The "Classic Five" caught here at top form!

The ratings for the album would be much higher, except that the album is quite brief (five songs) yet these songs sound better here on "Genesis Live" than they their studio counterparts. During this part of the "Foxtrot" tour, Genesis had abandoned live staples "The Fountain of Salamacis", "Can Utilities and The Coast-Liners" and "Twilight Alehouse" but the band's signature song "Supper's Ready" was sadly omitted from the album's original release despite the album cover featuring a live photo shot of Peter Gabriel in his "Magog" costume during the ending of the "Apocolypse 9/8" section of "Supper's Ready". The band is particularly tight in their performance here, but the addition of Steve Hackett on guitars and Phil Collins on drums really elevated Genesis to a "elite" band in Europe, and this tour and album proved it. The version of "The Musical Box" recorded here is worth the price of this purchase alone.

a gtreat piece of luck

Originally this album was not supposed to be released in America for whatever reason (kind of irrelevent 35 years on), but somehow copies made it to our shores and stores luckily. I hadn't even heard any Genesis at that point but I became an instant fan once I put this on my turntable. I still think it should have been a double album with "Supper's Ready" included. However, this is the best Genesis lineup playing some of their greatest songs live.

Thank you
