Saw Suppers' Ready in performed in Detroit at the Ford Auditorium probably '73. Somebody seriously overestimated a pyrotechnics charge. Scared the shit out of everybody present :)
Theres another blunder in which tony forgets to switch to the violins tape on the mellotron for hairless heart and he uses choir which sounds very interesting
The keyboard mishap at 2:45 happened on October 15, 1986 at the LA Forum in the US. During that show (or the show on October 16, I don't remember) Tony hits a rather ugly bum note during the Apocalypse keyboard solo in Supper's Ready too.
The way the crowd was so rowdy and aggressive during the Toronto show made me feel bad for Peter and the rest of the band having to deal with all that mess.
The times where Phil’s voice gave out, the band should have played all of their instrumental songs and then ended the show rather than just being done. You could fill a decent sized set with those.
They would had to rehearse a entire second set to achieve that, and bands generally don't do that! They really have enough to do with the main set of songs.
Sin quitar méritos a la voz y la batería de Collins y el bajo de Rutherford, el pasaje final instrumental a cargo de Tony Banks y Steve Hackett es celestial, te hace volar con la mente. El único pero es que dura muy poco, quizás por eso sea tan inmenso y tan hermoso. Gracias Genesis ❤❤❤❤
First bit isn't really a mishap, just Bill Bruford going off piste, as Bill Bruford likes to do - if the others can't stand the heat...! The Firth Of Fifth solo is Steve's tape delay changing speed, not any actual wrong notes played.
From what I understand, here are the dates of the remaining mishaps according to the Genesis Movement: 1:52 - either 11 June 1980 or 13 October 1981 2:45 - 15 October 1986 4:50 - 11 June 1987 5:11 - 17 May 1992 6:19 - 12 October 2007
Genesis are consummate pro's. Never cancelling due to being hung over from the previous nite, or any such thing. BUT, on rare occasions, even thew greats have a mishap, once every blue moon.
The most freaking mishap i've seen it's from Phil's Serious Tour when during "In the Air Tonigh" right after the famous drum intro all the sound system broke down ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0CUrMcHfGdM.htmlsi=omy9bWk1ikRQrqyv
One of my favourites (that isn’t in here) is in what I believe is the first recorded show with Phil as the frontman - he starts singing the lyrics to the final verse of Firth of Fifth during the second verse, which causes some trouble when he gets to “the river of constant change” line lol
I never knew about Phil being sick, and bowing out in the middle of the show back in May 1992. That must have been totally heartbreaking for him, and of course all of the diehard fans who paid to see that show. I hope they were all given full refunds that night?
Refunds were given and when Phil returned to Tampa on his 1997 solo tour, he again apologized for the cancelled Genesis show and played a longer set list.
reallyretro : Phil had to do that once in 1985 @ Pine Knob, near Detroit, when he came to town during the "No Jacket Required" tour. He was scheduled to do 2 shows, 6/27 & 6/28, 1985. I had a ticket to that 6/28 show, but had to sell it due to a change in my working schedule. I heard he sang the opening song, whatever that was, and then apologized to the crowd about his sore throat, and promised a refund. Phil explained that at the after party for the 6/27 show, he had gotten so drunk that he fell asleep on the floor next to the AC unit in his motel room, caught a cold, and that caused his throat condition. I read about the cancellation in the Detroit Free Press the next morning at breakfast. Forever after. this has been referred to as the "No CONCERT Required" tour. How strange it was to miss a show that never happened. The next time Genesis toured, to promote "Invisible Touch", I believe they chose Detroit as their opening date, as an attempt to make amends for that goof up, but who knows?? The one thing they did do to make amends, was play the last 2 sections of "Supper's Ready", to close out the "In The Cage" medley. We accepted that wholeheartedly.
This song was up when the festival was happening, never to be uploaded again. I thought within days they would uploaded, in fact it was the opposite. Coahella was uploading little snipets of certain songs and removing everything else. This is nuts because watching the thing live was free. I don't understand the logic.
Have multiple Genesis shows been cancelled? Perhaps for multiple reasons... I remember I as at the 1989(?) show in Rotterdam Holland, and Phil called it off at the end because of annoying people in the audience
I can totally share in Tony's dilemma . I was an entirely sample based electronic drummer ( Akai S6000) and they turned off the auditorium lights for the opening of the show. But it turned off all my electronics and it took a long time to load all the samples and programs again.
That is great, we all are only humans and mistakes, faults can happen. So that is life, but watching those "impacts" is funny nevertheless. The best is "Keybord fail", a Genesis sound without Tony's keyboard work is a bit "poor".
I wish Last Domino had made it to Los Angeles. We had been loyal fans for many years but we understood. Love them always. Would even “settle” for a reboot with Ray Wilson. He deserves another chance. Life is too short to be picky.
because that's not Genesis and that's not how any prog band has / ever did it regarding big stadium performances. Name one example of a prog band lip syncing during a big stadium performance? And no, short sets and interview stuf don't count
