Genesis/Canada 12.05.1981 Complete Soundboard Edition

This newly discovered stereo soundboard recording captures the December 5th performance in Ottawa, Canada, from the 1981 North American tour supporting the release of “Abacab.” First, it was recorded directly from the master mixer, thanks to a leak from the relevant parties. This unprocessed sound is incredibly realistic, clearly reproducing even the subtle nuances of the band’s ensemble. Furthermore, even the missing inter-song sections are complemented by premium audience recordings, resulting in a complete 2-hour, 15-minute rendition of the day’s performance. While the official “Three Sides Live” recording of this period also exists, this North American leg, which took place a few weeks before the original, includes tracks from the album that are not officially included, such as “No Reply At All,” “Man On The Corner,” and “Who Dunnit?” While the direct mixboard recording somewhat lacks the live feel, some tracks, like “Me & Sarah Jane,” have never been performed live since this tour, making this a valuable live recording and highly valuable resource.
