Oh Great, another musician who moved to Sun Valley and knows it all... |

I saw them perform it in it's entirety with Gabriel in Amsterdam, 1975, in a beautiful old theatre. Soon after that they moved on to larger halls.

Ha, never occurred to me, but I can totally hear that. It's a similar technique to stuff on "Who's Next" |

"Back in NYC" is missing from the RP playlist... it compares quite favorably with this tune.

This one goes back a LONG way for me, over 35 years. I was shocked when I first heard it here.

Without question one of the colossal albums of the twentieth century. And so unappreciated.

This the original version and to really understand the song it is even better to understand the whole album concept..the MOST creative effort by Genesis, IMHO. Egos were put on the side and the blend of talents just takes over, even Enossifications by Eno are present.

After (almost) a lifetime of being a pretty hard-core Genesis fan, I finally bought this.
It's been said a million times already, but simply amazing.
Woldn't mind hearing 'Back in NYC' in the rotation, if it isn't already.

This is why I listen to Radio Paradise... The Shins next to Gabriel-era Genesis, very very nice |

Good call on this one!!! Very witty!
That's a great song from a great album. I too love the old Genesis. Keep it coming. Would enjoy hearing something from PG's "Security" CD also. |
