one of my other favorite "classic rock" bands is genesis. and i'm talking basically from the peter gabriel years to about the "wind and wuthering" and "trick of the tail" (one of my favorite albums from anyone/anytime....along with "lamb lies down on broadway") period (1976).

i've been craving to see some old gabriel footage from his genesis days. i've only seen a few seconds of "watcher of the skies" from a 1973 film and that's it. i've seen pics of his crazy stage get-ups from back then. it was so theatrical. anyway, there is a ton of commercially released dvds covering all of those eras. i can't believe how much stuff there is. there's like one entire package that has about 10 hours of filmed concert footage from 1972-1980. we're talking professionally filmed and on dvd. i'm gonna go broke!

so, what the hell do we have with fm? with the exception of some peter green era compilations and the video stuff from the 1980s, there is essentially nothing. where are the concerts from the 70s?

They toured so much and proved themselves as a live act. Where is all this great concert footage?

It's disappointing that we have to rely on bootleg copies of partially recorded shows.
