Though I do like some of the later stuff, the departure of Steve Hackett was really it for me too with Genesis, never quite the same. Peter Gabriel’s departure was bad enough but the loss of Hackett’s guitar ... . I also loved Gabriel’s costumes and his ‘stories’ and in ‘73 was privileged to see the awesome (and famously recorded) live performance of ‘Supper’s Ready’ at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester.

“If you go down to Willow Farm,
to look for butterflies, flutterbyes, gutterflies
Open your eyes, it's full of surprise, everyone lies,
like the fox on the rocks,
and the musical box.
Oh, there's Mum & Dad, and good and bad,
and everyone's happy to be here.”

I was too young to see that tour...but i was lucky enough to see the tribute band "The Musical Box" ..a band fully endorsed by Gabriel ...re create the tour at Wolverhampton Civic Hall about a decade ago...Genesis played there in the early 70s and i decided the trip to this small venue would be more appropriate given the feel and atmosphere The Musical Box were trying to re create.i was right.
The WCH show was absolutely brilliant,the last track,of course Suppers Ready building up to a barnstorming crescendo which stayed ringing in my ears the whole jpurney home.
I saw the band perform the same set at the Nottm royal concert hall later in the tour and there was something missing...intimacy lost..

Love Genesis,including a few tracks of their first album..In Limbo and The Silent Sun......Genesis to Revelation flopped as a commercial project on its release in 1969,but there are a few quality tracks ..as acknowledged by Noel Gallagher who apparently is a big fan of the embriyonic stages of this fantastic band.

Yes. Have from Genesis to Revelation (with bonus tracks) and there is good stuff on there. One-Eyed Hound is, I think, my favourite.
