Recording comments

Well, absolutely an A+ an all levels. More of a Gabriel era fan myself. I nonetheless will dub this recording my favourite of all the Genesis live concerts!. Several reasons: Tony still calls Duke his favourite album and I feel as if this is the prime for the post-Gabriel band - not too commercial as yet. The "home town" Lyceum crowd (audible throughout, a definite plus for me with live recordings) charges up the lads, no question. Palpable energy here! The band is free and comfortable with everything in the set. Phil - while perhaps having a pop too many before taking stage on the night - is gloriously aggressive. The double drum playing - especially on Los Endos is as good as you'll hear anywhere. Love the slowed off tempos on Ripples and Crawlers. This one has amazing audio quality and the addition of stories and intros off the video make this a true triumph for Mike (Pool_of Tears), and SAB (EQ). If you are a first time collector, this is a MUST HAVE. Peace! [jrromman]
