A live accessory

Three Sides Live is, as its name suggests, a live. It has a small peculiarity in this that when he came out, he had only three sides out of four live recordings - so that its title is well chosen - and a face, the last containing unreleased studio. An edition will offer, at the same time, a totally live version of this disc, replacing the previously unreleased studio with excerpts from concerts 1976-77 (period Seconds Out). Since the CD editions offer this version, the American version of the disc. There is a CD edition of the English version, with the unpublished, but this is very rare.

Talking immediately additional live tracks to indicate a rather funny blunder about the CD: it is indicated in Title 5 of the second disc, The Fountain Of Salmacis, when in fact this piece is on the sixth range, coupled with It / Watcher Of The Skies. The fifth audio track is actually occupied by the result of One For The Vine, a piece that is split into two parts here, one wonders why.
Under his abominable pouch (very simple but at the same time, after the overwhelming delusion that of Abacab, it changes), Three Sides Live features mostly songs from the period 1980 to 1981 the group, that is the worst period . However, to say that these excellent versions of Dodo, Afterglow (which marks the end of the original live, end of the third side) Turn It On Again, without forgetting the beautiful and long In The Cage (containing a final instrumental medley) ? If at any time this double live reaches the evocative power and beauty of Seconds Out, it remains a very nice live. Each period of Genesis in his live to illustrate: the Gabriel years; the end of the Golden Age of progressive; Pop FM 80 years; FM pop and years 90. That said, this live album is perhaps worst of all the series. It is also the least known, and for those who know him, it is often the least well estimated.

To listen, but not in priority, at least, not if you do not really know the group.
