1 comment :
Lance was concerned by the length of this review so I thought I'd better add a couple of bits.
I hope anybody who knows the album doesn't think I class Firth of Fifth as filler. I assumed they would do the album in full and in order so I didn't even take a note pad. This track is one of four killers off the album and if you like Gabriel era Genesis you'll agree and if you don't you won't.
One group who maybe should give it a listen are guitarists. Hackett has made loads of solo albums over forty years but this is still unanimously considered his finest hour and he has never not played it live.
He ain't a flash guitarist like in Jazz or the best rock players but it's a fine solo.
Also the flute playing was quite good and more important in early Genesis than even I had realised. They all have a go but some are terrible.
The Carpet Crawlers do a set of Gabriel and one of Collins (including some Gabriel stuff Collins recorded live) and he plays flute and drums, the latter quite well, so that's real devotion.
Los Endos, another tribute band are playing Whitley Bay on Friday and Consett on sat. I've seen them before and they're good - Genesis music doesn't have the same virtuosic challenges of Yes - and on Saturday they're doing Trick of the Tail, first and best Collins album (closing with the track with which they share their name), much in the same vein as it's predecessors. At the time many didn't realise it wasn't Peter.
