Live 1973-2007 [Box]

Performer: Genesis
Distributor: WEA (Distributor)

Notes: The last in a series of four deluxe box sets reissuing the entirety of Genesis' catalog (excepting their all-but-disowned debut recordings, produced by Jonathan King), LIVE 1973-2007 contains four of the group's five live albums -- 1973's LIVE, 1977's SECONDS OUT, 1982's THREE SIDES LIVE, and both volumes of 1992's GENESIS LIVE: THE WAY WE WALK, sequencing the two into concert order -- adding an empty slot for 2007's LIVE OVER EUROPE, which is not included in this set. A lot of this will be a dream-come-true, omissions aside, for longtime fans.

Record Collector (magazine) (p.86) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[SECONDS OUT] still sounds remarkable...proving what an essential live act Genesis truly were."

One of the seminal progressive rock bands, Genesis began in the late-'60s as post-Beatles visionaries with a taste for orchestrated pop melodrama, but quickly mutated into purveyors of ambitious, classical-tinged art rock. After flamboyantly theatrical vocalist Peter Gabriel left (eventually followed by guitarist Steve Hackett), the group gradually turned toward more accessible material under the stewardship of singing drummer Phil Collins. By the '80s, Genesis had become an unstoppable hit-singles machine. Meanwhile, both Gabriel and Collins went on to lucrative solo careers. The band called it a day in 1997, shortly following Collins's departure, but reunited a decade later for a major world tour.
