Odd that you exclude 'Live at Hammersmith" for being budget priced but include "Genesis Live". By that logic "Three Sides Live" should be Genesis's 2nd. ------------- What? |

| In addition, 'Live at Hammersmith' was not contemporaneous and not put out by the band's label - thus differing considerably from 'Genesis Live' |

Accepted, but it was released before 'A Little Light Music' AFAIK. ------------- What? |

Seconds Out defies the Second Live Syndrome. Delicate Sound of Thunder is a close ... er ... second. -------------

No worries, I didn't vote for them anyway, and wouldn't have voted for Three Sides either. ------------- What? |

USA, Seconds Out and the ELP. USA was nowhere near as awkward as the first Crim live album, Earthbound. The PF was interesting s PF had grown into such a vocally oriented band (e.g On The Turning Away. Plus you get DG doing his guitar solo fest unlike the more spacey era Ummagumma. Ironically perhaps it's his lyric-less vocal on Saucer which proved to highlight a stunning version of the piece. Tull's was ok but I've not played it in ages. Like most albums really. The only one I found slightly appalling was Yesshows. Atlantic released it before Squire had finished editing it. The least they could have done was make sure it sounded ok. There are plenty of era relative bootlegs that are so much better. Good for Roger Dean's art of course. |

| I happen to like them all, as odd as it might be, so it's a hard choice for me. I'll vote for Tull this time, mainly because I just heard it yesterday, but it could go either way. |

Crimson although I have a soft spot for Delicate Sound Of Thunder. I usually prefer live albums to studio ones but with Genesis it's the other way around. A Little Light Music used to be in heavy rotation some 15 years ago. My friends and I thought it was smoking and were particulsrly fond of Boureé's metal inclinations. Nowadays it's the duet between guitar and flute during Rocks On The Road that excites me from this release. Perhaps the most beautiful flutters ever to pour out of Anderson's gob. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

| A Little Light Music is so good that I don't even look at it as a live album. I played the living crap out of USA until The Great Deceiver box set came out. |

| Seconds Out is nearly too perfect for a live album but still love it----and Yesshows---especially the Moraz songs is very exciting even if the production is just ok |

Gates Of Delirium on Yesshows is pure magic. Thus my vote. And Seconds Out is overrated.

Okay, I actually like Delicate Sound. It has (I believe) the most Momentary Lapse-centric songs featured on it, and that's an album I quite like. Probably the only one who thinks so.
and it includes Ummagumma's live side? Why haven't more people voted for this??? ------------- http://fryingpanmedia.com |

I quite like A Little Light Music. There is a nice feel to it and some interesting revisions to classic songs. Also, I like hearing Dave Mattocks on the drums with the band. ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |

| I don't really understand the bad rap that Yesshows gets so I voted for that one. Maybe it's just a bit too wild for some people. I'm not sure. |

I agree with you about Yesshows. As for Seconds Out I don't know if I would say it's overrated but I wish Genesis Live was a double so it would include Supper's Ready and so we could have something else where SR was on SO. I think maybe more lamb and W&W material instead.

| The expanded 'Works Live' did improve on the original 'In Concert'. Emerson wanted a double album to begin with but label said no. The original 'In Concert' had a great version of The Enemy God... the expanded version then brought us Abaddon's Bolero, which is superb with the orchestra and I much prefer it to the studio version. ELP's recorded output was on the slide, but they remained on top of their game live. |

Seconds Out - Genesis. Quite liked Yesshows, but always thought the bootleg Wembley recording, in the round, captured that era better. ------------- “Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea.” |

USA is great, Seconds out is great despite Phil, ELP already made it all too concise with 'Welcome Back'.
