| [00:30] | Thank you! Good evening, Baltimore... Pittburgh! Right sorry about Baltimore. Baltimore was last night. See, we're only forty miles away. Anybody here from Baltimore? Anybody from England? Any Canadians? French people? All from Pittsburgh, eh? Oh well. | |||||
| 1.02 | [05:17] | [00:32] | The next, the next song we're gonna play, ahm... You might remember last time we played in this very building in fact, we played you "The lamb lies down on the broadway" and tonight we've taken three pieces from that and we're gonna play a small piece and it's retitled for the purposes of tonight "Lamb casserole". | |||

| [00:49] | Thank you. You alright? ... This is far too embarrassing, far too embarrassing. You're not allowed to clap like that so early on. ... Thank you, that was very warm. | |||||
| 1.05 | [12:07] | [01:03] | The next, the next song is an older tune, even older than that. And it tells of two virgins, one called Romeo and the other called Juliet. And these two virgins are out for a night on the town. So Romeo takes his girlfriend Juliet in his Dad's car and he's thinking to himself, "Where can I take this lady? Where can I take her so I can pluck her virginity out from underneath her? Where can I take her to live out my torrid fantasies and my sexual desires? Where can I take her?" And then he thinks the only place he can take her is the drive-in. So he takes her to the drive-in and he parks right at the back of the park where no-one can see them and he starts taking old Juliet's dress down, zip zip zip by zip. And unbeknown to Romeo we sent our roving eye reporter down to the drive-in. And in the car next-door to them with his binoculars he sent us back a very lurid story about what happened at "The Cinema Show". | |||

| 1.06 | [07:02] | [01:13] | This hat... this hat and this coat belong to Harry and was a criminal. Oh, I got to see a few crooks in the audience tonight. Anyway, Harry lived in Victorian London and tonight he was after a very special safe. And when he found the building he was after he slid in between the guards and found the right room, you know, of all the rooms in the building he found the right one with the safe and started, started to try and open the safe like this, when suddenly he was rumbled by the night watchman and he shot him which aroused the police and the police surrounded the building and took him off to jail, which was very disappointing. And Harry, with his one phone call, he made a phone call to his parents, and his parents came down and they laid all their money out on the table and said, "Get me the best lawyer there is in America!" 'Cause the flew on over, you see, to Victorian London from America. And... anyway, to cut a long story short, before Harry could say "Patty Hearst" he was out of the jail and will spend the next twenty years in the appeal courts. This is Harry's story, and this is called "Robbery, assault and battery". | |||

| 1.07 | [08:34] | [00:47] | [Mike:] Thank you. There once lived a scraggly old wolf, could've lived in Pittsburgh, for that matter. Don't bank on it, though. And he was wandering round one day and he came across a record, this very old scraggly record. So he wipes some dust off and saw that the record was called "Trespass". You've heard of it, huh? So he wipes some more dust off and saw it was by one of those English rock groups that keep coming to America. Mh. And he saw that one of the songs was all about him, One-Eye the scraggly old wolf from Pittsburgh. | |||

| [01:20] | [Phil:] Athangyo, Athangyo. Well, while everyone will want a quick rub-down I'll draw your attention to someone here with us tonight that you don't normally associate with Genesis, that you associate with other groups. And he's here as a guest, from us to yourselves, brought to you at great expense. Oh God we paid him a lot of money.. ahm... not really, no. And he's gonna play for you in all types and manners of percussion, Mr Bill Bruford. ... Bill said that he had a lot of relatives in Pittsburgh. | |||||
| 1.08 | [08:37] | [00:12] | But on with the show, and the next one's from "Selling England by the pound", and it's, it's called "Firth of Fifth". | |||
| [08:18] | Firth of Fifth | No piano intro | ||||
| 2.01 | [07:45] | [00:56] | [Phil:] You've seen him walk on stage, you've seen him play the guitar, but you've never heard him talk - Mr Steve Hackett. [Steve:] Good evening, everybody. The next number we're about to do from the new album, "Trick of the tail", second track on side one for those who know it that well. This one tells of the perils you might encounter on a psychiatrist's couch and is dedicated to all the insomniacs in the audience or those of you that have had recurring nightmares. The lyrics of this are based on a painting by a young lady called Kim Poor, and it features the Tony Banks ... sorry... start again, Maria Callas school of synthesizer playing in Mr Tony Banks. It's called "Entangled". | |||

| 2.03 | [25:38] | [01:59] | [Mike:] Now, I'd like to tell you three things you have to know to play in a group. We'll start with the third thing. ... And the third thing is - you have to know how to tap-dance. Yup. Tap - dance. Tapdance, you might say. Now, on my left here, just about here, this is tap-dancing. This is what it's all about. Now young Mr Collins has studied for years in England... look at him go. That's enough, it will go to his head. Now during the course of this next song (look at those legs, huh? Steady! Steady.) During the course of this next song he may suddenly break out into some of his more exciting gyrations. And if he does, well, I'm sorry. Look at his biceps. - Did you know you're on the radio tonight? [Phil:] WDVE! Let's hear it for everybody out there listening! [Mike:] A big hand for them! [Phil:] Anybody like to say "hello" to their mothers? Yup. [Mike:} You got mothers! [Phil:] Hello, mom! [Mike:] This shows that we're not miming to the record. See. Real live atmosphere. Okay, enough, enough. That brings us to the next song which is called "Supper's ready". | |||
| [22:58] | Supper's ready | |||||
| 2.04 | [05:50] | [05:13] | I know what I like | |||
| [00:37] | Thank you. Well, that's about, that's about rounds it up from us tonight, folks, but we've one more number to play ya, like to thank everybody for coming, buying ticket, queuing outside in the cold. We'd also like to thank all the WDVE listeners out there. Yes, I can hear them cheering. | |||||
| 2.05 | [08:08] | [00:13] | It's our last number tonight. It's, ah, called "Los Endos". | |||
| [06:37] | Los Endos | |||||

[1st announcer:]Genesis came to Pittsburgh, and +whipped up+ an incredible show at the Syria Mosque. Now, I wasn't there, and I'm sure that a lot of you weren't at the show either. And if you hadn't heard it yet, people came back and they said: "Gee, if you didn't see the visuals of this show, you didn't see anything!" But I couldn't agree less, because I heard the show and I thought it was an amazing amazing presentation, and I was very impressed. I'd seen them once before and I knew the music was very strong but I was particularly impressed, this time not being distracted by the visuals, by the level of musicianship. Genesis is, on this tape: Mike Rutherford on 12-string-guitars, bass and bass pedals; Tony Banks on all the keyboard instruments; Phil Collins does some of the drumming but he also does the singing and it's Bill Bruford, formerly of Yes, who comes along and handles most of the drumming chores. Steve Hackett plays guitar and 12-string guitars on this. So, this is Genesis, as broadcast live and in stereo last Tuesday on WDVE, a rebroadcast of the very same show. It runs about two hours, almost on the nose if you need to time it for any reason. So, hope you enjoy it. Sit back. Genesis on WDVE. ~~ [2nd announcer:] WDVE, Pittsburgh. ~~ [3rd announcer:] On WDVE Pittsburg, you've been listening to Genesis as taped lived, WDVE, broadcast last Tuesday live from the Stanley Theatre - Genesis. |
