identical.

- The Lamb Descends On Waterbury
Label - Oxygen OXY 089-090

01-Mar-75 Palais Des Sports, Dijon

16-Jun-76 Rotterdam 15-Jun-76 Cambrai There are at least two legitimate versions of the 16th June show in circulation, however the real venue is Den Haag, not Rotterdam. The fake Rotterdam show can be recognised by Phil speaking in French. The real 16th show can be recognised by Phil saying that he had trouble speaking French the night before.
77 "I Know What I Like" Paris     Taken from Seconds Out!
03-Apr-78 Bloomington 09-Apr-78 Bloomington GENESIS - DEEP IN THE MOTHERLODE (2CD)
label: AYANAMI
LIVE AT UNIVERSITY ASSEMBLEY HALL, BLOOMINGTON, INDIANA 4/09/1978
11-Apr-80 Gaumont Theatre, Southampton 10-Apr-80 Gaumont Theatre, Southampton It is just a slightly cleaner version of the Gaumout Theatre show from the previous night, which is a common recording.
04-May-80 Drury Lane 07-May-80 Lyceum

Genesis in Concert LP was often mistaken for the Drury Lane show due to an incorrect announcement made at the beginning of the broadcast.

Words from Nicky Horne when asked about the confusion - "I'm afraid that my memory of the events is  very hazy, and I spoke to Trevor White who is now the Planet Rock programme director, but who was also my producer at Capital, and who remembers being in the recording truck at Drury  Lane and remembers the night, he also remembers that there was some kind of "muck up" although they were not quite the words he used!, but he can't recall what specifically happened. My memory may be playing tricks with me, but I  do seem to recall a dispute between Capital and Hit and Run around the recording relating to exclusivity"

19-Aug-82 Columbia 06-Aug-82 Los Angeles The person who has been tampering with this show has deliberately cut out Los Angeles out of Phils goodevening speech, but you can still hear him say "Goodevening Los....". The rest of his speech is exactly the same as on Aug 6th 1982. Including people sitting on the grass, the threatening rain and bthe place never been finished.
1981 Live USA - Label: Imtrat 920.031 1983 - This is most probably from 1983, Because it features Mama, Illegal Alien and
some other songs that are not from 1981
1981 Three Nights In Philly - USA 27-Nov-83 Philadelphia Also, Behind The Lines and No Reply At All are from the Nassau gig of 29-Nov-81 which might explain where the fake date of 1981 comes from.
16-Dec-81 Home By The Sea / No Replay At All - Philadelphia 27-Nov-83 Philadelphia Repackaged set identical to Three Nights In Philly (see above)
06-Jun-92 "Live at the Skydome"
Toronto (Canada)
09-May-92 Astrodome, Houston The bootleggers tried to be smart to cut a part of the "Turn it on again"-talk where Phil says "Astrodo-me". When they were really smart, they should have omitted "Mama" and "Dreaming while you sleep", used fade in fade out and changed the song order a bit. The red Canadian flag on the front cover makes it clear
1992 Live USA - Label: Imtrat 920.033 - - A compilation of tracks probably from LA Forum 86 and Knebworth 92
01-Jul-92 Stade Gerland, Lyon
30-Jun-92 Stade Gerland, Lyon The 01-Jul-92 show was cancelled, so it must be from the previous night.
05-Jul-92 Olympiastadion, Munich
17-Jul-92
Olympiastadion, Munich The show on the 5th was postponed
20-Jul-92 "Espace Grammont, Montpellier"
Basel, Switzerland
02-Aug-92 Knebworth  
26-Jul-92 "But You Can Dance"
Montpellier (France)
02-Aug-92 Knebworth  
- 18 Million Dollars To Dance - USA
02-Aug-92 Knebworth The bootleggers have tried to edit out the air horn at the beginning of Land Of Confusion, pretty unsuccesfully
         
28-Nov-82 Phil Collins - From Phil With Love - Hammersmith Odeon 20-Feb-83 Washington
