Hmmm - definitely one to keep an eye on; now, are we just looking at the (for want of a better title) "classic" days, or right up to the less classic days...?

[edit]

Also, in keeping with previous remastered releases, are we to see some DVD goodies - is there a full length film out there of the 'Seconds Out' tour?

One can only hope it comes in two volumes, say 1970 - 1980 and 1980 onwards, as most of their post 1980 output would struggle to be termed prog if by a new or different band, which let's face it, is what Genesis became once Mr Collins decided to make some nice pop tunes (and loadsa money)!!

After standing in the pouring rain and mud at Milton Keynes in October 1982 to see the reunion gig in support of WOMAD, I for one would love to have an official release of this. Musically it wasn't brilliant, but as a piece of musical history and sheer nostalgia it was magic.

I believe that Gabriel still resists this - shame really.

I thought it would have surfaced already if there was.

No - there are only some God awful bootlegs, which should be avoided at all costs. But I do understand that the original mix is still in the hands of the band. Gabriel simply did not want it released because of its musical inferiority, in his eyes.

If this is the case, and I've only heard it on the grapevine, I would love to see it released. I can't see the point of simply remastering stuff we've already got - let's have something brand new, and, in the context of the band, massively important. After all, they did it with the recording of The Lamb live on the first box set.

No SACD's ? So who not make this cd's hybrid ? Are you sure this is not only for the US where they also do not contain the SACD's ?

They should split the thing into Gabriel & Collins eras. I won't be buying it in its suggested format, as I have no desire to listen to hours worth of the 80s pop band "Genesis", plus one has to remeber in these hard times that it will probably cost far too much.

Prepare for disappointment...

Genesis Rounds Out Reissues With Live Box Set

When Genesis released "Genesis: 1970-1975," its third boxed set of studio albums, last fall, keyboardist Tony Banks told Billboard.com that "the next logical thing to do would be something with the live albums. We have a few of those, and we have quite a bit of stuff in the vaults that could be added to flesh things out a bit."

That will happen on Sept. 29, when Rhino releases "Genesis Live 1973-2007," a 10-disc set featuring five of the group's six official live albums -- it will include a spot for last year's "Live Over Europe" album from the 2007 reunion tour -- along with a wealth of unreleased material. Included in the latter will be "Live at the Rainbow 1973," an oft-bootlegged nine-song collection (portions of which have been previously released) recorded during October of that year in London after the release of "Selling England By the Pound."

The 1973 release "Genesis Live" will be bolstered by five tracks from "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" tour recorded in January of 1975 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. "Seconds Out" from 1977 will remain intact, while the version of 1982's "Three Sides Live" in the box will feature the live tracks from the U.K. edition of the album -- "One For the Vine," "Fountain of Salmacis" and a medley of "It" and "Watcher of the Skies" -- rather than the studio songs that were part of the U.S. package. The box also reconciles the two versions of "The Way We Walk," which had been sub-titled  "The Shorts" (1992) and "The Long" (1993), and combines them in the original concert sequence.

Genesis members Banks and Rutherford rode herd on the remixing of the albums with Nick Davis. "Genesis Live," "Seconds Out" and "Live At The Rainbow 1973" all feature 5.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound versions.
 
Delving into the backlog of live recordings may also hasten the release of individual shows via Genesis' web site, something the group promised when it launched the portal several years ago. "We still talk about that," Banks acknowledged. "We will get to it. I don't know when, but I promise you we'll do it. We've pulled tapes from all sorts of areas, and we've got board mixes from quite an early era, so that will be quite fun for some people." Rutherford added that, "There's some quite nice things there, I think. It just requires energies from someone to pull it all together and put it all out in a way that makes some sort of sense."

The full track listing for "Genesis Live 1973-2007" is:

No Supper's Ready for Genesis Live and no LLDoB from Archive 67-75 made it disappointing for me. But at least they're leaving off the recent live album.

On the plus side, I don't need to upgrade my Genesis Live, and I figure Archive 67-75 and the current Seconds Out will become very cheap on eBay. And maybe they'll release the Rainbow show independently in the future.

No mention of the Rainbow gigs @ January 1977, Wind and Wuthering tour.

Perhaps it was because the Mellotron was 'playing-up' because of the cold weather...I should know,I was there every night and if I remember correctly,only on one night did the Mellotron not 'play-up'.

It (the Mellotron) sounded like a drunkard 'singing' underwater.

I would also like to hear the complete 1976 Hammersmith Odeon 'AToTT' material. Bruford was sensational on that tour.
