Three Sides Live (video)

"Three Sides Live" is a 1982 concert film of the "Abacab" tour by British rock band Genesis. It tied in with the double live album of the same name. The songs featured are mostly from the group's then most recent albums "Duke" and "Abacab", plus a medley that comprises extracts from "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" ("In the Cage" and "The Colony of Slippermen") and "Selling England by the Pound" ("The Cinema Show"), leading into "Afterglow" from "Wind & Wuthering".

The live performances, filmed at Nassau Colisseum in Long Island and the Savoy Theater in New York City are interspersed with interviews with Hugh Fielder and footage of the group travelling with their crew and families. Fielder would later publish an anthology of band interviews ("The Book of Genesis") in 1984. The performance of "Turn It On Again" was included on the 1988 compilation "Genesis Videos Volume 2" in place of the original promotional film. The performance of "Man on the Corner" is used as its promotional video and was also included on "Genesis Videos Volume 2" and is also featured on the 2004 compilation DVD "Genesis The Video Show", and on the bonus DVD of the 2007 re-release of Abacab.

First released in 1982, "Three Sides Live" was later reissued, on both VHS and laserdisc, in October 1991. Unlike The Way We Walk - Live in Concert and "Live at Wembley Stadium" it has not yet been made available on DVD.
