Unlike many bands that evolve over the years, Genesis morphed from its early, progressive rock beginnings into a stadium act in the 1980s and 1990s, one that could also be found in heavy rotation on MTV-appearing, at least on the surface, to have deserted its art rock roots. While Davis' work on the previous boxes-1970-1975 (Rhino, 2008), 1976-1982 (Rhino, 2007) and 1983-1998-has been the subject of some controversy, Live 1973-2007 is going to be the most contentious box amongst hardcore Genesis fans, for a number of reasons. These begin with Genesis Live (Charisma, 1973) and end with The Way We Walk-originally issued as two separate releases, The Shorts (Atlantic, 1992) and The Longs (Atlantic, 1993). With all of British mega-group Genesis' studio discography now available in remixed/remastered form, including 5.1 surround mixes and a bevy of bonus audio and video features, the only commercial material left to receive engineer Nick Davis' careful attention is its series of four live albums.
