2.0 out of 5 stars A wasted oppertunity, 20 Aug 2001

By A Customer

First impressions on this DVD were very high, but after a few mintues of watching, we are treated to the same old story. Despite the interviews with the band being new, we were presented with the same footage of the band. The early Gabriel years were skipped over very quickly, and footage from the Three Sides Live, Mama Tour and the We Cant Dance Tour were shown. Any serious Genesis fan will have these anyway. The DVD was basically a rehash of the Genesis Story video from 1990/91. Despite all the negative aspects, there were some positives. There's an exquisite version of 'Horizon's' performed by Steve and also some accoustic versions of Afterglow, Follow You Follow Me which brighten things up a bit.

Overall an all too brief history of the band and their songs. A band with this much history deserves a documentary with a lot more detail than this (e.g. Beatles Anthology).

Lets hope the other live DVD (due in November) makes up for this very poor effort. If your a big Genesis fan, dont waste your money on this. You've seen and heard it all before.

4.0 out of 5 stars We Know You Want More..., 3 Jan 2002

By A Customer

Having first 'discovered' Genesis in the mid-eighties I hadn't listened to them much since...until I bought this DVD. This DVD inspired me to re-build my CD collection after (gasp!) selling it years ago. I found the interviews very insightful (complete with an almost unrecognizable hairless & pudgy Gabriel!) but the old concert video footage, while intrigueing, was a tease for this eager fan who is wondering when the rest of it will be restored and released in its complete state. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's a waste of money - anything released by Genesis could never be that - but your money may be better spent, if you had to choose, on the new double-DVD Way We Walk - Live in London - TOP MARKS!!

5.0 out of 5 stars A very Good, 19 April 2002

By A Customer

This a very good, DVD about genesis, and Hackett & gabriel, The Sound and Picture is very good, and I love this DVD, it is much better than the "Genesis a History" that was on VHS tape from 1991. I is good to see Peter Gabriel talking about the old times and, comment on what was his best Genesis Song and Album, And the must surprice is the Phil Collins Comment what was his best Genesis Album, Buy this DVD and you will find it out. Must for all Genesis Die Hard Fans
