Description:

Before Genesis became a worldwide mega-selling AOR phenomenon, they were at the forefront of English progressive rock. Singer Peter Gabriel introduced theatrics to their live shows, and interest in this period has never been higher. Using tapes and memorabilia from the official Genesis archives, the book is a documentary of their career and a complete analysis of Genesis live shows from Charterhouse schooldays to "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway."

Mental Concert Footage Jul 09, 2008
I must admit that I came across the book by accident when I did a search for 'Peter Gabriel.' After looking at the book's description, I decided to order a copy. I was not disappointed because it was a good choice! Not only does the author give great descriptions of what he extrapolated from his bootleg recordings of early concerts, but he also went through the trouble of transcribing the little stories Peter Gabriel told while the rest of the band tuned their instruments. I am a big fan of early Genesis, (1970-1977) and this is a must have for those who are interested in that era.

It's about time... Jan 14, 2005
Taking inspiration from Louis Rey, Russell presents a detailed examination of Genesis live through the Peter Gabriel years. He reviews every tape in circulation, and even some that are not in circulation (where are those Lamb soundboards??) This book presents great summeries of each show that still exists along with some comments about the quality of the tape and relevant cuts.
We even have an exclusive interview with Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips where the author asks the exact detailed questions that are on every collector's mind (details about "The Light" for example).
I only wish Russell would have given relevent boot citations for the tape he describes (like Rey does). But that is a very minor criticism. Overall this is an excellent presentation about the long ago Gabriel Genesis years and brings back many nice memories.

Read Me Their Live Show Nov 27, 2004
Read this and you'll come to know why Gabriel's Genesis was so good live act. Theatrical shows, fascinating customs and proge music that touched many people. Those were the days before the great success. In my opinion, Gabriel's year were Genesis greatest for musically. Many pictures and interesting stories will reveal you many interesting things for band members. Highly recommand for every Genesis fan!
