Genesis-Genesis Live

original

This live album was recorded in February 1973 at two venues in England. The performances are very good all songs sounding better live than on the studio versions.Side one has “Watcher Of The Skies” and “Get ‘Em Out By Friday” from Foxtrot and “The Return Of The Giant Hogweed” from Nursery Cryme. Side two is excellent with “The Musical Box” sounding more intense with more passionate vocals by Gabriel and some of the heaviest guitar by Steve Hackett you will ever hear in a Genesis song. The other song on side two is “The Knife” from their second album Trespass.Another good song with some nice instrumental passages including some flute by Peter Gabriel.”Suppers Ready” was included on some promotional pressings of the album but was kept off the official release.That track was included on the 4 Cd box set Archive 1967-1975 which I used to own but I sold it in 2013 ,not before making a digital copy of it. The set also has a complete live performance of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. I probably bough this in late 73. The cover and record are in fair shape. A little scratchy sounding. No Skips.
