My INTERPRETATION of this incredible live track by Genesis. It is not note for note by any means; I have not studied video footage and I have not seen transcriptions. This is learnt 'by ear'. So go easy on me!
In my view this is one of the greatest pieces of rock music ever created, and this live performance is absolutely stunning. The drums by Phil & Chester obviously are epic, awesome, mind-numbingly great etc, but then again, the huge bass, the beautiful keyboards, the immense guitar and of course the vocals, are just sublime. Phil is not just a great drummer -- his singing on this is absolutely brilliant.
I had to split this cover somewhere to fit it on YouTube, and so chose the end of Lover's Leap for Part 1, and the end of Willow Farm for Part 2. Part 3 obviously has the epic 9/8 and Eggs is Eggs bit. The vids overlap slightly and this is all one take. Hope the splits do not take away too much from your enjoyment.
THE GUARANTEED ETERNAL SANCTUARY MAN -- such a massive drum sound and so much bloody space! I find this seemingly straightforward bit really hard: very difficult to get the Chester groove. He is incredible.
IKHNATON & ITSACON & THEIR MERRY BAND OF MEN- the most hectic bit of this cover I guess. Again, deceptive stuff from Chester, in my view. He keeps a great groove going throughout the section, including all those big fills. Very hard to get it right. The end piece of this (at about 4:00) is really nasty! My bass drum doubles fade out of their own accord in this, even though that was not what I wanted to do..... :-(
WILLOW FARM - so much open space in Chester's drumming, it is very hard to get it to sound right. Intricate and perfect stuff from him. Those damn pauses just after the rimshot bit - fuck! I love drumming to it, but it never sounds like Chester.......he is the man!
