GUARANTEED!) ♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫ Depending upon your point ofview, Genesis in 1976/1977 was either a band ascending toward its peakcommercially, or a group crippled by the departure of a key member, and livingon artistic borrowed time. In reality, they were sort of both, and fortunately forthe members, their commerciality was more important than their artistic streetcred, as their burgeoning record sales and huge audiences on tour during thatperiod attested. Seconds Out caught the band straddling both ends of theirhistory, their second concert album and this time out a double LP. Apart fromcapitalizing on a successful tour, the album's raison d'etre appears to havebeen to present the case to critics and longtime fans that post-Peter GabrielGenesis, with Phil Collins as lead singer, was essentially the same band asGenesis fronted by Peter Gabriel. The original side one songs consisted ofrepertory from such post-Gabriel albums as Trick of the Tail and Wind &Wuthering, and most of those live versions, including "Squonk, ""The Carpet Crawl" (positively ethereal), and "Afterglow, "are superior to the original studio renditions of the same songs. Indeed, partof the beauty of this album is the sheer flexibility of the band during thisperiod -- in addition to superb vocals by Collins throughout, the drumming byChester Thompson is at least a match for Collins' best playing. On that olderrepertory (which comprised sides two and three of the LP version), the resultsare more mixed, though still surprisingly enjoyable -- on "The Lamb LiesDown on Broadway, " despite the best efforts of Collins, backed by MichaelRutherford's and Tony Banks's singing, he really can't match the subtlety orexpressiveness of Gabriel's singing, though he comes close; he actually faresslightly better on the closing section of "The Musical Box, " a piecethat requires power as much as subtlety. "Supper's Ready" -- which, sung by Gabriel, missed making it onto 1973's live album -- holds up well, mostly by virtue of the playing; and in fairness, the band even extended itselfto including "Cinema Show, " which is worth hearing just for BillBruford's transcendent drumming, over and above how well everything else works;as this track was never represented with Gabriel, even on the group's boxedset, it's difficult to complain too loudly about any weakness in Collins'singing.
