"Afterglow" is the closing track from the 1977 Genesis album Wind & Wuthering.
The song was composed by Tony Banks, who described it as a "spontaneous" piece that was written in about the same amount of time as it takes to play it.
Arguably the best-known song from Wind & Wuthering, "Afterglow" became a staple on Genesis tours for over 10 years, from the 1977 Wind & Wuthering Tour until the 1986/7 Invisible Touch Tour [1]
A bass pedal is used to create a drone effect on which much of the song is structured. Live versions of the song appear on the live albums Seconds Out and Three Sides Live.
