Like it or not (I do), but yes, a travesty that this is the radio edit version, totally cutting the keyboard solo. I personally think they did a good job reinventing themselves for the 80s/new wave/pop music scene, and I stuck with them to the bitter end. Favorites from the different eras: Selling England by the Pound, Trick of the Tail, the "Shapes" album.
Album version: 7
Radio Edit version just heard: 3

Used to play the hell out of this cassette (whoa!) when I was in 8th grade/freshmen year of H.S. Personally, I think this is a great album.

ChileAle wrote:Boo, I though RP was Phill Collins-Free... too pop for me and to bear the noble Genesis name. Sorry I'm just a Peter Gabriel die-hard Have to agree. Everything Genesis post-Gabriel has the sound of "trying to be a great band sans the heart and mind". Never quite make it. Too strained. |

in the land before pcs, before cds, there was fm radio...and they played the hell out of this song, so much so that i can live the rest of my days and not have to hear it again. one of those neverending songs we referred to as "bathroom breaks"...

Sadly, all downhill after Duke  Better when Gabriel was still part of the band. The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was their finest album. Did I hear Phil Collins is now retired? Boy, do I feel old. |

This clearly hasn't aged well at all and if I never have to hear abacab and sussudio ever again then that would be just fine. Same thoughts exactly. My high school room mate loved Genesis, sort of had me brainwashed for a bit. Now I was just saying to myself: "What was he thinking?" |

Wait, was this the shortened version? Please don't cut out the long keyboard piece, that is the best part!

I love this! Play more Genesis, from the teenage years, through midlife, to adulthood.

Great choice Bill. :-) Blast from the past... See, the 80's weren't a total waste of time after all. :-)
