Rhino is set to release Genesis Live 1973-2007, a boxed set gathering the four live albums recorded by the legendary British group from 1973 to 1992. Featuring brand new stereo mixes, the boxed set also includes the long-awaited release in stereo and 5.1 of Live At The Rainbow 1973 only available with this collection.

Genesis Live 1973-2007 is a sumptuously presented boxed set that includes:

GENESIS LIVE, the band's first Top 10 album in the UK, recorded in Leicester and Manchester and issued in 1973, and featuring the classic line-up of Tony Banks (keyboards), Phil Collins (drums, vocals), Peter Gabriel (vocals, flute), Steve Hackett (guitars) and Mike Rutherford (bass, guitars). GENESIS LIVE, for this box-set release, has been extended to feature five bonus tracks recorded at the Shrine Auditorium, Los Angeles on January 24, 1975 and the full album is also presented in 5.1 for the first time.

The double set SECONDS OUT, a Top 5 entry in 1977 that documented the group's Paris dates as a quartet with Collins on lead vocals following Gabriel's departure in 1975. The tour featured touring drummers Bill Bruford and Chester Thompson. Exclusive to this boxed set, SECONDS OUT is presented in stereo and 5.1 versions.

THREE SIDES LIVE, a #2 album in the U.K. in 1982, mostly showcasing the Banks-Collins-Rutherford incarnation augmented by Thompson and guitarist Daryl Stuermer.

THE WAY WE WALK, finally sees these two live albums resequenced as per the original show's set list. Originally released separately and entitled VOL I: THE SHORTS, which made the Top 3 in Britain in 1992, and VOL 2: THE LONGS, this was the band's sixth #1 album, and their only concert recording to top the charts in 1993.

First formed in 1967, Genesis have sold 150 million albums worldwide and have influenced the likes of Elbow, Flaming Lips, and Jeff Buckley. In the early '70s, their ambition in the studio was matched by groundbreaking live shows as they presented such classic albums as NURSEY CRYME, FOXTROT, SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND,and THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY to audiences across Europe and the U.S. Following Gabriel's exit in the mid-'70s, Collins stepped up to the microphone and the group scored Top 5 albums with A TRICK OF THE TAIL and WIND AND WUTHERING. Hackett left in 1977 but the "remaining three" had their first Top 10 single with "Follow You Follow Me" and their first U.S. Top 20 album with ... AND THEN THERE WERE THREE ... the next year. A simpler, more direct approach to songwriting worked so well that Banks-Collins-Rutherford scored consecutive #1 albums with DUKE, ABACAB, GENESIS, and INVISIBLE TOUCH in the '80s, and with WE CAN'T DANCE in 1991, and became a stadium act without losing any of their sophistication and attention to detail. This was evidenced again when they returned to the stage after a ten-year hiatus. WHEN IN ROME 2007, the DVD of the free concert they gave at the Circo Massimo in Rome in front of 500.000 spectators topped the DVD charts in the U.K. last year.

Recorded at Leicester De Montfort Hall and Manchester Free Trade Hall in February 1973, GENESIS LIVE was not originally intended for release but rather mixed to be broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour show on US radio. It comprises versions of the melodramatic set opener "Watcher Of The Skies" and "Get 'Em Out By Friday" from Foxtrot, the band's fourth studio album - which had reached #12 in October 1972 - "The Return Of The Giant Hogweed" and "The Musical Box" from 1971's NURSERY CRYME, the first album featuring Collins and Hackett, and the tour de force quiet-loud dynamics of "The Knife," from Trespass, the group's 1970 debut for the Charisma label. Given the band's growing reputation for its theatrical shows, it is no surprise that Genesis Live spent ten weeks in the charts in 1973, paving the way for the release of SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND later that year.
