Genesis - Dance On A Volcano (Official Audio) 

As a lifelong drummer trust me when I say that this song is an absolute BEAST to play on drums! After 40+ years I think I've got it down...well i dunno maybe?✌🎵🥁

6/4, 11/16, 8/4, 11/16, 12/8, 11/16,... I hope I'm counting right, lol. WOW! Gotta love the time signatures! Phil's drumming is amazing, as always!

One of the best records ever! 🎸🎶🌋

My absolute favourite Genesis album and, frankly, my absolute favourite album ever... I have listened to this soooo many times and it just never gets old.

My favorite Genesis album. Head phones are a must. Wish others knew how great this album is.

Wow Mikes BASS Pedals in action 👍👍👍

The intro of this song makes me shiver! ♥️🎶🎧

One of my favourite albums of all time. They were genius.

That weird combo of sounds starting at 2:15 is like the perfect musical interpretation of bubbling lava. What a brilliant song.

This is truly a masterpiece.

Whole album is amazing, still got it on vinyl

Those drums , rumbling bass & Hackett's guitar 🔥

The last 2 minutes is like a parody of Progressive Rock . Love it

masterpiece ...powerfull .... very high level of Genesis

🎶 Dance On A Volcano 🎶 Thanks Genesis For This Excellent, Awesome, Great & Fantastic Masterpiece, You're The Best!!!!! GENESIS FOREVER!!!!! 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼

I still don't think Lamb has been outdone, by anyone, anywhere, ever. But Genesis after Peter Gabriel left did a fantastic job of very Genetic music and imagery. I was surprised and still consider this one of the best albums ever. Lots of great driving music. I woulsn't take a cross country ride without it.

Holy Mother of God

In the early '80s, by pure happenstance, I found myself with a cassette of this album in my hands, even though I didn't know the band. Since then, I've bought them all, they're one of my favorite bands, and this album "A trick of the tail" is, in my opinion, Genesis' greatest achievement. And I still own that cassette ! 🙂

Hear that kick-ass growl of the Moog Taurus pedals on "Dance on a Volcano"!!! What a way to open an album. Absolutely badass.

And then check out " Brand X " if you want to hear the full power of Phil Collins as a drummer !!!

Last two with Gabriel and first two with Collins - the very peak of Genesis albums

Played drums myself for 45+ years and this still leaves me in awe for how good the drumming is....and dam its good!!

This entire album is a masterpiece of creative songwriting, arrangement and musicianship as well as production...it will always stand the test of time as being one of the best of "prog" albums,a great work in every way...unlike the so called music that is out now...thanks

My favorite Genesis album. Don't care what anybody says.

As much of a fan as I am of Peter Gabriel-era Genesis, this is still my favorite Genesis album. From start to finish, A Trick of the Tail is a winner.

Back in '76 a work colleague at Transport House suggested to me that I would like Genesis, so I found an import record store under Wynyard Railway Station and bought this album along with Selling England By The Pound and have NEVER looked back! Brilliant intro to a brilliant album.

One of my favourite Genesis albums. This album marks a promising change for the Genesis timeline

Incredible album. Entangled and Ripples are some of the greatest songs of the modern day.

And people worried that Phil didn't have the chops for the lead vocal...

THE best Genesis Recording! Peace from Detroit MI.

MATERPIECE IS THE WORD for this piece.

This was always so much fun to play when I was pretending to be Tony Banks in a Genesis tribute band back in the day. Sometimes we did the album version "Let the dance begin" and sometimes the Seconds Out version...

This band doesn't get the recognition they deserve. Their as good as anything that came out in the 70s

Btw, this song is hard af... and it hits hard, i know that the guys weren't sure about the ending, and i know, it makes sense why, but at the same time, its nice to see them "showing off" from time to time because that ending is still excellent and needed.

This revolves as my favorite song by them. An absolutely blazing masterpiece. What a great way to instill confidence in the new era of the time.

Holy Mother of God You've got to go faster than that to get to the top Dirtly old mountain All covered in smoke, she can turn you to stone So you better start doing it right Better start doing it right You're halfway up and you're halfway down And the pack on your back is turning you around Throw it away, you won't need it up there, and remember You don't look back whatever you do Better start doing it right On your left and on your right Crosses are green and crosses are blue Your friends didn't make it through Out of the night and out of the dark Into the fire and into the fight Well that's the way the heroes go, ho ho ho Through a crack in Mother Earth Blazing hot, the molten rock Spills out over the land And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away, hey hey hey If you don't want to boil as well B-B-Better start the dance D-D-Do you want to dance with me? You better start doing it right The music's playing, the notes are right Put your left foot first and move into the light The edge of this hill is the edge of the world And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right Better start doing it right Better start doing it right Let the dance begin

Still my fave Genesis album of all time. Wot a classic.

Such a powerful opening track of a great album! Phil's successful debut as a lead singer after Peter left.

Phenomenal creation! It was a pivotal part of forming my musical taste back in the 70's Listening now, the complexity of the lyrics, rhythms and melody is striking . Beautiful!

My favorite Genesis song!

Not a die hard Genesis fan but this album is on top of my best ever albums list.

Bloody fantastic song and album. Genesis best band ever.

Боже ,до чего-же хорошо ,обожаю ДЖЕНЕЗИЗ !!!

Just seen Steve Hackett play dance on a volcano on the seconds out tour the band was phenomenal experience the whole set a must see event

I was in summer camp when I listened to this music , I was 17, I never got tired of it, but it's hard the years pass quickly and the tears flow listening to it in 2022, it was the good times. Nostalgia 😥(France)

Still an amazing track after all these years. ❤️

Best Genesis album ever!

Back in the day , real LSD and Genesis .Awesome trip...Peace...

Finest Genesis record IMO

A peerless album, it's been my favourite since I heard my dad playing the vinyl when I was young. I've listened to it hundreds of times by now.

Killer opener for a killer album,, still in my top 3 albums by Genesis

Absolute banger.

The drumming on dance on a volcano is brilliant

When I think of Genesis, this song starts the trail of memories. Such a stage for musicianship and storytelling. Let the dance begin!

I love this Album! I love you Genesis! The Best Band of the world! ❤️🎼🎶

Phil Collins :great voice and great drumming

un des meilleurs albums sans nul doute !

Possibly their best album after Selling England. An absolute marvel, it's true musical greatness.

5:33 to 37 is such an overlooked part of this song. Brilliant.

La mia fu moglie, sosteneva che i Genesis; li teggava così: ingegneri, della musica....aveva ragione 🤍💙

So geniale Musik 🎶 immer noch zum träumen👍💋🌹

Cet album relève du divin. Une révélation. Je ne m'en suis tjs pas remis. :-)

genesis forewer love from italy

Brilliant drumming ! 😊

Thanks so much to Genesis for putting the whole back catalogue up for free steadily over time - this is a band who know that exposure is the best advertising they can get - this channel has opened up older works to new fans and also newer stuff for the older fans that may have not heard much of it - Genesis setting an example a LOT of bands could learn from

Классный альбом............................................................

My best album of Genesis. The music is purely magical.

Hace 50 años que lo escucho... y seguiré haciéndolo hasta el final de mi vida! Disfruto de todos los integrantes, pero especialmente de SH.

Sensational start of the first album without Peter! The fab four at their best!! I love this track and this album!

This album came on my birthday! feb. 2! (But not the year of 1976 i was born in 2003!) i heared those songs on my first time, i was surprised of what Genesis was capable to do. My Dad Introduced me to Genesis, and Untill this day, i keep hearing those masterpieces. Los Endos is an absolute perfect closing to the album! And all the songs are perfect too!!

Good track

It is as fresh as the first time I heard it all those years ago. All the magic is there and it still sparkles :)

A Masterpiece for the Ages. Rock at its BEST.

One of the best album openers of all time

An absolute masterpiece - stunning and breathtaking!

I hope the boys sing this at the concert. Very well made track

Possibly their best song w/out Gabriel. 👏🏻🙏🏻🤙🏻

Legend has it that they tried out 200 singers when Pete left, and here they'd had his replacement in the band the whole time. The rest is rock history!

Top prog-rock song of a generation

No idea why they never released this as a single, it could've been a classic rock radio staple. Its anthemic, catchy and not too long of a Genesis song to be a single

@Genesis Oh My Goodness! I FINALLY GET TO HEAR THIS ALBUM!! It’s on my “Wish List!” I’m slowly recollecting my lost collection!

Saw genesis at Sophia Gardens, first ever concert absolutely brilliant a total eclipse of the heart for Genesis

Great song!!!! I LOVE YOU Genesis ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Descobri o Gênesis nos meus 16 anos por essa pérola rara obrigado Gênesis que nos meu atuais 58 sempre me toca de uma forma profunda nos meus sonhos ❤ que nunca mudaram 🎼🎻🎸

My first concert 8/4/76 Beacon Theatre NYC

This may be my number one favorite Genesis album opener… but I also really love “Behind the Lines” “Dancing With the Moonlit Knight” and “Watcher of the Skies” so it’s hard. I guess Genesis just has a lot of strong opening tracks.

This is the best phil collins album.

Great Song 🍀🍀🌞🌞💫💫

Brilliant track, I think they played this at Maple Leaf Gardens in the early mid 80s and was still amazing!

Thank you for the exelent sound quality.

Great use of synth bass here

SOUNDTRACK OF LIFE FOR MANY IN THE 1970S

Whoever' said dance on a volcano. ABSOLUTELY

a masterpiece....the entire album

Unforgettable !

the drums man, the drums !

Considering this was the first album without Peter, a new style was obviously on the cards but what they ended up with was an absolute masterpiece.

Phil may not have been technically the greatest drummer ever, but man he plays his heart out here and he is so insanely creative. There is some high energy wickedness about his ideas, they are extremely inspired and two of my favorite pro drummers where I live state that Phil as the reason they started picking up the drum sticks.
