Me too.. same feeling great song

Naturalist First! Man, at the age of 13? Wow! That was 'super perception absorption reaction'! My first cryings were that to the Duke assortment of songs summer of 1994. Don't know why I was such a late comer! It's a tug of war between- between that of Ripples, and as you had mentioned-your favourite, that being Mad Man Moon! That's astounding! I relate to Ripples more in the sense that I'm up against the tide of animosity, opposition-namely that, yes, a jealous pool! A very and such jealous pool seemingly thwarting my love life continuously and relentlessly! Yes..., her thinking the world of me and I her..., the magic between us came to an end very shortly. First composition of any sort that I sent to her believe it or not was Steve Hackett's Voyage of The Acolyte! That was August /September of 2021. The song that brings me back to the season a little prior to when we first met would be the animated version of Seven Stones! It was autumn! Then Heathaze struck me after sitting at a park pic nic table seeing around me photographing the leaves having changed! That was the day after our fourth time meeting in person. The afternoon when the beauty of magical opportunity bloomed! Being 55 as well..., she was 12 years younger than me. Our relationship only lasted 8 days in person! She gave upon me officially January 21, 2022. The one year Anniversary (...some Anniversary I tell ya.) of our magic is soon approaching three days from now! Evidence of Autumn describes how I feel each and every day. Rarely a day where I don't cry profusely! "And though the pain is dim A something still remains Though you hardly can recall Her face or form Her memory lingers on Ooh she made everything feel right She came in like an angel (in like an angel) Into your lonely life (into your life) And filling your world with light" ...and nobody told me I was 'oh so lucky'. For luck had nothing to do with it.

@Shabda Sound Awesome! One of my tearful favourites! Man, what a moving song!!!!!!

I'm 59 this album and "Then there were 3" was my adolescence on vinyl. Peace and much love from Detroit MI.

My favorite song by Genesis too! I'm glad I was introduced to this wonderful band by my parents! I grew up with a lot a of good music from the 70s and 80s thanks to them.

The best.

Yeah if you like fairly tales and wizards - junk

@@chrispawl junk?you obviously don’t like great musicians

​@@chrispawl Yes, I do like those things. Are you an "I Can't Dance" fan?

@@mr.brenman2132 Probably a Bon Jovi fan

phil?

A great piece of music!!

Phil's vocals on Trick of the Tail are really underrated. They are more theatrical and not shrill like 80s Phil.

I'd agree with that assessment. Some great drumming and definitely vocals. For me, it's between this album and 'And then there were three' for Phil's best vocal performance.

One of my favorite albums from Genesis.

I agree with you!!!! Tony Banks is the holy monster of prog rock! He's a genius!

Agreed ... hands down, man.

After the first minute of "Dance On A Volcano", it's "Peter Who?" You knew they were going to be just fine. And best of all, we got Peter's excellent first album that year as well.

Thank god they continued the band. They had a lot to give already! Phil emerged as lead vocals for a whole album for the first time when he only had recorded his voice just one track in SEBTP. Justice done. He was (is) a great singer and fit perfectly for Genesis.

Listen to Brand X !

Love hearing phil’s voice!!! He rocks!!!

Their best album by some way.

Grazie

A. True and sincere GENESIS Fan - GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER

Grazie mille!!

Thank you

Again- Love this so!

I agree with you - Trick of the Tail has always been my favorite Genesis album, and Mad Man Moon, Entangled, Ripples and Squonk are my favorite songs from this album. Also have seen them at least 3 or 4 times and remember that the boys liked to play Squonk and Los Endos frequently in concert. And, honestly, I can't imagine these songs being sung by anyone who is not Phil.

Yes, he is wonderful here at interpreting his part.

Perfection

And mine too. Therefore, my all-time most beautiful song.

Second only to Ripples for me.

@@edlawn5481 Ripples is also bful, but Mad Man Moon I find quite more elaborated and musically rich.

@@Hammillian7 it's True!!

Good taste is a two-edged sword. You can appreciate what is great, but you are constantly surrounded by those who cannot.

I have bought a number of albums from newer bands, The Editors are one of my favourites. However, it's usually the older stuff l listen to more, the 70's were for me the greatest era for wonderful music, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Wishbone Ash, Led Zeppelin, Moody Blues, Barclay James Harvest, Be Bop Deluxe, Steely Dan, Roxy Music etc etc 😉 The list could go on and on!

@@keithjones6023 ... you got that , brother ! We've gotten to listen from 50, 60s til now. But the 70s are the shit, man !

As pointed out in other comments, as a keyboard player I can tell you this would be damned near impossible to play live (even for Tony).

@@swankeepers They should have gotten Phil to play some of the keyboards... He could play a little

@@swankeepers The band always overlooked this and The Lamia, Steve eventually played the latter live after I kept pestering him to.

@@swankeepers Surely they could've hired a few extra live session players to fill it in? Oh well too late now I suppose :\

It's not underrated. Had glowing reviews when it was released, and it is generally regarded as being one of the band's finest releases.

enjoy the journey, get some good headphones and even better weed, and welcome to Genesis. Start at the beginning.

I prefer this to the "oversinging" Phil on the later albums.

Cinema show, one for the vine, ripples, snowbound and entangled all give this a run for the money for being beautiful imo.

@@Eleventhearlofmars you forgot Blood on the rooftops

@@Eleventhearlofmars Cul-de-sac 🥹

@@maeu59 Blood on the rooftops is a Hackett/Collins song. Banks was not involved in the writing. He even acknowledged it was one of Hackett 's finest moments in the band

@@jaregoguzoref4821 I’m aware of who wrote it , I was saying it’s just another one their beautiful songs.

If even Tony Banks is scared of it, it must be very hard to play ... So they better go with Alien Afternoon. ^_^

@@sophieschollsreinkarnation5078 Well, that one is easier... i love seeing Tony play that song in the CAS tour videos because it really seems that he really enjoys to play that one and that motivates me to play it too lol

There are some complicated Arp 2600 overdubs 3/4 into the song. Maybe 3 or 4 layer + the piano + the little high notes in the end of that part. I love it. Maybe my Genesis-favorite. Could be played on my funeral, no problem. regards, Denmark.

@@peterthomsen4960 Regards... i have family in Denmark, i almost went there once, but the south american abyss is hard to escape.

One of the problems with Genesis live is that Tony has been quite protective of his keyboards, not letting anyone else to do even the smallest bit, which, if e.g. Phil wuold have got the chance, would have managed it perfectly. But, this is just speculation.

They’ve never played this song live and certainly wouldn’t start now.

@@Eleventhearlofmars probably, but let me dream

@@leonardosolmesky I’m with you.

Phil would have to get his "younger" vocal range back. At this point, it's impossible. And if they were to transpose it into a lower key, it just wouldn't sound the same, instrumentally as well as vocally. This album, and especially this song, is what really hooked me and turned me into a Genesis fan.

I know that some fan bands have tried... Steve Hackett i think too, but they all agree that this song is very very hard, that and One for the Vine.

I thought of ELP, too. Mike Rutherford’s part reminded me of Keith Emerson in some places.

Dear miss little i must confess i don't know elp that much

@@etiennemaimbourg-jb9mr - Emerson, Lake, and Palmer. Very popular when I was in my teens. Let me see if I can put a link in here to one of my favorites. It shows the full showcase of their sound, as you’ll see if I can find it to put here. The song is “Trilogy,” which is also the title of the Album. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eLOAd6qAxLupdYk.htmlsi=iVSme1xI1wmesqwG

The music was still traditional Genesis at this stage. Even now I find it hard to tell the difference between Peter and Phil. In fact someone actually told Gabriel that they preferred his version of Ripples to Phil Collins version. Peter thouht this was hilarious as he'd never sung the song in his life!

@@taxidude Because it was Hackett that was the true Genesis sound

my two favorite bands. Both have beautiful compositions and a lot of it is thanks to their keyboardists

👌🏼

Hi silver fox. It's not everytime but this is the first song that followed me in my dreams. And of course it was about flying.
