“Supper’s Ready” is the longest song by british progressive rock band Genesis, a 23-minute -long Suite. The track features clear division between its seven parts, namely: Lover’s Leap, The Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man, Ikhnaton and Itsacon and their Band of Merry Men, How Dare I Be so Beautiful?, Willow’s Farm, Apocalypse in 9/8 and As Sure as Eggs is Eggs.
The song was first released in the album Foxtrot, from 1972. At that time, the band was already at the line-up that would be considered the classical Peter Gabriel-era Genesis: Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Steve Hackett, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford.
Supper’s Ready is also often cited as an example of Gabriel’s showmanship: during the live versions of the song, he would use four different costumes througout it: a crown of thorns during Guaranteed Eternal Sanctuary Man, the famous (and sometimes infamous) Flower costume during Willow’s Farm, the exotic Magog costume (consisting of a long overcoat and a mask that reminds a red box; it’s featured in the cover of Genesis’ Live album) and the white costume used in As Sure as Eggs is Eggs.

This is amazing, an album within an album practically. Lover's Leap, Willow Farm and Apocalypse in 9/8 are my favourites, but Ikhnaton and and Itsacon and the closing Eggs suite is outstanding, too

As for the talk going on bellow, I had heard that Peter and the other band members got inspired to write this song when Peter's wife had apparently become possessed one time when they were at his house. His wife had no memory of when she began to act strangely. I also remember that the band said that when they play this song, they feel that they are playing for their lives. It appears this song has literally got a magical quality to it, which is what I feel every time I play it, and that is why nothing will ever be better than it.

Greatest song of all time for me. When I first heard it, I knew nothing of prog, but after listerning to it for the first time I knew I had found musical perfection. I began looking at other prog bands and have never looked back since. So far in my searching, nothing has proven to be better than this song, though The Gates Of Delirium by Yes does come close.

@cphil-i had heard that too, it was when he was living in Bath. near solisbury hill. i think that location was good for his songwriting, it's an amazing and spiritual place for a lot of people, a lot of faiths through the years.... this is a wonderfully fantastic prog rock anthem. i prefer the live version but wish it was peter singing instead of phil.

Absolute brilliant piece of prog. Peter Gabriel is and will always be a master. I dont know if it is true, but I heard a story that the first part in Suppers Ready where Gabriel sang of 3 men walking across the lawn is about an incident at his house where his wide actually saw 3 men walk across their lawn - from nowhere and just disappeared.
