EMBED for wordpress. Want more? I Can't Dance Carpet Crawlers Total Time Four months before the first European tour was started in June , I with my i-Rock! They were very excited. It was one of the topics discussed in the seminar: "Would Genesis be able to play as good as previous live shows?
Some of the audience doubted but some were very optimistic about it. When the show was conducted, a friend who joined in local rock music community made a post in the mailing list that he was disappointed watching Genesis live at Helsinki.
He made a very detailed comment pertinent to the show. I was lucky that finally I was not going to watch the show. The CD contains the entire set of the Turn It On Again reunion tour, although each song was recorded at a different location. The album is like a live compilation from various venues. Turn It On Again Tour setlist was trying to balance between old and new, trying to satisfy both the die hard fans and the fans of the more commercial period.
There are three meddleys. The first is the opening track which consists of instrumental version from Duke's album: Behind The Lines and Duke's End. Not only that, when he sings Turn It On Again he enters too quickly before it should be.
It sounds really bad and I am not interested to continue the music without energy like this. Overall, it's a live set for longing die hard fans only, not the beginners.
The good part about this live set is the sonic quality is excellent and te duo drum solo by Collins and Thompson is really cool. For a fact, if pop fans have absolutely no problem welcoming Genesis's return on stage and especially the way in which to return - the huge crowds at all these concerts were, after all, happy people, no? Where stands Live Over Europe and the huge comeback tour itself in regards to the more than enough times extreme-sided opinions over Genesis's new rise and new music logic a surprise and something worth the shot for one side, respectively a ridiculous, over-rated and pointless thing to dream of, attend as a spectacle or go for, on the other side?
Quite nowhere, in frankly my opinion, even if the way Genesis have planned this event and perfected on their chosen style is nowhere near neutral or ready to satisfy both parties - meaning that the trio clearly chose their pop-rock bounces, while the reasons for including some oldies were rather misty, and, even worse, their concerts came with pesky commercial, financial and managerial demands, regardless of anything.
Live Over Europe is, still, comfortably nowhere inside the conflict over pop and prog, because it's just a live album, with qualities and downbreaks, with effect on you as a listener and a certain worth of a result.
Quite a good tour map, though of course the full concerts rarely suffered changes or different measures as music. A clever mix to the album's recording is how the pieces don't have sharp cuts in the flow, even if they come from different concerts. Besides the central icon that is the trio sure, Phil Collins has a comeback himself, but without him the reunion wouldn't have made sense at all, "calling" Ray Wilson back in having meant disaster , Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer are also back playing percussion and bass, so moments like the drums duo are in this way a buzzing and usual entry.
The concerts certainly must have had their explosive nature or their show-glow, but a bit less is heard through the CD music a DVD is, therefore, in order. About the Genesis pieces, precisely those pop music ones, the feeling between hearing the original, hearing other live albums and this particular one isn't very different, except when the new sound and interpretation is concretely either somewhat fresh or somehow weaker than before - or - when the artists themselves wanna spice up the show and the pieces: Collins sings good, the only breaks happening when he's using on a more romantic, mellow or bored tone.
Rutherford and Banks don't do the best performance of their lives, which is why their weakest moments are the false improvisations one. As pop artists, they actually don't know, nor want, to truly improvise, so the songs weaken to some strange sounds, extra frustrating melodies or bad quickly-tuned effects.
To a certain point, the prog part is the biggest disappointment over Live Over Europe : playing Ripples , Firth Of Filth or Carpet Crawlers is nothing special whatsoever, moreover okay, cool, expressive and into the spirit; nothing more. I Know What I Like or Los Endos , usually annoyingly poppy in the prog original albums, aren't even shaky anymore; they're nice as well. One objection to this entire idea however: In The Cage is miserable! This being said, Live Over Europe 's cream of the crop is, in the end, the pop recital, full of the dynamics, beats and high pop that the 80s' dream offered.
Finishing with the recommendation, I can only do a sterile one, since I don't find it interesting thinking about what's worthier in Genesis's music even if the answer is obvious: prog when listening to Live In Europe.
The music of this concert is good, the package and the recording has the same nice qualities, it's a light adventure True though, money back not guaranteed. For all the hype of their demise the fact remains these are great musicians that are masters of harmony and melody even in the basest of their pop songs. Yes, the songs are played in lower key so shoot them for that. This is not essential and there is a tendency to maybe make this for fans only but I won't.
The Cage medley and other parts of Duke and Selling England By the pound are present and is it the fault of these three members of the band that the other two were not with them? No it isn't but many fans would crucify them for simply existing in this form. If any of you feel that way then you need to let go of the grudge.
This a beautiful played well produced live CD by an standards and it deserves a three star rating and maybe higher by others that this was the only introduction to the band live.
Realizing this may be the last gasp I think it is valuable. To the older fans I say let it go and give at least the progressive songs a listen. So thankfully this reunion tour has produced a great live album. The albums still has those irritating Dumbed down medleys of Dukes Travels, Cinema Show etc but the main point being the detail these guys put into this performance, demonstrates what professional they still are.
A solid three and a half stars! Track list-wise, I suppose it actually resembled their set, Si I can't say I missed much either, although they open up on a duo from their last worthy I'm in a good mood so far album, Duke. However the next two tracks are showing just how insulting Phil thought of godd or fitting drumming and while he's out front, I pity poor Chester playing this binary almost trisomic beat. Things of course get a bit better with In The Cage, but I can't see how first hour fans can be happy with this simplified version as it becomes a travesty to include a few Cinema Show solos.
Apart a few semi-interesting tracks, and concert mainstays like Afterglow and Home By The Sea an elongated version , the first disc is mostly a bore until it reaches its end where Firth and Wardrobe, the former is indeed interesting because Struemer or Rutherford indeed apply a different solo to the Hackettian affair, although relying on the normal landmarks. Well I'm a little short on albums I can safely give one star rating after objectively reviewing it and this made a pretty safe bet.

They sound like they've been playing this set list every year for ten years instead of being on hiatus for over a decade.
They're too professional to be bad, but they're too predictable to be interesting, at least on record, even for the diehards who enjoyed them in concert. Listen to over 70 million songs with an unlimited streaming plan.
