Reviews Customer Reviews for Live The Way We Walk VOLUME TWO THE LONGS      ear candy---mmm,mmm,mmm!      Rating:      Such layered synths, with booming sound and semi-jangly, humming sweet-sumptuous, rich CRANKED guitar...oooh, I love it! The songs could be better; "Driving The Last Spike" does kind of dwindle on, but who can resit "Domino" or ESPECIALLY - the spine-tingling highlight - "Home By The Sea/Second Home By The Sea"?!??!, the best live version I've ever heard (bear in mind though I'm too young to have been to a Genesis concert, although if I had $200++ to spare, I might have been able to catch them on their reunion tour; gosh, I hope they make another album! Go to genesis-music.com to find a piece about Tony Banks saying they **MIGHT** do it...) anyway, it's not perfect. If you don't get a kick out of hearing live music, I'd suggest buying ABACAB, INVISIBLE TOUCH and then this one. Then you can go back and hear SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND, WIND & WUTHERING, possibly THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY (which a lot of people don't like as much 'cause it has a bunch of atmospheric instrumental pieces...). Of course, if you're of the vinyl era, and weren't aware of Peter Gabriel's invovlement in Genesis, you prolly wanna just stick to TURN IT ON AGAIN: THE HITS. If you were of the vinyl era and DO know who Peter Gabriel is and appreciate his work, then the immediately above paragraph most likely doesn't apply to you, since you probably already own ALL of Genesis' music from the Gabriel era and little if anything from the Collins' era. The recommendations in the above paragraph are mainly aimed at curious youngsters (I'm 24 and didn't get into early Genesis until I was about 18), although there seem to be fewer and fewer of us, admittedly. goonight! ~Jonathan Cardwell     Customer Reviews for Live The Way We Walk VOLUME TWO THE LONGS Cd      A great snapshot of Genesis' 1992 tour PART TWO!      Rating:      Genesis' 19th album entitled The Way We Walk Volume Two (The Longs) was released in February of 1993. This live album was recorded on different dates on the band's We Can't Dance tours in 1992. The second of this two-part series of live albums from the height of the band's peak of popularity as a three piece (lead singer/drummer Phil Collins, guitarist/bass player Mike Rutherford and keyboard player Tony Banks (plus help from drummer Chester Thompson and guitarist/bass player Daryl Stuermer in concert)) focuses on the band's longer tracks from 1971-1992 and the songs are, in most cases, superior to their studio counterparts. We begin with "The Old Medley". First, is a stellar piece of "Dance On a Volcano" before segueing into a piece of "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" (which neither of the aforementioned sections had not been played since 1981). We go into the ending of "The Musical Box" (which features fiery guitar work from Stuermer and had not been played since 1982). Next, we segue into the middle section of "Firth of Fifth" which has killer duel drumming from Collins and Thompson and Stuermer's guitar playing on fire. We end the medley with "I Know What I Like" (which has pieces of "That's All"/"Illegal Alien"/"Your Own Special Way"/"Follow You Follow Me"/"Stagnation) and a great version and Phil's tambourine dance was unreal on this. We then have "Driving the Last Spike" which is a great version. Next is "Domino" and trumps the studio version. Next is a great version of "Fading Lights" in where the band shines in the middle section with great playing from Banks/Collins/Rutherford. Next is "Home By the Sea (Parts 1 and 2)" and a great version. We end the disc with Collins and Thompson's legendary "Drum Duet". The Way We Walk - The Longs reached #20 in the US but unfortunately didn't sell as well as Part One. I say, as a Genesis fans, buy both parts and combine the tracks to make a great live album from the 1992 tour. Recommended!
