Live
over Europe 2007 is the sixth live album by British band Genesis. It
was recorded during the Turn It On Again: The Tour of 2007.
Reunited
for the first time in 15 years, which was the last time Phil Collins has
played live with Tony and Mike as Genesis. It was titled Turn It On
Again: The Tour as well as a final time together. Phil indicated that
his hearing was not as good as it was. Venues included Manchester United
and Twickenham - UK, Hanover and Dusseldorf - Germany, Rome - Italy,
Helsinki - Finland, Amsterdam - Netherlands, Paris - France, Prague,
Czech Republic.

That
single word was the exact feeling every single Genesis fan had when
they heard Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett would not join the group on
their 2007 tour, which most likely due to the retirement of Phil Collins
in 2011, is their final tour and the final death of Genesis as a band.
Heading into this album, there isn’t much to look forward to as the set
list consists of the usual greatest hits from 1983’s “Genesis” to 1991’s
“We Can’t Dance”.
Not much from the Gabriel-era is present here with
the exception of the obvious songs: “In the Cage” (a pleasant inclusion
to say the least) and “I Know What I Like”. A surprising choice was the
use of the guitar solo from “Firth of Fifth” and “The Carpet Crawlers”,
but that doesn’t change the great disappointment this album is. Yes,
there’s the story that Phil wanted to include “Supper’s Ready”, but was
vetoed by Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford, but that just makes the
disappointment even more daunting when deciding to listen to this
record. This time around, there wasn’t even a little medley to even it
out, but just three songs. The performance by the band is not their
greatest with Tony’s keyboards sounding out right terrible and Phil not
giving his best vocal performance (considering his further deepening
vocal range and the constant touring). Daryl Stuermer and Chester
Thompson both make a return as members of the group and do an astounding
job filling their respective roles. Mike does great as part of the
rhythm section, particularly on “In the Cage” and “Domino”.
Without
complaining about the absence of earlier material, this album holds up
well as a live album, but when compared to earlier Genesis live albums,
such as 1973’s “Live”, 1977’s “Seconds Out” and 1982’s “Three Sides
Live” (The European version, as in the true TSL), “Live Over Europe”
just doesn’t have the best set list and instrumentation going for it. It
lacks the soul and charm that was present in those respective albums
and fails to live up to Genesis’s live standards.
