      @@verity9000 At the end of the piece you did something so beautiful....which reminds me the end of the closing section of the Piano Concerto N°1 - Romance Larghetto by Chopin. For me that's the most beautiful piece ever written on piano which is why I suspect I started to cry at the end of your arrangement on this track. I honestly can't remember when was the last time I listened to that piece from Chopin without crying at the end. Please forgive me for my awful english languaje. And thank you once again.

    How the brain is able to drive the left and right hands separately and independent of one another on a piece like this is a miracle....this has to be the hardest piece to recreate of all Genesis music..even Chopin would be amazed watching you play this..

    It makes me happy every time I hear it. 6:25 to the end is on of my favorite part of this arrangement. I´m a drummer/percussionist but I was a piano student wen I was young. Folk and progressive music, even blues are my favorite styles and my two favorite bands are Genesis and Led Zeppelin. Nice melody :)

    ... and this is pretty much Tony's part (only !!!) This video portraits few minutes of a keyboard performance that would go on for a couple of hours during a standard Genesis concert. In the same concert you would also have on stage four other talented musicians who would play with the same skill and artistry ... QUESTION: why today people spend 100 dollars to see people doing nothing on stage ???
