Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

The 1975 departure of vocalist Peter Gabriel--following the epic Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour--left this band with a creative vacuum that they struggled gamely to fill. In promoting drummer Phil Collins to the role of frontman, they signalled a decisive shift away from the prog-rock theatrics of their previous work, and toward a more conventional (and commercial) adult-rock sound. This double live album--recorded in 1977--finds them attempting to reconcile both their early and middle periods, and certainly, on such Gabriel-era tunes as "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" and the magisterial "Supper's Ready", Collins shows himself to be a perfectly proficient replacement. Yet for all his vocal chops, there's something vital missing: a necessary sense of the perverse. Instead, both band and singer run through these nightmares of unreason like the durable rock classics they are--and as a result, Genesis forfeit much of what had originally made them unique. --Andrew McGuire


CD Description

After Peter Gabriel left Genesis, the band proved able to carry on without him, making high-quality albums with Phil Collins as the frontman. On the stage, though, where Gabriel'soutrageous costumes, antics, and charisma made Genesis concerts the stuff of legend, the Collins-era band had even moreto prove. Those who hadn't seen the post-Gabriel group livewere served notice by SECONDS OUT that this was a performance unit to be reckoned with.
For the tour from which thisalbum is taken, the band borrowed drummer Bill Bruford (between this and his time with King Crimson and Yes, Bruford was truly the prog-rock drummer de rigueur in the '70s) and set about exploring both new and old tunes with equal aplomb. Steve Hackett was still on hand, and his majestic guitar lines mix with Tony Banks's stately synths for that vintage Genesis sound on Gabriel-era epics such as "Supper's Ready" as well as newer tunes like "Squonk" and "Afterglow".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Live Masterpiece, 24 April 2006
By N. ADAMS (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The 70's were great for producing musicians that could really play. Unlike today where so much music is produced at a touch of button or fashoined by a pop svengali, producing the goods live was seen as the real benchmark of a quality artist or band.
Here is probably THE finest example of a live group at the peak of their powers. Genesis were a good studio band but epic tracks like "Suppers Ready" and "The Cinema Show" are taken to a whole new dimension. The quality of the playing is absolutely superb throughout with a powerful, articulate sound that makes the hairs on the back your neck stand on end. If you are serious music fan, Seconds Out is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars Collection of their best tunes from the 70s., 27 May 2004
I'm just listening to this again after a few years.
It's good, very good. The best tunes from their 70s albums played perfectly live. The versions are as good as or better than the album versions. A personal high for me is the extended version of "I Know What I Like".

The whole feel of the album is great. Really involving, exciting, slightly trippy. If only I could have been there at the time. I think their new mood after "A Trick of the Tail" allowed them to improve on the album versions of "Cinema Show", "Firth of Fith" and "Suppers Ready".

If you only buy one pre 80s Genesis album buy this one.

Later live albums, like "3 Sides Live" sound stodgy after this.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best live album of the 70's, 4 Aug 2004
By A. Robinson "andrewrobinson5" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Whatever happened to the live album? In the 1970's rock bands were keen to release live albums. They were great marketing tools, so long as the band could play well live, and the recording quality was good. These albums proved that these were rock bands, working hard on the road and not pop bands miming and messing about. 'Seconds out' is the best live album of the '70's, without a doubt. Genesis were at a turning point in their career. Having lost Peter Gabriel, and with Steve Hackett about to depart, they needed to lay to rest tracks like 'Suppers Ready' and 'Cinema show' with great ceremony. These old Gabriel songs are rendered superbly on Seconds Out, benefitting from excellent sound production, and the band having matured as musicians since the songs were first recorded. The clarity of the sound is breathtaking, even when Genesis launch into their trademark 'buzy' instrumental sections. Nothing is lost in the mix. The bass pedal synthesizers come across great too, so TURN IT UP!! let the room shake and imagine you are there, at Le Centre Du Sports, Paris 1977.
