Steve Hackett - Dance On A Volcano / Los Endos

DISCLAIMER: No copyright infringement intended. This video is for entertainment and educational purposes only. The rights to the song and video belong to the band & the music company. For order : ************** “To ’dance on a volcano’ is to be blissfully ignorant of something bad about to happen. It was used as a phrase to describe U.S. and European upper classes right before the great depression (See, for instance, The Devil’s Decade, by Claud Cockburn).“ LOS ENDOS The song was originally a self-contained, completely original jazz-fusion piece written by Phil Collins (who gets the major writing credit for the final version). Collins was just getting into Brand X at the time of A Trick Of The Tail, and was bringing the type of music they played back into Genesis. The themes from the other songs on A Trick Of The Tail were then added in. (The outtakes album Trick Of The Tail Outtakes has a rehearsal performance of Los Endos proper before the other bits were added in.) The part at the beginning you hear which isn’t part of the jazz-fusion song and also isn’t a theme from any of the other songs on the album is from It’s Yourself, which was a b-side. At the end of Los Endos, there are two lines sung that are mixed into the background and difficult tohear. They are the final words in Supper’s Ready. “There’s an angel standing in the sun“ “Free to get back home“ These words were a farewell to Peter Gabriel. Compare the motif of getting home to the song Solsbury Hill, which was Peter Gabriel’s song about leaving Genesis.
