Groenoordhal, Leiden

From Italian master tapes.

This recording comes from the master an Italian taper recorded in Leiden in 1981. He hadn't shared his recording until I seeded a different recording from this show as part of a series of Dutch Genesis shows in the summer of 2005. He send me a sound sample of "Dodo", he asked me how his recording sounded compared to the version I seeded. It completely blew away my version. I wasn't familiar with the best versions available for the show, so I send the mp3 to some of the members of the official forum. Their reaction was just as enthusiastic. I mailed the taper back about all the enthusiastic reactions, and asked him if he could seed his recording on dimeadozen.org, the torrent appeared a couple of days later. Following are the taper's release notes that came with that original torrent: Both plug-ins used in remastering this project have been used not to alter the sound but to simply add a wee bit more spark to it. I have edited out a couple of my very own shouts - the most annoying and/or embarrassing ones... - but most have remained untouched. The only other part missing from this recording is the beginning of ÇAfterglowÈ, as I had to change tape: rather than fading out and fading back in the track, I decided to leave the abrupt cut as it was in the final edit. To be honest, if it weren't for Dimeadozen/Eazytree, I probably would have left going back to my own master tape for another 25 years. But I tried and digitized a small sample, sent it to a previous seeder of this very same show, and asked for an opinion on the quality and wether it would be worth bringing it out at all. The response was - and I quote - Çit's a major improvement over the currently available versionsÈ. Quality wise it has been classified as an A- (though that surprises me: in my book this would be a B at the most, but my grades are much more strict than what I find usually). Anyway, I did spend a couple of nights & days trying to bring out the best in my old cassettes and now the results are here for you to - hopefully - enjoy them. My feeble attempt at art direction is also included. [mdekoning]

Just to hear Phil's rage!!! G. [Gigio67]

Sounds very upfront and you can hear all of Phil's in between talk quite clearly. A very memorable recording as part of their history; though I am sure the boys would rather forget it ever happened. :) [duke23]

Different source to other recordings

Remastered about as best as I could given the quality of the source.

Quality of this recording leaves somethingto be desired [alanh]

The infamous "booing" concert

Includes TIOA which is not on my other version

I was at this show, courtesy of the official Genesis Fan Club (UK) which had organised a package comprising of travel by bus/boat, a night in an Amsterdam hotel and, of course, a ticket to the show. Inside the old cattle market hall there was almost a football/soccer atmosphere with the English fans singing well-before (and sometimes during) the show, and waving flags. Even more bizarre was all the booing that followed much of new material, especially after Whodunnit -- in stark contrast to the cheering for nearly everything else, reaching deafening levels at the end in hopes of another encore. They kept the lights off for a long time afterwards, as if to tease us into cheering still louder and longer, but it was not to be. I guess that was their way of getting the crowd back. Before the show I met a guy who had two mics tucked up his sleeves and a pretty decent portable cassette recorder. We listened to his tape on the bus journey back -- I wonder if this is the same recording...? [VariousArtist]

High generation - poor quality.
