Absolutely superb!!!!! But a Genesis keyboard player must never smile :o)
Perchè no? Gode . Qui non si imta i personaggi. Si suona divinamente chi si ama in maniera divina.
Tony banks never smiles
In the end,who cares?It means he's enjoying it;must!!
@@nicolacambi9671 E condivido in pieno;miglior commento.Meno male che lo fa Mike..😄
lol ... and drummer should start getting bald...
I close my eyes and I am taken back to 1974 again to when I saw Genesis play this song. I’ve seen so many bands who play their music but The Watch are the only ones that sound completely like the original Gabriel era Genesis. WONDERFUL. Grazie mille. 🙏
Have you never seen The Musical Box perform? They are amazing and the only band to receive full support and recognition from original Genesis 🙂

Mr. David Allen? Back from the grave with barely a vowel missing! ;-)
Yes sir, I have indeed, many, many times. I had tickets for the upcoming 'The Lamb' show before Kung Flu scuppered it but I think they are still valid for when it does happen again so we will see. I saw them up in Lisbon on their last tour and it was amazing, not least because the auditorium there at the university is a convertable lecture theatre/function suite and so the first however many rows of seats were literally armchiars really close up to the stage. I also saw them do The Lamb some years ago, more years ago than I can remember, in Amsterdam I think it was. That was quite weird because I had originally seen Genesis for my one and only Gabriel-era show on the ill fated The Lamb tour and so it was very special for me.
But I must say though that IMHO The Watch sound MUCH more faithful to the Gabriel-era Genesis than The Musical Box, mainly as a result of the singer's voice and the sheer brilliance of their guitarist - they're all amazing musicians and it's so clearly a passion with them. I think that The Musical Box's guitarist is possibly their "weak" link - if you can call being extremely skilful and proficient in any way "weak"... he's VERY good but the guy in The Watch is simply stunning. The Watch do not make that much effort to mimic the original show's lighting, costumes and effects though, it's JUST the music. That said both Steve Hackett and his brother often play with The watch so although they aren't sanctioned as such by the real band they are clearly very well respected. They have made several albums of their own work too and in their home country (Italy) they play more of their own work than they do the Genesis tribute thing.
Have you ever seen G2: Definitive Genesis? They used to be great until their singer died but sadly they've gone downhill rapidly for me and I've lost all interest in them now.
Cheers sir...
PS I had the pleasure of discussing The Musical Box and tribute bands in general with Phil Collins once and he was so unbelievably positive. He told me that he thinks it is great that The Musical Box actually put more bums on seats in The Albert Hall than they did in the corresponding period!
check out the genesis tribute band the musical box.
@@lferlan I've seen them twice and they are so amazing. So true to the music, the sound, theatrics, everything. Awesome band
Great singer
Italians really have a reverence for Genesis. So cool.
Verissimo ❤!
Almost 50 Years ago , I saw this played live by GENISIS , in Quebec City .
And it still make me very proud to see that we all still LOVE this timeless music
50 years of the album,and Italy's winning European Cup!Not to be forgotten The Music Box,tribute band from the same area.Chinese descent?
me too... manchester in my case. Ah me... we're getting old! ;-)
@@martinjf467the music never gets old,especially some.
@@michelelaraia7358 the music certainly doesn't gae does it. But me.... ahhh well... I creak a lot more when I walk than when I first saw Genesis! :-)
@@martinjf467 Close to you.Happy afternoon,lukewarm light wind here.
Steve Hackett is a genius guitarist who was years ahead of his time when this was wrtten. Props to this guitarist for doing this song justice.
he perform with Genetics from Argentina.
Hackett joined after the song was completed and the guitar parts were written mainly by Anthony Philips and Mick Barnard.
@@briane5706 except the ripping lead guitar parts (by Hackett)
Edit: I deleted a comment before this that said basically “Hackett wasn’t ahead of his time” - no one replied specifically to it
@@briane5706Interesting. Can you back that up? AFAIK there are no extant recordings with Mick Barnard, and no evidence that the song was "completed".
Steve Hackett himself reports that he was present at Mick Barnard's last concert with Genesis - having a tape of THAT show would be amazing!
Tony Banks made the following comment about Barnard's guitar playing:
"He was OK, but not really forceful enough. I remember when we had already auditioned Steve but were still rehearsing with Mick which wasn't a very nice thing to do, we were doing the end part of "The Musical Box" and he was playing this little guitar phrase over the top of it and we thought this was really good. So just as we were about to boot him out he did something quite good."
Alas, no-one seems to know if that "something quite good" was taken over by Hackett.
Please when this is over...come to America. You will be supported here. Have followed Genesis, Gabriel. The Musical Box, Hackett throughout the years. You are absolutely brilliant. Thank you for keeping the fire burning.....
They just MUST play at Red Rocks in Denver. That would be amazing!
Just incredible, how close his voice is to the early Gabriel. Great job from everyone in the band, the look and the quality of the Studio Session is superb, too. Looking forward to see you live in Germany! Hopefully next year.
STREPITOSI! GRAZIE ! NON SI PUÒ VIVERE SENZA I GENESIS
PRECISION! Hard to imagine the hours you spent learning and perfecting this masterpiece. Well done! Please come to America!
Simply superb, and there's nothing simple about it!
This was my first glimpse of Genesis and symphonic rock. At the time in 1973, I was into hardrock like Deep Purple and Black Sabbath with lots of guitars and heavy drumming. I "hated" calm music. I regularly went to my local music shop to look for and listen to new music. I saw the Genesis live album and it looked interesting. The song starts very calm and normally I would have stopped listening after 30 seconds but there was something that made me continue to listen to it. And after 3,30 I was rewarded with the heavy part. I was hooked. I bought the record and it is still one of my favorites. It opened up the world of symphonic rock (as we called it then, nowadays it is progressive rock) I found Gentle Giant, Yes, PFM, Camel, King Crimson and many more.
Why don't you touch me....... touch me.... Why don't you touch me........ touch me..... touch me now...... now..... now.... now.... now.... now........ Simply a Masterpiece.
Absolutely amazing ... a lifelong yes, genesis, pink floyd, ELP, king crimson, rush and led zep fan bows his head in reverence to your amazing recreation....
The best Genesis tribute band ever
This gave me goosebumps. Thank you for keeping this incredible music alive
Incredible. We are all in your debt for breathing new life into one of the great prog masterworks.
Am a 65+ YO man. Have been a Genesis fan for 45+ years now.
Have seen Genesis play this song live many times.
You do them credit! Bravo!
Please tour the US. I will vote with my dollars to see you play live.
Fantastic! It's as close to the original it can be. Incredible work.
Excellent,best tribute band,all very good musicians.👏👏👏👏
Cloned to perfection!
SInging is just like the original !!!
I got goosebumps like the first time I heard the original song 🤯 incredible work guys 💯💪🏽 6:16
Per ascoltare musica di qualità le scelte sono limitate, voi siete il 🔝🔝
I just heard about this band - they are excellent - a faithful rendition of a classic Genesis song. Bravo!
I just saw them in Zoetermeer, Netherlands, superb performance great musicians with perfect feeling and charisma. They played the magical Genesis numbers with finesse and great musicianship.
beautiful rendering of the song. even the voice of the singer approximates Peter Gabriel's voice --- very well done.
Assolutamente fantastici appena possibile vengo a sentirvi live
I know this song inside and out... this is incredible. I can't imagine just HOW much rehearsal time this took.
I was thinking exactly the same thing!
a loooooooootttttttttttt
True dat Bro
The dedication and commitment to practice and play this song with such passion and perfection is truly remarkable!!!
Is everyone watching this aware that they have 9 studio albums of their own (One under the name The Night Watch) and ALL are 5 stars albums!!! the albums are the way Genesis should have sounded if they were still around!
When I was a teenager my Mom used to say that classical music had endured for centuries and the crap I was listening to would be forgotten in short order. To be honest I assumed she was correct, even though I loved Genesis, Yes, ELP, etc. Well now it’s a half century later and apparently Mom was wrong. In fact, now I realize that symphony orchestras are basically tribute bands. Great music is timeless, even if it’s played on electric guitars!
Just come back from your Life concert in Valencia. Absolutely fabulous. Thank you for make my evening special.
Bravissimi, manteniamo vivi i Genesis
Excellent rendition, the sound quality and depth of bass was great too. I will have to check out the rest of your stuff on UA-cam.
That bass was superb
Grazie e ancora grazie per le emozioni che sapete regalare Grandi!!!
Am a Genesis fan since my High School in late 1970's. You guys are right on! Sound, notes, rhythm, energy, effects, ...
Genial, excelente version!!! Saludos desde Argentina
Perfect!now dancing with moonlit knight!
Oh thank you so much I'm so glad I found this
This scary. It's more like Genesis than Genesis were. Incredibly good.
Only Italians 'get' early 70s genesis! So much more than just the notes .. grazie!
Musical Box is my 2nd favorite song of all time ( next to 2112) this version is amazing... thanks Guys for not ruining the song.
Saw Genesis play this on 24th February 1973 in Manchester on the Foxtrot tour, The Watch play this at the Robin 2 in April 2012, and Steve Hackett and band on 7th August 2014 at Cropredy. Always a classic, and this is an excellent rendition
This is so close the original album cut, down to the drum strokes and amp settings. Really, I have listened to the original so many times, and as a drummer learned to play the song in my own little cover band when I was a teenager, so this comes from an experienced musician and sound engineer (I stop years ago, but still...) and you have done a fantastic job covering this epic song. Cover may not be the right word, it is a detailed recreation of the album track, and emotional arc of the song. Bravo!
À GREAT PROG BAND(THE WATCH)PLAYING ANOTHER GREAT PROG BAND(GENESIS)...
Seen these twice at the musician in Leicester, absolutely amazing sound, very true to the original genesis...
I didn't know Buggggggggggggggger!
Unreal and that is the point PLEASE PLAY IN THE UK you would fill venues!!!!!!!
The lead singer sounds so much like Peter Gabriel ! Amazing!
Wauh to The Watch. It’s outstanding and so close to the original. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I saw these at the flowerpot Derby November 2021 incredible superb sublime subtle magical plus other credits etc😎
Absolutely FABULOUS! I am stunned - I am a keyboard player, who loves Genesis, and I completely appreciate the work and the execution of all of this - the dynamics, the spot-on musicianship, and the uncanny vocals. WOW. Thank you so much for sharing this, and for setting out to create this video, and the other one I just watched, of The Fountains of Salmacis.
I miss seeing you guys live so much! But until that is possible again, I am happy to have these videos. Stay safe, greetings from Germany.
Ho avuto il piacere di vedervi dal vivo, siete incredibilmente bravi e fedeli all'originale. Davvero impressionante, grandi musicisti. Spero di rivedervi
Brilliant performance from "The Watch",... Pure artistry. Next time they're playing in the UK, I'm going ..... Summers-end?
My favourite Genesis tune,. Love it fellas x
Well. I found this gem just by a chance. When the singer opened his mouth, I thought - this guy sings really like Peter Gabriel. Much better than Nad Sylvan. Simone has the same length of syllables as PG in "Now! Now! Now!", not a bit shortened as Nad. Really exceptional interpretation. Nad is great singer, but I like much more singing by Simone. The guitarist is a genius - sound, technique, everything like on a disc. The interplay between him and the keyboardist is amazing. What a discovery for me!. Thanks, guys, you are all really like Genesis 50 years ago.
Just love you guys. See you once this madness ends!
Superb, a true tribute of the highest order. You guys rock big time
da brividi, fantastici, superbi!!!
i close my eyes and i here genesis with the PG time
There are some amazing tribute bands out there. I am thinking Brit Floyd, Rumour of Fleetwork Mac etc. They are fantastic. But these guys? I think they are probably the best of the lot. The vocals are RIDICULOUSLY good.
Es el primer video suyo que veo y vaya sorpresa !!!! Es el mejor cover de Genesis que he escuchado en más de 40 años. Son grandes Voces, grandes músicos. Le imprimieron Gracia, personalidad y la Lírica Italiana que es poderosa. Es la madre de todas las líricas Engrandecieron el sonido de Genesis.
Hello! I'm Charly, from Mendoza, Argentina. You're amazing. Your sound is awesome. Please keep playing genesis' musis with those great instruments.
No running about all over the place; just sheer delight and enjoyment in the faces of these boys! We enjoy what you do because YOU do! I close my eyes and its Genesis, with Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel, i open my eyes and i see the concentration and sheer pleasure you guys put in every time! Its a joy to see and hear!
