Album of the Day

Though Genesis had already issued a concert double album in 1977, THREE SIDES LIVE was their first since the group had begun to conquer the pop charts. The bulk of the recordings were made in late 1981 in New York and Birmingham during the band's ABACAB tour, and include such favorites as “Turn It On Again,” “Follow You Follow Me” and “Misunderstanding.” With the core trio of Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford augmented by bassist Daryl Stuermer and percussionist Chester Thompson, the musicianship is superb throughout, and the audiences respond accordingly. THREE SIDES LIVE was a Gold-certified, Top 10 hit, and we'll turn it on again to wish Collins a happy birthday.
