They were truly great!!!!!❤️

Recently watched the Rome 2007 show. Great Stuff and an audience of 500000 thousnd.

[@filmneye]

This is a rare tribute film of early Genesis at the height of their musical prowess. Thank you for this rare footage.

[@massimolombardi1367]

listening to Phil Collins' explosive, intricate, lightning-fast and technical drumming during the Sebtp tour in 1974 is an incredible experience.

[@TheProgCorner]

Best live band ever.

[@JohnMacRae23]

Don't mind the morons in the comments about the quality... true fans know what work goes into this and it's truly appreciated.

[@allen-rp3gm]

I remember first getting this on VHS in like 1989. It had a terrible jitter problem. This is magnificent by comparison.

[@GretaNewWorld]

Seeing what's going on with Peter during The Battle Of Epping Forest is absolutely adorable. Thank you!

[@stephenmathes1]

can't imagine this didn't just absolutely blow some people away who could grasp the brilliance of what they were seeing...at their prime early power...so unique and special...what a performance!!!

[@jrbird7571]

One would have thought. My sister said that a concert that she went to in Atlanta in the early 70s, they were booed. Folks weren't ready for them - I guess.

[@filmneye]

@@jrbird7571 Yes, Genesis were way ahead of their time, esp. in America.

[@1gregalbert]

I was at this show and was totally blown away. The crowds response at this small 3,000 seat venue was thunderous!

[@skeezix64]

Thank you for this! I never get tired of discovering new early Genesis footage. The stuff from Epping Forest is priceless.

[@dogmatronic]

What I love about this period of Genesis is the unique combination of individuals working so well to create a totally unique sound and vision. A brilliant example of working together for a common goal without loosing each separate identity.

[@mourningknightprog]

Absolute pure f-ing gold! This would've been an amazing show to see. Peter seems more animated than normal in spots and it's great to see footage of him wearing that large helmet during Ikhnaton and Itsacon is amazing. So much greatness here I wish it was the whole show!

[@Rasputin443556]

This is incredible. Epping Forest must have been fun as hell to watch live.

[@spiritof6663]

I've never seen this footage before and it does not disappoint!! For uber-fans it's like a mini holy grail. The synch with the audio is totally outstanding...I don't know how you guys do it so accurately!

[@pamelabublitz9312]

I am continually hooked & floored by the amazing accurate drive of this rhythm team Mike Rutherford Philip David Charles Collins & Tony Banks. Thank you for sharing this clip!

[@ashbourne8715]

Phil was an incredible drummer.

Thanks for sharing. Love seeing them do the Black Show version on this tour. Musically amazing.

[@GC-GrahamCollins]

Always breathtaking & remarkable to see these nuggets. Thank you to Louis for the film & you for the restoration. Moments we live for, brilliant! 😎👍

[@briandunkle]

To echo everyone else, thanks for all of these. I was only 5 at this point, so I missed the heyday of a lot of my favorite bands, especially Genesis. I really enjoy and appreciate these glimpses back.

[@GenesisMuseum]

Films like these are our only time machine

[@mikereiss4216]

I was 4. Who else did (or do) you like?

[@Rob801]

I was 9 so still too young. My first Genesis Concert wasn't till Duke in 80 (my very first concert was Yes Tourmato in 78... am sorry I missed Genesis in 78, they were just appearing on my radar at the time). I saw Steve Hackett last Friday (the 13) in L.A. playing Seconds Out (and more) which was the first Genesis album I ever bought. It was a great, long, and emotional show actually hearing Steve play all those incredible songs for the first time. Loved this clip. Some really great Phil moments, and though I have seen a bit of the "Genesis Live" era footage I think this is some of the most animated and varied Gabrial footage I have seen in one place.

[@Shockzone1495]

Man Phil was a beast on drums. Nobody could ever come close to his grooves and technique he used. On top of that he had such a brilliant voice while he was working his way through every song while on drums. Unfortunately talent like that could never get popular like that again these days.

[@rael6_4wd]

I discovered them later that year. What an amazing group. Legends!… 🔥

[@1gregalbert]

So cool to see this footage. I was at Long Beach Arena watching yes perform tales of topographic oceans the night before and the guy sitting next to me said you got to go see Genesis at the Santa Monica Civic tomorrow night. They blow the doors off what yes just performed”. Yes sewer consummate musicians and put on amazing show. Needless to say, I was skeptical. To this day almost 50 years later, and many many shows later. Genesis performance that night is probably the most memorable. They totally blew me away. P.S. Seeing Steve Hackett on 11/18.

[@CEPAIVA]

I just stumbled on this historical gem many thanks for the post! I just can't imagine the audience of 1974, in Cali was just witnessing the meteoric rise of the most prolific rock prog band under their puzzled eyes, ears, and minds!

[@MediaWest]

to have 8mm with sound in 74 was a big deal. this is great, thanks for sharing. i shot 5 rolls of 35mm but sadly years ago they were lost in a basement flood...

[@GenesisMuseum]

we try to find, digitize, restore, and archive this material but sadly much of it was lost

[@geoffreydowen5793]

[@philipbunney9445]

Another fantastic find. Always wanted to see that head gear used at 11:15 & to see young, shy Hackett standing at the end of ‘Supper’s Ready’ accompanying Peter is a euphoric moment. His red flares are a piece of art in themselves! As always, Thank you !

It's crazy, no one can sit for 2 minutes!

[@briandunkle]

Today it’s more like stop taking video and put your cell phone away so I can enjoy the show…it’s really annoying sometimes. At the same time, for some concerts (especially the larger ones) you end up with a few people in the front getting great stuff. I’d love to see front row, high quality videos of some of these shows.

[@_PrimetimePranks]

I used to have small clips of this show on VHS ages ago. I miss trading tapes through the mail !

[@GenesisMuseum]

This is from a different night than the VHS source. They played 2 nights in Santa Monica.

[@ashbourne8715]

Magnificent! Wow! What I wud give to have seen this show. I was in 9th grade. Thanks to my older brother, a musician and possessed an amazing album collection, I fell I love with this band. I remember I had to move from LI Ny to a suburb off Scranton. I wore my Genesis t shirts to school and people never heard of them. Love this recording and thank you. Gave me goosebumps. Check out the Musical Box if you haven’t already.

[@progrockdocs]

This is marvelous. Well done on cleaning up and synching up the sound. A superb job.

[@bobbrown8155]

Wow. This is amazing. I watch all old Genesis clips. This has some elements I had never seen. Thank you.

[@krismurphy7711]

I was in 7th Grade....living 2 hours south of this concert....not a fan yet. 4 years later...in San Diego....I was there....and a FAN!!!!!!!

[@fegwahi5931]

Amazing historic document, thanks so much for this labor of love! Well done. Great to see the originals performing live, in particular The Battle of Epping Forest, a rarity! For all of you who didn't get to see Genesis, check out The Musical Box whenever possible, they recreate Genesis live, from Foxtrot to A Trick of the Tail, approved by Genesis.

AMAZING AS ALWAYS

[@watcherofthedrums]

If I was given the choice to go back in time for 1 tour I would pick this one, the 1974 Selling England. Yet, even with web and youtube memorabilia and rares, there seems to be more emphasis on "before" (earliest days) and "after" (The Lamb). SEBTP was a peak without equals :-(

[@hedgilboavideos]

Fantastic!

[@BeaujolaisDay]

Amazing

[@welshhibby]

I liked the light saber bit at the end !

[@filmneye]

I'll bet George Lucas got the idea of the Jedi 'light saber' in Star Wars from these Genesis performances of Supper's Ready, which pre-date Star Wars by 3-4yrs.

[@fegwahi5931]

@@filmneye Not, that concept was developed by Alejandro Jodorowsky on his failed version of Dune. He gave his script and storyboards to all Hollywood to get funding and got none but everybody ripped him off. Gabriel's concept of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was inspired by Jodorowsky's films, in particular El Topo. Guess who make this film a cult classic screening at midnight in NYC? John Lennon, who began to dress like El Topo character.

[@curiousted2725]

Wow! A Black Show. They didn’t perform many of those

[@GenesisMuseum]

The "black" shows were basically all of the 1974 legs of the tour, so roughly 60 or so. Unfortunately, they are also the darkest and show up the worst on film.

[@curiousted2725]

@@GenesisMuseum 60 gigs. That's more than I thought they did.

[@FrenchToasted1995]

there is footage but none has been made "public" yet

[@KazBodnar]

This could do with an upscale/touchup like your other 8mms!

[@GenesisMuseum]

It has all the detail that this dark leg of the tour can offer

[@inglepropnoosegarm7801]

The music is great, but by this point I think PG's theatrics had gone over the top.

[@GenesisMuseum]

Maybe, but in retrospect his theatrics may be the only reason most people have heard of them now. Genesis toured with many bands such as Capability Brown, Caravan, Focus, Lindisfarne, Gentle Giant, String Driven Thing, and so many others who had very limited success.

[@inglepropnoosegarm7801]

@@GenesisMuseum Nonsense. Most people today know of them due to the incredible success they had after Gabriel left. His over the top antics had become a liability by 1975.

[@GenesisMuseum]

Indeed, but without the theatrics, they may not have lasted long enough for that to happen. There are endless examples of bands that were as good or better than Genesis musically, but they never got noticed.
