Ah Lyle Mays. His beautiful style of playing has been with me for many years.

Can I recommend...

September Fifteenth live version from the dvd. On youtube.

One CD of this on Spotify.

Sounds good to me.

Steve at the Edinburgh Playhouse in 1983.

I sneaked into the soundcheck.

Very strange this album has totally grown on me over the years. When it first came out it was Me and Sarah Jane and Like it or not. But now it's Keep it Dark because of the drum rhythm on the live version and Dodo Lurker from the Savoy NY Bootleg sung with power. What an audience Bootleg that is.

Also love Abacab obviously especially the live version and No reply at all too.

This was the hardest vote for any genesis album.

I saw them at High Voltage about 10 years ago. They were magical.

I love 1984 in its original vinyl version. Unlike anything else I have heard.

I agree.

There is so much information out there about those early days. I loved the feature about their first concert at Mrs. Balmes dance in Chobham. Amazing reading and a copy of the setlist too. All the Genesis books I have are poor with information on the pre Charisma days.

I would love to see that list.

Duke suite for me.

I wish they had issued it on one side at the time.

My first cd was...

Marillion Real to reel!!

I found this fascinating particularly with the Gabriel set list. Amazing detail and I felt myself actually be there on the day.

The whole Trick package was evocative. The double gatefold cover and intricate portraits of the characters from the record made it like a fairy story to me. It is my favourite record not just by Genesis but anybody. I love the production too which brings me back to 1981 when I first encountered it.

Musically everything is perfect apart from Robbery Assault. I do listen to that tune because of its place on the disc but I just wish Hackett could of offered Ace of Wands from his Acolyte record or Hands of the Priestess. Then blimey what a record it would have been. Favourite bit is all of side one. Just magical.

Don't forget you can order the signed box set from Cherry Red Records too at the moment.

New IQ double cd.

Sounds very heavy and similar to Frequency. Having a wee bit of trouble getting into it.

A very strong coffee.

IQ go back a long way with me too. My favourite track is the live dvd version of The Seventh House when Martin Orford was still there and they had their first world war slides to support the song. I think it was recorded at a German festival.

I highly recommend IQ to anybody who loves Genesis.

That's spooky.

I just got back from my local hmv and they were playing the new Ian Gillan live cd. Sounded tremendous so I'm going to order it.

Orchestra plus Don Airey plus Demon's Eye.

Was Wembley 04 08 87 released on dvd or was that a different night?

New Prog mag in the UK has...

IQ A missile on it!

Sounds very metally to me with a Frequency similar riff.

Maybe the Glasgow Apollo concert from Three Sides Live from 1976. Wouldn't that whole concert be amazing to own with the dynamic crowd.
