Album Introduction
Three Sides Live is the second live album by Genesis — Phil Collins (drums and vocals), Tony Banks (keyboards) and Mike Rutherford (guitar and bass) — released in 1982 on Charisma Records. The album reached No. 2 on the UK Albums Chart. Recorded during the Abacab tour, the UK double-LP version features four sides of live material spanning the band's career from the progressive rock era of The Fountain of Salmacis and Watcher of the Skies to the pop-rock era of Turn It On Again, Abacab, Follow You Follow Me and Misunderstanding. The 13-track album demonstrates Genesis's ability to combine progressive rock musicianship with their later melodic pop-rock sound, capturing the energy and atmosphere of the band on stage during one of their most commercially successful periods. Presented in a gatefold sleeve.
Stand-Out Tracks
- Turn It On Again — One of the most immediately recognisable recordings in the Genesis catalogue and a centrepiece of the live set; its combination of a driving, pop-rock production and Collins's completely assured vocal gives it a sustained commercial appeal that captures the energy of the band on stage.
- Abacab — The title track of the preceding studio album and one of the most immediately energetic and commercially effective recordings on the live set; its combination of a driving, rock-influenced production and the band's ensemble performance gives it a sustained energy that demonstrates Genesis's ability to combine progressive ambition with pop directness.
- In the Cage / Afterglow — One of the live set's most musically ambitious and atmospherically distinctive sequences; a slow-building, progressive rock medley that demonstrates the band's ability to sustain dramatic tension across an extended musical sequence and gives the album one of its most emotionally weighty moments.
- The Fountain of Salmacis — A track from the Peter Gabriel era and one of the live set's most atmospherically distinctive and musically ambitious recordings; its combination of a driving, layered production and the band's ensemble performance gives it a sustained dramatic tension that demonstrates the band's progressive rock heritage.
- Follow You Follow Me — One of the most melodically generous and commercially effective recordings in the Genesis catalogue; its combination of a warm, pop-rock production and Collins's completely assured vocal gives it a romantic directness that captures the warmth and generosity of the band's live performance.
