A Selection Of Shows – Genesis [& Solo] Live guide 1976 – 2014.
The author has picked up the reins from where Paul Russell’s live guide left off which would be 1975. This book therefore starts in 1976 initially looking at Genesis bootleg recordings as a review or guide charting every tour right up to the last Genesis world tour of 2007.
But this books ace up its sleeve is where it diversifies from the initial subject matter and looks at the solo careers in the form of bootlegs or sometimes official live shows with the same approach as the Genesis section. There is always information in any book about Genesis and the author of this one knows plenty of things to share with any level of fan from casual to full on anorak; not that being an anorak is should be a negative connotation in this modern age.
From the 1976 “Trick Of The Tail Tour” through to the 2007 reunion, Genesis authority Alan Hewitt details hundreds of rare recordings that document Genesis in it’s natural environment, the stage. The Band’s Live story following Peter Gabriel‘s departure in 1975 has not been told in detail, which is where this book comes in. As if that wasn’t enough, the band’s story has expanded to encapsulate the burgeoning and incredibly successful solo career of Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford & Phil Collins. „A Selection Of Shows” is the perfect companion piece and continues to wander down memory lane. This full colour publication is fully illustrated throughout with memorabilia and many previously unpublished photos. And with the addition of forwards by Phil Collins and Steve Hackett, this is an essential guide to Genesis’ live recordings from their most successful period.
Visually stunning with plenty of tickets, clippings, and photos to feast your eyes upon. People are greedy and they will always want more a few more tickets here and there, which would have been the cherry on the cake. This is not a biography, neither is it a salacious warts and all. What the book is upon close inspection is a live recording review book with very good visual accompaniments. Purchase this book with that knowledge.
