I came across this 2004 DVD, and decided to give it a chance. The commentary is very insightful, and the video footage is a real treat. As you might guess, the attention is focused on the most beloved songs.<\/p>\n

For \u201cTrespass\u201d, \u201cThe Knife\u201d gets a thorough investigation. They mark this as where the \u2018classic sound\u2019 truly begins. Another in depth study is done on \u201cStagnation.\u201d This came as a bit of a surprise, but it reminds you of what a truly remarkable piece this is.<\/p>\n

\u201cNursery Cryme\u201d is given the biggest time slot. Steve Hackett\u2019s mark on the band\u2019s sound is particularly highlighted. \u201cThe Musical Box\u201d is practically drooled over. It contains some great scenes of Tony Banks playing guitar, and Peter Gabriel playing the old man. \u201cReturn of the Giant Hogweed\u201d gets the full treatment, and Steve\u2019s unusual solo is the highlight. \u201cThe Fountain of Salmacis\u201d wraps up this segment.<\/p>\n

The \u201cFoxtrot\u201d segment is represented by \u201cWatcher of the Skies\u201d and, of course, \u201cSupper\u2019s Ready.\u201d Here is where we start getting into trouble. This was a monumental album for the group. It deserves more attention. Granted, these are the two key numbers, but there is much more. They don\u2019t even mention that Steve did his first classical guitar number on this album (although, \u201cHorizons\u201d is played over the ending credits). There also isn\u2019t even that much time spent on \u201cSupper\u2019s Ready.\u201d This was a huge prog epic, and they barely scratch the surface.<\/p>\n

\u201cSelling England by the Pound\u201d is given a five star rating, but once again only explores two songs. \u201cDancing With the Moonlight Night\u201d gets its due, and \u201cI Know What I Like\u201d is treated with a nice objectivity. There is no mention of Phil having a lead vocal (yes, I know, some of you will think that is a good thing). Was there anything else that may have made this a five star album? I guess \u201cFirth of Fifth\u201d and \u201cCinema Show\u201d are just filler.<\/p>\n

Now we come to the real travesty. The grand epic, double album, \u201cThe Lamb lies Down on Broadway\u201d gets two minutes. That\u2019s it! Then the film is over. And it\u2019s not as if this program was running long.<\/p>\n

For me, if you are going to do film about this era of Genesis, you should go more in depth. Especially when it comes to their most ambitious effort. It also would have been nice to talk about \u201cFrom Genesis to Revelation\u201d just a little bit. They could have at least done enough to show the tremendous leap they made to \u201cTrespass.\u201d If you didn\u2019t know the band, this film might give you the impression that \u201cTrespass\u201d was the debut.<\/p>\n

The good moments here are very enjoyable, but it is obviously lacking. I\u2019m sure there are better Genesis films out there. Clocking in at under an hour, the $20 price tag also seems a bit much. This one is for collectors only.<\/p>\n
