Gabriel is just amazing, different voices, characters, it's theater yet it's genuine and familiar. It was a time when musicians were absolutely on top of their game.
I have to say, it is the only track on the album which presented something new. All of the others were places they had been before.
Gabriel es un genio!!!
Brilliant
50 years later and still unfuckingbelievable...
This song is the definition of a grower, in my view.
Not to mention Phil’s insane drumming on this one.
Hardly any rock music reduces me to tears. Genesis (THIS line-up), achieved such quality and depth of expression it gets me every time.
Perfection.
They just kept getting better and better. They couldn't go no further after The Lamb.
This song has a little bit of everything that makes the band’s early material so unique and compelling: Peter’s detailed lyrics and eccentric performance, Tony’s layered keyboards, Phil’s complex yet controlled drumming, Steve’s understated guitar licks occasionally making their way upfront in the mix, and Mike’s deep, melodic bass playing. Great and fun track from an excellent record
This is probably the song most benefited from the Nick Davis "djent" mixes, all the stuff that happens musically makes more sense, while also adding more guitar licks and new parts done by Peter, it feels more complete.
I don't know what mix i've been listening this whole time but its definitely not this one.

"phil's comnplex yet controlled drumming.." indeed!
One of my favorite songs from Genesis. Its drumming is a challenge, but a real fun once you get it.
this music/song is without discussions one of the best they ever writen,all are perfect,but Phill Collins on drums is out of this world
The end of this song is so classic of the Genesis style! 🥁❤️🎧
Peak Gabriel lyricism with backing excellence from the band, especially Phil's driving drums. Love it!
Shut up for better
Dont be dumm
Completely Mad , Completely Brilliant.
How this song works I have know idea and how Phil Collins keeps that grooving is incredible.
Not mad actually - the song is based on a real life story of warring East London gangs. So not just prog, but social commentary, which they also did on Foxtrot's Get 'Em out by Friday. Great music and great lyrics are timeless and real.
"There's no one left alive, it must be a draw"... "So the black cap barons toss a coin to settle the score." One of my all-time favorite lyrics.
my favorite genesis song to sing, leaves you breathless when your finished, no wonder phil never took to it ha ha.
My favorite,,, Thank you to The Musical Box (band) for keeping it true and alive for many years.
As a musician, even before i set foot on stage and play (in the beginning, really badly), i was terrified at the thought of going on stage. Peter Gabriel helped change that. What a unique performer, songwriter and vocalist. I thought if he has the nerve to dance on stage dressed as flower, what's my excuse? The worst i could do is bore the audience.
Fantastic insight. Thanks for this comment, really resonates with me. I think about it from time to time
Some of Phil's best work on this track. Soooo tight and creative.
The section with the Reverend is by far my favourite section of this song, alongside the ending
He employed as a Karma-ma- mechanic...Hysterical.
The Reverend is classic. A top five Gabriel moment.
I agree entirely. I love the way PG even sings the part with a caricatured vicar's voice! It reminds me of Dick Emery doing his vicar character on his telly show many, many years ago. Brilliant.
THIS NEW MIX IS FANTASTIC!!!!! Bass is beefier, drums are clearer, vocals are more modern, wider stereo, and the synths are crisp
One of the best song ever written in music hisory.
❗ p e r i o d ❗
Yes!
I saw this live on the last Hackett tour. Nad did an amazing job with all those high-speed lyrics. I never thought I'd see this song live. Wow.
One of the best from Peter, excellent vocals on his highest!
I'm obsessed with this song and early Genesis generally! Somehow, they snuck by me. As a teenager in the 1990s, I listened to early Queen, Rainbow, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, but for some reason I missed early Genesis. I was always aware of them, but associated them with later Genesis (also good), but not quite my thing. Only really just discovered them now in my early 40s! And I'm just dumbfounded how I didn't listen to them before. They are now one of my favourite bands. Wonderful to discover something new (albeit old) in my 'old' age!
You should invest in all of Steely Dan's classic albums. You will be repaid time and again
One of my favorite songs ever. Just perfection, very enjoyable and eclectic.
I was fortunate to see them Live when Gabriel was still with them with all the outfits..My Favorite Album, by Genesis.
I love this so many chord changes
This is the most British song in existence
Just narrowly beats out Let’s Eat (Real Soon) by Hatfield and The North
Lazing on a Sunday afternoon by Queen
Waterloo Sunset?
English, actually.
More like (lazing on a) Sunny Afternoon by The Kinks. But yeah, Selling England By The Pound blows all of that out of the pond.
It was always the story of this song that hooked me since early childhood, this and "get em out by friday"
the craziest astonishing creature from Genesis planet
Great Song! Absolutely beautiful Album! I love you Genesis! 👏🎼🎶🎸🎹🥁🎙️❤️✨🇧🇷🇬🇧
YES!
True.
48 years later I finally find out why a mate of mine used to call me Liquid Len! Back in the day I never listened to it with headphones good enough to hear every word.
Liquid Len is the alias of Jonathan Smeeton, a British lighting and production designer who was involved with Hawkwind in the 1970's. He also worked with Peter Gabriel, who name-checked him in the song.
The Battle of Epping Forest: many observers (and even the band members themselves) have noted that the song has way too many words...maybe that’s why I like it soooo much!! It’s an English lesson, prog style.
That's one of many reasons why I love this band so much. It's all there. The good and not so good. They rarely compromised their art and they did all this in their 20's. A very misunderstood band and very honest.
It's actually a tale.
quaid667 and I had the Honor to watch them play this Live in Concert in BuffaloNY USA 🇺🇸
@@horseyhorselips3501 nice one. I envy you 🤣
That's what I love about the old country. American english is so simplified, it seems to lack words required for poetry of this magnitude.
I must have played this track several hundred times over the years. I remember buying it on release and sitting bored to f*ck in 3rd year maths class, trying to recite the complete lyrics, again and again. An amazing album, though I think that Foxtrot remains their magnum opus.
Got to see Musical Box perform this in 2018 and was totally blown away. The most energetic performance of the show & the only number I’d not seen PG era clips of. The total surprise of the night! Supper’s Ready was biblical etc, but this was the song we talked about on the drive home.
Simplemente una genialidad no es solo una cancion, es una aventura que cada minuto juega con las asignaturas de tiempo.
una obra maestra que demuestra el gran potencial del subgenero progresivo.
One of my favourites songs from my favourite album released by one of my favourite bands ever!
Cette chanson contient un peu de tout ce qui rend les premiers morceaux du groupe si uniques et convaincants : les paroles malicieuses et la performance excentrique de Peter, les claviers superposés de Tony, la batterie complexe et subtile de Phil, les léchages de guitare discrets de Steve faisant parfois leur chemin dans le mix, et - cerise sur le gâteau - le jeu de basse mélodique et incisif de Mike. En huit mots comme en cent > Architecture sonore géniale et amusante pour un disque majeur !
👋 j-p:je ne peux m’empêcher...Architecte Philosophe Sociologue...la Totale...Quelle intelligence,quelle Pertinence dans tes commentaires...j-p,tu viens de quelle Planète ? ? Ouah...😂😂🤔🤔😉😉👋👋
La plus "Genesis" de Genesis . J'adore et elle me donne une "pèche" incroyable .Ca fait 48 ans que je l'écoute je l 'aime toujours autant .Merci Genesis
Can't wait, i just love this song! Now i will tell you about my life...
I went to Ikea the other day
Hoping to find some furniture
Followed a sign that said beautyful chest
Led to a lady said show me your best
She was taken by surprise
when i quickly closed my eyes
so she rang the bell and quicker as hell
i took to my heels and i fled so fast
that only when i was miles away i did catch my breath
slowed to a walk and then to rest
the front page news and headline stories
were talking about a Giant Hoghweed
The End
Uma das melhores musicas dos Genesis . Fantástica.
Brilliant and original Battle between lyrics and music! Thank you Genesis!!
I grew up in the 80's and only had the naff eighties Genesis to go by. I'm still not sold on all their "prog adventures", but this album, 'A Trick Of The Tail', 'Foxtrot' have some great songs on them with songwriting that puts today's "Artist's" efforts in the shade.
¡Que gran tema! fantástico ese teclado de Tony Banks.
🎶 The Battle Of Epping Forest 🎶 Thanks Genesis For
This Excellent, Awesome & Fantastic Masterpiece Of Music, You're The Best!!!!!
GENESIS FOREVER!!!!! 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼
C'était en Italie du nord, nous étions en vacances itinérantes, ma femme, mes 2 enfants et moi. Nous roulions sur une route de montagne le long d'une immense forêt; il y avait des centaines de voitures garées le long de cette route forestière, en légère montée. Des milliers d'italiens pique-niquaient autour de barbecues dans la forêt. La fumée des barbecues montaient le long des arbres. Et soudainement j'ai pensé pensé à cette chanson de Genesis et me suis mis à la chanter. Mes enfants s'en souviennent et ce souvenir est ancré dans nos mémoires. Chaque fois que j'entends cette superbe chanson, j'y pense.
How many years has it been since I heard this song? Peter is a grate singer, I think once again
The whole band is insanely good and the production is fantastic !!!
Masterpiece
One of finest Genesis songs. Epic prog. 🤪🤯👾🔥
You know it's a prog rock epic when youtube ads kick in during the song, not before or after it😅
cuando escuche esta cancion, ese juego de voces, simplemente tuve que arrodillarme ante semejante pieza magistral, disfrutarla cada vez que la escucho, imaginarme las facetas de peter al meterse en cada personaje de esta bellisima letra es una droga psicologica. obra maesra de obras maestras, la mejor banda de la historia, 1969-1975
Saw that show live in STL STL Kiel Auditorium only 2,000 or 3,000 attended best most unusual show I have ever seen
Best song Genesis ever did!
Einer der besten Lieder
This song is absolutely Lamb lies down!
(Taken from a news story concerning two rival gangs fighting
Over East-End Protection rights)
Along the Forest Road, there's hundreds of cars - luxury cars.
Each has got its load of convertible bars, cutlery cars - superscars!
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out,
'cause they disagree on a gangland boundary.
Yes, they disagree on a gangland boundary.
There's Willy Wright and his boys -
One helluva noise, that's Billy's boys!
With fully-fashioned mugs, that's Little John's thugs,
The Barking Slugs - supersmugs!
For today is the day when they sort it out, sort it out,
These Christian soldiers fight to protect the poor.
East end heroes got to score in...
The Battle of Epping Forest,
It's the Battle of Epping Forest,
Right outside your door.
You ain't seen nothing like it.
No, you ain't seen nothing like it,
Not since the Civil War.
Coming over the hill are the boys of Bill,
And Johnny's lads stand very still.
With the thumpire's shout, they all start to clout
- there's no guns in this gentleman's bout.
Georgie moves in on the outside left
With a chain flying round his head;
And Harold Demure, from Art Literature,
Nips up the nearest tree.
(Here come the cavalry!)
Admidst the battle roar,
Accountants keep the score: 10-4.
They've never been alone, after getting a radiophone.
The bluebells are ringing for Sweetmeal Sam, real ham,
Handing out bread and jam just like any picnic.
It's 5-4 on William Wright; he made his pile on Derby night.
When Billy was a kid, walking the streets,
The other kids hid - so they did!
Now, after working hard in security trade, he's got it made.
The shops that need aid are those that haven't paid.
"I do my double-show quick!" said Mick the Prick, fresh out the nick.
"I sell cheap holiday. The minute they leave,
Then a visit I pay - and does it pay!"
And his friend, Liquid Len by name,
Of Wine, Women and Wandsworth fame,
Said "I'm breaking the legs of the bastard that got me framded!"
They called me the Reverend when I entered the Church unstained;
My employers have changed but the name has remained.
It all began when I went on a tour,
Hoping to find some furniture.
I followed a sign - it said "Beautiful Chest".
It led to a lady who showed me her best.
She was taken by surprise when I quickly closed my eyes.
So she rang the bell, and quick as hell
Bob the Nob came out on his job
To see what the trouble was.
"Louise, is the Reverend hard to please?"
"You're telling me!"
"Perhaps, sir, if it's not too late.
We could interest you in our Staffordshire plate?"
"Oh no, not me, I'm a man of repute."
But the Devil caught hold of my soul and a voice called out "Shoot!"
To save my steeple, I visited people;
For this I'd gone when I met Little John.
His name came, I understood,
When the judge said "You're a robbing hood."
He told me of his strange foundation,
Conceived on sight of the Woodstock nation;
He'd had to hide his reputation.
When poor, 'twas salvation from door to door.
But now, with a pin-up guru every week,
It's Love, Peace & Truth Incorporated for all who seek.
He employed me as a karmacanic, with overall charms.
His hands were then fit to receive, receive alms.
That's why we're in
The Battle of Epping Forest,
It's the Battle of Epping Forest,
Right outside your door.
We guard your souls for peanuts,
And we guard your shops and houses
For just a little more.
In with a left hook is the Bethnal Green Butcher,
But he's countered on the right by Mick's chain-gang fight,
And Liquid Len, with his smashed bottle men,
Is lobbing Bob the Nob across the gob.
With his kissar in a mess, Bob seems under stress,
But Jones the Jug hits Len right in the mug;
And Harold Demure, who's still not quite sure,
Fires acorns from out of his sling.
(Here come the cavalry!)
Up, up above the crowd,
Inside their Silver Cloud, done proud,
The bold and brazen brass, seen darkly through the glass.
The butler's got jam on his Rolls; Roy doles out the lot,
With tea from a silver pot just like any picnic.
Along the Forest Road, it's the end of the day
And the Clouds roll away.
Each has got its load - they'll come out for the count
At the break-in of day.
When the limos return for their final review, it's all through'
- all they can see is the morning goo.
"There's no-one left alive - must be draw."
So the Blackcap Barons toss a coin to settle the score.
💘💋😎👍 Instant "Best Comment," sly one.
Super incredible super amazing so talented legends thanku love an god bless x
Best drumming ever
Aunque huyas de la nostalgia siempre acecha en algun rincon de tu cabeza, no obstante es una delicia dejarse arrastrar por ella cuando uno reescucha temas de este calado y se da cuenta de que resistirse es una batalla perdida.
El mejor y más acertado comentario!
Una parte de lo que pasa cuando se escucha el selling... no hay ni habrá un arte como este jamás.
@@adrianpinedah
Con la melomania por bandera y el paso del tiempo se descubren nuevas musicas, nuevos sonidos y estilos, pero cuando uno se tropieza con el acceso a musicas que enaltecieron momentos musicales inolvidables por la magia de la red, te reenganchas a sonidos que ya para siempre formaran parte de tu memoria musical y que todavia por obra y gracia de la escucha te trasladan a momentos y vivencias aunque gentes que formaron parte ellas ya no esten.
La escucha se convierte casi en un tributo con quien las compartiste en unos tiempos en que sentarse a escuchar y sentir eran esenciales para seguir en la brecha musical, aunque fueramos pocos los elegidos por no ser musicas aptas para mentes adaptadas a las radioformulas.
Solo hubo una emisora en su momento que emitio, aunque a altas horas de la madrugada lo que por entonces los menos iniciados llamaron ruido, no sin cierta razon, solo les falto añadir, arte, pero eso llego mas tarde.
Hoy todavia con la escucha se me eriza el bello, se me saltan las lagrimas y me traslada a un directo que tuve oportunidad de ver de su guitarrista( Steve Hacket) cuando mi espiritu viajero me llevo por el mundo en una sala pequeña con un sonido impecable.
Podria extenderme en las sensaciones que produjo Genesis en su primera epoca, que fue la que disfrute.
Con la marcha de su cantante y el nuevo rumbo del grupo, mas de cara a las ventas y la comercializacion, dejaron de interesarme.
Grandissima Band, incommensurabile ed eterna, per sempre nell'Olimpo delle migliori Band di tutti i tempi. Ogni volta che ascolto questo LP mi vengono i brividi lungo la schiena e, sinceramente, dei grossi lacrimoni per le emozioni che scatena in me l'ascolto. Grazie di esistere
I believe this is the best song Genesis ever did. Peter was amazing. They all were amazing. Phil!!!
Tony, Steve, Mike. Man you can't get better musicians together in a band anywhere. England rules!
this has always been my favorite, lately the colony of slippermen has been giving it a run for it's money though hehe.
Can't believe this song has never been featured in Peaky Blinders.
Sencillamente maravilloso!! temazo, Tony Banks demostrando una vez mas por que es uno de los mejores tecladistas del progresivo
529 always give my old Genesis albums a spin takes me back to my teens
This song is super underrated. I honestly like it much more than Firth of Fifth. It's so weird and eccentric and very British yet super interesting musically and lyrically.
Questo disco è La Storia del Rock, assieme a Dark Side of the Moon dei Pink Floyd, Thick as a Brick e Aqualung dei Jethro Tull e In the Court of the Crimson King dei King Crimson e pochi altri li puoi ascoltare a 30 /40 /50 /60 anni e ti faranno lo Stesso Piacere, la Stessa Gioia e Felicità di quando “sbarbatello” lo hai ascoltato la 1a Volta! Queste sonorità sono Tue! Sono ormai dentro di Te! Nel tuo ❤ e nel tuo cervello! Non ti potranno mai Deludere, solo darti una Gioia Infinita! Tullio
Never feel alone after getting a radio phone.
How ahead of its time.
Phil is insanely good!
Eternal masterpiece.
So crazy song! 🥁🎸🥁🎧
This music touches my heart and my mind, absolutely amazing ❤
Love this.
What amazing musicians!!
WOW! AMAZINGLY DONE! 💘 LOVE AND BLESSINGS HAZEL CALIFORNIA...
I think your right ..let's keep searching to be sure 😊
Unique song,from a brilliant album💯
This song it's a pleasure to listen to
1st time listener here. I’m in love. This song alone may give me the nudge to buy a turntable!🤘🏻
Smashing and Spot On!
Mi viene da piangere! Che musica stupenda, ma come gli venivano in mente questi passaggi? Non ho mai più sentito nulla del genere!! ❤ Straordinario Straordinario
Just listen to this on headphones! It is soooo fucking amazingly clever in every way possible. Their best composition by a long mile.
AWESOME !!!!!!
Yeh there is all kinds of great music out there, but from Earth this is a top notch piece!
nobody can deny the greatness of this lineup
Impresionante las texturas y el comtrol dinámico de cada intérprete..
Essa música é brilhante.
picnic picnic picnic
Pignick
Brilliant! NOBODY plays like this anymore
my favorite song💯💔💔💔
Maravilhoso álbum !
529 early Genesis albums are the greatest
This is one of my favorites. I've read they thought it was hard to perform live. I've only found one video of them doing it live and it did feel slightly off, like they were plodding through it and the tempos didn't quite sync up.
Obra de arte de grandisimo grupo de rock ,capos para los que gustan de rock elegante ,fino
una gran época
Insuperable 👌
Battle of Epping Forest - can someone explain the change in time signature? Is that what it's called? its rather fabulous. Well drummed too!
🤩 wow
4:43 Perfect use of the hi-hat.
GENIAL
I bet Peter is going to do a surprise appearance at one or more of the Last Domino gigs.
having him and steve make an appearance and do a few of those songs would be awesome.
@@thevoid99 Awesome for sure. and do one from Genesis to Revelations.
Oh no, not him,
he's a man of repuuuuhuuuuuhuuuuute!
Voltei a 1973 em tardes deliciando Peter Gabriel aos 16 anos !
guru every week
