    Notes: One of the pleasant surprises in the 2007 live set was without doubt Ripples. Many had not expected that one of the stand-out tracks from the Trick album would be played again on what was - at the time - probably the last Genesis tour. Ripples paved the way in 1976: Genesis were now in a position to produce the songs in a more compact way and to make them musically punk. Ripples contains "The Best Of Both Worlds", so to speak?

    cheers
