He was brilliant in many of his costumes, but if I have to choose I would also say that the Slipperman with its balls blowing up with compressed air was probably his most accomplished one.

You call (10:12) creepy? OK. I like Magog better. I find it to be his most impressive outfit ever. The mask looks like a geometric helmet.

Yeah I know he plays bass pedals, but not in this song.

According to wikipedia: In the earlier years of Genesis he used to play Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesiser. So maybe it's there but we can't see it. The sound quality doesn't really help it stand out either.

I think so. Maybe in this instance they weren't used and Banks provided the bass. Seems you are right. No bass in this song besides Hackett's bassy strumming.( when he's not doing a blistering solo)

I didn't see any bass pedals, but perhaps I missed them. Did Rutherford play them along with the guitar?

Bass pedals were used when two guitars were needed. Also Emerson filled in on synth bass when Lake played lead.

The video for "The Musical Box" appeared to have Rutherford playing some sort of guitar; no bass. At least that's my uneducated read of it. I only brought it up because I saw a performance by The Cars on The Colbert Report recently and there was no bass player there either. (Benjamin Orr having died some years ago.) It seems that as long as there are two guitars and keyboards bass isn't necessarily needed. Live, anyway. I dunno; it was just a random thought.

I also like the foxhead and the dress of Jill (Peter's wife) best.

Don't both songs have bass on them? I'm pretty sure Rutherford played bass live.

Cool video. Peter sure was (is?) a unique guy!
Does this song live prove that you don't need a bass guitar in a song?

Easily the creepiest is the old man during The Musical Box, especially at the end (10:12):

Does anyone know the story behind the reverse mohawk hair thing ? In looking at some shows on you tube, it looked it appeared sometime in early 1973 or late '72 and predated the costumes. It got to be somewhat freaky with the pasty white face - haha. Did he ever state publicly what he was going for with that look?

I was watching this past weekend a 6 part VH1 Classic Rock series on Rock and the part on Art/psych rock was pretty good, I don't recall if I had seen it before. Anyhow the part on Genesis had Phil talking about PG costumes and the Fox one.....apperantly PG did not advise the group on this one and the rest of the guys were like ...."Wowww really dude!! And now the comedians come out next...!" It was pretty funny how Phil said it. But they all knew PG had something special going with the costumes, as Phil explained, early on they were pretty boring on stage to look at.
