This too.....
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.
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?

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

the guitar solo on Firth to Fifth is also heavy on the bass-pedals, not bass guitar but a Moog taurus or something like that, and it creates those awesome drones in the guitar solo
