[…] indeed - not 1991, but 1990 (Knebworth). And 2000 [URL:https://www.genesis-news.com/article/genesis-live-in-london-2000-the-mmf-award-show/] as well.

I think this is a great song, not quite a 15, but close. Find me another song that is this catchy and has a main riff that is in a meter of 13 and has 13 chord changes. I prefer most Genesis songs live versus the studio versions. However, this is one of the few that I prefer the studio version. There is a tightness and crispness to it that is great, whereas many live version feel a bit plodding. The tight harmonies at the end are perfect and are absent from live versions as previously…

Annie isn't used as well as one would hope. The band seems to have changed bassists a lot in 1971 so it's likely that Korner was soon to leave at this point. As for "Living is Easy," I note that most of it does not consist of parts of the later "Things," so the majority of it is otherwise unheard. As for the…

Personally, I love the live version on Three Sides Live best of all I think - in fact I love every version I've ever heard, to be honest. It's just one of those Genesis songs that energises me whenever I hear it, studio or live. 8)
