Man, I love this vocalist. It's such a tough role to take on this song and he absolutely brings all of it. I don't think I've ever heard a PG song sung in a way that I really like, and now this guy just kills it. The whole band played this to perfection.
If I were to just hear the audio, without knowing, I'd think it was some studio reunion done in the 90s or so, when PGs voice was at his peak, with cleaner audio. A++++
totally agree
You've just gotta love that Mellotron. Brilliant!
Fantastic in every aspect, all instruments/voices ! What a superb interpretation. Salutations de Québec !
Bonsoir
Vive le Quebec!
De France.
You work like copyists of monastic books... love it. Thank you
What a great flattery :D
Brilliant. Great bass as well
Outstandingly Amazing performance !!!! 👍👍👍. It’s my favorite Genesis song and you do it impeccable !!!! Excellent job !!!! Bravo !!!
Mi fate emozionare dopo ogni ascolto delle vostre perfette versioni di questi capolavori assoluti. Il rispetto e la perfezione con cui suonate vi rende unici. Ringraziamo quei ragazzi inglesi che ci hanno lasciato la colonna sonora della nostra vita..... E naturalmente grazie anche a voi.
Impeccable but you also sound like fine Italian prog rock! Extraordinary
Amazing and using exactly the same original instruments. Gibson les paul, rickenbacker bass, mellotron, flute, etc.. incredible
Your Genesis renditions are all absolutely note perfect. I’m sure Gabriel would approve of the vocals as well. Brilliant guys
Wonderful, takes me back 50(!!!) years. Shit where did the time go?
All praise "The Watch"! Thank you for another marvelous rendition.
Grazie,grazie e ancora 🙏......veramente otto minuti di pura magia e professionalità!un esecuzione pressoché perfetta e avvolgente come l’originale direi!❤️🎼👍🎼( Peter approverebbe!!)👋
Bravo, bravo! Amazing performance. Doskonała robota. Pozdrowienia z Polski.
One of the most challenging Gabriel vocal sections 00:50 I've seen Gabriel's voice crack on it...He does that a couple times in the song...You guys did an amazing job.
Fantastic rendition of one of my favoirites. Thank you.
Wow! I'm stunned! You guys have really captured the essence of that song .Mille fois bravo !
You sound really great! The best Genesis- Coverband I know. But I love your own compositions, too... also great stuff!
Tribute band, my friend...
Absolutely Fantastic ..
Love that Mellotron
Beautifully played, with all the hart and technique needed. Thanks a lot.
Is everyone watching this aware that they have 9 studio albums of their own (One under the name The Night Watch) and ALL are 5 stars albums!!! the albums are the way Genesis should have sounded if they were still around!
Thanks for that info, I'll need to give some of their albums a listen
Thanks for that info, I'll definitely keep a look out for their albums. I felt Genesis faded out after Steve left. I know that's a silly thing to say, but I just preferred that style
Thank you, so much for this great piece of information!!
The lead singer sounds uncannily like Peter Gabriel!!!
otto minuti in cui sono uscito da questo mondo, volando in alto.... brano che ti resta dentro, per sempre
Whow - so great! What a sound and perfect performance! Thanks you for this. Greetings from Germany.
That was absolutely wonderful! What a great job!
While I love your covers I think your original music is even better. I have bought all your CDs and will forever peace and love.from 🇺🇸
Great performance! Any plans for a U.S. tour in 2021?
excellent work, what a kif it must be to play this!! (after hard work learning :) this highlights plenty of details, like the incredibly melodic bass line
That was awesome ... takes me back. Kudos all around. Carbon copy of Peter Gabriel's voice.
A beautiful performance and a master class in how to make a perfect music video. No fast cuts, weird visual effects or tiresome movie/TV/pop culture inserts. Nothing beats seeing expert musicians do their thing up close and personal. And no one progs it up like The Watch!
Absolutely killer guys! Very impressed!
An uncanny likeness to the original. . .great musicians!! 🤔
One of the most disturbing and powerful songs Genesis ever created. You absolutely knocked it out of the park.
Siete letteralmente... Incredibili!
Ah, un chitarrista fa pure Gabriel di cognome! 😄Il primo caso che non canta! Del resto, se a The Voice of Ireland c'e' stato John Bonham che CANTAVA Immigrant song...
I would add a like right now but you are at 777 right now so wouldn't want to mess that up. EXCELLENT!!!!!!!
This song is all about dynamics. Your band swells were very controlled. Bravo!
That guy sounds more like Peter Gabriel and what an amazing voice.
Outstanding vocals and bass guitar!
Just perfection!
Senza parole.... Siete eccezionali!! Ho ancora la pelle d'oca!
Wow! The only word for that is SENSATIONAL! But with you guys ... I don't expect anything less. Bravissimo!
This is not just good, this is really Good! Dude sounds more like Gabriel than Gabriel!!
This is absolutely the best cover of this song I have ever seen or heard. Brilliant!
Bravissimo!!!!
Awesome performance. Wonderful.
Oh guys!! Listenning to you makes my hair stands on end and brings teams of emotion to my eyes!! You're all really great, this is not a cover version, but the Soul of this Music. Thank's so, so much, and Congratulations!! Gael, Bass Fretless since 1970.
Impressionante
Direi
Saw them at Brixham last year, brilliant, please visit again soon
Question. The walls material where u guys are playing in is usually very echo: plaster, dry wall, glass, brick ... how did u get this so clean yet profound sound?
Siete semplicemente fantastici!!!! I Genesis sono stati una parte importante della mia vita e voi mi riportate nella magia di quegli anni!!!! Bravissimi!!!! Voce di Peter Gabriel, semplicemente perfetta!!!! Siete grandi!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍😍
Perfect! A what strings were used on the Ric bass?
Gruppo che riesce a far rivivere, rigenerando anche le sfumature più impercettibili ai più, i grandi Genesis. Bravi, bravi, bravissimi!!!
I came back to hear this again a year later and love it even more!
Agreed.. closest to Gabriel's voice great job!!! 💖
Thrilling. To hear the improved production values brings the song roaringly to life. Excellent performance. Salmacis never sounded so fresh. The flute was buried in the original production. here it adds to the sound.All the players excelled.
Saw them live at Robin 2 some years back.Great live.
Straordinari!!! Senza video occorre un orecchio allenato per distinguervi!! Tastiere perfette, forse da sporcare un po' con distorsore.😍
Goodness me...........close your eyes and that's Genesis! The vocalist is PG2! Just sent this to my mate who's the biggest Genesis/Gabriel fan!
non sono riuscito a venirvi a vedere ma vi ammiro moltissimo
Veramente bravi ! Brividi di commozione mi attraversano il corpo!
Incredible! Amazing! Superb! Fantastic!
Superb. Looking forward to seeing you live! (?)
¡Qué buenos son muchachos!!!
Felicitaciones!!! Excelente trabajo!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We'll see each other again soon in Unna / GER / 😉
Another wondrous performance. Bravi Tutti
!
I miss seeing you guys live so much 😥
Me too. Maybe at last on May 6 2022. After two reschedules...
Wow... another excellent cover...I feel it just needs a little more drum volume...blessings...
Vocally and musically very close to the original band. Excellent stuff!
Fantástico, awesome, salute from Chile
Brilliant!!! Simply Brilliant!
i dont mind copying when its this brilliant.xx
just Amazing, Bravo i hope to see you one day on live !
love the Rickenbacker bass sound, and sweet Mellotron
merci
Ciao
Amazing!!! Excelente!!!
Brilliant, 'the Lamia' please.
Bravissimi. Ottima esecuzione
F.E.N.O.M.E.N.A.L.I.........
ho visto tante, tantissime cover dei GENESIS (i quali hanno alimentato la mia adolescenza!!!) ma THE WATCH per qualità dell'esecuzione, fedeltà di riproduzione, qualità del cantante in primis e degli altri musicisti, la metterei al TOP della lista. Siete bravissimi. And I hope you'll find a true and good language translator to show you my great devotion.....
Magnifique, j’en les larmes aux yeux 😢
You are the only band doing justice to this music.
amazing job. Maybe change your name to The Watchers? Completely admire the job you have all done. Art lives. When I hear that crisp ruffled snare i reflected on the way they ended up with that awful plastic sound later. Live Genesis
What a great song!
What a wonderfull cover!
Come to Spain!
This vocalist is amazing ! really. Tell Steve Hackett to hire him at least for some songs. We love Nad Slivan. But Bravo bravo and BRAVO to all of you guys AMAZING!!!!!!
Fantastic, but have a word with your mixer about that kick!
Absolutely fantastic, thank you .🙃🙂
Incredible rendition of a Genesis classic. Has me wanting to take out my Gabriel era Genesis cds. I’ve been listening to this band since they were called The Night Watch. I like their own music. They play a beautiful symphonic Prog and are often unfairly called a Genesis clone band. The original music they create is not easy to write or play and is so much better than todays popular music. It’s not easy to play the Genesis covers either. Simon has an uncanny resemblance to Mr. Gabriel. Excellent Italian melodic symphonic Prog.
Do people realise just how utterly amazing this is? It has become my new favourite Watch track as it is uniquely them. Simone is not trying to sound like Gabriel, he is playing himself and it is beautiful. The harmonies bring tears to my eyes. The emotion they put into their playing and singing lifts their music way above any other Genesis cover/tribute band, and right now, I would rather listen to The Watch than Peter Gabriel (who I have seen twice) and Genesis (only once and it was a bit naff at Knebworth). Guys, if you can't make New Zealand work, I'd travel to Oz to see you.
I keep meaning to mention Giorgio Gabriel sitting down to play his guitar like Robert Fripp, but I have only just noticed that I think he is playing a similar guitar (Gibson Les Paul) to Fripp. Have I got that right?
Found you here lol. Ty very much bro
Wow!!! excellent
Brilliant :)
Sublime!
Grandi...Pura Magia!!
Barbarooo,,,,!!!!!! Saludos desde La Paz - Bolivia
Looking forward to hearing this in Cardiff soon :)
Very nice. I would like to hear them do the Selling England by the Pound and throw in Carpet Crawlers for fun.
incredible
Ma quanto siete bravi. Il pezzo è sempre emozionante e voi lo suonate magistralmente. When this whole covid crap is over come and tour Italy, we still long and crave to hear this music played. Old Genesis tunes are like opera, one can never get enough.
AMAZING! really liked that you put effort even in the backing vocals which are very goosebumpy in this song :) THANK YOU
Excellent. Tight. And yes, Peter Gabriel must be worried. Too close for comfort :).....
Bravóóó!
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Bravo, j'adore
