Genesis - Six of the Best Reunion Concert - Turn It On Again -1982 Video

Six of the Best was the name chosen for the reunion concert of the rock band Genesis with former founding member Peter Gabriel which took place on a wet October 2, 1982 at National Bowl, in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England. The show was introduced by Jonathan King.

Support bands for the concert were John Martyn, The Blues Band and Talk Talk.

Officially no recording of this concert has ever been released but several audience recordings were gathered together during 2007 by Tom of TM Productions and digitally remastered. In early 2008 a rare soundboard of the rehearsals surfaced and, along with the concert, comprised a fan created album released on The Pirate Bay on 27 May 2008.
Featuring:
Phil Collins - vocals
Tony Banks - keyboards
Peter Gabriel - drums
Daryl Stuermer - guitars and bass guitars
Mike Rutherford - guitars and bass guitars
Chester Thompson - drums

The day? would have ...
The day? would have been perfect had Fish decided to drag his sorry ass there. Genesis without Fish? Simple unthinkable.

I clearly ...
I clearly distinguish Peter's voice vs. Phill's. Peter rules ?

I still have the ...
I still have the Abacab album signed by all? the band including Peter and Steve. Unfortunately a stupid driver thought he'd play a prank and signed it too!

I had driven Phil ...
I had driven Phil Collins to this gig and was priviliged to stand in the wings to watch. It was an evening show and it had rained incessantly all day and continued to rain throughout the evening. I remember looking out at? the thousands with their candle and lighter flames flickering who had come from all over the world to see this special one-off gig, with those standing closest the stage probably upto their ankles in water when Peter Gabriel came on stage and said "thank god it's not raining"!

@fazg2: it was a ...
@fazg2: it was a benefit for WOMAD, Gabriel's arts and music festival that had run into some financial? trouble after the first shows in 1982. Genesis weren't part of it, and weren't financially liable, but they said they'd help out by playing this gig. It was the last time the 'classic' 5-piece line-up played together, joined by Daryl Steurmer and Chester Thomson. There's a bootleg out there somewhere with all the songs, and some of Gabriel's between-song stories.

i bet they hade a ...
i bet they hade a lot of drinks that night!?

yeh...i was there.. ...
yeh...i was there..a lovely moment...but there was a lack of rehersal and a sense of peter gabriel being there as a guest and not a past member..a shame...nice to see steve hackett at the end...after all it was after he? left it all went very `Phil Collins band`...sad

5:38 onwards nice ...
5:38 onwards nice thing with the double bass drum pedal... And everything on the drums from then? on is VERY nice... Peter Gabriel can play! f**k yeah.

This was the only ...
This was the only post-Gabriel era song played that day. It rained for the majority of the day but was well worth it. If you can find one anywhere,? there's a triple album bootleg on vinyl called "Gabacabriel". It's not off the soundboard but is OK.

Gad I hate this? ...
Gad I hate this? song.

Took my 6' ...
Took my 6' girlfriend Jackie? there. Watched the show in the pouring rain, mud etc. Went back to my place but we were so cold I'm sure our not bath had NO cold water in it. Happy memories!

shame that this show wasn't officially released? in any form...

@fazg2 For the most ...
@fazg2 For the most part.? Steve Hackett only joined them for a couple songs- the rest was the augmented 3-man lineup and Peter.

so they reunited the original 5? for this concert...wow hat mus have been great...can someone explin this to me???????????????????????????

@felsner1 Yes, for ...
@felsner1 Yes, for fun Peter played on Phil's kit. Phil said the odd meter (that dosen't sound like an odd? meter) threw him off a bit.

They also played ...
They also played Fly on the Wildshield, a COmplete Musical Box and alot other songs from the Peter Gabriel Era... With Daryl Stuermer? !!! Such rare but still very great i like it :)

Me and? my brother ...
Me and? my brother hitche hiked down from east lancs .this was the first live gig i ever saw anyone perform and it blew me away ,we got absolutely drenched and actually walked back up the motorway to the nearest service station were we proceded to burn out the hand dryers in the bogs trying to get dry ,great days

I was there, ...
I was there, brilliant concert, nobody cared about the rain or the mud, went in a? mates Ford Escort campervan,and we got a flat tyre, changed it in the middle of the road in the pouring rain - UNFORGETABLE

@felsner1 you? are ...
@felsner1 you? are correct.

I was there - as I ...
I was there - as I remember it was wet - very muddy - and worth every minute of the 3 hrs it took to get out of the car? park at the end and getting home so late I had been locked out!

Man, I really wish ...
Man, I really wish there was footage of this show...?

But Pete's ...
But Pete's drumming? together with Chester, right? Sounds like there are two kits going on there...

@TheSteadmani ...
@TheSteadmani Perhaps at 5:33? The style of the drums does seem? to change.

@seanlasheep: ...
@seanlasheep: GREAT SONG,but such a tease... i mean, where is the rest of this show? I had a copy of this show on disc, released in '95, I think... Horrible sound? on it, but pretty sweet bootleg album, nonetheless!! The thing I remember most about that album was the guy, (heard at bout 6:52 secondson this recording,) going around shouting "The Knife" (which they subsequently played as an encore with Hackett) the entire show!! Anyhow, POST MORE OF THIS CONCERT, PLEASE!! Thanx...

Talk? Talk sucked ...
Talk? Talk sucked m8. I agree the cheer for Hackett was fantastic. We had recently seen him live at the Cliffs Pavillion in Southend. The day was very wet but no-one cared. Peter coming out in a coffin was hilarious. Still one of the greatest moments of my live gig memories. The Blues Band were much better than Talk Talk

When hackett came ...
When hackett came on it was to the biggest cheer that I? have ever heared at a gig. As for Talk Talk I think that they did a perfect set and i think that it was a shame that they were treated so shabbily I hope that rock audiences are a bit more sophisticated these days
