Genesis - Live Liverpool UK 2-3 May 1980 (HD)

[@pataleno]

I walk past this Theatre (Empire Liverpool) daily on my way to work and wish I had a time machine to see this concert. Best band EVER!!!

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

I was at this concert , great memories of this, Kate Bush, squeeze and stiff little fingers all at the Liverpool empire. I miss these kind of shows, concerts. Liverpool has changed so much since then.

[@alistairsloan3686]

Love the KZbin handle. I hear you but it's not just Liverpool that has changed so much. It's all of us, also. As Thomas Wolfe said, you can't go home again. I'm glad I remember this went it was first released.

[@Andy_Byrne]

Adam and the Ants around this time too 😊

[@mellowtron1166]

And here I was thinking that the only Duke tour footage we had was the Lyceum Show. I never knew this footage existed, so thank you for posting this!

[@mickpeters8002]

Oh my. If that full 16mm ever reappears it’ll be overwhelming. Their best tour, imho (I saw them both nights in Birmingham), and despite understandable nostalgia for Pete and Steve (both of whom I saw), and despite the bigger productions of later tours, I think this was the pinnacle.

[@richarddavies8496]

Oh how wonderful. I will enjoy this. The 2nd May was my first ever concert and i have great memories of it. It remains my all time favourite gig and seeing them in Liverpool last year was a nice bookend to all the concerts on every tour inbetween. Thankyou.

[@tommycanadasmobazimmer]

This was also my first concert. Lols. But a few weeks later in Toronto 🇨🇦

[@srirahulpremkumar1600]

Was genesis as big as queen and pink flyod in the uk back in the 70s and 80s?

[@richarddavies8496]

@@srirahulpremkumar1600 yes, if not bigger by 1987 - four concerts at Wembley Stadium.

[@srirahulpremkumar1600]

@@richarddavies8496 how come genesis are never considered as rock “legends”? Also queen had enough ticket demand to sell out Wembley stadium for 6 nights in 1986. But they couldn’t rent the stadium for extra days because the stadium was being used for another purpose. That is why they added an extra show at knebworth park. Also pink flyod was doing stadiums in the 80s as well.

[@jimw6659]

Many thanks for the labour of love and for sharing. Much appreciated!

[@chenz1971]

This was shot by Granada TV, they made a small docu about the band. I think the whole show was filmed, also the promo video for Dutchess was filmed in this theatre.

[@jimmieanido9651]

The sound is crap!!

[@almorad981]

The picture quality is stunning ! Wonderful job !

[@turnerthemanc]

I was at the Sheffield gig 1980. Wonderful.

[@genesisman2317]

Great movie as always, wonderful remastering. Let the collectors who watch, please send to GMusic some unique Genesis video, for example from 1983, 1984 or 1986. :) For sure collectors have something. An appeal to collectors - send directly to Genesis Museum something from those years. Surely GMusic will do it FANTASTIC. Thank you. :))))))))))

[@FabJK4]

Considering all the work and effort yoy guys put into this, i can only say thank you, thank you very much. Old 'new' footage is a treasure for fans.

[@hoisin75]

Phil’s voice on Duchess is incredible here

[@kenjude1]

I loved Duchess on this tour. I was at the rescheduled (from Bournemouth) gig at Southampton Gaumont. All the green lights reflecting off the chrome of the drum hardware were superb. So much energy on this tour in proper venues. It was amazing.

[@tomratcliff3755]

How is this only 20 minutes? I need more.

[@davebellamy4867]

Oh wow! More gold . I love to see live tracks as complete as possible. Just came from the 1978 Stadhalle Vienna gem footage.

[@67philipo]

Amazing clarity and thanks for making the effort to share this with us - when Collins still had his drumming chops..

[@alkebulansan]

this is great, thanks. only wish it were the whole concert. probably the best band in the world, ever.

[@bjj103]

I saw this tour. I vividly remember the Deep In The Motherload opener. The baseline ran for a good while before the rest of the song kicked in and really got the crowd in anticipation. You knew you were in for something good.

[@davebellamy4867]

On the 2nd box set 5 May 1980 version you can hear the In the Cage style clapping and the guy shouting "GET ON WITH IT!" I always wondered whether that was the same dude who screamed the same on the 1984 live NEC video before In The Cage.😂

[@jimhiggU2ube]

Go West Young Man ! My band opened up with this tune at our first show in December '80.... Didn't know until today Genesis had ever opened with DiTML.

[@bjj103]

Yea, and on this tour they played that deep bass opener a good while before the rest of the song kicked in. It was awesome!

[@NickBayley-iq4gb]

Saw this small scale show (still stunning!!) at Friars Aylesbury; March 1980- slept out all night in the old cattle market to get my ticket.

[@IKS-Exploration]

This was totally amazing the duke tour is my favourite. Wish there was full concert in 16mm :) thanks for uploading 😊

[@martinadolfodelapena5063]

Thank you, G Music. Such lovely work. Best wishes from Argentina.

[@leolopez_0728]

This is superb! Thanks for sharing footage from my favorite Genesis tour that I saw two shows in NY and NJ 🙂

[@passtheawksshow]

What a gem! Thank you for this!

[@shawnbrotherhood2642]

Great to see footage from this tour. I saw them in Bradford City Hall after standing outside in a queue with 'new' university friends one cold November night. Wonderful times❤

[@timlinnell4559]

I was here on the 2nd - yellow shirt day - row 2 as I recall. They filmed a fair bit but not all of the concert.

[@markolodeon]

Still holding out hope Tony, Mike and Phil are rummaging through their basements and attics and will release a collection of long, lost tour video recordings. You know there is still stuff we haven’t seen!

[@GenesisMuseum]

There is more stuff we haven't seen than stuff we have seen, so we keep looking

[@tomratcliff3755]

A thousand comments, but how many say it's just a pretty song, about kindness and possibilities? It was never about best, or winning. It was about being kind and understanding that we can only influence, not control. RIP JERRY, ROBERT, and all who left us believing that we could help make the world a better place. There seem to be more challenges everyday, but I believe I am capable of making every person I meets day a bit better, and I refuse to believe doesn't matter.

[@micklemus132]

Brilliant - thank you. Just a shame that there isn't more of this because it beats the footage of the Lyceum show.

[@GenesisMuseum]

Yeah, sort of a rule that the better the footage, the less of it exists :)

[@CharlesWStricklin]

And Then There Were Three… will always remain my favorite Genesis album

[@paulberry8172]

Saw this tour in Blackpool, my introduction to live music I was 15 I'm 61 now and my life as revolved around music, fav band then and still to this day, great memories

[@fingersforey1]

Thanks for sharing this. Great to see again. I was at the Hammersmith Odeon. One of the best shows I’ve ever seen. As a teenager I was blown away and life was changed. Wonderful.🙏

[@alansmith8195]

I saw the Hammersmith and Lyceum dates.... So wonderful to this this, cheers 👍

[@paulstephenson7503]

Yeah remember thinking can concerts get better than this at Hammersmith? Then went and got soaked at Milton Keynes couple of years later…..

[@DougieNelson82]

Gold ❤

[@DML1978]

Wonderful work you did again here! 👌🥰

[@TheLooville]

I saw them on the last night of the UK tour - the rescheduled date at Portsmouth Guildhall. Thanks for sharing this

[@nickadams8952]

Better quality than the lyceum gig IMHO. Terrific.

[@WintersWar]

I love watching phil during the duet, his foot on the bass drum keeping perfect time.

[@skinner5334]

The BEST of the best. Fabulous.

💙What a concert that must have been!😍 Loved those songs and Phil's drumming!Nice seeing the guys off-stage for a moment. Omg Phil banging on Mike's head!🤣 #getphilvotedin 🐐

[@neilharrison8731]

Yes it was just before they turned their style to pop ,and still had the huge Gabriel following , still. It was a great memory.

[@davidspencer6384]

If time travel existed, I'd go back to 1980 and see this tour.

[@GenesisMuseum]

Bring a camera!

I Was at Frejus september 81..unforgetable!!❤

[@davegebbings7632]

Thanks for all these .. Excellent,

[@blahblahblah742]

I was at these shows, I'm sure there was a sunday afternoon matinee too? I virtually lived at The Liverpool Empire from '76-mid 80's, saw so many bands & all for less than £4.00, now my son 's band sell out the empire every year, crazy world!

[@steveaustin7306]

Excellent. Ty. Saw the show a week or 2 later

[@neilharrison8731]

They loved Liverpool so much the built a studio , near back of concert square , its a bar now.

[@hqrsyd]

My Favourite Genesis Period, Love Phils Grit and work here.

[@bradyhogan6366]

Chester is so good. What a band.

[@greg-warsaw4708]

I just wanted to say the same thing: Chester's drumming is impressive!

[@MatChew75]

This is when Phil Collins voice was at its best during Duke and abacab but my favorite album by them is Trick of the tail those are some of the best shows with Bill bruford on drums.... coming to you from Louisiana. And then there were three is pretty good too and I dig some of the stuff off the self-titled album from 83 but from 76 to 82 they were one of the best live bands you will ever see

[@ianferris254]

I was at the second night in The Manchester Apollo, two weeks previous to this, on 19th April 1980. I'd absolutely love it if some video footage (or even just some audio) of that show surfaced here on KZbin.....

[@srirahulpremkumar1600]

Was genesis as big as queen and led zeppelin in the uk back in the 70s and 80s?

[@andrewwillan3372]

I was at the Friday night show. A great evening. Burt a shame I missed the 76-77 shows.

[@srirahulpremkumar1600]

Was genesis as big as queen and pink flyod in the uk back in the 70s and 80s?

[@TimJackson-eq6iy]

Unfortunately I never got to see them live in person. All these concerts footage from throughout the years, more than makes up for it.

[@tommycanadasmobazimmer]

Saw this in Toronto in June 1980. One of the two sold out shows of 17,000 each at Maple Leaf Gardens

[@artisfilms6237]

Nice restoration job.

Empire Theatre, Liverpool. Scene of the filming of the Duchess video clip.

[@adeypop1]

Never seen this before!

[@jwdauer]

Whats not to love?

[@greg-warsaw4708]

At 13:40 Phil drops a drumstick and, like a gunslinger, draws a replacement one in a blink of an eye, without any loss to the stuff he's playing.

[@MagratheaLegend]

If you look closely, he is seen examining the stick before he chucks it for a new one! Good spot!

[@WayneRichardson-e4y]

They also played Sheffield which must have been before Liverpool as Phil is wearing the red sneakers which he purchased from Sheffield on the afternoon of the show. Happy memories.

[@beatleowl]

Really nice!

[@DML1978]

@G Music: This guy here (El Escondite Records / Marcelo Diz) is really getting annoying. As well as he rips off your material here as soon as you post it, just for example the Liverpool video from 1980 you did so much hard work on it, kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmnComd8msece9U, he does the same with my audio files. ☹️ He is simply reposting the material on his channel in a far lower quality. I don't see the thing there.🤔🙄 I read about it, as you complained to him for doing the same to your Montreux 1987 video. Is there a possibility to block that guy from our channels? Would be great to hear from you about this matter. 🎶 Best musical wishes. David

[@GenesisMuseum]

Hello David, no there is no way to prevent this. The only solution is to promote our work as soon as possible. He has very few views and will rarely show up in any YT search.

[@DML1978]

@@GenesisMuseum Thanks for your answer. Well that is what I will do then, thanks 😉 Best musical wishes. 🎶

[@davidhaspell6417]

Think Phil wore that yellow shirt every night of the Duke tour!

[@MatChew75]

It's too bad they don't play the whole freaking songs from these shows

[@Radarcb329]

Why put any compression on this?

[@GenesisMuseum]

If you mean audio compression, we sometimes use a small amount in the upper-mids because it brings out the percussion (snare, cymbals, etc) in some older tapes that can sound muffled or dull. However, we make all of these projects to sound and look best to us, and may not match everyone's preferences. In addition, KZbin uses low bitrates and high compression that can affect the results as well.

[@Radarcb329]

@ Thanks, I did mean audio compression.

[@creativologist1813]

I like the part where they got lost. Oh wait ..
