Genesis - Los Endos (Album - A Trick of the Tail 1976) Genesis in Concert 1976 - Los Endos Phil Collins - Drums Mike Rutherford - Guitar, Bass Tony Banks - Keyboards Steve Hackett - Guitar Bill Bruford - Drums
I know Phil, Mike and Tony are a class act, but in 1976 (I saw this tour), the icing on the cake was Steve Hackett. He added SO much to early-era Genesis. I've seen him multiple times since (and Mike, and indeed Genesis as whole), but wow he can make a guitar do things (soulful, technical, beautiful) that few guitarists could ever hope to match. Love the guy.
I love all eras of Genesis but it's extremely hard for me to deny that when Steve left they lost something special. Peter's departure wasn't a huge loss for me because the band more than made up for it with ATOTT and W&W but Steve's departure they definitely lost something. As much as I love their 80s output nothing they put out then can match Wind & Wuthering, that album was their peak for me.
Absolutely classic Genesis. For any of you who don't know Steve Hackett is still touring - worldwide. I've seen him with his new band - mostly playing classic Genesis. Just Brilliant!...
He does meet and greet at many venues, well worth the extra cost, he is so down to earth. He is one of the best guitarists ever. I'm praying he comes to Australia this year.
If you ever get the chance to see The Musical Box i cannot recommend them enough. They focus on the 5- and 4-man eras and both Phil & Steve have sat in on performances with them before. Pete took his daughter to see them once, and I believe they even have the original slides from the Lamb show IINM. I buy a couple tickets and bring a friend to go to see them every time they visit my hometown (Cincinnati).
Ya lo creo!! Y me emociona saber que Phil lo admiraba mucho a Bill. Era un referente para él. De hecho, Phil fue uno de los que sugirió su presencia en la banda cuando actuaran en vivo. Les vino bien que en ese momento Bill ya no tenía compromisos con KING CRIMSON ni actuando con banda propia como lo hizo después.
@@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP yes if you were asked to name the best bassists (actually all round musicians) of all time I'm sure Mike Rutherford would sadly not get a mention. 😁
@@HUBBABUBBADOOPYDOOP "Don't forget- when in Studio- Rutherford is Bass and Guitar and backing vocals. Hackett plays only while on the road." Absolute twaddle. Steve Hackett played lead guitar on all studio recordings from Nursery Cryme to Wind and Wuthering. Rutherford played some 12 string on those, but only took over as main guitarist after Hackett left. And the guitarist who played with them as a touring musician after Hackett left was Daryl Steurmer. Do you actually know anything about Genesis???
The amazing thing about Genesis was their ability to perform such complex music live and have it sound this tight - this good. And of course, Collins' drumming. No wonder he ended up with physical issues later in life. Threw his entire body into performing night after night especially during these years when he was "fusion drummer" Phil.
Some have hilighted the fact that you forgot to mention the great Bill. He was holding ghe sticks during the whole tour. Phil, only at times. I whitnessed this in June 1976. In Brussels. As in April 75 when they were FIVE...
I was driving home listening to the radio when Bill Bruford came on being interviewed. I was a big Yes fan and was sad to see him leave right before the CTTE tour which I saw. I saw the Lamb Lies Down tour as well and was a Genesis fan since Selling England. So here it is 1976 and Bill is telling the radio guy that he will be in concert tonight playing with Genesis! What!?! I immediately turned the car around and headed to the Music Hall (Houston). Got a great seat and saw this entire concert! When Bill and Phil played together it was magic! I’ll never forget it.
@@danvelgtr I attribute Bill Bruford as one who first got me listening to drums. Although drums are on most music (rock/pop) it's just there. I play keyboards so I'm always attracted to those instruments. Bruford's playing caused me to notice the drums on a different level, widening my appreciation for other instruments than keyboards.
@@danvelgtr Burford was a far more technical drummer than Collins with a much wider scope and ability, totally different styles, Collins was / is basically a rock drummer and a very good one, Burford had jazz roots and could play multiple time signatures to an exceptional degree, also his ability to stride many different styles while maintaining a distinctively personal sound was unmatched by Collins or almost any rock drummer. I can understand that on a personal level you prefer Phil , but on a technical level he dose not match Bill in any way.
@danvelgtr Collins is a great drummer, no doubt. He’s fast and precise. As a drummer, listening and dissecting Bill’s technique taught me how to be a musician first, and a percussionist second.
No doubt Rob. He was definitely one of the best and he was a brilliant singer as well. I am a huge Genesis fan and I was an even bigger fan of ELP, so I would have to rank Carl Palmer up there as well as these 2 giants....Phil and Bill.
@@delby66 None of them are the "best" as if there was such a thing. Palmer had horrible time keeping skills, and his fill were bombastic and sloppy. Saw them live many times. I am amazed how well he kept up though!
@@morbidmanmusic - agreed. You would have to include Buddy Rich and more lately Steve Gadd in terms of contribution to the art. And what about John Bonham and Ginger Baker? And Ringo of course with his odd syncopation and time keeping - 4 geniuses in that band, the Fabs. No such thing as best in terms of musicians.
Search the RU-vid clip for Dutch group ‘Focus’ and their track ‘Sylvia’. You will then find where Genesis found their inspiration for the track Los Endos.
They just do not make music like this today. Great stuff growing up with Genesis. Loved that early Genesis 1979n and older. And of course, King Crimson, ELP, Yes, Pink Floyd, and others..
I really hope it will. I myself have discovered Early Genesis music not long ago, in my late 30s, and was shocked how beautiful it is, and so very different from the Late Genesis (Abacab and further). I've never felt so nostalgic for the music I had never heard in my life before. I felt like I was searching for this music my whole life, and somehow never found it until recently. Same with Gryphon.
@@tronlady1 It may survive. There's hope. A lot of young people are looking into the past for real music that's timeless. I think they'll have to dig quite a bit because the front page is always going to be the trash of today, but they will. And there are a lot of grandparents with good taste still about to share it🙂
This is his drumming peak, after The Lamb, Eno tracks, and the year of Brand X. I always liked this tour, having Bruford with them brought out a little friendly competitiveness between the two, you never saw Los Endos quite this ferocious and embellished afterwards (he didn't usually do the fill at 2:00 even on this tour). They also dropped the album intro to run it with Dance on Volcano.
I seen Genesis everytime they have toured since 1976. Still got tickets for current postponed tour . Genesis and Phil Collins music have been a part of my life .
As good as it gets, Genesis at their best, special era when they demonstrated how to showcase outstanding musicianship. Absolutely brilliant, Phil's drumming is a masterclass.
This is powerful, organic, hyperintense spirit-rock played by musicians at the top of their game. It transports you to places where truly elevated thinking can take place. I play all the 70s prog rock bands (and some more recent stuff - Big Big Train etc.) in my car for my daughter and we talk about it. It gives me great pleasure when she says "Daddy, this music is amazing." Even children can discern perfection.

I agree with you, but one of the reasons why there were many music bands, which even after 50 years we continue to enjoy, is because of the freedom of thought where such groups of talents could flourish.

I was fortunate enough to see Genesis live twice with Peter Gabriel. The Musical Box was absolutely the most incredible song performed live I have ever seen. And I have seen Yes perform Starship Trooper.
Me too along with the entire CTTE Album It was a Religious eperiance at 14 YO We were all soooooooo very lucky in the DAY but damnit I never had the chance to se Genesis But FLYOD DSOTM and ELP TARKUS oh YEAH . Just to keep you alive Check out out Nightwish a Finish symphonic metal band Ghost Love Score Live at Wacken 2013 It totally re-energized me They are a very deep rabbit hole Like the old days ENJOY
Musically, the best line-up. Steve isn't maliciously made so soft in the mix that you could hardly hear him. Bill Bruford is at top form. Everyone is so energetic. But mostly, those zoom-ins on Phil, embracing the creative machine that he is, every beat a sacrifice of bone and flesh, giving all in a way that most drummers don't dream of. Genesis was often considered very cerebral, music for your head, not your heart. Those bright young fellows from art school who made such clever songs. But in every stop in every tour, every fan that left the show out of breath just from watching - watching Phil, the way he brought it to the crowd every night. Playing like Phil, well, that where the term "wear and tear" comes from. Pounding the drums like that, you wear down bone, you tear through cartilage and ligaments, and halfway through a career like Phil's, you've worn down your doctor's patience, who pulls up an x-ray and asks, "Exactly how long do you expect to keep this up?" And watching that man's career unfold, from the first time we heard him in Fountain of Salamcis, thinking, "Man, their new drummer is a total force of nature," to The Battle of Epping Forest, where you're thinking, "That was in 11/8. That drummer just did 32nd-note triplet rolls in 11/8. What the hell?" - who went on to sum up all the tearful melodrama of 80's ballads with lyrics like "turn around and see me cry." And while radio listeners like me spent a decade trying to avoid Phil's sappy, romantic tear-jerkers, the soundtrack for every boy who lost his girl, that same Phil was tearing through flesh and bone behind his kit, creating thunder with his arms and legs in a blur, and doing so well after it was no longer financially necessary. For more than a decade, he and Chester would map out those drum solos, planning for those shows in which fans would not be able to believe their eyes and ears: 5/8, 7/8, 9/8 then crash. The physical transformation of Phil Collins into a stooped gnome walking in constant pain was gradual. Intensely physical drummers like Phil don't wear down their bodies overnight. They ignore the signs, the warnings of doctors, pile on the ibuprophen an whatever else, and get through the shows, get through the tour, and get through the decade, giving what they can. Media-watchers like me have seen musicians transformed by time from boys into crumpled men. But most of that was from pharmaceutical excess and debauchery. But not Phil Collins. Over 4 decades, we watched him give every last bit of himself to his craft, beat by beat.
Couldn't have put it better myself, he's a man who wore himself down to the bone marrow for his art. It's sad to see his health decline over the years. I recently watched the 2007 Rome performance after reading his book and the description he gives of being in agony during the performance, really shows on video. He helped me mend my broken heart and has continued to be a huge inspiration in dealing with the problems I've encountered in my life. Although, he is frail and a shell of his former self, he has left a legacy behind him of masterful drumming, heart poured singing and music which will inspire many as well as winter the ages.
@@Sanoko-Chan No it doesn’t ‘really show’ on the video because Phil didn’t injure himself until the American leg of the tour which came AFTER the Rome show.
That was probably the finest tribute to Phil and the spirit of Genesis I have ever read, good on you brother. I remember how thunderstruck I was when I carefully counted out the "9/8" in the final part of "Suppers Ready" on Seconds Out. "Seven trumpets blowing sweet rock and roll..." indeed.
What I love about the Trick of the Tail tour is Genesis basically saying "Oh....you all thought Genesis was dead because Peter Gabriel left?" And then they played this stuff!! Man, when they make the drop into Squonk at the end, it hits like a tsunami!
It is still, and for over 40 years, for me the absolute best music and sound that will ever be, but nothing comes up! I met GENESIS at the age of 16 and am already 63 - there is and there will be nothing better than GENESIS!
Saw this in Ottawa in '76. As I recall, they pretty much did the album and ended early with this song, then came back out and did Supper's Ready for an encore with an even bigger epic ending. Nobody complained. I distinctly remember everyone being completely blown away.
Steve was the real heart of Genesis, and is the only one still going strong. His influence on the great compositions is astounding. They are his. Gensis died after he left. Phil should have stuck to drumming.
@@foxtrotnow I'm very jealous! He's added Watcher of the Skies and other stuff since I saw the SEBTP tour. I have to wait till November now for the Seconds Out tour.
l FLIPPED when l first heard Seconds Out! l was 16 and just went BONKERS! Especially when hearing Bruford, and Thompson were on it! BON _KERS!_ Still love it.
@@simonheathcote4173 ~ Thank you for your comment! Still go BONKERS at that version of Cinema Show, and its unique and stupendous ending! Now go listen to Hackett's version of Firth of Fifth and watch him put the real Genesis to shame ..on this one! Here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-x1ptsP6Upsc.html
@@simonheathcote4173 ~ Not if the Sec Out version is the first one you ever HEARD you cant! :D l'll never get used to the Plenty one ....in comparison... either! l dont know how old you are but l heard Seconds Out version FORTY years ago. lt was STUPENDOUS! :D
Holy shit, Phil was a complete monster in this performance. Those 32nd note runs ripped through me like machine gun fire and his intelligent and powerful phrasing filled every nook and cranny. Beautiful.
Two of Englands most interesting drummers of their time, synchroniszed to support the first GENESIS tours without Peter Gabriel. I saw them live in Berlin, and they gave EVERYthing to convince us that they can do it without Peter. And how they could! Phil at the mike had the sympathies of the Berlin audience from the first seconds on, and he never lost it. He is such a fine chap! And Peter, who wanted and needed new freedom, he showed he could also get on without the band. That they still remained friends after all those years, is a fine and maybe rare example of closeness in the music business, and for me one of their greatest and finest achievements. If I look at the PINK FLOYD - well, you all know what I mean...
So true, it was like both Genesis and PG and his touring bands (for example Tony Levin, that great drummer etc.) both achieved incredible success, created two great bodies of work, but the personal side makes it a richer story.
Cari giovani, guardate e soprattutto ascoltate quello che mai più ci sarà. Carissimi Genesis GRAZIE GRAZIE GRAZIE di esserci stati! ❤❤❤ .un saluto 👋 a tutti voi, max di Bergamo, Italia.
Saw this movie at the Dominion on Tottenham Court Road. Bloody lovely, then saw them live live several times. Probably the best band in the world, ever.
Citizen B / Definitely one of the most underrated lead guitarists around. Others may be faster and more technical, but few can match the emotions he evokes.
Me too , have this album , A trick of the tail and recently bought a Rega turntable so i could listen to the pure sound of my LP`s again , Supertramp , Queen , ELO , Genesis , Meatloaf , Pink Floyd etc etc .... Music is dead now and asking alexa to play a song is no way to enjoy REAL music
Dear Genesis, Your song catalogue is superb. PLEASE reunite for a concert tour. Many of your fans will fly ANYWHERE for an opportunity to listen once again to this great music. One more time before we all die. It is magic.
Fanny- This comment is 2 years late. No way Phil could play drums like this anymore. He is not physically up to the challenge at his age. For them now at their age to reunite would be a sad display of what they once were (youthful energy) and would be painful to watch for anyone trying to relive these glory days. Similar to what the Rolling Stones have become, a grandiose novelty act playing 40-50 year old songs. I prefer to just watch these videos of them (and the Stones) in their prime and appreciate them for that.
I was privileged to see Genesis at Hampden Park, Glasgow in 1987…..the best concert ever, and I have seen many great bands…simply the best, and for me from their early works to their last works, all are timeless and supreme…..how lucky are we….how lucky was I , that night in Glasgow….happy memories…
I first saw Genesis at age 15, but I was 10 for this tour. While the drumming duo of Chester and Phil is no slouch duo, I am forever jealous of those who got to see this tour with Bill Bruford.
What an amazing sound Steve makes from his guitar, so creative and imaginative. The band as a whole were out of this world to listen to as each contributed to that Genesis sound and song. I could listen to this forever.
Este disco del 76 está considerado como una de las mejores y más grandes obras maestra musicalmente hablando de todos los tiempos amigos que clase de agrupación este Génesis es una lastima que el tiempo no se pueda detener para quedarnos por siempre con este concierto.
Amazing, amazing, amazing! This band in their heyday was brilliant beyond words. I was lucky enough to see them for my first time the following year, on their 1977 Seconds Out tour. The only difference was Chester Thompson was on the second drumset instead of Bill Bruford, but still a phenomenal show!
Quite a live album . I have a promo copy . The was under appreciated here in the US all through the 70’s. I have friends that only listen to Abacab and up!
42 years later I am watching and listening; discovering even more beauty and heart felt emotion in this piece and its meaning than before. In its simplicity it is wonderfully complex in affect. This has got to be up there in the top 5 of all epic progressive compositions. Certainly stands right along with Heart Of The Sunrise etc etc.
Now that was the age of progressive rock. It all began with Genesis. I have always believed the band was well underrated. Show me a band that even comes close to Genesis. Their talent and music will live on forever.
It didn't all begin with Genesis, they were one of many groups that started doing this adventurous style of music, like Yes, King Crimson, ELP, Jethro Tull, etc
@@AK99581 You are right but Genesis were by far the youngest of them all. They wrote Trespass when being under 20 years old, that's very hard to understand...
First time I saw Genesis was in 1976 my second year of college. I to was fortunate enough to have seen them 5 times and still have them on the top 5 favorites of all time. I saw them in Buffalo with Peter Gabriel when they did the Genesis Live LP, man what a light show!!!!
I agree, however IMO the cherry on top of this bash was the nod to Suppers Ready at the end. Phil probably didn't bother with it at live shows due to the fact he was on a drumming rampage and it would have been rather inconvenient, but no matter how many times I watch or listen to Los Endos live, I still sing it to myself internally!
I saw every Genesis tour from "Selling England..." through "And Then There Were Three." Collectively, they were just the best and their music from that era is still great.
Well, I love Phil, but there are some more phantastic drummers in the world such as Steve Gadd, Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colaiuta, Bernard Purdie, Neil Peart, Dave Weckl or John Bonham, just to name a few. 😉
Ah, the music of our youth. .it may fade at times, but then comes back with a fkn vengeance. Like, 'you're still here, I'm still here; let's rock!' A lifesaver it is.
There's Dance on a Volcano in there too, these bookend codas revisiting songs on the album became a bit of a mini tradition, they had it at the end of Selling England by the Pound, Wind & Wuthering, here, and Duke. They'd also usually play a song from whatever the 2nd to last album was as setlist openers on tours.
I mean it’s like a anachronistic slip. Somehow way ahead of its time right now. I know the sounds are 70s but the compositional quality. Majestic, Minds Blown.
Bill Bruford (YES - King Crimson) on drums (joined by Phil for instrumentals). With the original Steve Hackett. Pre - Darryl Struemer and Chester Thompson. One of their earliest performances of Los Endos. Wow!!!!!
Tom McFall I bet it was. I saw the following year when Chester Thompson became the 2nd drummer. Still great but Bill Bruford adds that style- fusion. But my being a Genesis fan goes further back - before they came to the US and were just starting out in the U.K. So when they finally came to the U.S. I saw the first 2 tours- w/Peter Gabriel- 4th row- mesmerizing!
I missed out on the Selling England tour but saw Lamb early Dec ‘74. The album had come out two weeks before, and I’m sure many like me hadn’t gotten it yet, or been able to digest the new double album. But to see Genesis with Gabriel and his theatrics perform in a small theater like the Academy of Music in NYC, it didn’t matter!
Bass pedals and Mellotron. What more could one ask ? Live music, light spectacle, dry ice in those days was something else. Seen most of the greats by the late 70’s. I used to remain on a dazed high for at least a week after the concerts
Abar, I am not sure it was dry ice as such, I seem to remember there were tankers of CO2 parked behind the stage. They had a huge valve at the back of the tanker and massive pipes from the valves to the back of the stage where they were fastened down so the pipes did not move when they were used. When the valves were opened the stage was flooded with cold CO2 that produced the massive white clouds on stage.
