Product Description
From Amazon.com
This live set of 10-minute-plus epics will, for diehard fans, lay to rest the fantasy that these cagey old troupers can still evoke the mystery and drama of the Gabriel era. Competent, dry, and downright cadaverous. --Jeff Bateman

mixing the live magic,
By
This review is from: The Way We Walk Vol.2: Genesis Live / The Longs (Audio CD)
Although technically brilliant,my one complaint as with most "live" albums is the tracks do not run in the order as they are played in concert,however that aside,"drum duet" leads you up a blind alley,that is all it is ,unlike the drum duet in the "invisible touch " tour which stormed into Los endos.The old medley is terrific,with all the instruments sounding loud and clear,the lead guitar in particular,from dance on a volcano,musical box and the magnificent firth of fifth and with astounding drums this part of the track is the greatest.Finishing the medley with I know what I like is a master stroke,reminiscent of their encores of concerts past.Driving the last spike,well I did`nt warm to the album version till I heard this superb live version ,with the "driving" guitars and topped off with magnificent vocals ,another masterpiece.Domino, as each tour comes and goes, this song ,like a good wine, improves with age.Like I said it`s dissappointing the tracks don`t run as the concerts did but you can always get the video.

Must do better,
By Graham Mccarthy "gmccarthy15" (Cheshire) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: The Way We Walk Vol.2: Genesis Live / The Longs (Audio CD)
Genesis were a great live band and have produces some truly memorable live albums, (notably Seconds Out and Three Sides Live), but this alas isn't one of them. This album is the longer, more self-indulgent tracks from their live set and whereas Volume 1 (the shorts) is vibrant, this one lacks energy. Chief culprit is the easy listening, mellow chords style of guitar playing Daryl Stuermer, which lacks focus and is strangely out of place in this English rock band. Daryl's playing on Firth of Fifth robs an excellent piece of direction and purpose. Don't get me wrong, he can play; on Three Sides Live we can hear a talented guitarist at the top of his game, but that performance serves only to thow this one into sharp relief.
Phil Collins is also a great performer and he can still bash out a beat better than most, but it seems as if he's a little embarrassed by some of Peter Gabriel's quirky lyrics and sings them in a way that suggests that he'd rather get them over with. This album is a disappointment I have to say, even Tony Bank's keyboards on The Musical Box, just when they should be shaking your fillings loose fail to quite deliver and one is left frustratingly unfulfilled. So a considered three stars for an album that could and should have been better.

This is just the best!,
This review is from: The Way We Walk Vol.2: Genesis Live / The Longs (Audio CD)
This is the best disc I've heard of Genesis. Although it is live, it is not one wrong note:-) The songs are long, "the long ones" and still not too long. Must be heard!
