Great job, thank you. One bit you disappointingly neglected however was Alan White's key arrangment contributions to Machine Messiah. There were shots of him standing behind a xylophone but the opportunity was missed.

Basically Jon & Rick were stuck in the middle ages and the rest of the band wanted to move on to the 1980s

This album goes over the top of many people's heads but to me it is in my top two albums of all time. Together with Yes's Relayer it gets me exited and brings me to tears loving it so much. There is so much beautiful intricacy that it boggles the mind.

Lee, this channel is a diamond shining in the sludge of KZfaq. I love these videos, they are my 'go to' at the end of a stressful day, accompanied by a large glass of red. They must take a huge amount of work, but the superbly paced editing and your calm, engaging voice over make it all seem effortless. Wonderful stuff, keep going sir.

I lived in Brazil until 1985 and owned all the early Hackett albums (Voyage, Please don't Touch, Spectral Mornings, Defector, Cured, Highly Strung, and Bay of Kings). Ms. Poor's family was involved in my High School and there was a yearly Art Show. One year (1984 or 85) I saw Steve and Kim walking across the soccer field toward the main exhibition. I was so shocked to see them that I never asked for an autograph. In hindsight, I'm glad I didn't and allowed them their personal space. He continues to put out great music!!!

The 77 tour had its problems but musically speaking the spark was still there. Probably my favorite moment of the Oakland performance is during “Have a Cigar”, where you can hear Dave and Roger audibly stifling laughter in their attempts at singing the song. It’s a bittersweet note of unity, that somehow made this band for awhile more bigger as they were also at their most fragile to each other.

My first exposure to Genesis was to hear "Entangled" on the radio when I was a teen. My reaction was to turn off the lights, close my eyes, and put my head close to the radio horn. My favorite song ever since then, more than 40 years ago.

The worst album they ever made. I’m a huge fan but this album for me is a massive fail. I don’t like any track on it. Whenever i saw them live, which was many times, I’d go outside or to the bar when Gates of Delirium was played. It’s the worst long form track they ever did.

Thank you, this is very thoughtful and interesting. I personally never listened to this album until 1986 during the most alone time in my life, after college and living in a remote area in WVA. My heart was torn as I was trying to transition from a hometown full of family and friends to the life after where I knew no one, experienced an all too brief encounter with love, and felt like my life was ending. I felt like my life was a small feather in a fast-flowing stream with no control and no hope of ever gaining it in time to save myself. These songs and their beautiful complexities take me back there as I of course now know just how young and naïve I was. This album is like a door to a room where my life and crushed spirit began rising from their darkest period.

Certainly not on purpose, as she was undeniably a huge influence on him, but after listening to "Out Of Tunnel's Mouth" and hearing a few interviews with him around that time I would imagine anything regarding Poor he'd like to be infrequent...I wouldn't want Jo to see it! Great video, though. Tells it like it was. I met him at a Tower Records store in Southern California back in '93...he was promoting "Time Lapse" and he was all alone in there. He signed a copy of my CD "Bay Of Kings" and I told him I was having trouble finding his previous albums on CD. He said "Oh yes, we're working on that". Really nice guy. Later that evening I saw him and his band play at the Coach House. The place was packed but it's a small venue. Man, it was LOUD.

Well, that ties up some loose ends... Thankyou, pal. An omnibus of a revue with so much going on - and it needs another couple of viewings. AHM is one song I'll play at least 5 times per week - in the car, on my walks, on my computer. One thing that did strike me is how bad their voices really are! Perhaps the tracks are out-takes, pirated or demo tapes, or just not-as-per-the-record, but there's so many rough edges to their voices, lack of pitch, or simply because of the voices being isolated. I still love the songs, though - will just hear them differently from now on. The provenance of all the songs, and their place in the canon of Floyd music, was the biggest eye-opener for me. They will all mean a lot more to me now. Thankyou again....
