ALBUM OF THE MONTH

Album #71 is Düsseldorf, DE 27-06-07 by Genesis.

It's NOT the live 2 CD set Live Over Europe that was released in November 2007, but it's very similar. This is one of the concert recordings that are sold on http://www.themusic.com/

"In continuation of The Genesis Encore Series Europe 2007, we are happy to announce The Genesis North American Encore Series 2007, once again brought to you through the joint efforts of the Genesis and the Encore Series team here at TheMusic.com.
As with the European tour, concerts from the Genesis North American Tour will be recorded LIVE OFF THE SOUNDBOARD by the Genesis team and pressed into high-quality manufactured 2-CD sets, not CD-Rs. Shows can be purchased separately, or for the ultimate fan, can be purchased as a complete set (22 shows) in either our Collectors Edition Box Set or Deluxe Limited Edition numbered Road Case."

The company handles live recordings by The Who and Peter Gabriel as well.

Since the Radio Dupree staff attended the satellite simulcast at a cinema of the Düsseldorf concert, we purchased that recording as a sweet memory.

The Live Over Europe album has the same track list but the songs on that one are culled from various shows.
We have not heard that one yet but sound quality may be better too, since they had more time for mixing.

There was no new material performed on the tour, but songs spanning from the first half of the 70's (Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway) up to their later works.
