Genesis - Three Sides Live (1982)

Okay, here's the first record off my (huge) collection I will discuss.

It's a live album by Genesis, recorded during the Abacab Tour in 1981 and released in 1982. Two versions exist, one 100% live album (with 3 tracks from 1976 on side 4 and this one is the only version available on CD) and a version with a studio side, which is the pressing I own (according to wikipedia, this one were a US tracklist as opposed to the 100% live album which were a UK release).

The line-up performing here is composed of Phil Collins (drums, vocals), Tony Banks (keyboards) and Mike Rutherford (guitar, bass guitar) on the studio material with Daryl Stuermer (guitar, bass guitar) and Chester Thompson (drums) being added to the previous 3 on the live material.

The tracklisting of the LP I have (with the studio material on side 4) goes as such:

A1. Turn It On Again

A2. Dodo

A3. Abacab

B1. Behind The Lines

B2. Duchess

B3. Me & Sarah Jane

B4. Follow You, Follow Me

C1. Misunderstanding

C2. In The Cage/Cinema Show/Slippermen (medley)

C3. Afterglow

D1. Paperlate

D2. You Might Recall

D3. Me And Virgil

D4. Evidence Of Autumn

D5. Open Door

D1-D3 were recorded in 1981 (they are Abacab outtakes) while D4 and D5 were recorded in 1979.

It's a great album if you ask me, with a solid musicianship and great lead vocals. The song choice is really nice and I would recommend this one to people who wanna discover Genesis, though several other albums by Genesis could also be very well-suited.
