GENESIS boxed set 1970-1974

[PlacervilleGuy]

I've been a Genesis fan since the 70s. I got turned on to them a little too late to see them with Peter Gabriel but their albums with him are still some of the best prog-rock out there. I've bought their albums in many formats over the years, but now, I feel i have the best one of all. The latest boxed set covering "the Gabriel years" is very very good sounding, and while 96khz DTS Surround is the best you can get there, it is a far cry better than most of the CD releases. Some may or may not like what they did with the Surround. It's like you're sitting in the middle of the band. But I like it!

And better still are the "extras" included on each disk. Concert footage with Peter at the front!! Yeah those tracks are in mono and not the best fidelity, but after all these years, finally getting to see these performances is a treat beyond belief for me. Best $100 I've ever spent.

I lost interest in Genesis after Steve Hackett left and their music became more pop-schlock than prog-rock. But if you like the early years this is a great set to have.
