Genesis: Follow You Follow Me.


"Follow You Follow Me" is a 1978 single by Genesis. The music was written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford, with lyrics by Rutherford.

Peter Gabriel left the band 3 years before this was released. The success of this song answered the question whether or not the band could survive without him.

I was always a fan of Phil behind the drums, and was sorry to see him go "Out Front". I think Phil missed it too, thats why he started the band Brand X . Great Stuff.

This is such a beautiful song.

Yes It is. BTW you should post Brand X's Nuclear Burn, it's classic jazz rock fusion .

Did I find the right video?

Paul 2 said...

OMG Wow, did you ever. This is way faster then the Lp version. I'm a drummer and I always envy guys with super fast feet, this is in the Tony Williams Steve Gadd, Billy Cobham super league. Don't try this at home!

BTW, in the video you can see 2 drum "kits" Phil had a Premier set and a Gretsch (yay). When on the road the great Bill Bruford and Chester Thompson would join in. The albums Seconds Out and Three Sides Live feature this line up Seconds has these guys with five different kits on stage 2 different for both Phil and Bill and 1 set of Pearl's for Chester who did most of the work.
"Let there be drums".
