That's just not good for the soul.

>>RE:    In all fairness, back in the 70's. I attended a fair share of concerts here in Cleveland, especially Genesis  including their first U.S. tour,  got to work on stage for that one,  and cannot remember any concert that would top them for overall quality, one of the few groups in my opinion that sounded as good live as on record. The "Lamb" tour was my favorite, Showco did staging, and I have yet to experience anything that could top "Los Endos" with the fog machines pumping upward and the Vari-lites sweeping upwards in unison with the Choir knocking down the walls.  A close second and third would be Earth Wind and Fire Sphynx and ELO out of the blue tours, both again staged by Showco.  Like or dislike Genesis, they consistently put out quality albums, gave quality concerts, and few groups past or present have accomplished that status.   ....
