It's incomplete, has mistakes etc.
I bought it nevertheless. Nice to see them release stuff. Hope more will come.
as far as I understood Tony in his recent interview, there are no plans for more releases 
which is a pity

It's a nice track, but I don't think it's something special.
I am more hoping for something straight forward for the next one, i.e. like Steam or Shock the monkey.

hmm. Not really my cup of tea. It sounds promising and then it gets lost somehow. For me, Steve has always been a great guitarists who can create unique atmospheres, but he's not a good songwriter.
6/15

Interesting. Fans always complain about stuff being available in digital format only and not on physical media (Flotsam & Jetsam for example). Now it's the opposite. BBC Broadcasts is only available on CD and vinyl and people complain it's not on Spotify etc. Fans are a strange species
I'm pleased with the release. There are moments when you think "I wish that sounded better" and some tracks are missing but who would have predicted we'll get such a release a while ago?

I prefer the BS mix. It sounds "brighter" (ha!), yet more intense. Funny enough, I didn't like the track when I first listened to it. But it grows over time. It's always interesting how music changes when you spend some time with it, isn't it? So I always give stuff a second and third chance and let it grow. Sometimes it grows, sometimes not.
Whether or not this is a "top notch" Gabriel track I don't know. Perhaps we should wait before making a final evaluation...

Well, let's put the fast they didn't include the Cage medly aside.
The TIOA medley was something that seemed to fit the time in the eighties. Might be different now, but it is what it is - a film of a concert in the eighties.
Personally, I quite enjoy this medley. I can understand other do not.
The lengthy introductions to songs was always something I found strange. They could have played another track (or two) instead indeed!

So, just a week from now. Just hope the sound quality is good enough and the booklet will have some nice & new content.
Did somebody NOT preorder it? If so, why?

Amazing! Lots of stuff I didn't know about. Thanks for this.

According to Forbes, the band earned 230 Million $ in 2022.
Details here

Obviously the numbers are baed on the Concord deal and only include the 14 shows they did in 2022 - and they even made 27 Million $.

13/15 from me. Simply a great track from his best album.
Also a highlight on his last ever solo tour
-
He also contributed vocals to But Seriously, i.e. on That's just the way it is and Another day in paradise.

I'm reposting this from one of the other boards as I think this is a more appropriate place for these comments.
My initial reaction to the whole thing is a little disappointed .Brief snippets, bits and pieces. The few Peel session songs are interesting but I was really hoping for the complete Knebworth '78 show as well as the complete lyceum show. I didn't know that the BBC broadcast any of the'98 shows and more of that would've been good. There's loads 87 stuff which I have and I doubt the 92 Knebworth stuff would much different from TWWW CDs. The completest in me says "get it"but I can get a fair bit of that stuff elsewhere.
A shame they didn't include the Cage medley from 1987.
The 87 BBC ecording is from 4th July only, the Wembley DVD is a combination of all four Wembley shows (if I remember correctly).
All in all I have a very familiar feeling. It could have done better and it could be more complete.
will buy it nevertheless

For me, it's a standout track of their later period and a highlight on We Can't Dance. I always prefer to play this really loud. A wonderful track.
I agree ... sort of
13pts from me!
-
Looking forward to the list of his later session work, especially in the eighties!
-
What's also notable is that the inner photo is printed the wrong way round. Seems a repeated error with the band albums: see also the live photo on the rear of the Italian SEBTP. (Error repeated by Rhino on one of their more recent US vinyl reissues.)
Another thing I didn't knows. I like those detals. Thanks!
-
Thanks! The article reveals a lot of details I never knew. I am happy they do release this set, but it's sad there's so much missing.
-
It is a masterpiece! Would be in my Top 20 Genesis and solo projects list.
-
I am actually really happy about the new single:
same here! But still hoping for some great melodies. "Beyond belief" is a good start for that!
-
14/15
One of his finest. Discussion about the lyrics and his own situation is not really my cup of tea. It's a great song!
-
Always thought this is one of Tony's finest solo tracks. Could have been a great Genesis tune I'm sure.
My rating: 14
