Very difficult to choose, but I get my most intense prog moments during "The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man" and Apocalypse in 9/8.
WOW!!!!!!!

The first part and last part are my favorites. Sorry, don't remember the names (I think the first is Lover's Leap?) and I've been looking for my Foxtrot CD for months now (  ) so I don't have it to look at either.

9/8.
Listen to how Phil develops the picture from the basic bass pedal pulse.
Bum-Bum.
Bum.
Bum-Bum-Bum.
This is classic genuis of the young Phil Collins.
His hands support the basic pulse and build steadily in intensity with
angular and incisive firework fills.
But the foot...
Ahh... the foot iz da killa.
At first spurious and intermittant.... It builds and builds in velocity and
persistance... By the end of the section it has mounted to a herculean
series of ostinato doubles and triplets that push the song tension to a
furious apogee.
No one has ever matched the young Collins on drums for sheer passion,
MUSICALITY and grace in the history of prog.
He was King.
King.
The most fun part of watching the 'real' Genesis live....
Was watching Peter...
Watch PHIL.
SM.

Of course it is "Ikhnaton And Itsacon And Their Band Of Merry Men". They found the perfect combination of anger and euphoria, Banks keys are reminiscent of heaven, and then Hackett's gut slicing solo breaks out of the driving rhythm, slowly erupting into divinity. Genius.

can that be? simple: in the live version of "Supper's Ready" on
"Seconds Out" Tony Banks repeats the studio version of his solo in the
"Apocalypse" part note for note. this is highly disappointing; that
part calls for a real wild keyboard attack live, with lots of
improvisation. how very boring. sit, Banks, and write "I shall not
repat my solos live" 500 times |
That's not Tony's style...he is classically trained and is a
perfectionist. He never showed off or tryed to steal the show,
that's why he repeats the solo note for note-- it serves a purpose in
the song. No reason to change this section's role in the album. |
I disagree; when I go to a concert, I don't want solos to be repeated note for note; I could listen to the band at home then

I love the intro, especially the studio version with the dual vocals one octave apart. I also love the "today's the day to celebrate" bit, but the highlight for me is the ending.

The whole piece is my favorite prog  , to pick one part over this others is almost too hard  . Today I would say Willow's Farm, But tomorrow it could be Lover's Leap. It all depend on mood I guess.

Mine's gotta be
Itsacon and Itacon and their band of merry men

I like apocalypse but its a touch too long in places.
The whole thing is a masterpiece, so it shouldnt matter.

I've known it for so long, that I now appreciate each and every single part of it.
Yet I must admit that the sections that struck me most at first were Willow Farm and Apocalypse in 9/8...so weird the first, so nervous the second...
Still today, the part I find myself singing from time to time is Apocalypse in 9/8...

The whole thing should be taken in as one IMO. It was written and arranged as a suite, but if I had to choose, I would go for the 9/8 section, although Lovers Leap is good, but then again...
You see what happens!! I have to listen to the whole damn thing!

Agreed. I have some Genesis live material and I keep waiting for something special to be added to the songs and they repeat them verbatim. That pisses me off and just like you, I would rather sit in the comforts of my home and spin the studio lp then see them repeat it live.
PS....Willow Farm for me.

That makes three of us. Why go to a concert if it's going to be note for note?

No doubt: Apocalyps 9/8 with that mindblowing, psychedelic inspired organ solo from the 'upper stiff lip' Tony Banks, what a contrast! By the way, Tony Banks was know for his inability to improvise!
