[This album is entirely soundboard recordings from Gabriel Era- Genesis shows, but owing either to the early 70s technology or lack of maintenance, they are not in pristine condition [unfavorably compare with ELP's recent A Time And A Place]. It is a little better and a lot less crowd-mic heavy than THE WORD IS LIVE by Yes, which can give you a headache owing to the far-away sound of the band. This is a lot closer, quite dynamic actually and with noticeable stereo mix, better edited, but still low-quality and bootlegish compared to other Genesis live releases, which are usually dynamite. The strengths of the album are cheap price, rare material and length (almost two hours)] -comment below.

To be honest, I have no interest in low quality live old Genesis recordings.  If it were DVD video, maybe.

I may well get this owing to the rarer stuff.

I wish that they would have gone with an older looking Genesis logo considering the material on this. For the price it might be worth looking into.

Thanks for the update. It is nice to own Twilight Alehouse. Does anyone know why Twilight was never used on a studio album because its a fantastic song.  The album is worth buying simply for the conclusion of Supper's Ready which is absolutely amazing.  Something about the different key from the original makes it more emotional for me.
