THE VIDEO SHOW

Well, where is he?

Surely we could have some material or didnt they film Genesis back in the 70s?

The great man was sorely missing from this swag of genesisology. What we have instead is the most mainstream Genesis material ever put to film. Apart form the excellent Turn it on Again, A Trick of the Tail, Ripples, Carpet Crawlers, and Home by the Sea/ Second Home by the Sea, there is little to recommend the prog rock fan.

If you love Genesis you will no doubt get a kick out of these videos that are mainly studio based and Phil Collins is the star. Some of the clips are edgey and well produced such as Jesus He Knows Me, Land of Confusion and Duchess. But you have seen it all before on MTV reruns and there was not enough rare material for my tastes.

Even one addition from 'Foxtrot' or 'Nursery Cryme' would have been enough for me. But instead we have the non prog Genesis that we abhore from 'We cant dance' and 'Invisible Touch' featuring heavily. This is not the Genesis DVD to get if you are into prog rock, instead get hold of 'When in Rome' which buries this for sheer quality and prog excellence.

3 stars for the prog clips mentioned earlier otherwise steer clear of this.
