Seconds Out is a live double album by Genesis, released in October 1977. The
performances were recorded in Paris in 1976 and 1977 on their tour in
support of A Trick of the Tail and Wind & Wuthering. At the end of several
songs the crowd can be heard encouraging the band to play another song by
chanting "Une autre!" which literally means "another one".
Seconds Out is the band's second live album following Genesis Live in 1973.
While the earlier live set had been released by the band's label to mark time
while they recorded Selling England by the Pound, Seconds Out was planned
as a major release, an authoritative document of Genesis' sound with Phil
Collins as frontman and lead vocalist. The recording includes former Weather
Report drummer Chester Thompson at the start of his long tenure as concert
drummer for the band. Former Yes and King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford, the
first drummer to take over for Collins on the stage after Gabriel's departure,
is featured on "The Cinema Show". Guitarist Steve Hackett left the band
during mid-1977 as Seconds Out was being mixed. A critical and commercial
success, the album hit #4 in the UK and #47 in the US, where their popularity
was still gaining steam.
Seconds Out is commonly regarded as the end of Genesis' progressive rock
era, as they would begin exploring shorter and more direct song formats
beginning with their next studio release, …And Then There Were Three…,
which would prove to be their American breakthrough album. To many fans,
this live set is notable for its combination of classic Gabriel-era songs redone
by the musical virtuosity of the later Genesis, mixed with favourites from the
first two post-Gabriel releases.
