4.0 out of 5 stars Live album that doubles as a Greatest Hits album, January 29, 2003

This review is from: Live: We Walk 1--Shorts (Audio CD)

This is an unusual live album, in that all of the 11 songs were singles. All of the songs are from the "Genesis", "Invisible Touch", and "We Can't Dance" albums (recorded on the stadium tour for the latter album), and since these albums included nearly all of Genesis' biggest hits, the album doubles as a Greatest Hits album. This nudges it up half a star. The album works best when combined with "The Longs" album (the long songs from the tour) in your CD programmer or on a tape.

My favorite cuts are "Throwing It All Away", with an endearing call-and-response between Phil Collins and the audience at the start and end, "Jesus He Knows Me", given a brief guitar solo and Collins' patter at the end, and "In Too Deep", which just comes off sounding better than on the original album. "Mama" loses a verse, and "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight" is stopped in mid-song to go into a closer of "Invisible Touch". The pacing gets thrown off a little with a late album sequence of "Hold On My Heart" (by far the weakest song here), "That's All", and "In Too Deep"--"That's All"'s mid-tempo isn't enough to perk things up between these two slow ballads. The closing section of "No Son of Mine" seems to be begging to be sped up a little, but it doesn't happen. This may be a side-effect of most of these songs being written using drum machines; the same MIDI click track was probably being used to run the light show.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Compilation of Genesis Hits, September 1, 2000

This is a good live album. The recording quality is excellent and Phil's vocals soar. I would give this album 4.5 stars just because I'm not very partial to 80's Genesis songs. Invisible touch, Jesus he knows me, Mama, and No Son of Mine are excellent however. I would recommend "The Longs" over this if you are more into old Genesis.
