Remember when music was musically creative and lyricaly cerebral? I miss those days.
This kind of music exists in these days.. but you won't find in any mainstream media... try something like Nightwish or Ayreon (from someone whose first memory, at age of 6 or 7, where the cover art of this exact Genesis album (when it was new stuff).. and was scared as hell from Nursey Cryme) then you can go to the dark side and proceed with some Tool... and tasking some Dream Theather and Rush to ease the transition... (that is what i've done the past 2/3 years..) and you'll find new horizons (not that i've forgotten Genesis, King Crimson, Yes.. )
me too
Phil Collins is one of the best drummers ever lived. The creativity of this man is amazing.
Sad that i never had the chance to see him play live.
Same goes for every 70's Prog. Rock band.
If there would ever be a posibilty to travel back in time, The 70's would be the first stop.
and after it i would go far back to hear the great classic masters like Beethoven,
Wagner, Verdi.
I would simply travel through time and listen to music for the rest of my days
You're so lucky that you can listen to ANYTHING now, at the click of a button. In the 70s, you only got to hear what was played on the radio, or what your mates had. Oh, The Old Grey Whistle Test was pretty good, too.
Still one of the most fantastic pieces of prog rock I've ever heard . First found it in 1978 still listening in 2024. What great musicians.
I am 23 and this is just timeless. Not enough music these days feels like art like this.
Exactly 😊
Maybe video game music
@@AtomizedSound so so..
I truly believe that when Phil Collins recorded the drums for this track..............he was the best drummer on the planet that day!
Especially at 2:57
Nadie le gana a pomo de invisible
Phil was the finest prog ,rock ,pop drummer!
If you like Phil's amazing playing, you should check out Brand X. Almost every album has him on drums and percussion, and his playing on the albums is amazing.
Phil was the best drummer ever every time he played
These guys will last in musical history for many years still. What they did in the 70s is so good. People will play this long after they as well as we are gone. But we were the generation that grew up with their music!
love what you say there... you are so so right about all of what you said. This music is unique and enigmatic. Peter's voice is indescribable and very special
Genesis albums take me to a magical and mysterious place.
YES, largly thanks to how fucking amazing Peter Gabriel is
Oh absolutely. The 5 musical geniuses create wonderlands !!
@@davidbanan. his voice comes from the center of the earth
Peter Gabriel: il Mago❤❤❤
One of the greatest album openers ever.
Peter's acappella intro always lifts my soul up.
It's literally my favorite part of the whole album I usually double take on it
that is the youtube advertisement
Apart from Gabriel's epic acappella, Gabriel's flute blowing is also mesmerizing and immersive
@@johnmcdonald789 The end: "I don't belong here ... etc." is very impressive. Together with this mind-blowing intro creates a kind of frame for the whole album.
Selling England by the pound is a masterpiece. How many memories
It's been over 30 years since I've listened to this song.
My brother was an absolute genesis nut and I started liking them, he was obsessed with Phil Collins's drumming and joined a band to be a drummer himself but died 15 years ago and didn't see his dream realised.
This one's for you Mark RIP 🙏 love you bro
Sorry for your loss
@@denisespencer6550thank you, I know he's in a much better place now ❤💖💗
❤
The dream and the memory lives on in your words and story. RIP
The best opening song on a progressive rock album.
21st Century Schizoid Man?
Close to The Edge?
Roundabout and Ace of Wands?
@@dmitriichernov313 huckleberry finn
Agreed, although Aqualung and Roundabout are close behind
The drums of this song is amazing.
True! But on the other hand, what is not amazing on this song?
Love the Mellotron in this. Can’t even imagine hearing this when it was new… how mind-blowing that must have been.
@silverxstar01 I saw them do this at the Roxy soon after it came out. Im 70 now but I remember it perfectly. It was mind blowing. And I sure do miss the mellotron.
I first witnessed live this when I was 15 and still sounds as good as ever. Also a good a singer Phil is imho he cannot replicate PG’s vocals on the early stuff. 🎸🎤🎶👌
This is what I answer when people ask me for my favourite album ever
Great cover. Genesis is prolly the only band that I associate mostly with yellow
@@Syfoll beige
@@Syfoll The cover sure is great! I associate the early stuff with pastel looking yellow, blue, and green, while the later stuff with more bright versions of those colors.
It's one of those albums that are great beginning to end.
@@Syfolllight green
I am 67, lived in England between 75 and 1979, magic.
I'm 67 and live in the US. Highly jealous my friend
In my opinion, the best Genesis song, and one of the best songs in prog.
agreed, Duke's Travels is a close second
This is great but what about Suppers Ready
@@Soft_Machine Everybody talk about Supper’s Ready (Epic), but this real masterpiece
Maybe a tie between this and Firth of Fifth. Both on the same album. Whew!
Based zigzag wanderer
make me a promise... listen to the whole album. the opening theme comes back at the very end. so worth it.
everyone talks about how good of an opener this is, but i see few people talk about how perfect of a closer aisle of plenty is!
Metal owes a thing or two to early Genesis.
Steve Harris from Iron Maiden has said Genesis was one of his biggest influences
Definitely, especially early LIVE Genesis. Listen to this live and parts of it sound like early metal.
More like EVH who wasn't really metal. So maybe indirectly.
@@erikstorm8935 Their song "the knife" is imo the closest they ever came to metal but that's more like proto metal.
I believe metal owes more to King Crimson. 20th Century Schizoid Man sounds like what if John Lennon and Black Sabbath had a love child. The beauty of prog, however, is that you can pick a good album and get tastes of metal, jazz, funk, rock, and classical, all in the span of less than one hour.
If you're still listening and enjoying this after 48 years.. Join the dance you're a true legend
Love for music can be blind too, and everyone loves what the heart says, but there's no need to disrespect Phil Collins' Genesis just because they prefer Peter Gabriel's or prog rock. 70's Genesis should always be remembered and celebrated, but not more than Phil Collins' Genesis or Peter Gabriel solo career, that aren't in any way worse than the younger Genesis as some want to make believe. They all became more and more mature, experienced and wiser, with stronger melodies and lyrics so much more relatable, and smart, and so much more evolved production. Love for all.
Yep! Many true legends here.
I only got on board with Genesis 37 years ago due to a friend's recommendation. Thanks to Chris Spagnola, wherever you are.
I'll be here in 27 years then :)
I'm 38 and still enjoying it, does that count?!
Selling...and the Lamb will forever remain two great masterpieces. Magic,class,and melancholy of my youthful years.
@sevengates222Nursery and Trespass : Amazing - Foxtrot/Selling/ The Lamb : Legendary
Steve Hackett showed his true genius on this album.
I feel like all the bandmembers showed their musical genius on this album, and on Lamb LIes Down and after Gabriel left Trick of the Tail and Wind and Wuthering.
3:46 - 3:51 Such a marvelous excerpt.
One of early Genesis’s many outstanding masterpieces of musical composition. I never get tired of hearing it. Live it’s even more exciting. Thankfully Steve Hackett and his incredible band have perfected its performance for modern times.
And your consideration for Trick of the Tale? That album is my sleeping tonic. The harmonies and wonderfully occasional off-beat drumming... seminal. BTW, I sense you.
@@mikepepper7218 That one was a rip-off: no one knew Peter had left the band and Phil had slyly slipped in....
@@fubokuen wat?, LITTERLY EVERY ONE KNEW HED LEFT LOL
Absolutely. And live, parts of it even sound like early metal! They really amped it up live.
@@mikepepper7218 Tail?
I sometimes forget how good this is. And how intricate and powerful Genesis were at this, probably their peak.
In Retrospect
Their Genius
Indeed. Work of art
Some interesting notes about the song from Wikipedia:
The song was developed from several brief piano pieces composed by frontman Peter Gabriel, which were later combined with some of Steve Hackett's guitar figures to make up the song.
Gabriel contributed English-themed lyrics to "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight", because the music press thought that Genesis were putting too much effort into appealing to the American audiences. He also included some references to Green Shield Stamps in the lyrics. Rolling Stone wrote that the song was an "epic commentary on contemporary England"
On a side note: It is really sad that Mike Rutherford does not get the recognition he deserves as an incredible Prog bassist.
Everyone in the band is in the top 5 for the best at what they do, it's ridiculous
He's very underrated
Best album they made. Firth of fifth always makes me cry
The AMAZING lyrics for those who wish to sing along...
"Can you tell me where my country lies?"
Said the unifaun to his true love's eyes
"It lies with me!" cried the Queen of Maybe
For her merchandise, he traded in his prize
"Paper late!" cried a voice in the crowd
"Old man dies!" The note he left was signed 'Old Father Thames'
It seems he's drowned
Selling england by the pound
Citizens of Hope & Glory,
Time goes by, it's "the time of your life"
Easy now, sit you down
Chewing through your Wimpey dreams,
They eat without a sound
Digesting England by the pound
Young man says "you are what you eat" eat well
Old man says "you are what you wear" wear well
You know what you are, you don't give a damn
Bursting your belt that is your homemade sham
The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance
Follow on! Till the Grail sun sets in the mould
Follow on! Till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight,
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout
There's a fat old lady outside the saloon
laying out the credit cards she plays Fortune
The deck is uneven right from the start
And all of their hands are playing apart
The Captain leads his dance right on through the night
Join the dance
Follow on! A round table talking down we go
You're the show
Off we go with, you play the hobbyhorse,
I'll play the fool
We'll tease the bull
Ringing round & loud, loud & round
Follow on! With a twist of the world we go
Follow on! Till the gold is cold
Dancing out with the moonlit knight,
Knights of the Green Shield stamp and shout
Thanks for lyrics. Best band; G E N E S I S
Thanks! Love this song!
Doesn’t everyone know them 🤪 Thanks.
Very good words. 😉
Thanks, I sang along :)
It seemed to me that each member just totally lit it up on this song. Almost all of them were soloing throughout but it's so well written played that it made a huge statement that these early 20s guys could deliver the best pro rock of the era.
Selling England by the Pound is one of those concept albums about the consequences of modernization, albeit one that can get lost in translation because of all the references to British companies. Like, when Peter Gabriel sings in this song:
"Chewing through your Wimpy dreams
They eat without a sound
Digesting England by the Pound."
He's referring to the Wimpy's burger chain from the UK, which was kind of like Burger King in the sense that it was very present in the 1970s.
It’s a double meaning: Wimpy, the restaurant chain, and Wimpey, the construction company behind many suburban houses in the UK.
Hermanos castro
@@stereoroid doubt that!
@@Ifyoudonttakeitucantfakeit I don't. Chewing refers to food so it definitely refers to WImpy. No one who ever ate food from a Wimpy would refer to it as the stuff of dreams, however, 'dreams' could easily refer to the dream of a new life with a new suburban house (i.e the dreams of the young middle class). Anyone in the UK at the time would recognise Wimpey as like every other mass suburban 'redevelopment' company they plastered their signs all over their 'sparkling' new estates.
Knights of the GREEN SHIELD STAMP and shout. Re: Green Shield Stamps (English Coupons). Tess Co-operates (Tesco) finds a safe way home (Safeway).
A new journey has begun, Selling England By The Pound! ❤️🎶🎧
One of rhe best records I've ever heard in my life. Had it on my smartphone and heard all the way from my home to my last work
My first Genesis album. No words, just insanely amazing music. I love it more year after year.
Greatest Genesis album.
Genesis with Gabriel ; Speechlessly brilliant amazing awesome super !!
Genesis with Collins. The same.
Played this album since I was a kid ..
if I close my eyes with this album on it feels like I am back there . Music is the nearest thing we will get to a Time Machine to take us back to a better time and place .. if only briefly.
I love this album, by far (one of) the best Genesis album
Genesis is a perfect band!
it is with peter gabriel.
@@karlhelm875 and Phil collins, you can't have a good band if you don't have a good drummer!
Sono 40 anni che ascolto questo disco ed è sempre bello e spettacolare come al primo acolto. Genialita pura! Grazie ! ❤️
Amo i Genesis e questo album in particolare ...li ascolto dai tempi del liceo artistico Anni 80 /84 ...Stupendi!!

🎶 Dancing With The Moonlit Knight 🎶 Thanks Genesis For This
Excellent, Awesome & Fantastic Masterpiece Of Music, You're The Best!!!!!
GENESIS FOREVER!!!!! 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼 🎤🎹🎸🥁🎸🎼
Simply forget how good the drumming is on this track, outstanding
legendary album... genesis music is legendary like beethoven, mozart, bach etc... music - incredible, eternal music
Wow! I’m blown away! That was so good; I’ve never heard anything like this before. I heard blues, folk, classical, and a little hip hop too when the beat first dropped. I just can’t believe the sounds those guys produced; no wonder they’ve lasted so long! Genius! Genesis has always been my favorite rock group and Honestly, I have been choosing to listen to the post Peter Gabriel, with Phil as the front man; just because he’s my second favorite rock star and I grew up listening to him with Genesis and his solo stuff. But shame on me for not going back to the earlier Genesis sooner! I didn’t know what I was missing and I want more!
I'd never heard of Genesis until '83 when they released the "Genesis" album and liked it a lot. Phil's "Coming in the Air" I was familiar with but hadn't connected him with Genesis. Our local library had "Selling England" and "ToTT" so I checked those out and absolutely loved them. In a short while I had the whole collection to date, but honestly wasn't terribly impressed with their music after Steve left. A lot of it was okay (JMHO) but I really fell in love with the Hackett-Gabriel era.
Trespass, Nursery Crymes and Foxtrot are magical.
@@denismorgan6000 I'd say A Trick of the Tail is up there too.
@@denismorgan6000 The beginning sounds like The Middle Ages
Outkast sampled a bit of this on the amazing song "Spottieottieipolous"
Guitarists take note: Steve is doing two-hand tapping here, several years before Eddie Van Halen (RIP) put it front and center.
Technically he's using his pick to tap rather than Eddie's finger tapping approach. This is by no means the first example of tapping either.
@@Fletcher883 he tapped with his fingers on The Return of the Giant Hogweed and again with the pick on The Musical Box, both on Nursery Cryme, two years prior, in 1971. For sure it's not the first time, but it was the first time used so prominently and totally in the way guitarists after him used it.
Eddie never claimed to have invented two hand tapping. Just that he was one of the firsts to bring it to public knowledge.
He also plays prototype of the Crazy Train riff so he owns Rany Rhoads too :D
Not only that, but he also uses effects to leap octaves long before the whammy pedal was invented (plus he's using a volume pedal; no wonder he used to sit down at shows), and there's a bit of sweep-picking too. Quite a lot packed into one solo.
Dancing with...a sensational perfect fusion of 5 talented musicians!!
👏👌👍😂😉🤩👋✌❣🇧🇪
His voice 🌸
Great great record...how much i remember my youth..
I have a hard time picking a favorite Genesis album, this one is up there. Love how this one builds up and kind of explodes, then drifts off to a peaceful ending. I’ve never found anything else like the music of Genesis. Took a while for me to get into The Battle Of Epping Forest, but Firth Of Fifth and The Cinema Show/Aisle Of Plenty have always been among my all time favorite Genesis songs.
A good point well made,sir
I’ve been listening to this since I was 13. Unlike anything else, it grows on you; you always learn a bit more. Still learning; still listening to SEBTP.
A Masterpiece of Music.
Peter ,Tony , Mike and Anthony sure can write creative story telling song . Genesis my favorite band, in the cage favorite song .
Why not Phil too? Amd Collins had long sonce gone by the time this came out.
The best record openning ever made. Makes me shiver even after 1000 times
Watcher of the Skies
2:52 *Goosebumps*
Thank you Genesis for this song. It is my favorite of the album and this album is my favorite from my whole collection. I have bought this album 4 times, twice on vinyl, wore them down, then came the CD and when my place burnt down I bought it again.
I agree. The tension and release is phenomenal!!
PHIL COLLINS!!! your DRUMMING..un parallelled and indescribably YOU-UNIQUE...and your songs....against all odds...that was then this is now..the sublimity of Rutherford-Banks-Hackett😍🤩
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the exquisite drums on this track..bravo Mr Collins.
phil was 22 here...
My favorite Genesis song off of my favorite Genesis album.
All these years later, this is the one Genesis I can still enjoy from start to finish. Every track is wonderful great production, construction, playing, lyrics with wit and real emotion, both prog and commercial; on this album they achieved the perfect balance. One for the time capsule!
Saw the whole album performed by Steve and his fellow musicians last year at Mainz and it was absolutely amazing! Counts easily among the best concerts i've ever been to.
@@kingcrimson2168 Your best concert’s was with Belew
I saw it in Stuttgart. Definitely outstanding.
Masterpiece
Masterpiece never gets old.
Ohhhhhh ....l dont know why, but ...this group's pieces are dangerously moving! lts like l've known it forever.
Genesis... amor à primeira audição, há quarenta e seis anos atrás, e que perdura...nunca morre!
Eu vi uma entrevista de Paulo Ricardo, q quando ele e Renato Russo estavam voltando do estúdio após gravarem "a cruz e a espada". Voltaram pro apartamento do Renato ouvindo essa música no carro.
@@marleneribeiro3760 que história de merda
Dancing with the MOONLIT Knight! Official Genesis channel doesn’t know the right title?
Pretty shameful, really. A bit late for them to change it now.
Because they're not Genesis anymore but Phil Collins' Band. Genesis ended when Gabriel left
@@danielemaione454 that's horseshit. Give 'Wind and Wuthering", or 'Trick' another listen.
for a second i though i miss remembered, but yeah, thats a shame
@@danielemaione454 jesus christ, its not Collins' fault, Tony litterly admited to being the reason for the change
MERAVIGLIOSI GENESIS
This is really the Genesis what i like!
Spiritual, sensory and rebellious, music of these composers reveals secret impostures, explores serene pleasures, a world of resurfacing dreams !!
Saw them play a good segment of this on their Live 2021 "Last Domino Tour". ....Yes, Phil's vocals were still magical after all these decades and years. Long Live Genesis!
The best song, Genesis forever!!!
these guys with only 23 years is incredible !! have you heard that way of playing
your snare Philip David Charles ????? what a sound !! What did they eat in 1973? Soup???
There were many outstanding bands in the seventies but I truly believe that Genesis had their own unique style and there will never be another band like them. They never fail to leave me in absolute awe of their talent. Definitely my favourite band then and now - always will be!! Thank you Genesis for being part of my musical life!!
I adore Genesis myself but let's not forget Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Yes, Gentle Giant, Van Der Graaf Generator, Jethro Tull, King Crimson etc...Just to name a few......
I love you Genesis! 👏🎼🎶🎸🎹🥁🎙️❤️✨
Le Prog. est vraiment une musique complexe ,
pleine de charmes et de maîtrise . Genre de plans que les grands compositeurs de musique Classique nous ont légués .
detto così è profondamente errato
Every song of Genesis yu listen to is considered as their best the moment you listen to it So enjoy each moment as an unique one
genesis legacy is outstanding
favorite parts 00:53 to 1:15 Tony and Pete making a beautiful piece together. then the ghostly sound from 6:04 to the end. wow wow wow.
F A N T A S T I C A
*_Kudos to the studio producers/engineers of this album for the incredibly clean/clear quality of this recording! It's almost 'Steely Dan quality'. 👍_*
ugh. please don't even compare them.
@@WintersWarsteely dan is an amazing band. The best of jazz rock.
@@carlosjaviermartinezmoncal8960 I respect that. They have a great following for a reason. We like what we like.
I hope they play this on their 2021 tour - one lives in hope....
It's beautiful
This song goes from modern r&b to fuckin metal in 10 seconds. All in the early 70s when neither genre really existed yet. I love this band!!!!!!
This is and will always be my favorite Genesis album, just like 2112 will always be my favorite Rush album!
Selling England is One of the best keyboard albums Ever!!! Drums, Guitar and Bass as well!!
All are musical geniuses but Peter Gabriel was Genisis 1975 and back. How we loved him as kids.
Oh, what a powerful, amazing, intoxicating start of a masterpiece!
i have a neverending , immense love for theyr music, every single album is amazing and wonderfull... but this one in the album of my life!!!!! their genius is absolute and uncomparable..... i'' so gratefull for this Masterpiece and for everything they've done..... my soul is full of joy when i listen to them... thanks so much to all of u guys😭😭😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🎤🎤🎤🎹🎹🎹💕💕💕💕
so awesome!!! I like so really much the Peter Gabriel´s voice and the guitar and bass...So nice!!!!!! what fabulous!! I´ve got goose bumps all over!
I only listened to Genesis later stuff (Invisibile Touch, Jesus He Knows, Land Of Confusion, I Can't Dance...) untill now and this seems a completely different band.
Roc Marciano & Viper git me here, this is so fire 🔥💯
Mi canción favorita de Genesis, este álbum es increíblemente hermoso. Phil es una maquina en la batería
Sono entusiasta di aver riascoltato questo pezzo...ricordo della mia adolescenza, avevo 17 anni.❤👍🏻
There will NEVER be an album like this. In all my travels over the years, without doubt this is the album that has made people worldwide think about what it is to be English. Do we long for an Ealing Comedies England that, perhaps , never was? Whatever, this album makes people think - of whatever generation - and that is no bad thing. Thank you so much for posting this amazing album.
genesis is the best ever. ALL records ALL eras. dont give a fuck what anyone says
Amazing song, just goosebumps
My favorite Genesis Song! Just magical
This album is musical genius. They meshed together so well, and Phil Collins is such a master musician as are everyone else in the band. I wish that they could have set their egos aside and stayed together through the years. One can only imagine what songs that they would have produced in so many years.
Absolutely amazing!!!
Listen to Phil play drums OMG he was fabulous back then
Absolutely!!!!
HE RUINED GENESIS
@@feralkitty9378nah lol
I have seen "the musical box" at least 10 times and they are fucking amazing!!!! I wish I could have seen this era of Genesis.
One of my FAVOURITE songs! I love my (Gabriel) Genesis! ❤
Some very prophetic lyrics
Why the beginning makes me chill and cry? Am I the only one? Then the guitar and drums make me go crazy
