GENESIS - Get'em Out By Friday Year: 1972 Album: Foxtrot Working title: Credits: Banks/Collins/Gabriel/Hackett/Rutherford Lyrics: Yes Length: 8:35 Musicians: Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford Played live: 1972, 1973 Cover versions: Steve Hackett, among others https://youtu.be/2js9Z6rtENA] Notes: Get'em Out By Friday from the album Foxtrot is a classic long song by Genesis with a playing time of over eight minutes, which differs somewhat from many others in its style. It lacks the sprawling instrumental part. Interestingly, the song never became a live classic, yet the performance by the Canadian band The Musical Box has repeatedly caused storms of enthusiasm since 2002 and also Steve Hackett has played this live during some of his Genesis Revisited tours.
