Quickly released a few months after Genesis' reunion tour of the summer of 2007, Live Over Europe 2007 is a 21-track collection that finds Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks sampling from every era of the band's career, giving equal emphasis to pop hits and extended prog pieces. In other words, it's a live album that looks good on paper, but in practice Live Over Europe 2007 is a bit of a snooze, as the sound is too pristine and the performances too well-oiled to have much of a spark. It's not that the group sounds rusty -- quite the opposite, actually. They sound like they've been playing this set list every year for ten years instead of being on hiatus for over a decade. They're too professional to be bad, but they're too predictable to be interesting, at least on record, even for the diehards who enjoyed them in concert. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Genesis: Chester Thompson , Daryl Stuermer, Mike Rutherford, Phil Collins, Tony Banks. Genesis Live Over Europe Songs Live Over Europe Music Review Average Rating: (2.8 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews They had to ruin Ripples
If it wasn't bad enough that Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett(even though he wanted a real reunion) weren't there. If it wasn't bad enough that they used a lousy jazz fusion guitar player like Daryl Steurmer to screw up most the oringinal Hackett leads. Then they had to go and ruin Ripples. It sounds as if you're hearing a 45" record version of the song on 33 speed. Sad to say, this shouldn't even have been regarded as a reunion, because it isn't. Pittiful!

Again..the same
When are these guys going to realize that, in order to bring back the magic of the old Genesis, they need to bring Gabriel and Hacket back?
It is the same boring Genesis from Phil Collins era.

Aside from the new drum duet, every song on the album has been released on previous live albums. That's not really unexpected since Genesis have always released live albums on a regular basis. What is unexpected is that they didn't even bother to mix the songs up a bit. The arrangements are practically identical to those on earlier releases. Even the medlies are stupid. Technically, this is the worst sounding album they've ever produced. I first listened to the cd in my car and thought I must have blown a speaker. But when I listened to it at home I realized that it really does just sound bad. The drums are muddy and indistinct. The guitars are completely buried in the mix. But thats normal Daryl Stuermer is a very bad guitar player anyway, and doesn't hold a candle to Steve Hackett. And the keyboards sound like a Casio demo. The whole thing sounds as though it was recorded in a cardboard box. If you already have Genesis Live, Seconds Out and Archives Vol.1 stick with them. They are the better live cds As someone who owns practically everything the band has ever released, I can honestly say that I will probably never listen to this cd again.

You don't have Genesis without Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett! Why would they release this, better yet why would they put on this disgrace of a concert!

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 23 of 24 found this helpful. Sure Tony Banks may own the name "Genesis"
But what good is it if there's no real music, and members to back it up!? Is their next show going to be a rap revivial concert??

In which Biafra lays out the left's thoughtful response to the current armed conflict. Clearly, the left is always at a disadvantage in times of war; doubly so when one's country has been attacked. The tendency of a nation to rally around its leaders, unquestioningly, once troops are sent to the firing line is historic, no matter the cause. (From Greek historians like Thucydides, we know it was true in the times of Pericles-and the questioning and the sniping only tends to begin in our side begins to lose, from the Syracuse debacle 2400 years ago to Vietnam.) The first thing you notice here is Biafra's more measured tones, particularly compared to his virulent opposition to the Gulf War a decade ago, one this writer shared; which is appropriate, as one detects in it a measure of respect for the thousands slaughtered in New York and Washington D.C. that clearly demands an appropriate response.
What Biafra concentrates on, then, is just what response is best. Like an aural copy of the better British media outlets The Economist (right) and The Guardian (left), he fills in the blanks the should give the typical war feverists pause. He hits the points where our own past evil doings, so well-known and despised throughout the Islamic middle-east region, but somehow so barely understood here (thank you, crap U.S. media more interested in Jennifer Lopez's ass), helped lead us to this mess. I.E., how our overriding anathema to communism made us get into bed with extremist groups actually far worse in the long run (Afghanistan, which found us aligned with Mujahadeen guerrillas, the eventual Taliban warlords). Or how our insane and shamefully undemocratic coddling of brutal dictators loyal to our geopolitical and business interests, like in Cuba, is what led to their violent overthrow by much worse radicals. (Biafra is correct when he points out that our C.I.A.'s malfeasance in propping up the Shah in Iran in the 1950s is what gave us the far worse Ayatollah and that regime's hostage taking and burning of our flag). In a nutshell, this history is of great importance, as our current war in that region is clearly at risk of stirring up more abhorrent fundamentalist Islam radicalism, in the children and grandchildren of those we pursue now, and those who sympathize with them. Which could leads to even more blatantly irrational, deplorable suicide-for-Allah men, women, and children giving their brainwashed lives just to kill the non-believers ...
