"Mad Man Moon" is one of the most beautiful songs ever written! I have never grown tired of it. It still gives me goosebumps after 44 years! There are just a few other songs that have affected me that way. It's timeless to me! "One From the Vine" is another.
Absolutely agree on both, probably my two favourites of the songs Banks wrote on his own. Both spectacular pieces, very satisfying and thoughtful musically and lyrically.
The older l get the more these songs affect me emotionally. I am supposed to see them in the US if they make it here... haven't seen them since the Duke tour. I expect a rough experience.
@@geoffreylogsdon162 I too, have not seen them since the "Duke" tour. I'm resistant to see Phil in frail health because he was an absolute acrobat the 3 times I saw them.
I don’t think Phill’s voice was EVER better than 75-85 era. Voice of honey and unique sound It kills me to see him now unable to sing as he once did and unable to play his drums, life is cruel but he is forever saved on vinyl for the universe to appreciate.
Yes, a true masterpiece. To me "Mad Man Moon" and "Ripples" are the best songs on "Trick", but the whole album is phantastic. My favorite Genesis-album. ❤
Trick of the tail was a brilliant album. Especially after Peter Gabriel left the group after Lambs lie down on Broadway. Collins Rutherford Hackett and Banks displayed a masterpiece of an album. To me Genesis is the best Progressive ban of all times without a doubt
They were a brilliant prog rock band Lance. However, i'm going to get a little biased here. Emerson Lake and Palmer, to me anyway, were the best during this era of music. Genesis were a close second and then I would say Yes....a close third.
Any group that can knock out suppers ready, at 21-22 are the best prog group, you need to see what they could do at an early age. I love prog rock, it has such great elements in it. So of course I like Yes and Emerson lake and Palmer. Please listen to Greenslade, no one has heard of them, and that is criminal.
Prog rock can't get any better than the albums Genesis released between 1972-1978, this song is a great example for the greatness of Genesis, Genesis is my favorite prog rock band and in my humble opinion the best prog band of all times!!!
People forget Genesis did 4 sold out shows at Wembley in 87 , fantastic night the gig I went to , Phil had the audience in the palm of his hands, not saying they peaked that week but cemented their place as a " premier" band. Nothing beats Phil and Chester playing together then Phil just walking back and starting his vocals again, magic , pure magic....
In the "Musical box" documentary, Peter Gabriel said that he had full confidence in the band continuing without him. And that he was not surprised by how good "A trick of the tail" turned out to be. He also lets it shine through in the lyrics of "Sollsbury Hill" "Tonight I don't need a replacement. I told them what the smile on my face meant."
I have to tell you that YOU have made my decade. I've been a Genesis fan since 1978. BUT NEVER HEARD THIS SONG. As most, if not all Genesis Fans in 2018 hope, for new music, THIS posting is for me NEW MUSIC. THANKS. Can't believe I've missed this for so long. Wow. I like it. First time through.
I purchased TRICK OF THE TAIL, 40 years ago, March, 1976, and then saw the "Trick," Genesis show on tour, April, 1976, at the Tower theater, Upper Darby, Pa.( Philadelphia ). Never get tired of Trick of the Tail !
Do you remember that TOTT concert well? I kinda recall seeing Phil dressed in black stripes jumping out of boxes during Robbery Assault and Battery , acting the robber. Do you remember anything like that? It was in Toronto. He had us laughing through the whole show. I have no one else to ask.
in '76 my Grandfather lifted me up to the jukebox and i was turned onto music. he bought me many of my Genesis tapes saying Stagnation was nice And the Knife wasn't so nice.
When ever I'm feeling really down about something, Mad Man Moon always makes me feel better and helps me put things in perspective somehow. It is one of the greatest songs of all time.
+Matías Adriel Garcia well as one commenters said on another video, Gabriel could sing the phone book listings and it'd sound epic...don't get me wrong, I love phils voice, but Gabriels is immaculate.
Can you imagine Roger Daltrey quitting The Who, and then Keith Moon decides to try being the lead singer and takes The Who to even bigger heights. Or John Bonham. It is incredible what Phil Collins and Genesis was able to do.
never heard this before and its so good,haunting and gets the imagination going and the playing of the instruments is perfect and Phils voice really blends in
I would say that this is my favourite of all Genesis albums. I love them all but this one the one I have played most often since the day it was released.
there trick of tail poster a got about 40 years ago!still hangs in my bedroom to this day,so that i never forget what genesis band did for me,and i will always remember them.
In a recent book by American political writer Jonah Goldberg he speaks of the "weirdness" of England as a nation, in a positive sense of the word. Genesis is up to that tradition.
This is actually cooler than either of the other properly recorded versions, despite the lower recording quality, because the outro is more mysterious and abstract, drifts away like a grey rain rather than swirling out into colorful swirling rainbows; it has that hypnotic quality that the end of "Dancing Out with the Moonlit Knight" has. The "better version" is more agitated and psychedelic, but not quite as seductive; I like the dreamy stuff myself, that adolescent escapism...
3:54 This I think is exactly the same as the start of Los Endos. It sounds like a crossfade at 4:17 to the cool ending. I wonder what the string synthesizer was. Not on any other track. Might not be a synth!
I love this album, and I think "Mad Man Moon" is the best. I didn't know "It's Yourself"... really it was a nice surprise for me, very beatiful song! Thanks to share with us!
I've never listened the version without fade out, and yes it brings naturally into MMM, whose intro has the same synth sound. I've known Genesis for 20 years but I still discover something new..that's great
Absolutely spot on. If Tony had learned how to write more accessible lyrics (a “failing” Mike mentioned a few times) his solo career and Genesis contributions would have been filled with hit singles to rival the Mechanics and Phil’s solo conquests. BUT, we would have been cheated out of songs that last 50 years, like ‘Mad Mad Moon’ has. I’ll take the eclectic, inaccessible Banks masterpieces any day.
I never knew of this connection, I don’t think I have the long version of Its Yourself...wow...the textures at the end are perfection. I think I want to make my own edit in which Tony’s last synth line fades directly into the first line of Mad Man Moon. perfect segue!
No one ever thought Phil Collins had that that voice. I agree with others that the composition of Tony Banks is far and away the finest of the era and still survives to this day.
Fantastic! I knew "It's Yourself" from the 3 CD set "Genesis Archives 2". Didn't know about Tony's keyboard motif (ARP ProSoloist synth)from "Mad Man Moon". Thanks for sharing the information about the various release edits. The 1970s Genesis body of work is simply mind blowing. Many treasures still to be discovered (hint: live recordings/bootlegs yet to be made available). My all time favorite band. Their music always takes you places - no filler, just pure genius! Love Phil's pure voice in this early (soon to be front man) phase, beautifully blending in with the instrumental textures. I listened to Genesis back in the day on very poor, cheap/thin, crackly vinyl releases (killer sounding productions on heavy top notch vinyl already were around!). They still became my favorite band and remained ever since - by far! The 1994 re-masters blew me away!!!
Christian Schonberger yes, no other band takes me to the places that Genesis do, they can have that medieval vibe or the old England Victorian vibe, or many other vibes, I just love the sounds Tony got out of his keyboard rigs in the 70s, just so ethereal. Some of the voice tapes on the mellotron blew me away.
They obviously made very good use of some sections of It's Yourself in Los Endos, but the mellow section from around 4:20 is just gorgeously trippy. Shame to lose that from the album proper, having said that ATOTT is still my single Genesis album anyway. They just hit out of the park. It was serendipitous that Genesis felt driven to prove they could survive & thrive at the exact same moment they reached the peak of their powers.
『Selling England by the Pound』と並んで『A Trick of the Tail』は、GENESIS のアルバムの中で私が一番好きな作品です。 その中でもこの「Mad Man Moon」は、初めてラジオで聴いた時にその素晴らしさ（美しさや奥深さ）に打たれて以来、ずっと大好きな曲です。
+Javier Cascón Conesa ......along with selling englang by the pound. The "lamb" is also of a masterpiece of technique though it's "scapes" reached a smaller audience.
From the place I'm acessing it, we have an advertising RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of this, so the two songs end up split again - that's OUTRAGEOUS, because the cool thing about this upload is to enjoy the obvious conection between MMM and It's Yourself. Dude.... sometimes advertisement misses the shot.... that's the case.
I have been listening to all Genesis Albums, thought I knew it all, but this is new for me. Thanks for posting. This would have been a hit before "Follow you follow me"
Great upload! I feel Dave Hentschel does not get enough credit for his fantastic arrangements and making some fantastic records. Genesis was at their best when he was at the board.
Dave Hentschel was also there on the Duke album. So, he helped Genesis slowly transitioning to a newer sound, helping them adjust to the sound of a new decade.
you know, i live in Odessa(Ukraine). the place i live in town is the "tourists" place, near hotels and some small apartments. so, every year i hear at summer "A trick of the tail" from the same people, which came to Odessa to spend their holidays. sry, for my disturbant english. and yeah, i'm a big fan of Genesis.
Oh...my...hat!! Thanks so much for posting this. Hearing this gem bringing the audience gradually down from the energy of Squonk and leading effortlessly into MMM is an experience I'd never dreamed of. It's the early hours of the morning and i'm almost convinced I fell asleep and am dreaming the whole thing. Better listen to it a few more times just in case, to make sure i remember it when I wake up ;) Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!!!
I was lucky to see Genesis in Ohio for the selling England by the pound tour. The lamb lies down on Broadway and trick of the tail tour to me. They are the greatest Prague band ever was. I do miss Peter Gabriel in the band because it gave it such a mystic aura to the band, the first two albums after Gabriel the same thing but then they started to change course like so many bands and go top 40 commercial but that’s the way it is most bands are better when they start off with their first few albums and then they need the pay offPeter Gabriel and Genesis and Phil Collins and Genesis were good bands. It’s just amazing how Collins and Gabriel’s voice was so close cause some people didn’t even notice the change lies down on Broadway to trick the tail. Remember that Gabriel singing. So much good music years ago.
Darn it! I put It's Yourself *after* Mad Man Moon. Now I find out it's supposed to go before MMM! Now I'll have to revise my revised version of ATOTT. ;-) Whoa, love the longer ending of this version, too! I think I need *this* version.
This is one of my favs too, I got the record at a garage sale in the late 90's and listened to it over and over...and when I say record I mean LP *lol* I got the cd later on, because I loved it so much. It's too bad this one was left off, the sound of it fits the album perfectly.
Heh, no, New York actually, and thinking a little harder on it it was actually at some sort of indoor flea market at some old plaza, but either way still have it, and still listen to it.
It's on the second box set but it doesn't have the second verse this is the first time I've heard this version and this has addition music at the end. As always Great.
Fascinating! And, I must say, the description above is very well written and understandable. I'd like to see more mastery of the English language presented on TH-cam.
Terrific bridge. I have both versions of It's Yourself. One point of clarification, however; IY was not included on the studio side of Three Side Live. Those tracks included: Paperlate, You Might Recall, Me and Virgil, Open Door and Evidence of Autumn.
SmashedBottleMan that was on the American version of three sides live, European version had a fourth live side with one for the vine, fountain of salmacis/it on amongst others. Should of called it four sides live really lol
Stephanie Sancia I can think of several other Genesis songs with equal if not more beauty. Silent sorrow in empty boats, ripples, after the ordeal, entangled, snowbound, to name a few
I can’t believe this hidden masterpiece never actually made the final cuts for Trick of the tail. My all time favourite Genesis album is timeless and more beautiful than anything I know.
Stepping out the back way Hoping nobody sees Leaving can't be easy Think how I feel What can you say? What can you do? Why can't you see It's yourself I love And don't you know, I'm not asking You must have made up your mind It is worth the pain you're causing To who you're leaving behind What can you say? What can you do? Why can't you see It's yourself I love Don't you know, I'd like some answers You could give me a call I hardly know the reason But I really don't feel good at all Where will you go? Where will you be? Where can I try It's yourself I love
Also, the "new" part (I hadn't heard this non-fade version) reminds me of the closing section of Dancing with moonlit knight (which I guess was also cut... when they played the song live it was longer). Haunting. Finally, interesting collection of pics... some with BB that I hadn't seen before.
Goosebumps all the way through MMM. A long time vtime since I heard it. I still remember almost every note. Love the It's Yourself rendotion too. Much more expansive than the one I've heard.

New music could be written....Tony and Mike could play it....but without Phil's voice what would it be???? Sad... time is cruel.
Mad Man Moon is one of the most underrated of Genesis' songs.
One of the greatest song imho
Yes, a true masterpiece. To me "Mad Man Moon" and "Ripples" are the best songs on "Trick", but the whole album is phantastic. My favorite Genesis-album. ❤
You've got that RIGHT!!😯

@@capecyndon’t you guys own either of the box sets?? This was on the first one I think.
Me too!
Its Yourself is a great song that did not make it onto an album. The ideas were fresh and the standards were high.
What a band they were at this time!
Yeah, they could afford to leave out this masterpiec. ;)
I purchased TRICK OF THE TAIL, 40 years ago, March, 1976, and then saw the "Trick," Genesis show on tour, April, 1976, at the Tower theater, Upper Darby, Pa.( Philadelphia ). Never get tired of Trick of the Tail !

Jason Barbush dude reminds me of my wife. Best music in the world. Really makes me ponder
A re-released A Trick of the Tail, with this fantastic piece included, would be most welcome.
Have this album covered famed and hanging in my bedroom
Wasn't it on their boxset?
It's Yourself - such a beautiful song. Find myself listening to this at least once a week....if not more :)
When ever I'm feeling really down about something, Mad Man Moon always makes me feel better and helps me put things in perspective somehow. It is one of the greatest songs of all time.
I could have written this as well. Beautiful.
Mad Man Moon .....one of the most beautiful songs that I have ever been listening to ....I love it very much....!!!
Just wish phil Collins sees this comment. He is a big part of my life. Your a brilliant man Knight
Always, especially with Genesis, singing his soul out.
Two perfect songs for Phil's voice. That's the style that suits him best.
mike , phil, tony, best trio ever
@@napomania Even better as a quartet including Steve.
Collins , Rutherford , Banks & Hackett = Good Songs
Uncle Dick And The Rust Belt Rebels + Peter Gabriel = Legendary songs.
+Uncle Dick And The Rust Belt Rebel. Collins, Banks, Rutherford, Stuermer and Thompson, much better music, well, it´s my point of view
+Matías Adriel Garcia
well as one commenters said on another video, Gabriel could sing the phone book listings and it'd sound epic...don't get me wrong, I love phils voice, but Gabriels is immaculate.
Uncle Dick And The Rust Belt Rebels Dont forget Steve Hackett or Anthony Philips or Johnny Mayhew. A real Genesis fan named Philip.
Genesis was pumping out consistently great songs up until about 1981. Then, they did so at a less consistent rate.
Can you imagine Roger Daltrey quitting The Who, and then Keith Moon decides to try being the lead singer and takes The Who to even bigger heights. Or John Bonham. It is incredible what Phil Collins and Genesis was able to do.
That would mean a Who concert would consist of "Bell Boy" being played over and over.
@@bandfromtheband9445 I saw what you did there.
The Genesis history is unique. Surviyng tlhe losses of Peter Gabriel in 1975 (with 500.000 £ to pay) and Steve Hackett
Hackett in 1977. From a quintet band for a trio, Banks, Collins and Rutherford are heroes for me.
Collins stepping up to the mic is one of the coolest stories in rock history
Entangled/It's Yourself/Mad Man Moon would have made an awesome suite.
Without Genesis I would not be who I am.
Ricardo Martinez I wholeheartedly feel the same way!
Nope - you need the release of the opening Squonk chord to resolve the Entangled climax.
No question!
@@herbertvonzinderneuf8547 To me "Squonk" is a masterpiece and also would be great after "Mad Man Moon".
2023 and still loving this well-crafted edit. Music was never better than this.
.... Thanks God ...no one replaced Phill´s beautiful voice/vocals ....
GOD IS REAL!!
Man the ending of this makes me wish Genesis did more psychedelicy kinda material
If only Steve had stayed....and Phil had not done his solo stuff. (greedy me I know)
never heard this before and its so good,haunting and gets the imagination going and the playing of the instruments is perfect and Phils voice really blends in
"Mad Man Mood"....Romanticismo e magia all'estremo, uno dei brani più belli di tutta la storia della musica!
Thank you for giving me a Genesis song I never heard before, what a blessing from God
God's amongst men, you mean.
I would say that this is my favourite of all Genesis albums. I love them all but this one the one I have played most often since the day it was released.
This is by far my favourite Tony composition. The poetic way it discribes the yurning of lost love.
Classic Trick of the Tail.
What a treat these there together..A fav. of mine.

this is not of TTT, its in Ripples -B- side as a single.

Phil's vocals just WOW!!!!!
makes you wonder what great additional music we missed back in the day with the limitations of either a single or 2 lp set.
Excellent posting,and you're sure right about Mad Mad Moon being the sequel of It's Yourself.
An epic lesson in the use of Mellotron and Organ
Think about it: Banks is self-taught at keyboards!
God damn, that transition from It's Yourself into Mad Man Moon works great. Well done.
Didn't know this song until now. Soooooo beautiful! Reminds me of times long ago when I bought ATOTT back 1976 which always made me fly.
A jewel in the Genesis Crown.
What a wonderful mix--super job-on behalf of people like me-that love this music---thank you thank you
When music was great.....1st time I ever heard this was on 93.3 WMMR Phil many years ago. Then I went right out and bought the single still have it...
Music from the gods. Who else came close!!
Genesis, top quality. They could have been bigger with Steve Hackett remaining the band, Trick and Wind are marvellous works.
This is now my favorite version of this song. Exquisite!!!
I absolutely love Genesis. Been listening since i was 12 years old back in 1976.
A definite goto when I'm depressed. I just love the piano, yea Tony Banks. Also love Blue Girls.
I was lucky to see Genesis in Ohio for the selling England by the pound tour. The lamb lies down on Broadway and trick of the tail tour to me. They are the greatest Prague band ever was. I do miss Peter Gabriel in the band because it gave it such a mystic aura to the band, the first two albums after Gabriel the same thing but then they started to change course like so many bands and go top 40 commercial but that’s the way it is most bands are better when they start off with their first few albums and then they need the pay offPeter Gabriel and Genesis and Phil Collins and Genesis were good bands. It’s just amazing how Collins and Gabriel’s voice was so close cause some people didn’t even notice the change lies down on Broadway to trick the tail. Remember that Gabriel singing. So much good music years ago.
Quanta nostalgia, avevo 11 anni.
Genesis amore mio
Darn it! I put It's Yourself *after* Mad Man Moon. Now I find out it's supposed to go before MMM!
Now I'll have to revise my revised version of ATOTT. ;-)
Whoa, love the longer ending of this version, too! I think I need *this* version.
This is one of my favs too, I got the record at a garage sale in the late 90's and listened to it over and over...and when I say record I mean LP *lol* I got the cd later on, because I loved it so much. It's too bad this one was left off, the sound of it fits the album perfectly.
BrutoDaBurlyGoon Did you buy a whole bunch of albums? And was it in NJ?
Heh, no, New York actually, and thinking a little harder on it it was actually at some sort of indoor flea market at some old plaza, but either way still have it, and still listen to it.
can remember first finding this, never gets old :)
It's on the second box set but it doesn't have the second verse this is the first time I've heard this version and this has addition music at the end. As always Great.
Thank you for posting this! Beautiful- and I like the slightly different mix of Mad Man Moon- one of my favorites.
Phil has such an incredibly beautiful voice. Pure magic.
Thank you for laoding this! I didn't know 'It's yourself'!....And Mad Man Moon is a fantastic track!!!... Sooooo beautiful voice!.....
Thanks for sharing this it's beautiful. I never heard It's Yourself before - love it
Fascinating! And, I must say, the description above is very well written and understandable. I'd like to see more mastery of the English language presented on TH-cam.
I concur ..
Absolutely gorgeous in a way only genesis songs can do
I got goosebumps listening Hackett on Mad Man Moon, he makes his guitar crying!😊
The ending of its yourself has a similar sound that’s on Rutherfords 1980 album smallcreeps day. Imo
This is a great song, Phill Collins is a great singer along with some great talent Michael Rutherford , Tony Banks, Steve Hackett
Terrific bridge. I have both versions of It's Yourself. One point of clarification, however; IY was not included on the studio side of Three Side Live. Those tracks included:
Paperlate, You Might Recall, Me and Virgil, Open Door and Evidence of Autumn.
SmashedBottleMan that was on the American version of three sides live, European version had a fourth live side with one for the vine, fountain of salmacis/it on amongst others. Should of called it four sides live really lol
Correct. The EU version of Three Sides Live has the 4th side with studio tracks.
The most BEAUTIFUL Genesis Song EVER x Fabulous Upload
Stephanie Sancia I can think of several other Genesis songs with equal if not more beauty. Silent sorrow in empty boats, ripples, after the ordeal, entangled, snowbound, to name a few
I can’t believe this hidden masterpiece never actually made the final cuts for Trick of the tail. My all time favourite Genesis album is timeless and more beautiful than anything I know.
Stepping out the back way
Hoping nobody sees
Leaving can't be easy
Think how I feel
What can you say?
What can you do?
Why can't you see
It's yourself I love
And don't you know, I'm not asking
You must have made up your mind
It is worth the pain you're causing
To who you're leaving behind
What can you say?
What can you do?
Why can't you see
It's yourself I love
Don't you know, I'd like some answers
You could give me a call
I hardly know the reason
But I really don't feel good at all
Where will you go?
Where will you be?
Where can I try
It's yourself I love
Thanks for the good work here ! 👊
Work in progress to future song' "Los Endos". Was a part of a beautiful song, 'It's yourself"
The journey of Mad Man Moon... a journey in music I have taken many times.
Also, the "new" part (I hadn't heard this non-fade version) reminds me of the closing section of Dancing with moonlit knight (which I guess was also cut... when they played the song live it was longer).
Haunting.
Finally, interesting collection of pics... some with BB that I hadn't seen before.
Goosebumps all the way through MMM. A long time vtime since I heard it. I still remember almost every note. Love the It's Yourself rendotion too. Much more expansive than the one I've heard.
Nice! Never heard this piece.
And I thought I knew everything about Genesis!
