Genesis BBC Broadcasts is an extensive collection of broadcast material from one of the biggest selling recording artists of all time and one of Britain's most internationally renowned bands. Curated by founder member Tony Banks and the groups long-time engineer and producer Nick Davis it is available as a 53-track 5-CD set and 24-track triple LP.

These collections represent the cream of the groups work recorded by the BBC between 1970 and 1998, and it includes contributions from all three of the groups vocalists, Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins and Ray Wilson. With notes by author Michael Hann, and packaged with a 40-page booklet, BBC Broadcasts contains favourites such as Home By The Sea, Mama, Duchess, Carpet Crawlers, No Son Of Mine Turn It On Again and many more.

With only a handful of these tracks previously officially available, Genesis BBC Broadcasts acts as both a collectors cornucopia and an alternative greatest hits. Stretching from the very beginnings of the bands career via appearances on Night Ride and John Peel, the set encompasses both of the groups Knebworth performances (78 and 92) as well as their much-loved 1980 show at Londons Lyceum, and triumphant sell-out run of shows at Wembley in 1987.

Rounded out by material from the NEC in 1998 and Paris Theatre and Nightride sessions from the early 70s, as well as the much sought-after encore version of Watcher Of The Skies at Wembley Empire Pool in 1975, Genesis BBC Broadcasts is a veritable treasure trove.

    I bought the Genesis BBC Broadcasts set of CDs. I haven’t had time to listen to any of them, but I know that I am going to LOVE having these recordings. Genesis has LONG been at the TOP of my list of favorite musical bands. Cheers!

    I love choices of songs. Even when it's not the whole concert the ones that are there are a very good sample. Love the packaging and interviews and stories that go with it.

    Nice that it covers a large portion of the band's career. Expectations for this release are all over the place, forgetting the title "BBC Broadcasts"... so not entire concerts, but tracks used in broadcasts (for example, the "BBC Rock Hour" show used about 50 minutes of live material, not the full concert...). So what we have here is a "selection" of tracks. The packaging is nice (the little cardboard sleeves could have been just a little bit bigger so the disc could slide in/out more easily), the documentation and photos in the booklet give a nice complement to the music. Like many, I too would buy complete concerts (yes, I don't care that some tracks would appear multiple times; I also don't care if some have been released on other official prior releases and/or boxsets). Overall, a nice product containing almost 6 hours of (usually) great music.

    A well packaged, tightly produced and thoughtfully composed compilation of tracks. I was nicely surprised at the sound quality, especially from the '70's selections. It was great to see/hear most of my favorites...including THE favorite "Afterglow"...were included. But the best part of the whole bundle was hearing the band progress and grow over the years. I wasn't a fan of "Calling All Stations" but the two selections included changed my opinion of that iteration of the group. All in all, this sixth "official" live album...which includes the Cleveland sound desk concert of September 29, 2007...proved to be a welcome addition to my Genesis library and well worth the cost. I just hope there are a few more nuggets in the archives that can be dusted off and offered to the faithful. Thanks...Turn It On Again...Keep Calm And Rock On!!!

    I like the selections which are in great quality. There is one very underrated song that I hoped to be included: “Down and Out”. Here is hoping that we will see the release of more rarities.
