Hey, when did Collins change from his more streamlined drum kit to the kit we all know today (4 toms, etc.)?

I agree. I also thing Dance on a Volcano/Los Endos on Seconds out is absolutely amazing. I also have The Lamb Live which I very much enjoy. |

I can understand about Live and Seconds Out; but, how in the world can 3 Sides Live get as many votes as the lame Long & Shorts? Absolute madness.

Of those listed, I voted for Genesis Live. It has more energy and clarity than Seconds Out, even though that was my favourite when it came out.
However, I think the best live Genesis material of all is found on the 4 disc Live Archive '67 - '75.
When you consider that two discs are taken up with a live rendition of The Lamb ( all except the last track 'It' which is a studio re-recording as the tape ran out!) with Gabriel singing, and that another disc has a live version of Supper's Ready, again with Gabriel, plus other outstanding live tracks, such as Firth Of Fifth and I Know What I Like, this has to be the desert island disc for all Genesis fans, including me.

Cool. For some reason, I thought they had only remastered the studio albums. Thanks Arsillus.
It's better than nothing. I'll take what I can get. |

I've got Seconds Out on iTunes right now and this is a great live disc. Collins does a great job covering Gabriel. And Banks' keys are absolutely beautiful.

My favorite is still Genesis Live. It's sort of has a grungy, raw feel and sound to it which is what I like about it. Or as Peter Gabriel once mentioned in an interview, "hastily miked."
The rest are all great, of course, but too slick and mixed. Each to his own...

None of them, but I go for Live. At least there's no Collins covering Peter.

For me it would be in this order,
1 Live 2 Seconds Out 3 Three Sides Live The first time I ever heard Watcher Of The Skies was on live and Tony's Mellotron intro would give me goose bumps, it was so beautiful. Also The Knife is pretty smoking. |

I said Genesis Live, but my vote really lies with a couple of boots from about 70-74.

What, no Archive 67-75 Discs 1-3?
Genesis Live for me. Better song selection, better vocals, etc. |

I believe he only plays the drums in The Cinema Show so that isn't much of a bonus |

I have to agree about the medleys. Not a big fan of them. They can be interesting, but I prefer the whole songs. The last time I saw them, they only played the classic stuff in medley form. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I like "Genesis Live," but the sound is a bit muted, and it leaves you with a feeling of being unfinished. "Seconds Out" is a much more comprehensive album, and the performances are very good. You also get the bonus of Bill Bruford. By the way, is there a remaster of "Live" available?

The quality is very good, the problem for purists is that Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett overdubbed some parts of it before releasing it in 1998, I believe Peter sung part of Supper's Ready and some sections from The Lamb that had inferior quality in the original tapes.
It's worth to get it.
