I am sure this has been heard before, but a friend of mine just sent me the video and I am loving this. The Elder absolutely needs a 3 CD Deluxe.
I am loving the piano here:

I The Elder absolutely needs a 3 CD Deluxe. If that happened I would need to spend the rest of my life washing my underwear. I'd love to hear the dialogue between tracks that helps to explain the story and Ace's unedited solos. I wonder if there are any early takes of Odyssey or I with Eric on drums rather than Allan Schwartzbeg?

If you were only allowed to listen to 4 albums for the rest of your life, would The Elder be one of them?

It must piss you off when Paul or Gene dismiss it as something they shouldn't have ever done. Bad Genesis talk or whatever.

They're allowed their opinion of their own work, but I would appreciate it if they acknowledged that some people like it.
When the cameras or voice recorders aren't rolling, I'm sure Gene is much fonder of the album than his public persona or Paul will ever let him admit. It disappoints me that they both equate quality with commercial success or record sales.

If The Elder was a smashing success, would you want Elder II, III, IV as long as it was successful or do you feel that The Elder was a great change of direction, but they really need to get back to more a more familiar KISS sound?

Compared with The Elder, the more familiar KISS sound bores me. That's one of many reasons I don't rate the 70s albums very highly. On The Elder they really pushed themselves to do something special, and they deserve credit for that ieven if the results didn't achieve what they hoped.

I mean more familiar even in the sense of the Vinnie Vincent years into albums that you do love like Asylum.
