Genesis: In Concert (also released as Genesis: A Band in Concert)[1] is a concert film by the English progressive rock band Genesis. The recording of the film took place during concerts in Glasgow, Scotland and Stafford, England in 1976.[2] The film was released in 1977.

[edit] Background
Genesis: In Concert documents the concert tour that Genesis embarked on in 1976, after their album A Trick of the Tail. This was the first album on which Phil Collins assumed the duties of lead vocalist (following the departure of Peter Gabriel). On the album, Collins sings lead vocals and plays drums. But since Collins wanted to focus on his singing duties during live shows, Genesis brought in former Yes and King Crimson drummer Bill Bruford to play drums and percussion during this tour.
The movie combines film of two shows: one at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on July 9, 1976, and one at Bingley Hall in Staffordshire, England on either June 15 or July 10, 1976.[3]
During the songs "Cinema Show", "Entangled", and "Supper's Ready", the footage of the concert is combined with other film clips, often in an abstract manner. These portions of the movie could be considered partway between a concert film and a music video.

[edit] Rerelease
The film was released on laserdisc in Japan in 1992.
The 2007 reissue of A Trick of the Tail includes Genesis: In Concert as a feauture on a bonus DVD. The quality, however, is far from an optimum standard. The film appears to have been transferred from the laserdisc master videotapes, and not directly from the source film reels. In 2005 Genesis producer Nick Davis contacted Tony Maylam regarding the film, who confirmed that all of the source camera reels remain in his possession for both shows that were filmed. As multi-track audio recordings of the shows also remain in the band's own archives, the potential remains for the full concert to be re-released on both DVD and Blu-Ray.
[edit] Footnotes
- ^ In the film itself, the title sequence shows the name of the film as "Genesis: In Concert". This name is also displayed on the two promotional posters that were used when the movie was released in theaters [1]. On the other hand, the IMDB page [2], Yahoo Movies page [3], and Hollywood Video page [4] give "Genesis: A Band in Concert" or "Genesis - A Band in Concert" as the title.
- ^ See IMDB "locations" page: [5].
- ^ The IMDB "locations" page [6] gives the date of the Staffordshire concert as July 10, 1976, but this is uncertain. Genesis played in Staffordshire on both dates.
