The live double album Seconds Out was recorded at the Paris Palais des Sports in June 1977. Although featuring mostly Phil Collins era songs he rather surprisingly attempts some Peter Gabriel compositions. (US:47 UK:4)
“Held by many as the best of Genesis’ live entries, this album certainly cements their live reputation. Arguably containing the definitive performances of several classics, this album to me captures the essence of the group live.”
“Hearing this album for the first time when I was a kid was a rapturous experience. I first got into Genesis in the mid-80s, during their pop hit period, and had no inkling of their 70s progressive glory.”
“This was so much better than I thought it was going to be. I have always much preferred Peter Gabriel era Genesis, but this is an awesome live album. One great track after another.”
“The live renditions of Phil era material are lovely, but the real treat is the chance to hear Phil try his hand at Gabriel era stuff, including a complete rendition of Supper's Ready. He succeeded admirably, taking to the theatrical stuff with just as much enthusiasm as Peter did.”
“A great live set from shortly after Gabriel departed, and although this tour is supporting the first non-Gabriel album, the band are still playing early Genesis songs. It's a great opportunity to hear Collins belt out the vocals on these old fan favourites.”
“The renditions of the Gabriel era songs are phenomenal with Phil Collins exhibiting his ability to affix his own stamp to them without detracting from their original essence.”
