''Seconds Out'' is a live double album by Genesis, released in October 1977. It reached No.4 in the UK, remaining in the charts for 17 weeks.〔(Genesis UK chart history ), The Official Charts Company. Retrieved 27 June 2012.〕 The performances were recorded in Paris in 1976 and 1977 on their tours 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 translates as "one more". ==History== ''Seconds Out'' is the band's second live album following 1973's ''Genesis Live''. While the earlier live set had been released 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/Frank Zappa 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, played drums on the band's 1976 tour, from which the recording of "The Cinema Show" was taken. Thompson replaced Bruford on the band's 1977 tour, which was the source of all other songs on the album. Guitarist Steve Hackett left the band during mid-1977 as ''Seconds Out'' was being mixed. Phil Collins recalls that one day he was driving to Trident Studios in London and saw Hackett walking, so he stopped and offered him a lift, to which he declined. When he got to the studio, Banks and Rutherford told him he just phoned to tell them he was leaving the band. Hackett later recalled that he thought if he got in the car, Collins would have been the one person to talk him out of leaving. On the ''Genesis – A History'' video (1990), Tony Banks jokes that, after Hackett announced his departure from the band, "we just mixed him out of the rest of the album and that was it, really". In actuality, Hackett's lead guitar is clearly audible in the released album. During a radio interview after the album release, Collins stated that most of the 1977 sections were taken from the third of the five-night run at the Palais des Sports in Paris from 13 June 1977, which was also recorded and broadcast in part by French radio RTL. The album's credits include details of which drummer(s) are playing on each song. Mixed in with these credits are the notes "Robbery Assault & Battery – keyboard solo Phil" and "Cinema Show – Bill Bruford, Phil keyboard solo". This should be read to mean that Collins played the drum kit (along with Thompson or Bruford) during that solo, not that Collins played keyboards. A critical and commercial success, the album hit No. 4 in the UK and No. 47 in the U.S., where their popularity was still gaining steam. Until ''Genesis Archive 1967-75'' (1998), ''Seconds Out'' contained the only official live recording of Genesis concert staple "Supper's Ready". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Seconds Out」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
