Talk:Supper's Ready

message: There is no book of "Revelations" in the Bible.  It is the book of "Revelation".

message: This not actually being true ("Old Medley", anyone?) I took it out, because adding "until 1982" or "frequently" to it seemed to only water it down to an unacceptable degree. Anazgnos 23:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Correct. Apocalype to the end was used in one of the later medleys (1987 in the US, IIRC) and, on the Calling All Stations tour, Lover's Leap was played as part of the "acoustic set". MarkRae (talk) 21:40, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: "and on stage the band always performed the complete piece in its entirety"

message: I'm not entirely sure what is going on here: is it "Willow Farm (an unrelated interlude" or "Willow Farm (and unrelated interlude)"?  The former makes much more sense, but 2 editors appear to disagree.  After pulling out both my record and first remaster, I do not even see this parenthetical portion at all.  Is this only included as the portion after Willow Farm is a bit out of place with the rest of the song?  If so, I believe that this should not be mentioned in the section headline, but should instead be further described within the Willow Farm section so-as not to break the titling of the article sections as it compares with the tracklist on the album itself. Any other thoughts? --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 16:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd have to agree with Bossi. Although putting the thing in brackets serves nicely to clear up any possible confusion, at the end of the day it's just nit-picking to include it. Without it, the mirroring of the song's component pieces as listed on the album cover in the page's headings is maintained, and just looks a lot better. I'd vote for deleting the bugger, but I'll leave that to someone else. Pcgneurotic 19:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Alrighty: barring any arguments against, I have removed the part and incorporated into the article text. Feel free to discuss if anyone has any significant issue with this. --Bossi (talk ;; contribs) 02:36, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Willow Farm

message: I contributed a little tidbit that Peter Gabriel said about "Supper's Ready" in a 1986 radio interview on Rockline, when he said "Supper's Ready is about a journey through several different scenes from the Bible....I'll leave it at that." It has since been deleted. Why? I NAMED A SOURCE. I have the audio tape of this radio interview at home! Why was it deleted?AL9000 18:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Foxtrot72.jpg

message: I have read both those quotes about Jill and the inspiration for Supper's Ready before.  I was wondering if Peter has spoken any more about these incidents in more recent years.  Of course, it would seem at first glance to be just another drug-induced incident by a '70s rock star but Gabriel has adamantly denied ever trying drugs more than once (related in the Spencer Bright biography - he was walking across a field under the influence and ultimately fell into a ditch...)  I would just be curious to learn if Peter has reflected anymore on the incidents and if he thinks there is a "rational" explanation for what he experienced.  Cheers.  210.50.56.100 (talk) 10:49, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: He also, in telling the story of Jill's experience, specifically stated that "we weren't drinking or drugging".  He clearly was frightened by it at the time.  But I don't know of him mentioning it since then.  (He and Jill got divorced in the 1980s and maybe he talks about her less today.) — Lawrence King (talk) 19:24, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:   I'd like to know more about that too.  What does Peter say about it in the Reissues Interview for the Foxtrot Remaster SACD/DVD?  He must surely talk about it...  209.132.188.20 (talk) 05:25, 11 December 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  children of..? 

message: I've just trimmed out a large amount of what I can only describe as unsourced fancruft, plus the Rainbow '73 story, nice as it is, is actually a copyright violation (although Gabriel might be the sort of person to take an interest in relatively esoteric things like CC-BY-SA, that's not the case here). As you might have gathered, having got several articles to GA, I'm a bit of a Genesis fan, but what we have here is just ridiculous. 
Bowler & Dray's biography, although 25 years old, is a pretty definitive account of the group, which more recent sources don't add too much more, and it doesn't devote that much space to the song outside of its basic structure, critical reception, and becoming a millstone round the band's neck. This needs sorting out, or at the extreme case, redirecting to Foxtrot (album). Paging regular Genesis editors ,  and . Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 23:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
