Musical Brick article: In 1976 both drummers were working together in Brand X; Collins on drums, Bruford on percussion. Genesis had auditioned many singers, but no one stood out. Bruford vaguely remembers saying, “Why don’t you stand up front and sing, and I’ll cover for you on the drums? Then, you know it won’t fall apart.” He offered to do it for a bit until they got comfortable and found someone else. He felt no deep affinity to the band’s music. “I was just concerned with doing a good job on drums as a kind of ‘hired gun'”. He has been quoted as saying, “I behaved badly, sniped critically and impotently from the sidelines”, for which he subsequently apologized.

In the book Genesis: Chapter and Verse (2007), it is interesting to note some comments made by Bill Bruford about Genesis.

His comments on the early days of Genesis: I think everybody in Yes and King Crimson thought that Genesis would never make it because they sounded like a combination of the two groups. We thought they might be too late — we’d been there and done it. We saw them along the lines of ‘Genesis are quite fun, but they’ve got a guitarist who sits down like Robert Fripp and a drummer who plays a bit like Bill; the Americans have already had that’. . .

Bruford also comments on the overall atmosphere: I like to wing it a bit on stage, but Genesis was very, very precise. I’m much more accustomed to making it up as I’m going along. . . I’d learned the tunes from the albums, and if it felt a little different from what Phil would have done, people would look at me and say, ‘Hey, Bill, could you make it sound a bit more like the record?’. . . [N]ot being much of the session type, I didn’t do terribly well at just delivering the parts. In fact, what finally drove me out of rock n’ roll was the repetition. That’s what had separated me from Yes. Why I had found King Crimson so attractive was because they were way more open: ‘Surprise us, go ahead, let’s improvise, terrific.’. . . (p. 198).

The mood in Genesis was such a contrast to the chaos of Yes, where nobody could agree what day of the week it was . . . How we in Yes ever got anything done, I still don’t know (p. 199).

Yahoo News update March 27, 2022: Music legend Phil Collins held his last concert ever amid his ongoing health issues.

Collins was joined by Genesis bandmates Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks for their last show ever at London's 02 Saturday evening. Collins, 71, performed the show sitting down and quipped to the crowd he will now need to find a real job, the Daily Mail reported.

The band reunited for The Last Domino? Tour this year after postponing due to the coronavirus. The tour came after a 14-year live performance hiatus.

I will always remember Phil Collins like this in 1976

[bradbray]

one of the great prog bands of all time

[pierremilleret]

Bruford ... definitely a great master 🙂
And Steve H. : A major craftsman of the sound of Genesis 👍

[discipline-myhi]

huge KC fan and this ranks up there with one of my favorite live performances I've ever seen. Phil Collins really was something at the front - and, as someone who loves Gabriel the musician and hates Gabriel the performer, a welcome breath of fresh air.

[bmjx]

These great musicians have aimost forgotten by most unknowledge music people listening rubbish. Thanks for uploading. Also i want to refer Tony Banks a shy goliath of music.

[jeffm]

First show i had seen 2 full on drummers go at it and it was wonderful. My bones were vibrating.

[jefffree]

Nice! Post Gabriel, but still recognizable as the great, original incarnation.
This tour was the last time I saw them, before they completely devolved and the Phil Collins show took over the music world.
Bruford is a brilliant addition.
Performance and Sound are excellent.

[MikeGervasi]

Phil stepped right into the lead role effortlessly. His stage acting experience really helped. They didn't miss a beat after Peter left which would have crushed other bands.

[ikkenhisatsu]

What a great show - even Bruford was smiling! I missed this tour by one year - Grrr!!!

[seekingwisdom]

During those years, I had no clue Bruford played with Genesis. I was such a devoted fan of Yes with Bruford, I started buying King Crimson’s new albums with Bruford. I was aware of Genesis, and owned the album with “The Lamb Lays Down on Broadway” that I consider a masterpiece. 13:18

[MarcAndreLacas]

This is so great.

Bruford - Collins on drums in 1976 is like having Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich sharing the same stage in 1956.

[cattafish]

i was at this gig near the front, looking up at Steve Hackett. It's no surprise bands recorded their live shows here; it was one of the best venues in the world for atmosphere and that night both the audience and the band lived up to the occasion. I'll never forget how long it took to come down from the high of a perfect night.
As a band, Genesis rediscovered a cohesion on this tour they'd been missing perhaps since the
Foxtrot era; and their survival depended on it. Their new energy and directness helped to dispel some doubts about some of the new material. But fortunately, enough of the mystery and magic had survived in the instrumental side of things to make up for anything lacking in the lyrics.

[billdejong]

Bill Bruford - what a drummer - would have been a perfect fit for Genesis long term - not taking anything away from Chester, as he has been brilliant also

[megasoid]

The faces in the audience says it all. They are in the presence of greatness.

[damirfenrich]

Brufords great drumming, great music, camera...master piece!

[cristianrodrigomedinacarra]

Absolutely the Best of all, pure magic, I miss Genesis. From Chile Cristian.

[averyassur]

This is the best Genesis band lineup! A Trick of the Tail is a masterpiece 😀

[RayyMusik]

Probably the very best version of the Cinema Show solo I‘ve ever heard, thanks to those two geniuses on the drums.
And those organ chords at 11:39 … and Entangled … :)))

[SDsailor]

Two machines in the drumming department are Bill Bruford and Phil Collins!

[ricardomotta]

We here in Brazil, love Peter and Phil. Believe me! It makes perfect sense to us.
