Lucky you!

Thanks for the news! Not shure either of the surprises on this box.

Of course there are rumours that there will be a dvd-box too. Some discussions about the live-box can be found over here.

There's some German news on this page telling that the live dvd box will be released in November this year.

The 5.1 version of Seconds Out is great! So are the extra track on Genesis Live, early live recordings from The Lamb. The complete Rainbow-concert (complete on DVD-A, not on CD) is one of the treasures from this box. I don't care very much for Three Sides Live and The Way We Walk. Both are just available as normal CD's; on the sticker Virgin reports that the DVD-version (in 5.1) will be available in the December DVD-box. There's also space for Live In Europe, but this 2007-tour couldn't do much for me, so I won't buy that one. Maybe the three CD/DVD-A-titles (Live, Seconds Out, Rainbow) will be released separately, so people won't have to buy this expensive box, but I have my doubts they will release Rainbow like that.

Following the release of Genesis Live 1973-2007, a box-set gathering the live albums recorded by the legendary British group, with the added bonus of Live at the Rainbow 1973, and the critically-acclaimed Hybrid CD/SACD and DVD double disc set reissue of the 14 Genesis studio albums on the box-sets Genesis 1976 - 1982 and Genesis 1983 - 1998 in 2007, and Genesis 1970 - 1975 last year, Virgin/EMI will conclude its exhaustive rerelease programme of the Genesis catalogue with Genesis - The Movie Box on 9 November 2009.

The 5 DVD box-set, with new 2009 5.1 DTS and Dolby Digital sound mixes, makes available on DVD for the very first time The Mama Tour and Three Sides Live. The full box includes:

Three Sides Live *, the concert film shot in the US and released in tandem with the live album of the same title, which made the Top Ten on both sides of the Atlantic in 1982. Contains extra full length tracks in 5.1 Audio only.

Genesis Live - The Mama Tour *, filmed in 1984 at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham, and featuring the band performing material from the chart-topping Genesis album. Also featuring 'The Making of the Mama Album,' a home video filmed by Phil Collins during the making of the Genesis album.

Genesis Live at Wembley Stadium, shot during the group's record-breaking run of four sold-out concerts in July 1987, at the height of their popularity following the release of the number one album Invisible Touch. The DVD also features the tour documentary entitled 'Visible Touch.'

Genesis: The Way We Walk - Live in Concert, filmed in 1992 at London's Earls Court Exhibition Centre, and issued alongside the Top 3 albums Live - The Way We Walk Volume One: The Shorts and Volume Two: The Longs.

Bonus material alongside the Mama Documentary comes in the shape of the updated 2009 version ofVH1 Behind the Music special about the band. The original version aired in December 1999.

* Available on DVD for the first time.

Bought the Movie-box too. It had a nice reduced price, so I could complete my Genesis-box serie for my birthday

Not a bad birthday present hehe. Congrats ..a bit late..to your birthday, steamingears!

Thanks. Like many old fans I reached 50!

Back to the box. I had the chance to watch the first disc, Three Sides Live. To my surprise it isn't the same as the old double LP (side 1-3), it's in fact a real documentary with some of the songs plus a lot of interviews and shots from the building of the stage (you know, the usual stuff). Some tracks have been cut off by this. Those songs plus the songs that aren't in the documentary (but were on the LP's) have also received the 5.1 mix and are added as audio-only tracks. The show itself was a powerful one and Collins still wasn't too much of a showman (although it started to show). Too bad the Seconds Out movie (which is out there somewhere) wasn't included. Well, next one is the Mama-tour.

Question remains: should I also buy the Beatles-Box? Got some more money - you become 50 only once
