Hoping for Chicago second show, but I don't know yet if I can make it. I see there are plenty of seats still available. That surprises me.

They played the same set every night, so all of the Encore Series recordings are the same as Live Over Europe. I think the only difference was one of the nights in LA, when they had to cut a couple songs due to the weather. Otherwise, it was the same set every night.

For my ears, I'd say LOE sounds a little better; it's more produced, and a little fuller sounding. The Encore Series still sounds great, but maybe a little thinner. I have a couple of the ES, mostly because I wanted a recording from one or two of the shows I was at. But personally, I never felt a need to get ES recordings from other shows that tour. I also have boots from two of the shows I was at, that I never listen to.

If the set list ever changed during the tour, or if the official release was missing tracks (like all of their previous live releases), then maybe it's different. But LOE is the full show, with tracks selected from different nights on the tour, probably because they thought they were the best versions. And Nick did a great job putting it together.

For my 2 cents (and this is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt), I'd go with LOE. The Encore Series is great, if you're a completest, want a specific show for personal reasons, or want to listen to each show to find the small changes or mistakes (I'm looking at you Chester in The Cage in Toronto, and you {did we decide it was Tony?} in Firth of Fifth in Rome) they occasionally made. But again, that's just me.

Thanks, it helps a lot. Still looking at Chicago and my first show!

So, I was looking at Live Over Europe, but are there other Encore series or boots that are better in sound quality and setlist?

Use code FOLLOW.

Thanks, it worked!

I see a second Chicago show has been added, November 16. It says the presale is going on now, but the other presale code doesn't work.

Ideas?

I had a similar experience with Chicago. Started the queue with 2,000 plus, sat there for awhile, then gradually went down to 12 and sat there forever. I had to leave my laptop (f***) came back, and it said I was in. I clicked around: $650 apiece, $600 elsewhere. Then I had upper deck $150, and it crashed on me.

So, I got shut out

**^(%^*&*%&^!!!

as now they are $900 and up. Don't the prices come down for awhile at public sale?

And, $185 cheapest on Stubhub.

I got the Helsinki 07 artwork downloaded from the torrent site, but I can't see a link for actual music files.

Does this mean it's not linked anymore?

Getting excited for my first Genesis show in Chicago this November. I'm a fan since 1975. I was wondering of any suggestions for more recent official live or bootleg concerts to get ahold of and where to find them. Thanks in advance.

Just joined the forum, glad to be here.

Any idea if they'll tour the States after this? I need to see them, as I'm way overdue!

Thanks.
