Blown away! Why oh why can't we have music like this today? Music crafted with heart and soul. Arrangements written over a period of months, not hours. Fleshing out a song's structure that results in something memorable.....something that is truly worthy of the word TALENT.
because less is more, such a complex structures and sophisticated compositions are obsolete and obscure for today listener who doesn't need to impressed anyhow to been affected
@@lownrgy Absolutely agree. Unfortunately music like this is seen by many as unappealing. Classic prog in the early seventies even then wasn't that popular in the UK at least. But we followers of the music were totally devoted and still are today. When I go to a 'The Musical Box' concert. The same old people are still there. Like me, they lost a lot of hair and what'a left is usually grey . . .
Thank you for sharing - a great treat to see and hear the amazing ARP Pro-Soloist, which is, by the way, not merely similar, but is EXACTLY the keyboard that Tony used on The Lamb (which I'm sure you know - I'm just saying it for you as it was obviously a great coup to land one of these now significantly old machines!) Thank you, you did a great job!
Actually this is almost 50 years old. I was a junior in college at the time so ‘74. It was about 3 years after that when I saw them live at the Fox Theater in Atlanta. This was before Chester Thompson started playing the drums on the road and BILL BRUFORD was with them. Hackett was still with them at that time. Incredible!
Thanks for your kind words. Greetings from New Jersey to Germany! It was truly exiting to figure out how Tony Banks utilized those sounds on the actual instrument. I really want to do another one, maybe Cinema Show...
I've had the Pro Soloist for years, from a studio that was going out of business. You're absolutely right about the tempo near the end, but it took like ten takes to get it right, and my hands were getting tired! And it was done without a backing track.. In regards to the two hand technique at the beginning, I originally learned it with one hand, and then I heard one of their live performances of RTS, and realized there was no way that TB possibly could be playing that fast with one hand!
this is a year old...but HEY my boyfriend jackson can play ANY genesis song...hes the best keyboard player I've ever met - and the lad is only 21! he hasn't been able to ever find anyone to keep up with him to jam with! but we live in clarksville and thats like an hour away from nashville! my email is lexigoron@yahoo.com. MESSAGE ME IF YOU SEE THIS!!
thanks for the insight - always wondered about those pitch bend effects - loved your rendition - riding the scree is an awesome synth solo - you did a great job without any backing track, and hearing that wonderful ARP made it all so special - thanks a million for posting - great job.
I just caught your video for the first time, and enjoyed it immensely! I followed this album since it came out, and you provided a great bit of insight and information as to how that solo was created, and played. Thanks for taking the time to shoot it. I thought you captured it it excellent fashion, and appreciate you playing it for us! You're lucky to be able to duplicate and play this great music, must be very rewarding, and once again, great job in playing this for us!
Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it. I'm looking to do 'Cinema Show' next, maybe within a couple of weeks. And that has even more ARP Pro Soloist madness!
Taken me 12 years to stumble across this. Whilst the Lamb is a lot to take in and for me the likes of Selling England, is a more enjoyable experience, some of Tony's work is his best ever....like this. Very well played. Loved it. Thanks.
Excellent! Also, congratulations on being one of few who are secure enough to admit it took several shots to get it right. I'm tired of reading "Don't judge this harshly; I pieced it together in 44 milliseconds." Genesis themselves made a few (albeit few!) mistakes on their albums & left them in (mostly because of studio cost/time), but it doesn't detract from the magnificence of it all. Lamb = best album ever.
This is great! First time I heard this song, I wondered who would've been brave enough to attempt this and put it on TH-cam, and it looks like you're the only one - and you do a fantastic job! :)
Very great! I am a big Genesis fan for many years and listened "The Lamb..." album about hundreds of times. You did this solo very well and I am really shure that Tony played the beginnig of this solo with both hands too,as like you did (I saw it on an old concert movie of the former tour in 1975). Furthermore the typical howling sound of the Pro Soloist is very unique and I love it! Greets from Germany.
Nice work,,,very interesting about the pitch bend,,I learned a lot,,very nice playing as well. I've been a Genesis freak since Apr 19,1974 when I was introduced to them live!!
This really made my day! I was wondering what keyboards Tony Banks used in early to mid Genesis, and that brought me to you. I didn't know about the aftertouch technique for pitch-bending, thanks for that.
Wow... I'm blown away. I'm a Monster Genesis fan myself and have watched a lot of the user posts. This one is one of my favorites I've seen! I thought you kicked IT'S ass! It must feel awesome to be able to play this great stuff. Way to go!
I actually met Robin Williams on the top of Whistler Mountain at a restaurant called Christines - really nice guy. Good work on your solo - Tony would be proud!
I mean, the playing is spot on, and to be honest, I could do a lot of banks stuff when I was in bands in the 80's, but I had a Korg 700s which is no Apr Pro soloist. Having the "actual" keyboard is amazing and so important. Sounds fantastic
I LOVE the lamb album.... Tony is a genius... I enjoyed your version of it so much I just watched it three times in a row and I'll probably watch it again when I've finished writing this! Very interesting intro too, I learnt a lot from it, thank you....
good show! I enjoy playing this solo when I can as well.. I have heard quite a few variations on it, but always nice to hear it on a pro soloist. cheers!
I love this video! You did it very well even capturing the difficult bends where the happen on record. That's the same exact version of the ARP Pro-Soloist that Tony used (gold paint with white left switches and square slider caps). Great!
Nice job! It would take me ages to get it good enough to be worth posting. Sounds great, and love the authentic vintage gear! Nice meeting you earlier today, btw. :-)
great job! I am a banks freak for over 20 years. I am a drummer but I still mess with keyboards. Thanks for riding the scree. NOW DO THE WHOLE FRIGGIN ALBUM WILLYA! ; )
Hi! Thanks, my Pro DGX definitely has a problem with the VCF, that's why. The Pro Soloist and ProDGX sounds very similar, there are some subtle differences on some presets (for example banjo, tuba, trombone), due to the different filter I think. Anyway 2 analog synth from the same models may sounds different, due to difference of adjustments, components...
This sound melts my heart.
It's not the playing, it's the inventiveness. Tony had that in abundance. Well done!
His solos are the 9nly examples of the portamento being used properly.

@@lownrgy Get out with that BS, music today is complete cr ap, 69-77 is the most glorious period of music in maybe a century
I learned the solo by ear. That's how I pretty much teach myself everything.
I'm impressed. Excellent job on one of my favourite keyboard solos of all time
Thank you for sharing - a great treat to see and hear the amazing ARP Pro-Soloist, which is, by the way, not merely similar, but is EXACTLY the keyboard that Tony used on The Lamb (which I'm sure you know - I'm just saying it for you as it was obviously a great coup to land one of these now significantly old machines!)
Thank you, you did a great job!
😂 "here I go!"
Kabrowiskibby Haha. Only now since I'm familiar with The Lamb do I get that.
evel knievel, you got nothing on me!
You are so cool being able to play this. This song rocks
Even at 40 years this solo still stands the test of time. Great job dude.

WOOOOOOOOOOOO the most difficult synth to play... amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great job, man!! That was on the money! Wish I knew more keyboard players here in East Nashville that liked jamming classic Genesis like this.
TheDailyVinyl LIVE! Thanks! I wish there were more people in Northern New Jersey that I could play this stuff with, too!!
Me

11 years later it's still sounds great.
Excellent video and playing!! Now that's some musicianship. Very interesting to see how that was played with the aftertouch. Super!!!
Thank you! (as you can see I don't check this page too much these days)
Finally, after decades of muddling thru, I learned about that synth. Thank you!
Nailed it! Took me right back to hearing the album.
ImPRESSive
I was searching for my first synth and this lead me to you, recall it from early 80's
I always tense before playing a Genesis cover video, but no need! Makes me wanna accompany you on drums. Lovely job.
Here I go!
Very nice!!

This is actually the ring tone on my phone now.
Thanks for your comments, I really appreciate it. I'm looking to do 'Cinema Show' next, maybe within a couple of weeks. And that has even more ARP Pro Soloist madness!
just a couple more weeks!
That was awesome! Loved the speed at the beginning.
I love this sound! Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic! Always wondered how those bends were possible...aftertouch!
12 years later, if you're going to have only one video up on your channel, this is not a bad one to have :) Happy new year everybody! 2022!!
With that, I just added another video... :)
Tony Banks !!!!!!! The most " UNSUNG " Keyboard player ever !!!!!!!!!!
Meraviglioso l'Arp pro soloist ❤️ e bravissimo tu nell'esecuzione 👏👏👏

Just Amazing!!! Soo good, I am going to listen to the original song to recall this sounds...great job!!!
Thanks!!
7 people were too jelly to appreciate this
❤❤❤
Hold on to that Arp Pro, it is a legendary keyboard. Well done.
VERY nice!!! One of my fave Lamb moments, as well. Nice presentation!
Thank you!
thanks for playing, bye!
Please come back! The world needs to hear more of your covers!
This was dead-on! You nailed it!!
Very Nice Thank You for the effort. Much appreciated.
Friggin awesome dude 👏
Very great! I am a big Genesis fan for many years and listened "The Lamb..." album about hundreds of times.

i would give my soul to have that cheesy little pro soloist, this sounds so phantastic!!!
KICK ASS!! Nice video. Great to see the dynamics of the keyboard up close
Nailed it.
Sound pretty sweet!! You nailed it Buddy!
That kicked the aforementioned ass!
My favorite rarely heard Genesis mix. Combined with Phil's complex beat, played loud it's one of their best.
Nice work,,,very interesting about the pitch bend,,I learned a lot,,very nice playing as well. I've been a Genesis freak since Apr 19,1974 when I was introduced to them live!!
Incredible Cover. ARP Pro Soloist , it's my favorite Synth!
This really made my day! I was wondering what keyboards Tony Banks used in early to mid Genesis, and that brought me to you. I didn't know about the aftertouch technique for pitch-bending, thanks for that.
That was amazing man, congrats! that solo is really hard to mimic
Brilliant! F**king brilliant!
Wow... I'm blown away. I'm a Monster Genesis fan myself and have watched a lot of the user posts. This one is one of my favorites I've seen! I thought you kicked IT'S ass! It must feel awesome to be able to play this great stuff. Way to go!
I'm amazed. Well done!
Amazing playing. Bravo!
Very good! Congrats!
@BaronvonCase Thank you! The Lamb is also happens to be my favorite album too!
I actually met Robin Williams on the top of Whistler Mountain at a restaurant called Christines - really nice guy.
Good work on your solo - Tony would be proud!
Thanks, man! I appreciate the video response, too!
I mean, the playing is spot on, and to be honest, I could do a lot of banks stuff when I was in bands in the 80's, but I had a Korg 700s which is no Apr Pro soloist. Having the "actual" keyboard is amazing and so important.
Sounds fantastic
I really appreciate that. Thank you.
Awesome playing Bill! 😍
Nice. Tony Banks never did get the recognition that he deserves for the " Genesis " sound.
Amazing performance!!!!
Awesome Bill, you have so much talent , now a subsciber
I LOVE the lamb album.... Tony is a genius... I enjoyed your version of it so much I just watched it three times in a row and I'll probably watch it again when I've finished writing this! Very interesting intro too, I learnt a lot from it, thank you....
Great work old chap !...always one of my favorite pieces from Lamb....love to hear you do in the cage or colony of slippermen
Thanks you! Some day perhaps....
very well played - I never knew how he got the pitch bend on those notes - great job, and thanks for posting!
Great work man!
Love it
yah, he nailed it!
I just read this. That is a killer accomplishment. kudos
Bill, you're awesome. I'm proud to be your AXP brother. :-)
👍
I'm in the Book of Genesis, a Genesis tribute band in England. Excellent demo!
good show! I enjoy playing this solo when I can as well.. I have heard quite a few variations on it, but always nice to hear it on a pro soloist. cheers!
Awesome ...
INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing it!!! I´m working in The Battle of Epping Forest!
I love this video! You did it very well even capturing the difficult bends where the happen on record. That's the same exact version of the ARP Pro-Soloist that Tony used (gold paint with white left switches and square slider caps). Great!
love the sound!!
really authentic!
Please!! Keep doing videos like this!!
Thanks for this. Really interesting.
No substitute for old school keyboards!
Really nice job, I am also a huge Genesis freak, I saw them do that live with Gabriel and also the selling England tour. You did an admirable job!!
That is sooo coool!
Awesome, loved it.
NICE!!! digging the Poly800 love too. So... you up to "Three Sides Live" version of 'In the Cage" to show us hacks how it's supposed to be done? :-)
Very Very Nice !!!
Cool cool, man!! Although the In the Cage solo is my absolute FAVE, Riding the Scree is incredible, as well. Great job!!!! :-D
Awesome, nicely executed!
Excellent, thanks !!
Excellent. great work! ******
Nice job! It would take me ages to get it good enough to be worth posting. Sounds great, and love the authentic vintage gear! Nice meeting you earlier today, btw. :-)
great job! I am a banks freak for over 20 years. I am a drummer but I still mess with keyboards. Thanks for riding the scree. NOW DO THE WHOLE FRIGGIN ALBUM WILLYA! ; )
Super !!! Muy Bueno !!!
Excellent, thanks
