"After the Ordeal" is an instrumental by Genesis from the "Selling England by the Pound" album, written mainly by Steve Hackett. The first half is an up-tempo classical guitar piece with a majestic piano backing; the second half is a slower piece performed on electric guitar. Although Genesis never performed the song live, Hackett plays it on his acoustic trio tours as part of a medley in between Apocalypse in 9/8 (from "Supper's Ready") and "Hairless Heart."

According to Tony Banks, both he and Peter Gabriel were against the inclusion of this song on "Selling England", and they had many arguments with Hackett about this issue. Although Hackett won out in this case, the band's ongoing disregard for his compositions would eventually lead him to quit the band four years later.
