This is the remaster of the Dutch Test Pressing (2LP) of the officially released album GENESIS LIVE. This one sounds better than all official releases of that album. The track "Supper's Ready" was not included in the official release.

The officially released songs are different in some ways:

"This Dutch Live Test Pressing is not a regular test pressing because what was finally used on the official Genesis Live LP is different than what was used on this pressing. An extra song is included, the introductions are longer, and the mix is different." (source: genesisimuseum.com)

"It is my conclusion that these LPs are a sort of anomaly; neither a regular test pressing nor a radio concert. These are test pressings for the Leicester/Manchester 1973 concert that was to be used on the official Genesis Live LPs, but not a test pressing for the official LPs themselves." (source: genesisimuseum.com)

recording comment:
"The ultimate version of this wonderful collectors item. Finest sound quality ever found, this release put all the other ones onto shame. I really wonder how did they manage to produce this, it's such a professional remastering work!. This is what Genesis Live could have been... well, I think the guys should have a listen to this priceless piece of work and then ... release it as should have been at last!, with all the fascinating Gabriel stories, a more natural live atmosphere and the arguably best version I've ever heard of Supper's Ready"

Fantastic...thanks so much for this.

Best wishes, Andy.

[dvkingman]

This rocks! Thank you so much!

I'd LOVE to see more Genesis here...

[dvkingman]

It's certainly possible that I'm doing something wrong, but there seems to be a problem with these files. They only get part way through each track and then silence for the duration. Is this happening to anyone else? I'd love to get this straightened out because from what I'm able to hear this sounds fantastic...!

[hrothgar]

There are glitches in the Supper's Ready track (at 4:39 for example...a little skip). Is this also true of the "original files"? Not a complaint. These songs are truly stellar. Sound quality is unbelievably good.

[dvkingman]

Do the tracks play all the way through for you though?

[blue sky bag]

all the tracks are complete here except
"Watcher Of The Skies" which is cut at 5.01
"The Musical Box" cuts out at 2.37
"Supper's Ready" cuts out at 4.38
"The Return Of The Giant Hogweed" cuts out at 7.13

[elvire]

thank you so much

[hrothgar]

No, they do not. As mentioned, they cut out early. Blue Sky Bag is correct that they end early. 4 out of 6 tracks. Ugh.

[hrothgar]

I sent a PM to the original poster. Hopefully they have a complete version.

I double-checked my original flacs and had no troubles whatever.
You can use winrar to repair files also. This often fixes early dropouts but I will re-up them using win-zip. Perhaps you will have better luck.

This Bootleg is TOO good to miss so I'm willing to help out.

[hrothgar]

Thanks so much. I appreciate your efforts.

Best wishes, Andy.

[dvkingman]

Great. Thank you so much. You're right, this is one not to miss...
