- Well, I couldn't fit "Afterglow" in the title but we are listening to that track as well. Thanks Genesis, for these dope ass long titles lol. This is a pick from our Patron and Discord Mod Olias. Thank you for all that you do, my friend. This was fantastic. Tony and Phil absolutely shined here. So did Steve and Mike but the first two are just on another level. This is them returning to their old sound just without Peter. It was still amazing, though. These guys don't miss. I guess it's time to listen to this album now.

Blood on the Rooftops amazing
One of their finest songs. Just so moving and musically totally perfect ❤
I don’t know which of Genesis’ albums is my favourite - each has a special place in my heart! But I do know that Steve Hackett’s playing on Blood on the Rooftops is something that really touches.
Genesis never realized that the sound of Steve Hackett gave their music a soul, a special touch of emotion!
Oh yes they did.
@@user-tr9de6gm8k but they didn't care !
*I* didn't, fool that I am, and only really started paying close attention with Steve's gigs of classic Genesis, and then I had to go listen to the whole catalogue all over again focusing on the guitar
Steve Hackett was indeed the soul of Genesis..I often wonder what would have happened if he stayed and was allowed to be a full songwriter member. Maybe they would have gone in a less commercial direction but alas it was not meant to be. Luckily we still have him to carry on the Steve Hackett era of Genesis catalog along with his creative solo catalog…
What a great piece to listen to on a monday morning. Went to see Steve Hackett last Saturday. Amazing show seeing Supper’s Ready performed with precision. The guy is 74 and still shows no sign of slowing down. Have a great day!!
Perfect way to get the week going. I hope you had a great time! I have a feeling you did 😊
It's like Steve Hackett has found the fountain of youth. His new albums still have tons of energy and creativity. He even looks decades younger than his former Genesis bandmates!
Yup. Hackett is touring the US right now for a bit longer.
@@L33ReactsRegarding the album cover, I remember walking about 5 miles to the mall on a cold grey winter day just to buy this brand new Genesis album about a week after its release on sale for $3.98 plus tax. I get home with the album and put it on, and the opening of Eleventh Eral Of Mar sounded like the grey sky and coldness of my 10 mile journey, just like the album cover. I felt it was a sign from God. You really should see the back cover artwork for Wind And Wuthering. You'll love it better than the front cover.
Yes the section of this song played live on "in the cage medley" is absolutely awesome! Phil's drumming - wow!
From the Three Sides Live album... In The Cage Medley is really awesome!!
I saw this concert in New Orleans in 1977, and till this day it is my favorite album they have recorded
In the cage medley live 1984. You absolutely have to watch that
1000% this
London 1980 felt more kinetic/edgy,( BBC concert, available on UA-cam), but I was at those Birmingham concerts in 84,( where did my life go lol), and they did play really tight and the light show was insane,( cameras of that period couldn’t pick up the visuals apparently).
Great reaction! Wind & Wuthering is my favorite Genesis album. And these 3 tracks are a great close to it. However, if you want an even more "English" feeling track, then you have to go with Blood on the Rooftops. Its my favorite track on my favorite Genesis album. Steve Hackett shines on it.
Saw this tour. 15,000 teary eyed people mesmerized.
Such a great album. Blood on the Rooftops and One for the Vine are exceptional. So beautiful. I think this was considered Tony’s finest album.
One of my all time Genesis songs, just great dynamics, incredible playing, thank you!
The time signatures with "In That Quiet Earth" are just insane!
I'm french, I'm 49, and I discovered Genesis in 1989 cos' my elder sister had this album...
In 1992 I had bought all the albums... :) For their music that I really liked a lot (as for Pink Floyd)... "Unquiet...." is such a great sound to listen...
This Fabulous Album the last with Steve Hackett! … departing to a Fantastic Solo Career!!
My favorite piece of Genesis music. I consider all 3 songs as one song. There is not a good song on that album. They're all great songs or better. Blood On The Rooftops is a mini masterpiece. I saw Hackett perform all four in a row around 10 years ago. Amazing.
The album cover is intended to be evocative of the landscape that is referenced in this song.
“Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth” being the final sentence of the historical masterpiece “Wuthering Heights” by Emily Brönte. I studied it for GSCE back in the day. It’s a powerful epic piece of literature set in the Yorkshire Moors and this picture is evocative of that environment.
Read the novel (while listening to this masterful album!). You won’t regret it.
Very cool.. A few pieces so few know of but everyone should have a chance to enjoy. This will be awesome. Wind & Wuthering is so underrated.
Yeah, everyone should listen to this. Absolutely. So powerful 😊
One for the vine is probably Tony Banks’ greatest masterpiece, can’t wait for the reaction.
Also, you should give a listen to the Afterglow version from the Three Sides Live album, Phil really brings it on vocally.
Give Mad Man Moon another listen.
Saw Steve Hackett last Tuesday and he never stopped growing. Tasteful with snippets of brutal virtuosity. Great band too. Did 2 sets and Foxtrot complete.
Such an amazing album. The tree on front cover not leaves, but birds. When After Glow was at its climatic end i would flip the cover to see the birds fly off.
Ah my stoner days.
Banks said Wind And Wuthering was Foxtrot, three years later. One of his favorites. Tony has one wholly (unintended pun) written song here, which is what Steve points to as a hypocritical manifestation of how the band posed as democratic. One For The Vine was brought in finished.
Got this album as a Christmas present just after it was issued in the mid 70s and still love it; glad to see that some young people can still appreciate it.
Yeah ! Here we go on this fantastique album ! And now One for the vine please 😊
Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth. Are the last words in the book Wuthering Heights which was the inspiration for this album.
The last tree to be cut down... oh, boy, if you'd had the 12" vinyl back in the day you'd see what it is about that tree. And it's still kind of sad. There is a VERY British sadness and nostalgia with the whole album, deriving directly from the rather tragic love story of the novel Wuthering Heights, but in that there's a small thread of hope in its last line: “I listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass; and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers, for the sleepers in that quiet earth.”
Been a fan since 1975. I was today years old when I learned about this.😯 Really cool info. Had no idea the titles were from the last line of WH.
@@DocRock71 Clue was in the title 😀
A beautiful trio of songs 😍 Glad you've arrived at this album, and I'd definitely recommend continuing! My favorites off it are "One for the Vine" and "Blood on the Rooftops."
The first four post-Gabriel Genesis albums can be seen as representing the four seasons.
ATOTT: summer
W&W: autumn
ATTWT: winter
Duke: spring
I definitely got an autumn feel for this one. Feels like decay. The ever approaching sleep. That album cover Is masterful in showcasing the idea of the album.
@@L33Reacts you should look at the other side of the album cover for the complete picture. Quite the magical artistic illusion.
Afterglow became a staple of Genesis live shows! The whole wind and withering album is incredible and somewhat overlooked. Give it a listen!!!
Great reaction, dude. I look forward to your reactions to "Eleventh Earl of Mar", "Blood on the Rooftops", and "One for the Vine".
Thank you, my friend. I look forward to tackling this album hopefully 🙏
My favorite Genesis album 🍁
This is the album to listen to by the fire after an autumn walk. Perhaps the most romantic that this group has given us.
Romantic??? rather melancholic, a winter album. You have to be in the mood to get involved; otherwise you will fall asleep or become depressed. The last album that radiated magic, then Tony Bank began to dominate with his key music tapestry. An equal musical opponent was missing. It's a shame, but Steve Hackett can still be admired live solo. Have fun with all kind of good music.
Harking back to an era, with no damed computers, no fcuking shit devices and gazillions of meaninglessness bits of useless information competing for our attention, and where you could get lost in the romance and ethereal bliss of genius musicians..
This and XTC the same day? Thanks, Lee! And yeah, you need to hear this album - many smiles await your face on the rest of the tracks. Enjoy!
I never wanted this to end either...
I love at the end you can hear the crackle of stylus on vinyl !
The suite of these three songs together to close the album is some of their best work. Afterglow is such a beautiful ballad with meaningful lyrics and a gorgeous melody and crescendo outro. L33 man you have to hear Afterlgow live is just sounds so much better. The song was always used to close a set of their old compositions the 2007 live version form Rome with In The Cage/Cinema Show/Dukes Travels/Afterglow is imperious. Phil does a brilliant job going from singing to back on drums for the incredible ending. Afterglow of course is the last song Steve Hackett would record with the band as this was his last album with them. In fairness to Steve he always does this suite in his live shows and always pays the utmost respect to his time with the band and involvement with this music. L33 man you gotta do the live versions of Afterglow. These tracks beautifully bleed into each other, and just work so well. Afterglow was also my favourite track, and again just has to be heard live as it just takes on a new life, with Phil closing the song by going back on the drums after the amazing crescendo singing, and closing out the song with him and Chester playing out the beautiful melodic ending with awesome power. Look forward to more reactions.
I LOVE this whole album. Perfect music for Eclipse Day!!!! ☀🌛🌜🌚🌎
This is a top 3 Genesis moments for me.
You reached "Wind And Wuthering" at last! And what an awesome album it is. You´re going to enjoy it sooooo much!
Good call listening to all 3 in a row, as it was meant to be heard. Such an amazing album. For me, this is the band's best era, from ATOTT thru Duke, and this album is a continuation of ATOTT, and could easily have been the 2nd album, if Trick had been a double album.
You really should go see the Live version. Out of this world.
The live version that should be seen is Hacketts version because Genesis never played Unquiet Slumbers For The Sleepers live. Hackett plays all 3 tracks live, and he also played Blood On The Rooftops live which Genesis never played live as well.
Wow, another treat. I consider this/these to be their best instrumental of all time. All four members shine so brightly. Totally the best non-PG album for me ❤
I agree, the best Genesis instrumental. This album is totally underrated.
I think we stole the words out of each other's mouth! Every member shined here so damn brightly. This was utterly fantastic at points. That transition smacked me right in the face
@@L33Reacts Glad you enjoyed it ❤️ The rest of the album is as good. For me, there is that strange Genesis “magic” throughout it. Some goes back to “Trespass” feelings for me ❤❤
I didn’t know it would run into Afterglow. That was immensely satisfying and an emotional release. Boy oh boy.
@@L33Reacts"Unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth" is the last line in the novel Wuthering Heights.
@@L33ReactsHad to watch again. It’s that good. Hoping for more from this album. Blood on the Rooftops ❤
Fyi. Hackett has a similar feeling song on his Spectral Mornings album called, Lost In Cordoba. Gives you the warm fuzzies like In That Quiet Earth.
In the Cade Medley Live 1984 nice
The last album with the Genius Steve, insane instrumental on the first 2 tracks then Phil singing at his best with Afterglow, then coming onto “And then there were Three” (try to listen to this album with just the 3 some mate, you will enjoy it)with just Phil, Mike & Tony transitioning from prog rock after And then there were 3, gradually into popy stuff in the 80s ect.
Sounded like that was taken from an actual record. Little pops now and then. That would be the sound at the end. the tone arm lifting up.
One For The Vine from W&W is the perfect Prog song!!!!!!
Such a shame Steve left after this album a class act
Que c'est beau!
Great stuff
Love how solid Phil's drumming is on this.....reinforcing EVERYTHING. The drums become a counter-melody. Then, of course, comes in to sing a killer ending that IS desolate.
Banks and Hackett ❤
Hackett left after Seconds Out, the live album recorded after Wind and Wuthering 😁
well thats a live album. i meant studio albums lol
Great reaction Lee and so astute of you to feel the great atmosphere of this album.
One foot in the earth and looking toward the heavens. That’s Genesis.
Have yourself a merry little Christmas ...
You are so knowledgeable about the music you’ve absorbed. How many newbies. To Genesis can reference Brand X Phil. Bloody awesome
just before trick of the tail
There is an extraordinary nature video edited & design for these songs on UA-cam. You should see it or have used that one!
Wind and Wuthering is their best album of the Phil era..maybe their best album period.
I can't wait to listen to it. This was such a moving piece of music. All 3 together were sublime. I wanted to hit play on the rest of the album the second "Afterglow" ended 😒
@@L33Reacts Yup, start from track 1 and let it run. In That Quiet Earth is my favorite cut. I'm also partial to 11th Earl of Mar and One for the Vine. The whole album is great.
I love And then there were three just as much. I never understood why many aren’t fond of it.
How end an album with greatness.
Fantastic Genesis reactions. Thanks man.
Last tree?......or a mighty oak standing strong through the storm? Great album.
Funny you guessed that they were reprising motifs from earlier in the album, because exactly what they did lol. Once you hear the opening of "Eleventh Earl of Mar," you'll know 👀
That choir you hear in the background of Afterglow, I think that was used with a Necam computer, where Phil's 'ahh's were sampled. They did that briefly for Eleventh Earl Of Mar.
Steve used that same technique for his 2nd and 3rd solo albums, Please Don't Touch and Spectral Mornings. It's most prominent on The Voice Of Necam, where it shines together with his soft nylon guitar playing.
Thanks Lee for going back to some classic Genesis. Another of my favourite reactors is well into covering all the post Duke stuff. I'm grateful for it all, but the later stuff alienated me. I liked Phil, but they seemed to become his backing group.
Yeahhh ok Tony TONY EVERY THING HE TOUCHES TURNS TO GOLD BANKS 😂 ❤ awe yes Brand x morrocan roll 😂 GENESIS GENESIS ❤
Brand-X Phil indeed!
The massive vocals Phil has in Afterglow is a product of the automated console 10cc first exploited in I'm Not In Love. Phil had to track his harmonies multiple times and mixed using the SSL style automation. Hackett used the same technique and called it NECAM, in the solo album he first released after this record.
Yep! Brand X Phil at is best, Steve being Steve...all good and brilliant. It's 1970s Genesis after all!
This follows on the heels of "Los Endos", another instrumental that summarized highlights from the album. Those two and "Duke's Travels/Duke's End" can't be touched for this kind of thing. This is "play at my deathbed" quality music. 🕯
If you think the studio version of Afterglow hits hard, you should listen to the Seconds Out live album version. It just has more... everything!
I would argue this was their last truly "Prog" album. I wasn't excited by any of their future albums and, even though I bought them for so long, I finally gave up on them.
This album got me into Genesis, after my cousin had tried to interest me into his favorite band with no success. After that I really got into their early prog rock stuff (with Peter Gabriel). 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway' is still my favorite album of theirs, one of my all-time favorite albums as a matter of fact. 'Wind & Wuthering' is worthy of a reaction, starting from the beginning.
Afterglow live versions a must see
This was the series of songs Genesis played to close their very last concert in the U.S., Boston Garden 2nd night, Last Domino concert.
I was there the first night.
That "somebody walking" was the familiar sound (to us older folks) of the album playing out. The video was made from a vinyl rip. This is one of my favorite albums. Check out "Blood on the Rooftops.": ua-cam.com/video/a9SuH_6uWQU/v-deo.html Peace.
Awe phil collins ❤ 😂
My favorite part of the album.....the rest is ok...it does sound more like old genesis because of the synth, keyboards Brand X Phil, lol.
I hope AI could be used to replace the vocals on the two albums following Peter's' departure. Not that Phil didn't do a good job, but you have to wonder how a deeper voice and Peter's creativity might have influenced this music. But definitely these two records and Peter's first records were good enough to soften the blow of his departure for Genesis fans.
XTC and GENESIS!! What a great day! THIS is how to end an album. Tremendous stuff. Steve Hackett and Tony Banks worked so well together in blending their respective instruments. Hackett's subtle work throughout these tunes really makes it for me. To see what GENESIS missed out on (if they used more Steve material), check out the song "PLEASE DON'T TOUCH" which was pitched to the band, and they (stupidly, in my mind, rejected it). That would have been AMAAAAAAAZING on "Wind & Wuthering"... Or check out his previous solo album "Voyage Of The Acolyte" which is a masterpiece. ("Shadow of the Hierophant" in particular is amazing... with Steve Hackett tapping away on his guitar years before Eddie Van Halen became famous for it.) He was a much needed force for an edginess that Genesis lacked after his departure. On the album cover, you should check out the back cover, too... as it adds to the experience of seeing the front cover. The back cover basically shows the same scene, but you realize that instead of leaves, those are birds filling the trees... so you see them flying away, leaving bare branches. It's perfect for this album. Cheers!
You should give Hackets version that he still plays live with The Genesis Revisited tour live. It actually surpasses this version.
I love W&W more than ATOTT. I think W&W is not that liked compared to the other, but I really like the atmosphere they managed in this album, and I heard a live performance that was recorded from a radio program or smt, and trust me when I say it was amazing, way way better than seconds out. Forgot to say I value Steve a lot, that in that recording his guitar was audible (compared to seconds out). I actually separe Genesis between Steve’s/and not Steve’s more than Gabriel/Phil, and I’m all in for the Steve’s one. It’s just an opinion but I feel that Steve is always overlooked, but his sound is very beautiful and he contributed a lot to the band.
Selling England, Trick of the Tale, Wind and Wuthering. Fantastic trio of albums. Foxtrot had its moments - not least Supper's Ready of course, but after that, without Hackett's influence, they lost some soul IMO.
Takes a while to kick in, but once it does you better hold on.
Hackett was squeezed out to his benefit and our enjoyment. Genesis went downhill almost without exception without him, to my ear.
Here's a recommendation: Driving to Amsterdam by Khan from Space Shanty, their only album before Steve Hillage joined Gong.
I saw Chester Thompson's first gig with Genesis just after this album came out. You can see why a jazzer like him would want the gig. This hints at a direction not taken by Genesis after Steve left. The title is from the last sentence of the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. The dvd of Steve's tour playing the whole album was called Wuthering Nights.
Wuthering nights.... I dig it. Chester fit this band like a glove.
I definitely see why he would to play this 😂😊
Afterglow is deff a song written for the Phil Collin's style. Listen to it a few times and it really grow's on you.. These 3 were the outro songs and not entirely like the rest of it which is a series of songs which you could say are very niche to this album.. Bit of History , bit of comedy , etc..
I've never really paid much attention to this album. I think I've always been strictly Gabriel in my Genesis music. Mainly listening to Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot and Selling England By the Pound over the years. I appreciate A Lamb Lies Down on Broadway occasionally but not often. Although I thought A Trick of the Tail was a pretty good album too, I've always thought Collins sounded pretty much like Gabriel on that album though. I never really got into their 80s stuff, although they did the odd good track during that period, I guess.
Afterglow is even better (in my opinion) on "Three Sides Live" - English version - the one with 4 live sides on it (I know).
So Tony got his wish and became the stand out performer on this record. However, for me, the first Genesis records I've heard, Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme were superior and the standouts were Peter and Steve.
This suite used to destroy during their live shows.
Their next album "And then there were three" was more of a critical letdown. You could really feel the loss of Hacket. But, this album does contain their first big commercial hit; "Follow You Follow Me". A great song worth checking out. 😊
The last great Genesis album . Fame and sales to come but diminishing artistic returns.IMHO.
You say it would have been even better with Peter. Fact is Peter didn’t want to carry on like this. When you listen to his solo albums, even the first one, there’s no Genesis sound. It’s not really prog either, it’s Peter.
And the same goes for Genesis who changed their sound from album to album. Many say it’s Phil who led them to pop, but that’s not true. Both Mike and Tony were just as interested in a change.
Record needle leaving the album
That last part with the vocals is called Afterglow, isn’t it?
Phil Collins wasn't a sing and play at same time kinda guy. Chester Thompson was their live drummer after Phil Collins took on lead vocals. Bill Bruford had the job for a minute too.
I don’t think anyone could drum and sing to something as complicated as Genesis material it’s hardly The Carpenters is it
You want there's non finish to it......
When I was 14 and got this CD my friends were listening to Badmotorfinger. “Wot Gorilla?” What is that?
Edit: John Wetton actually sings Afterglow better. It is seriously emotional and haunting, even more than the original. Probably the only cover of Genesis better than original.
Imo Wind and Wuthering has much higher highs than Trick. Both album have a bit too much unbrearably twee material, but others will disagree with that.
Maybe so, but I won't disagree with you. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of "Your Own Special Way" which is a bit too long and saccharine imo not a popular opinion, i know but It's all down to personal taste in the end.
@@gerardodoherty9178 For me "Your Own Special Way" is their first misstep, chronologically, into "pop" territory. It's just boring compared to all their other mainstream prog.
