Completely agree with a full Cage medley from 86 with Suppers Ready.
I'd like to add one more too: Duchess, 2022. Would love to hear a high-quality version of the rearrangement.

What are the live songs that you'd most like to hear that are only in bootleg/YouTube form, and not on any official live releases?
For me:
- Fly on a Windshield, 1976
- Entangled 1976
- Wot Gorilla 1977 (just for interest's sake!)
- Turn it on Again, 1980
- Like it or Not 1982

You Might Recall
Definitely get end of summer vibes from that and Like it or Not
-
Hard agree that Genesis are much more of a winter/autumnal band. Very few tracks in their catalogue that could be called a summer song at all but if i was to stretch iiit:
Jesus He Knows Me
Misunderstanding
IKWIL
Counting Out Time
It
Illegal Alien
Paperlate
On the Shoreline
-
The Border is up there with one of the best solo tracks he ever did and Throwback is a pop song that works.
-
One of my least favourite tracks on and album I generally quite like.
Doesn't do anything for me. Weaker than the similar tracks on the album, A Piece of You and Walls of Sound.

No you’re not alone. It’s not a bad song, in the sense that if, say, it came from Keane (who I know covered it) then you’d say it’s alright. It’s well assembled and catchy to a degree. But compared with the rich tapestry produced by Genesis it’s not great. Not for me (and sorry to those who think it’s excellent).
I was a few years into Genesis when this album came out. It was the first album I bought, as previously I just listened to my brother’s Genesis albums. But I suppose there lies the rub for me because the earlier material (plus Duke) really caught my attention whereas this album felt too simple and formulaic (apart from Mama and HBTS). I wasn’t struck on the album and this track plus most of side 2 is why I didn’t like it. For me it’s just not Genesis, not what made them special. Too shallow.
I agree with all of these points. It's a 14 for me but would probably only just make my Genesis top 50!

You are not alone!
It was the last album I bought as a fan, apart from the opener and closer, it does nothing for me, not news, I've said it before. (I taped a copy of IT, which didn't encourage me to restart.
Lyrically weak, and I'm not getting a country vibe at all, (but then I'm a Nanci Griffith fan, so that box is ticked already).
I've given it 3, and I umm'd and Arghed over that, cos 2 was calling to me!
Not even Second Home By The Sea?
-
A fantastic pop song wedged in between two rock/prog heavyweights and makes the first aide of shapes one of the stongest things they ever did.
Really love the country feel and guitars which make it different from their piano ballads of the era.

Simply, a good and well put together pop song.
I have heard it a lot now though, which may reflect my slightly lower score than it should perhaps have.

"Very Good -" for me.
One of their better b-sides, IMO. In fact most of the Abacab b-sides rank high in the favorites list for me. This one IMO would've been a good album contender. Great vocals, drums etc. The melodic interlude and key changes keep it from becoming monotonous.
It actually has a very Duke sound to me...as if it were something they wrote during the Duke sessions, but didn't record until Abacab....
I think Like it or Not has its origins in the Duke sessions. It sounds Duke-y with the crash of the drums at the start actually.
Perhaps Misunderstanding sounds more like it belongs on Abacab and Like it or Not sounds more at home on Duke?
-
Wow, strongly disagree with that! I think it's one of his finest performances. Really impassioned, and perfectly placed between melodic and gritty.
Have to agree. I think each band member is on form on this one. Do like the lyrics too.
Would've liked it on Abacab as well and it appears on there as part of my reimagined album in the rearrange an album thread. 13.

Turn it on Again. Never quite recpatured the intensity and drive of the studio version, especially the extended versions with the pop covers outros.
-
I agree with the website review. Ok, but a bit clunky.
Reminds me of Mechanical Bride. Straight forward but not much to it.
I don't mind the last 50 seconds where it tapers off into that solo.
The preceding three minutes, though, I thought was awful.
Agree that this is the best bit

I have now heard the three singles and Wychmore Hill suite.
Delightful acoustic music as ever with Ant maintaining his knack of making it interesting so it never feels like musak or background music.
