Live Over Europe by Genesis (CD, Nov-2007, 2 Discs, Atlantic USA)

I don't want to get ugly but I've been waiting a month now for this CD to arrive. Media mail or normal mail, a small package like a CD shouldn't take a month! No I don't recommend this Seller.

the shiping it was in time, but one of the cd on the shipinp it was broken......................................................................

Well, I am one of the lucky "ones" whom witnessed Gab in G. Don't get me wrong PC did unbelievable stuff with G and for himself but Genesis (as it meant to be) was cut short of its "bible" probably due to Pete's ego. I saw this concert in Paris in June 07 and was rejoycing as I love this band! Truly Phil somehow lost its voice (and pep) and even with arrangements, this CD doesn't do any justice to the band's capabilities. Gosh, I'm getting up-there myself but keep going Genesis, you still stand as the band which changed most of what my kids hear today (2008). PS: I still beleive PC is the best drummer and a great singer! This album would be for guys like me: "Genesis no matter" however this is by far Genesis worst album including 73 "Genesis Live". If you are a fan buy "Second's Out" so that you hear and perhaps inderstand post-Gab era with a splendid but rather "shy" PC...YEAH, I was there too...in Paris! An unforgetable night indeed! You guys (PC, Rutherford, Banks, Hacket) did it!!!

So long G (Gab OR Genesis). Unless you'are a die hard Genesis fan, save your money and buy older albums...

I am a long time Genesis fan who owns a lot of other live and recorded Genesis material. Without question, the band has aged and the level of enthusiasm and intensity has lessened. That said, they still have a great catalog of music to draw from and can still perform it with precision.

The playing on this CD is strong as always...but some of the emotion is missing from their playing and Phil's delivery of some of the vocals. Regardless, I am glad to own this CD set and would recommend it for anyone that likes the songs on it. None of the performances disappoint, but neither are any a big improvement over other versions already available. As I am a keyboardist myself, I tend to pay particular attention to the sounds of the individual instruments, especially the synthesizers.

The newer tones are a little different. I miss the analog era of monster Prophet 10 and Arp Quadra synthesizer sounds. Tony Banks still uses digital samples from a lot of his other keyboard gear. But for me the rich power of the Genesis sound coming from Tony Banks' vintage analog synths, has vanished. His new high tech, digital, Korg Oasys leaves a lot to be desired. For big fans of Genesis, I'd recommend this CD. For others looking or the BEST live Genesis CD...I'd compare the other choices before buying this one.

I got this CD because I saw Genesis at MSG last Sept.07 and it was great and this is from the same tour year. If you are a fan this is the cd for you all of the classic in one place and they are done live so they alway embellish thier work. It sounds great.....
