Why so little Genesis Live material with Gabriel?.

Quote from Wayne

that was really interesting , I wish they would repress those three box sets once more as probably everyone does who doesn’t own them!.

It was interesting, The Evil Jam is our sister website. That day out at Fisher Lane Farm on the 12th June 2006 was great fun. Dale was lovely (we had met a few times before), Nick Davis was lovely (we had met once before). It was a great experience in the control room hearing those songs in surround sound.

They also had lots of 1992 /1998 stuff on DAT tapes (not pictured).

You would be amazed at the abuse we get, even from other well know Genesis fans. That said we all have a role to serve and we all do it differently. genesis-news.com (IT Fanclub), is one of the more professional websites, forums and well organised groups of fans we have encountered.

Abuse?! Why the hell is anyone abusing you? It makes no sense. And from well-known fans?

The cassettes that Geoff shows Bill Macormick (former official Genesis webmaster). Are not what live albums are made of. Genesis Live, Seconds Out and Three Sides Live along with all official live releases by the band. Come from Multitrack tape reels. These can be played in a professional studio and levels of instruments can be altered to sound right.

The cassettes Geoff has/had have all now been transferred onto Hard drives. These are in stereo and were only for the band to listen to the previous nights performance. Not for live release.

Multitrack recording facilities / Filming back in the 1970's was very very expensive. The band simply could not afford this luxury, and the record company would not always provide the money either.

The notion that Genesis is sitting on mountains of archive material is just pure fantasy. Yes there is stuff in the archives, but not mountains of it.

Any live box set or album or film, still requires a budget from the management / record company in order to start the remastering, preservation work and other stuff required to bring the live box set/album/film to market.

I hope this clarifies things,

Thank you. This is something that I have discussed on other occasions (in other forums) and it seems that a considerable group of fans still do not accept. There is that legend of lots of live tapes, "from this bootleg that I have", outtakes and stop counting...

I don't care if they're not multitracked I'd still be thrilled to have the opportunity to purchase copies of the tapes.
