Exactly, which is why I don't think much of Genesis live, with the exception of "The Knife" which has a great guitar solo on the first live album. Beats the studio version by far.


i disagree. i think seconds out is fantastic and almost every song sounds better on that album than it does recorded.

I don't know, you get Gabriel dressing up in all his crazy costumes, as well as his weird monologues - that's got to add something. Videos I've seen of them certainly look cool.

Good Point. I remember seeing Joe jackson in the 80's and he rearranged most of the tunes to good effect.

On ABWH live the opening bass line to Long Distance Runaround is in Squire's absence played on piano by Wakeman. It really works and freshens that track up no end. I also love Bruford's ratatat programmed drum solo later in the same song. In fact what a concert i recently bought the dvd on e bay for US 60 dollars and surprisingly i also recieved a bootleg of the Sydney concert by Yes last year( great show especially HOTS SSOTS AYAI and Awaken). Anyway i digress my question is do people like that wakeman version and should yes look at rearranging tracks for live shows?

 

PS there is Yes and then there is Prog Rock
