An old worn cliche I know, but for me, never the same after Duke.
 
Would pay a fortune to see the original line up take to the stage one more time. Alas, never happened again for Floyd after Live 8, we're only here once fella's, so come on and get to it.
pretty sure everyone here would like that. but collins cant even wipe himself after the spine(i believe) damage.

Upper neck vertebrae damage. But he is drumming so I expect he can do many other things

Foxtrot around 74. A real eye opener for me on music in general.

No, wait!
It was The Lamb, way earlier, when I'd just started listening to Rush and Kansas. I really didn't like that then. Still far from a favourite.

I told this story several times, but one more doesn't harm.

It was September 1977, I was already listening YES, ELP and PINK FLOYD but not a Proghead, so was also in the top 40's

My best friend (who only listened Prog), invited me to see a Peruvian band called YOU, who played some Beatles, Wings, Badfinger and some own Poppy themes, they were huge in Lima, and played at 8:00 PM, but he insisted to go at 5 pm to see the openers (FRÁGIL  http://www.progarchives.com/artist.asp?id=113  ), something strange in him, because openers used to be terrible.

From the start, everything was strange, they played in an outdoors auditorium, no chairs, people sitting in the grass, with a middle size acoustical shell, and the first thing I noticed, was that there were very few women, mos of the guys with long beards and green USA army jackets, so got two beers (remember I was 13) and sitted to listen the band.

The first song was an organ and mellotron opener that sounded like Bach, and suddenly a guy with a strange vampire dress started to sing, it was fantastic, I  couldn't miss a second, the song was Eatcher of the Skies.

Then they played Your Move (which I already knew) but then started with the Genesis avalanche, including  "I Know What I Like", "Can-Utility and the Coastliners", "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight","Get 'em Out by Friday", "Squonk", and closed with "Eleventh Earl of Mar" while the lead singer (Andrés Dullude) changed outfits.

I was really impressed and became an instant Genesis fan (The guys did outstanding covers before playing their own stuff some years later)m, so called my parents who were in USA and they brought me all Genesis albums, from Trespass to W&W, so I can safely say that I listened all the Golden Genesis albums almost at the same time.

Iván 

PS: The concert ended in a riot, when You started to play "Silly Love Songs", all the people who went for Frágil (including myself and my friend) started to shout "Fragil - Fragil", and the guys from You shouted something like "We are the stars, they are only fillers", that's when some people started to throw beer cans and lets say 70% of the audience left.

The first one was Invisible Touch, which I bought second hand, very cheap. It must have been 1990-1992 sometime. I liked the album. I had probably heard "Tonight Tonight" and "Invisible Touch" before.
 
I wasn't listening much to music back then, because I didnt hear much that I liked and the only music I was exposed to was what I heard on the radio and the music my brothers were listening to. Great music experences was rare for me, I wasn't aware of all the great stuff that existed. But that changed with internet.
 
In 1996 I got Selling England By The Pound. It was the first album that really got me into Genesis. Then I bought Nursery Cryme. The following two years I bought Foxtrot and W&W and ATOTT, one at a time.
 
In 98-99 I got The Lamb, Trespass, From Genesis to Revelation and probably Live, the last two were second hand. I only have ATTWT on LP. The rest I don't have.

Selling England was the first for me, it was a wonderful listen the first time and I continue to enjoy very much although The Lamb is now my favorite album.

Same for me, went from Selling, to Trespass, then Lamb. But Selling England by the Pound really got me hooked on progressive rock music and it still remains one of my favorite albums.
