#Genesis #PeterGabriel #reaction
The last Genesis album with Peter Gabriel. At the end of the song he references the song 'On Broadway' made popular by The Drifters and more notably George Benson. Lovely reaction.
You need to do "Firth of Fifth." You will be astounded.
Indeed. Everyone I have seen reacting to this has been! Especially with Tony's opening piano, but especially when Steve's wonderful guitar solo kicks in!
Steve Hackett's solo brings me to tears every time.
I second Rick’s motion. Steve Hackett’s extended guitar solo is sublime.
For sure! The auditorium shaking bass is amazing. It is just a perfect work of art!
One of their best!
The whole first side should really be listened to in one go. The songs are incomplete without each other. They're very tightly linked.
I agree with this, however; this this may not be viable because of a tech aspect or copyright concerns,, so I laid out some connecting tracks, feel free to suggest better combos, I'm probably nowhere near the genesis fan u are, so I defer to your opinion..
TH-cam reacts do best with a video per side listening to this album since many songs lead into the next one.
Yes. The title track is simply the opening exposition for the entire complex narrative that is the album. Along with the way, it's also a great read with lots of allusions and amusing wordplay by Gabriel, who wrote the lyrics. "Broadway Melody of 1974," "The Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging," and "It" (the final track) are good examples.
Correct
@@gj8683 Yes, there are so many music & cultural references, it can be overwhelming for a first listener from another decade. From Lenny Bruce, Groucho to Howard Hughes and Caryl Chessman. Songs like “On Broadway” & Needles and Pins.” It’s a lot. Could we request 3 or 4 tracks at a time? Even then, there aren’t many request slots available because everyone wants some. That’s great for N&L. The channel is blowing up! 🤪
Next you should react to Genesis Selling England by the pound. This album is like their Sergeant Pepper's
Firth of Fifth and Cinema Show!
@@avantprog6902 Absolutely! And "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight". Three of the very best prog rock tracks EVER! And even better live! This album and Foxtrot were simply as good as it gets!
Bears zero relation to Sgt Pepper. What an odd comparison.
@@Thievius333 of course it's all subjective but I like to compare Sergeant Pepper's which many people think is the peak of The Beatles creativity with other artists albums that in my opinion are the peak of their careers other examples are The Moody Blues Days of Future Past. Yes close to the edge King Crimson in the court Spirit doctor sardonicus Santana Abraxas the who who's next and more. It's just my own shorthand for what in my opinion is the culmination of a band's creativity that's all
@@sdholmess Good try. I see your logic, but while a fantastic album (nearly my fav), TLLDOB is their peak. Adventuristic. Well played. Sophisticated writing. Peter Gabriel has never sung better. Collins drumming is sublime. Hackett fantastic, if under utilized. Rutherford solid and dynamic. And Banks never played better....the whole band virtuosic.
I'm not a big Genesis fan, but I've heard this one, years ago. I ought to listen to them more. They have such a rich and complete sound to their songs.
Try "Fly on a Windshield" Steven Hackett (their guitarist) thinks it's one of the finest they did. Phil Collins really shows his drum chops too.
That's one of the heaviest songs ever written in my opinion!
@@briano.5746 Agree. But maybe we could request tracks 2 & 3 together (because they flow together). 😉
My favorite part of the album!
@@michelemichele3375 great that you are pushing, or shall we say opening the eyes of, Nick and Lex, as a huge Genesis fan... this album is so difficult to suggest to reactors as it is not easy. JustJP just did the reaction of of TLLOB side by side. And got side 3 blocked
@@michelemichele3375
Good point , let it flow!
You should watch a live version just to see how Tony does the piano pieces. Never seen anything like it. Now you absolutely have to do Firth of Fifth.
One of the few Genesis songs where he plays cross-handed
He also does the hand-over-hand technique in the Fading Lights instrumental part on We Can't Dance (1992).
@@MattLathrum Yes, and he also uses the cross-hand technique in 'No Reply at All.'
@@MattLathrum Fading Lights is one of their best.
@@bobcorbin3294 Yes, along with the middle part of his solo on "Robbery, Assault & Battery", which is insane when you look at him play, lol.
I have all there early albums. Listen to them all. Amazing.
Huge Genesis fan since 70’s. So happy to see you appreciate it too. Trick of the Tail has a special place in my heart ♥️
There is a superb TH-cam video by Nathaniel Barlam. It is called The Lamb Lies down On Broadway Illustrated - Complete. The amount of time Nathaniel spent on illustrating the entire album is unbelievable. The quality of the illustrations is phenomenal. His illustrations make it easier to understand what is going on during this highly complex, often confusing album.
I wouldn't recommend it on the first listen, though, as it can be distracting from the music itself. Also, the video has pretty literal interpretations to the metaphorical concepts of the album.
Some hate that video. For me, it is SO good!!
@@MattLathrum Completely agree. Fantastic video. Well thought out and executed, but it is distracting. The MUSIC is king! Save it for the second listen.
A lot of the early progressive rock is sort of like classical music, in that they outline various musical motifs, and revisit them, and expand on them at various points in a multi-movement piece of music. They often present variations on a theme. Yes does this, Emerson Lake and Palmer does it. Genesis does it. It's a concept of composition that many of them shared.
So true. But TLLDOB is above all. It is up there with Stravinsky's 'Rite Of Spring'
The Genesis lineup of the mid 70s had so much talent that all 5 members had very successful solo careers, no other band can say that in any era!
The great musicians and writers of the band on magnificent form - set off by the sublime vocals of Peter and Phil.
I've never heard rock done at a deeper level than that line-up achieved in the early 70's.
Steve Hackett’s song “Shadow of the Hierophant” is a beautiful song off his first solo album outside Genesis. It also features Phil on drums and Mike Rutherford on base.
Check out the whole album guys, it's definitely a ride!
✌😎👍🎤🎸🎹🥁🔊🎼🎵🎶
Yeah - you're going to have to a full album listen. Well worth the journey ....
It’s amazing and reassuring that younger generations are listening and appreciating modern classic music, this was obviously created before your birth
Yes almost two decades before! Still sounds better than ever!
This was the first Genesis song I ever heard as a kid, became a fan of them and Peter Gabriel instantly.😎👍🎧
My favorite Genesis album! And one of my favorite songs from the album.
I guess it's never too late for an old dog to learn new tricks. I have been obsessed with this album for the past 41 years since hearing it for the first time, yet I never noticed until you guys pointed it out that the keyboard and chords during that slow bridge reflects The Carpet Crawlers. You guys showed me that! You taught this 56-year-old Genesis junkie who thought he knew everything and made mhim feel humbled that you taught me this on your first listen what I hadn't noticed in 200+ listens before. You guys rock!
Thoroughly enjoyed this ! Did not want it to end! Very short!Thanks for this reaction!
My Husband and I had tickets to this. Cheap seats, we were mostly broke. That day we had one of our famous ice storms. Old car, no worries we go to the show. About 8 Peter Gabriel comes out and says "is this it?" (about 3 to 4 hundred people there) "Well everyone move to the good seats. People will wish they were here." And the show proceeded...With Phil Collins on drums .
wow.. what city was that?
Oklahoma City@@meganparsons9106
Saw the show in Boston. Phil Collins was spectacutar.
A nice story.
You're gonna love Fly on a Windshield!!!
Great reaction. As others have said you should do Firth of fifth. It will blow your mind. Awesome guitar solo by Steve Hackett.
The first time I herd this was in 1976 I was 10 years old, here we are 45 years later and I still love this song and album and old GENESIS, you guys are in for many great songs ahead with GENESIS and YES, RUSH AND PINK FLOYD. Now that you found this rabbit hole you never want to leave. If you listen to the songs on the Lamb in groups of 3 it will make sense for a fist time listen...
Michelle Michelle strikes again. Old Genesis, Yes, Rush, Porcupine Tree and on and on you two are discovering some classic bands. A lot of people only know Phil Collins for his voice but his drumming skills are outstanding.
I also love all the new bands you have helped me to discover. The Warning is my favorite new band and I can't wait to see what you have coming up next for us. One thousand extra karma points for Nick & Lex for all the positivity you are flooding into the universe.
Yes yes please! Gotta follow this up with Genesis - Fly on a Windshield/Broadway Melody of 1974
LOL you both were so into this you forgot to pause!
One of the most powerful starts to any concept album. All of them at the top of their game.
That is, hands down, the best album Genesis ever did.
Genesis has been my favourite band since 1978, after I had seen them live in Frankfurt , Germany on their And Then There Were Three tour. Gadually I was drawn to the older material and I consider "The Lamb" as my favourite album.
Any Genesis, any era is fine by me. I will say that the albums released between 1970-1976 should be listened to as a whole although the album Duke from 1980 might qualify as well. I know it’s difficult for you to do full albums because of time constraints so however you choose to experience Genesis is great. It’s your journey. 😃
You passed the Michelle test!!! Yay!!! We love you two here in our humble house. 👍🎶🙏
LOVE IT!!! i grew up on this stuff,so great to see you react to it..appreciate you guys very much...all my best Kent in Ohio.....
Glad you got another taste of "The Lamb". Genesis remained a prog band for at least a couple of LPs after Peter Gabriel departed. They are both worth hearing: A Trick of the Tail, and Wind & Wuthering. Phil Collins is singing lead on both.
If you're interested in the range of music at the time, the English bands usually considered the disparate pillars of (late 60s and) 70s prog rock were Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Genesis, and Jethro Tull. Other bands were making similar music to some of these around the same time, but these five can illustrate the range that there was then in English prog.
Of course, when Peter Gabriel left Genesis after "The Lamb" tour, he spent some time working with Robert Fripp, of King Crimson; Gabriel also worked later with Kate Bush, who had been discovered by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd; and other music projects evolved that involved cross fertilizations of a musical sort amongst different musicians coming from different bands.
If you are willing to try slightly obscure art-rock, rather than prog, I'd suggest that you check out the live recording by the band 801 (including Brian Eno and Phil Manzanera, who had played together earlier in Roxy Music) of The Beatles classic, "Tomorrow Never Knows".
Oh wow! Hearing people your age saying that your 4 favorites so far are Genesis, Rush, Yes and Floyd made my heart melt! Those are my four most favorite bands of my entire life (after The Beatles of course!) Love that this music is getting a new audience of young people. It's so timeless! Most music today just doesn't match the music of the 60's-90s.
Fun to see you guys recognize the intro to "Carpet Crawlers" on first listen!
Great ears!!! 🤪👍
Brilliant album. Lots of hidden jewels. Among them, In the Cage, the Lamia, 32 doors... Enjoy!
Even though this is part of a sidelong piece I still enjoy hearing it individually because the chorus is just so catchy! This is a great introduction to the album. I would highly recommend a reaction to Firth of Fifth.
Love this song. Thanks MM. Thanks Nick N Lex.🤩
You've got a ways to go with this one, but I'm glad you've gone back to the top - it's a monumental opening track. And yes, there are all sorts of reprises and motifs that show up in different guises. The whole thing is like a 15 course meal, and I wish you well on the journey!
the "problem" with the "the lamb" song is; when it ends and you know the next... you can not stop! "fly on the windshild" is expected and the next and the next and the next ... and so on... the whole album is catchy
This is a concept album and you shall listen to it following the order of the songs. For sure you can pick titles here and there but you'll miss the meaning of it. However I'm glad you pursue your journey through their discography
Haha! ".....Carpet Crawlers!" I got chills when you got that Nick; well done sir! :-D
Yes, no pun intended, but the bands of the 70's just were something else; Yes, Genesis, Floyd , and may I suggest Jethro Tull. There is something about this era, these bands just started I think a foundation for great music. They had to work really hard to get where they were, and man does it ever show, 50 years on! Thanks for keeping this era of music alive, as we watch you, we remember how and why we still so passionate about these songs... Thanks guys for just being you, take a hug from New Zealand...
Oh man wait till you get to "Anyway", my favorite off that album.
Timeless. Don’t know if you guys listened to “trick of the tale” yet but... worth a listen. Entangled.
Squonk. Los Endos.
Ripples, Squonk, Los Endos, all brilliant!
Opening salvo to the greatest double concept album of all time
One of the 20th centuries greatest works. Period!
Oh my god, great choice! I saw that tour front row center at the Palace Theater in Waterbury CT. 😁Seeing Peter Gabriel point-blanc was an amazing experience for sure. They did that whole double album in 2 sets then did a 1 hour encore of previous prog classics including Watchers From the Skies. It was nice to start seeing shows in 1971, I got to see most from the 70s & 80S. I was very lucky to see Genesis, Yes, King Crimson, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull & Golden Earring at their best. 😎
Back In NYC from that album is another winner.
LOL - Genesis, Rush, Yes and Pink Floyd - Welcome to the club!
Perfect framing of the start of the story.
Hey sweetie pies! ✌️🌞💮 Such great 💫 memory 🎶 music. 70s baby. 🎼🎹🎸
OMG I never noticed in all these years the middle is carpet crawl keys well spotted Nick and loved Lex cockney Pet-er!! Hilarious x
Buenísimo! Les falta eacuchar: Back in NY City, Musical Box, Cinema Show
The peak of the Phil Collins skills on drums.
The Lamb Lies on Broadway was the first (2)CD I ever bought as a schoolboy...every note, twist and turn is somewehere in my DNA. Hardly play it these days, but essential listening.
You would enjoy wacthing the video of the live version of "Suppers Ready". Peter Gabriel was always good with acting.
I can't wait until you cover anything from the "A Trick of the Tail" album, a great album through and through. Even though Peter is no longer with the band on it.
Absolutely!!!”Squonk” from Trick of the Tail is a great hidden gem. So sweet.
Totally agree! My favourite Genesis album along with Selling England
Who personifies a Volcano? Genesis! Epic.
I like "Wind and wutherings" a bit more, I don't know...for me they are twins albums, but one more solar and uplifting and the other more autumnal and melancholic...
@@Alix777. nice characterizations. I find I like (love) both, though am in awe of 'The Lamb'.
I've seen that if some things get blocked on TH-cam, others have posted those videos on Vimeo. Might be an option to use if they get blocked. Great album from Genesis too. I have that one on vinyl.
I´m a dyed in the wool Genesis and Yes fan. I also love Kansas, Jethro Tull, King Crimson etc (Mostly music you can dance to, ha ha).
That said, I think you guys should listen to the British band Camel. Even if you don´t have the time to react to them in the channel, I think you would enjoy their music very, very much. Cheers.
Yes! I have Camel listed in my “possible request list” for July (if I can nab a couple spots). Thanks 🤪
Gotta do whole album now Hooray My fav of all time It is allegory/mythology at its best The Lamia(side 2) is one of the most beautiful songs ever
This song & album changed my life...
I saw them in CT during their tour promoting this album. Absobloodylutely amazing. And strangely, just by coincidence, tonight I watched the film Buster, starring Phil Collins!
This whole (double) album is a masterpiece.
The albums ‘Seconds Out’ & ‘And then there were three’ will blow your minds.
This is one of my favorite albums of all time
Back in New York City, also worth a listen.
Check out In this Cage
React to King Crimson "Starless"!!! or really, any Crimson, preferably 21st Century Schizoid Man, Epitaph, In the Wake of Poseidon, The Lizard Suite (23 minute epic!) LArks Tongues in Aspic Parts 1 and 2, Fracture, Fallen Angel. Anyone of those, but really, just do Starless because its the best song of the rock era.
I agree 1000% as King Crimson is my all-time favorite band - especially live from 1973 to 1974 - sadly though, everything anyone tries to react to gets blocked on TH-cam. I was hoping that would change now that they've released all "official" album tracks on TH-cam over the last 6 months.
Great suggestions Tim, King Crimson is as killer prog as you will hear. Epitaph is beautiful! 😎
Except the idiot dungheap label are blockers.
TH-cam needs more King Crimson reactions - did they all get scared off haha?
'Starless' is awesome. Their live version from Live in Takamatsu, Japan, 2015 has to be one of rock's finest performances and perfect compositions.
Brilliant when seen live!!!
The music is very theatrical....you can almost feel the stage movements, the footlights dimming and the warmth of the spotlight on him at the 4:45 break... I love that you guys not only appreciate a variety of music, but you GET IT! I know you also like to explore new/current bands as well as these legends (whom we mercilessly shove at you)... I can imagine it's overwhelming to try to keep up with new stuff when there's such an extensive and rich back catalog to dive into.
The amazing emotional highs you're getting from their music are also in their guitarist Steve Hackett's early solo albums. Which is why I'm going to keep requesting his instrumental song "Spectral Mornings" . The first time I heard it I almost passed out from emotional bliss at one point. I know you two will love it.
You guys did great 👍. And there are more repeated melodies throughout - it incorporates parts of other tracks because it’s really all one epic story. And they would perform it complete with costume changes. As a music family, we’re trying to request more from side 1 in order. Def need tracks 2 & 3 together. Yay! 🤪
When you dive into the album, you'll find the significance of the fly in the intro.
The concept album to end all concept albums. The album must be followed from beginning to end in order and you should get familiar with the story you are listening to to fully appreciate its brilliance. The story was included on the inside of the double album. That album filled a quarter of my life under headphones so far and I still put it on from time to time after all this time being in my late 50's and all.
Best way not to get blocked is to interrupt with reactions. Keep up the good work.
Your excitement with discovering prog is wonderful 👍🏻
HAPPYYYYYY FRIDAY YOU GUYS! :) YOU SHOULD ENJOY THIS ANY WAY THAT YOU DO IT!
Awesome reaction guys. Great Canadian Genesis tribute band called: The Musical Box out of Montreal. They tour the world. Worth checking out if they come to your town. The Farm aus Deutschland is also very good. Next song I would suggest is Firth of Fifth by Genesis from SEBTP. Germany's Sina Drums (on TH-cam) also does a fantastic job on that song. You get a good feel for the complexity of Phil's drumming.
The Musical Box are brilliant! JUST like seeing the original. I saw them live when they did "Selling England" pretty well as a direct tribute to the original tour. Down to the costumes and everything. Brilliant!!!!
I have not seen them but read Genesis was floored. Collins said they were better they Genesis were. He sat down and played with them! Gabriel made a similar comment and took his kids to see them. "Praise from Caesar is praise indeed!"
Should've let it go into Fly on a Windshield. One of their heaviest jams!
Counting out time.... Great song
For the piano opening of this title track, Tony Banks wrote the part to be played so fast that no human could play it. Therefore, he was forced to invent a new method of playing the instrument: one hand directly over the other, each hand playing chords around the other's fingers. You have to see it in a Live video to believe it.
Yes! Hands Crossed over. Amazing. Thanks ! 🤪
He absolutely did not invent that "new method" it's actually pretty rudimentary for any serious keyboard player.
Agree that you need to take this right into the next song. The most metal you'll ever hear Genesis
"Waiting for the Windshield on the Freewaaayyyy".........
Hi I am really enjoying your reactions to Genesis, Yes etc.. I agree with the comment by TrevRockOne because of the concept storyline throughout the album. But some of the songs
can be listened to on their own if you keep in mind all the tracks are linked. Such as The Lamb lies down on Broadway, In the Cage, Carpet Crawlers, Counting out Time etc... Some of the instrumental tracks such as Hairless Heart can easily be listened to on its own. Although that one leads and flows into Counting out time. In fact later on the band kept such songs as The Cage
and Carpet Crawlers, The Lamb in their live sets as they individually stand out and work well live. THANKS Gerald
Nick...for prog rock, make that "Genesis, Yes, Renaissance (PLEASE react to more of theirs!), Rush, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Tull, ELP - and please, defo Marillion! Fish devotees will disagree, but the whole of the album "Season's End" is just brilliant, and "Berlin" is one of my favourite tracks ever. And the hell with King Crimson - their dungheap label are blockers - clearly don't want any new fans. But I still struggle to see past Genesis as my favourite band, even after 50 years! ps Again, LOVING your reactions! Love you two!
Glad to see you doing this song. A little disappointed that you didn't go on to the next song (which leads directly into the third song) - I'd have loved to watch that reaction.
The real dividing point in Genesis isn't Peter Gabriel's departure, it's Steve Hackett's. The first two albums they did with Phil Collins on vocals were very good; it was only after Steve Hackett left that they shifted, essentially, to a whole different genre.
Yes, concept albums often begin with Overtures, which often include some themes in upcoming songs. So it turns out it was actually APPROPRIATE that you did Carpet Crawlers first. Great and thoughtful reaction. Love you both!
the best Genesis lineup ever
Near the end, you hear them give tribute to a 1964 Soul/R&B track by (Ben E. King &) The DRIFTERS, “On Broadway” ... also covered by George Benson.
And the next track is great: “Fly on a Windshield” so maybe you heard a fly buzzing around ? 🤷🏻♀️ Lol. Thanks, guys!! I can’t wait to listen with you. 💕🤪
Please look into either a Patreon account or Google drive or Vimeo for blocked videos. You can put a link in the description that directs us to the video (if it gets blocked or you know it will). I know you’re so busy, but eventually that might help. Plus, with the Patreon account, some of us might become patrons with a monthly donation. Another reactor channel has over 4000 patrons in their Patreon account. At $1, $3, $5 per month, that adds up. They recently started doing a music-related movie once a month for the $5 donation so that was incentive for patrons to jump into the $5/month tier. That can be $10k - $20k a month. Plus, you can still make some blocked videos free and offer extra tracks in Patreon. Just a thought. 💖🤪 You’re growing quickly! Congrats.
@@michelemichele3375 Yes, I would support them on Patreon, and I truly believe they could get enough support there to retire from other work, except what they LOVE to do.

My Favorite Genesis Album!!! 'Fly On A Winshield"is a great song!!!,,,Great Album!!!
There are a bunch of album retrospective interviews scattered over youtube. Its interesting that this album is considered the height of their creativity but at the same time was the depth of their enmity between Peter and the rest of the band. Peter wrote the words; the band did the music.
They were all at the top of their performances. Definitely some of Phil Collins best drum work!
I only saw Genesis once in concert. May 29, 1987.
Guys another Great Genisis track is " Driving the last Spike " a masterpiece 🎶🎶🎶
Thank you Michelle.
Thanks for that! The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is my favourite Genesis album but I can easily forgive you for not wanting to take on the whole thing. It is quite an epic four sides of vinyl and it has quite a confusing story running throughout. If you wish to take on a couple of earlier songs, I would recommend "Firth of Fifth" or "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" from Selling England by the Pound, or maybe "The Musical Box" from Nursery Cryme. I'm sure you will like all of those songs. 😎
been listen to you guys for a while...just Subscribed.... "I might be old"....but I got to see this tour
My suggestion: If you do the full album for 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,' you should do it one side at a time -- as though you're doing 'Supper's Ready' four different times.
"The Lamb" was intended to be a Broadway production. It is a complete operetta meant to be played as an entire show. They were so far ahead of their time. I saw them in 76. It was an amazing experience to see and feel the music. I also was lucky because I grew up in the 70's and we drove around the back roads of Indiana listening to this music and smoking pot. Not too bad.
A brilliant concept album...
If you are going to do more of it , great. If not watch the whole package that I referenced below.
The lyrical aspect is very complicated and the graphic novel style video would be a good evening viewing. Enjoy !
The hole album is great! The story is awesome with Rael. Love it so much!
