Book Reviews of Genesis--A Live Guide 1969-1975: Play Me My Song
Book Review: It's about time...
Summary: 5 Stars
Taking inspiration from Louis Rey, Russell presents a detailed examination of Genesis live through the Peter Gabriel years. He reviews every tape in circulation, and even some that are not in circulation (where are those Lamb soundboards??) This book presents great summeries of each show that still exists along with some comments about the quality of the tape and relevant cuts.
We even have an exclusive interview with Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Anthony Phillips where the author asks the exact detailed questions that are on every collector's mind (details about "The Light" for example).
I only wish Russell would have given relevent boot citations for the tape he describes (like Rey does). But that is a very minor criticism. Overall this is an excellent presentation about the long ago Gabriel Genesis years and brings back many nice memories.
Summary of Genesis--A Live Guide 1969-1975: Play Me My Song
Before Genesis became a worldwide mega-selling AOR phenomenon, they were at the forefront of English progressive rock. Singer Peter Gabriel introduced theatrics to their live shows, and interest in this period has never been higher. Using tapes and memorabilia from the official Genesis archives, the book is a documentary of their career and a complete analysis of Genesis live shows from Charterhouse schooldays to "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway."
