    I thought Dodo was not so good on TSL
    Phil's vocal fill ins with his OWWS are quite annoying . Best track on Abadan BTW

    I was never keen on the live Lamb Lies Down on Broadway with Phil singing and Chester drumming. I’m thinking mainly of Seconds out but also some bootleg versions. I liked the fireside version on the last tour but previously Phil seemed to throw in some…

    I prefer most Genesis songs live over studio. The live versions often gain power and the arrangements are further perfected. However there is a short list of songs where I prefer the studio versions:

    Twelve new threads to look forward to! Studio version by some distance for me. The 78/80 ones were better than the SO one but still not as good as the original.

    Definitely the studio version. There's a crispness to the guitars and an overall aggression that is fantastic. The live version is much smoother and loses this edge - practically everything on Seconds Out loses this aspect, which is fine for some…

    Studio by a wide margin,
    I would have liked a beefier sound on the album (only for this track, I like the rest as it is) a bit like Glyn Johns achieved for the Who on Who’s Next, then it would have justified the working title ‘Bonzo’ for this…
