Notes: The album Duke was created during the period of reorientation of Genesis. Originally Behind The Lines was intended as the beginning of a second long track of the category Supper's Ready, but the band decided instead for a suite running through the album. The theme of the song, which is about pleading with an old love, fit very well with the private situation of Phil Collins, who was divorced from his first wife at the time of production. For the Turn It On Again Reunion Tour, the track was added to the set at the request of Tony Banks. However, neither Mike Rutherford nor Phil Collins wanted to play the song in full, so as a compromise Duke's Intro was created, a punchy opener consisting of Behind The Lines and Duke's End. The band eventually revisited this idea for their final tour 2021/2022. |
