@Mike Noble: IIRC, I have one or two from '76 or '77. Also, come to think of it, I have a Japanese issue of the double live thing, i.e., legitimate. By "Duke," I'm afraid, I'd lost interest. Not sure I've ever heard it.

I really can't handle any Genesis after "Wind and Wuthering". The classic Gabriel albums were a huge thing for me a teenager. Never put them on anymore, but they've got *something* worthy about them. The Collins era was just depressing in comparison.

@Mike Noble: They've had a few "last shows ever," haven't they? I've never seen them, but a buddy of mine who is tight with some of the inner circle of over-the-top Genesis fans has caught them.

@Cecile: Three words: "The Waiting Room." It's the Eno-ized outlier on LLDOB. There are bootleg versions that surpass the studio mess and herald jam bands way before Leftover Salmon. It's the one Genesis tune that sounds nothing like Genesis. Needless to say, it's an instrumental.

I don't have the big hate for Phil Collins, but have never been able to do anything but blink twice slowly when thinking about his 80s - 90s work/image and then about his young stint with Eno on Another Green World.
