Wow.
Heavy song.
LOL.
That's a great music video. Thanks for posting the link.
But I'd say Clapton did a bit more than have a cameo. His screaming guitar makes the song IMHO.(But, 'Clapton is god') . And If I'm not wrong Dusty Hill from ZZ Top is in the background on Bass.
and I love the last line from the Producer's Assn't: "Eric gave a week's notice." LOL
Thanks for the correction.

Me too CL.
Enjoy your retirement 'Phil'.
Your friend,
Eric Clapton

Towards the end of his career, Phil got too "middle-of-the-road" and politically correct for my tastes but during that 1976-85 period, whether solo or with Genesis, he was good. Very good.
"Easy Lover" was one of the first songs I remember hearing on the radio after my discharge from the Marine Corps in 1985 and it always brings back great memories of freedom, being young and having my whole life still in front of me.
Re: “In The Air Tonight”, I’ll always recall Stewie’s version in the FG’s parody of “Poltergeist”

btw, my buddy, Steve Hoffman, is re-mastering the album - should be sonically amazing!
Yep, “Throwing” is a deeply insightful song of the pain of a relationship ending that was “meant to be”. I lost my wife (literally, the-girl-next-door) to breast cancer at 28 - truly a love that meant to be and probably why I connect to that song so strongly.
On the link above with the Lara Fabian duet, her singing the last verse is filled with so much emotion and how she holds the word “after” is truly goosebump time for me.

I’m surprised more musicians don’t have problems with their hearing.
I listened to my cousin do some drumming once, it was too loud for me to stand and I quickly booked, my ear felt funny for a couple days afterwards.
Division Bell was at Joe Robbie...first show of the tour...they had a blimp flying around South Florida the entire week of the show. Epic rain storm during opening night.
“Heat” is definitely in my Top Ten list. One of the coolest movies ever and when Val Kilmer still cared about his craft.”
No more steaks in the freezer.
This man will be 60 this year and doing this near the end of a 2.5 hour show...

Mine was Momentary Lapse... ‘87, I think. That’s pretty cool, both shows in the driving rain.
So what are you talking about?
The world is getting stranger and stranger, but I’m not.
Phil looks like our nerdy programmers in IT.
My Top Ten:
1. Eleventh Earl of Mar
2. Ripples
3. Cinema Show (From ‘Seconds Out’)
4. Duke’s Travels/Duke’s End
5. Blood on The Rooftops
6. More Fool Me
7. Lillywhite Lilith (co-vocals with Pete)
8. Inside And Out (not to be confused with Inside Out)
9. The Roof is Leaking (from Face Value)
10. The Lady Lies
