Marquee Club, London

Recorded by Colin Dodd and transfered onto cd from his original master tapes. This copy is a direct copy of Colin's cds.

Blows away earlier 1st gen versions such as BURP27 [speedy]

Amazing, clear, punchy; sounds more like a DAT than a walkman tape recording... a must-have. [Gigio67]

One of the best Genesis audience recordings ever. [mdekoning]

Well, an A- because of the exceptional mastering job of an '82 audience recording. However, the show itself is more nostalgic than exceptional in regards to the performance on the night. Phil seems to have a tough time with the "club PA" environment (and the apparent lack of air conditioning). Mike seems lost in Abacab, etc. Even the "Satin Doll" intros of Chester and Daryl fall flat to some extent. And whose idea was it to slot in "Man On the Corner" after "Supper's Ready!" And no “The Knife” for the British faithful, a misstep in my view. So, overall an important gig for the venue, and interesting to hear some of the banter between Phil and various audience members. But not an absolute "classic" gig for the reasons stated above. Peace! [jrromman]

The Highland version was good but you haven't heard anything until you get hold of this one. Easily one of the best audience recordings ever, this version is up there with modern digital audience shows, and the small venue means a great acoustic. The band sound energised and the crowd are having a blast- recommended. [LivingForever]

Everyone that hears this show raves about the crowd electricity, the incredible sound and top-shelf setlist. This is THE definitive version of Supper's ready. A mandatory recording! [pablo]

Mandatory is correct! I put this show on today after not having heard it in awhile. I knew it was great but I had forgotten just how great it is. It is, in my book, the best audience recording of this band, period! The small club atmosphere is electric and the performance is top notch! Get it! It is a must! [duke23]

A truly awesome experience - learning of the gig the night before - schleping down to the marquee at 6:30am to pick up some tickets (they were like little vending machine stubs!) - getting to stand at the centre front stage for one of the most amazing gigs ever - being "inside" the varilites when then turned into Phil during Afterglow was breathtaking ( .... and Tony actually smiled at the end of the gig - or was I just tripping!!). To say it was tightly packed was something of an understatement and just a tad sweaty! The CD doesn't do it justice - despite being one of the best ever! .... with that 3 Hammersmiths and 6 of the best inside a week it took me an age to learn to stop floating!! [CaptainRansid]

1st generation from master tapes

There is small jump on disc 1 track 6,it is on all copies. Confirmed with Mark Bataitis. [NeilC]

Yes, there is that slight cravat (jump) during Supper, at the 'choir' section. I believe this is attributed to the recording device being jiggled, at the time the gig was being captured. [MB]

A big improvement on the Highland release - it sounds good without losing any of the small club atmosphere. [egpx]

I Wonder why Who Dunnit wasnt Played. Even the Show after Marquee has got Who Dunnit. Does someone know why it wasnt played? [chinwildchicken]
