Observations: It's Gonna Get Better: That's how the Prophet-10 organ sounds without phaser. The lead keyboard sounds octaved, like in the live version. I believe to hear some CP-70, althought the final version has more Rhodes than CP-70 unlike the live version. - We later listen to Phil recording his vocals and Mike Rutherford recording rhythm guitar and the keyboards are already what is heard in the album. Silver Rainbow: Tony Banks recording CP-70. He does a sort of ending, lost because of the fade out. That's how the ending would be if this song was played live. - Later we watch Mike recording guitar, and then bass. The text note claims it took 3 days to Mike to have his bass parts right. - Later we hear the keyboard effects on the intro isolated with Phil recording his vocals with a delay effect. That's All: Tony Banks plays his piano part on the CP-70 while Mike tunes the bass. - Later the bandmates tweaks the effects on the CP-70 from the mixing desk, they're trying to get the perfect CP-70 sound for the song, later they check on the other instruments. - Third Mike flubs while recording bass (he didn't switched from E to C) - Finally they are mixing vocal-less.
I always laugh when Phil realizes the first character of his caption is wrong. That easily took him 3 minutes to do on that camera. Phil's capture of these sessions is a treasure to me.
9:52 Wow! Phil was an underrated vocalist. I say was not because he's dead. He's not, but he's done. His drumming & his singing. It's over, but he was fantastic.
I mean, seeing as he has a separate page just for awards and nominations on wikipedia, I cant agree he’s underrated at all! Amazing drummer and singer.
Hugh Padgham is the real genius behind this album. He also produced the legendary Police LP Synchonicity around the same time. He was only around 28 years old at this stage
I like many things about how he produces, it sounds really clean, but sometimes its "too clean", a few things sound too electric, and when you hear to the same tracks done differently or played without that in mind, they sound great or better, take for example Home by the Sea, wich i think sounds a lot better live than on the studio album, with Genesis i usually preffer both versions, this is the only track i don't feel like listening at all to its studio version because the live is so much better.
@@bobsyerunkle5638 In various interviews they all said that they wanted more dynamic sounding drums and changing producers was part of that quest. They really liked what Hugh brought to their sound. Of course, Genesis wrote the songs.
I’ve come to appreciate this album a lot more. Isn’t it weird that Duke and Abacab sound more similar (with two different producers) than Abacab and “Mama”, both with Padgham at the helm?
If i understood your question well, that would be "The Farm", the famous Genesis studio that is not working anymore, however is the house of Tony's son now.
Tony has done it on his own solo album "The Fugitive", Mike on his own solo album "Acting Very Strange"... Tony has also done vocals for some songs in his other solo albums, and for Genesis, he is featured on "Shepherd", "Carpet Crawlers" (as everyone else, but he is very noticeable in some live mixes) and "The Fountain of Salmacis" (He can be heard clearly in only one section with all instruments removed lol). Besides that, Tony has claimed that there's a full version of Abacab with his vocals, its the song probably but i think that Me & Sarah Jane also has him singing... there's probably more songs, but all of those in his basement.

If you love the album you have no choice but to love these videos. I care how Genesis 1983 was made cause it is a very good album. :)
Their best.
It’s Gonna Get Better,great track,very dark and mysterious,Bank’s tron scape.
A very underrated song always sounds brilliant live, especially the last part. Very melodic with wonderful lyrics too.

That is great! My favorite album from Genesis. Just about my favorite album from anyone.
a real pleasure seeing this, its gonna one of genesis' greatest tracks for me
It’s gonna get better! Hugh is enjoying it.
Love these creative juices!
good blokes doing good work.
Merci.
Thank you for posting . Pure gold.
this album could easily be their best
And Tis why they all love the gigs live
Rest is just work
And monotonous as any job! ;)
But a creative process, so worth the hassle.

Behind the Dodo
@@Schimnesthai Please Don’t Ask Me and Sarah Jane
Love it! Thank you
To bad they never played just a job I do live could have been great I only herd a little in a rehearsal
Where is this footage for "(Second) Home by the Sea"???
idk, its right besides this video on my channel lol
(I can't post URLs for some reason)
Funny that it's gonna get better was the first song recorded
Did they make a similar video for Invisible Touch?
Search zulu, that's most of what you'll get
@@Schimnesthai ah, I see, you mean the track "monkey/zulu".
What studio was this from ?
sus sus susudio
If i understood your question well, that would be "The Farm", the famous Genesis studio that is not working anymore, however is the house of Tony's son now.
@@Schimnesthaiyes . Thnks ! Loveeee it !
They make recording look like a real drag
Shamen
Why dont tony and mike ever sing
Tony has done it on his own solo album "The Fugitive", Mike on his own solo album "Acting Very Strange"... Tony has also done vocals for some songs in his other solo albums, and for Genesis, he is featured on "Shepherd", "Carpet Crawlers" (as everyone else, but he is very noticeable in some live mixes) and "The Fountain of Salmacis" (He can be heard clearly in only one section with all instruments removed lol).

@@Schimnesthai no im saying on the mama album video.
They’re not very good singers in all honesty!!
I think I read somewhere that they seriously considered having Mike and Tony sing lead on a song or two on this album
@@frankybroughtoniv8465 no need for backing vocals
