On this day in 1977, Genesis released its Seconds Out double live album. Most of the songs recorded for what would be Steve Hackett's last album as a member of the band came from concerts recorded that June in Paris at the Palais des Sports. Hackett quit during the final mixing sessions for the lp. Phil Collins is said to have seen the guitarist walking away from the studio as he was driving there. Unaware Hackett had quit, Collins offered him a ride back to the studio, but he declined. Hackett later admitted that, had he gotten in the car, Collins would probably been able to convince he to stay in the group.
