Genesis - Seconds Out (1977)

Genesis  -  Seconds Out  (2 LP set)

  Any fan of Genesis has likely marvelled at this two LP set capturing them live post Peter Gabriel era.  Exit Mr. Peter Gabriel and enter Chester Thompson and Bill Bruford who more than adequatley sub in as drummers and percussionists while Phil Collins takes over lead vocals.

   "Seconds Out"was recorded in Paris during the 1976 and 1977 tours and represents a wonderful cross section of songs from the early and mid period albums.
   
   No question Genesis were one of the great progressive rock bands of all time and this double live album is proof of just how good they were.  I personally prefer the vocals of Peter Gabriel but Phil does a good job too and he sounds great on this tour.
