traitor we seek..." - There's no doubt that this one was Rutherford's suggestion (being one of the old Rutherford/Phillips songs), and I'm glad they went with it. It was also one of the ones he used to introduce on stage (what a strange idea that was, to have Mike and Steve introduce songs!)

To set the record straight, Blah_Blah_Woof_Woof FIRST sent me a PM with two words only, FUCK YOU. He's now trying to make me look bad. Here is my reply to that PM for everyone to see. Again if he make a mistake by saying The Hollywood Bowl, I truly don't think he would continue to harp upon this. I stand by what I said, and yes, I really was there, NO food allowed also, like he claimed. Utter bullshit! And this IS my last words on this subject. See below:

Your rude response proves that you lied. Why do people like you have such big ego's that they have to fabricate stories? If you really were at the 76' show, you would have said, "Oh yeah, it was The Starlight Amphitheater, sorry about that." The least I can do is expose the credibility of assholes like you to other PE members like me who tell truthful stories. And don't expect any more further comment from me, butt fuck!

[Gruno]

Oh my!

[Man In The Mountain]

Does the Hollywood Bowl allow food? Because, maybe he got the picnic experience & venue mixed up with the wrong show (it wasn't Genesis, it was someone else), yet he saw Genesis as well at the Starlight too. I know I have a hard time remembering details of shows I saw in the 70's. No reason to get tempers up though, best to try and make peace if someone is getting upset.

..but Genesis wasn't there that day. They were in Canada at that time. They played Starlight Bowl on May 1st, 1976...

[Blah_Blah_Woof_Woof]

I don't know what to tell ya.

I'm just reading off the ticket per the 'DATE/EVENT CODE' - It says '03/29'- Maybe that's when the ticket was purchased. Since the ticket is ripped in half, I can't see another date except the bottom line with reads, "...01 1976 7:30P $7.50"- Maybe that's your May 1st date?. I'm sorry. I can't recall from memory. I misposted that it was at the Hollywood Bowl. The top of the ticket reads, "AMPHITHEATRE" (Left half is missing)- Next lines, truncated, read, "...AVE BURBANK...RESENTATIONS...NG YOU...NESIS'.../ EXCHANGE...01 1976, etc,

You now have all the evidence. My apologies to all the fact checkers.

I was at the Ottawa show in March 1976. There was a guy from Montreal sitting in front of me with an inverted V shaved on his head (I didn't call him, for the record, a butt fucker).
