Speaking of live tracks, one of my favorite Genesis releases is the double live album, Seconds Out. The sound quality is outstanding, as well as the selection of songs. The songs include many from the Peter Gabriel era, as well as the two albums that Phil Collins had been the lead on at that point (1976)

No you won't find any "Invisible Touch" sounding pop songs on this nearly pure Prog Rock concert.

Here is my favorite cut from this album, which also happens to be my favorite song from my favorite Genesis album, Selling England by the Pound:

Firth of Fifth (Live)

Steve Hackett stated that this is one of his favorite Genesis songs, and you can tell why with the very moving guitar solo..
I tend to prefer studio cuts to live performances of most artists, but every once in awhile I come across a live rendition that is superior to the studio cut.

I submit a copy of Hey You taken from the soundboard, synced up to shaky video cam footage. from the Pulse tour.

I just wish this track was included on the concert DVD. It is available on the concert CD.

Here is the track from the CD
