I’ve had this plan for a long time and America I’d forgotten how to plan those big places and I’d forgotten all about America generally and America had forgotten all about me and on y’all want us to make a record feels good to me subsequently, it feels good to me and so you need some sort of strategic planning for things like that and Genesis was very suitable at the time.
Marc Allan: How did you like that Genesis tour?īill Bruford: It was a strategic bit of work for me really it got me to America to keep the interest up in anything I might want to do in the future maybe this. It’s an extraordinary kind of ritual, it’s an amazing feeling of power but a little empty. It’s almost no reaction, no visible reaction from anybody to you’re playing like in a club you can see people reacting in those places none of that happens at all. I know you don’t feel any pressure at all because the sound system is so enormous and the whole shemozzle was such an isolated and insulated kind of affair. It’s incredibly intimate and it’s amazingly easy to play in front of 17,000 black pallet faces. Marc Allan: What kind of problems did you have that are erased now?īill Bruford: A group tend to fly on automatic pilot very easily at that level. Although there’s another whole level of problems that occur past two or 3000 seats right now we can just play the music and know it it’d be fairly intimate. Listen, I’m one of these be stable kind of characters who doesn’t mind I like to be able to play in Madison Square Garden and not that I ever had actually a hazing to it and clubs. Marc Allan: Well, I was gonna ask you how do you feel about that? You’ve obviously made a name for yourself.īill Bruford: The whole advantage of making a name for yourself is that we get to come to America with slightly more esoteric music and the whole thing is a viable proposition which is really good it doesn’t bother me at all. īill Bruford: Well yes that not the only problem. Marc Allan: You’ve been in some big bands some of the most popular bands, especially “Yes” and on such a huge level where you were playing any major halls up across the country for the years and now here you are and I guess you’re staying at less of the hotels than perhaps you were. Marc Allan: And are you gonna add vocals eventually?īill Bruford: I dunno, that rather depends whether we can think about anything to sing about which is quite probable Dave and I both love it ’cause there’s no inbuilt prejudice against vocals either it’s just that this particular album didn’t have any vocals.īill Bruford: No, I can’t, I’m not a recorded singer so I don’t know how my recording voice is like. Am I getting played on any commercial stations?īill Bruford: Not on any commercial station?īill Bruford: No, well, the reason for that largely is ’cause there’s no singing on the record. Marc Allan: How do you think you’re gonna have to change your music to “It would be lovely one day if I didn’t have to say anything and people just associated me with the music.”īill Bruford: Well, I don’t know, I mean, I’m not getting played on any commercial stations yet.
