Genesis night on BBC 2, anyone else see it?

[StuntmanMike]

As title really, the whole band, past and present reunited for this documentary, afterwards BBC 2 showed every TOTP performance the band ever did.
This wasn't well publicised, apparently they went on Radio 2 to advertise it.

Have SKY+ both.

Having a couple of Sunday lunchtime beers and might watch soon.

Was it any good?

[StuntmanMike]

Sorry, forgot I posted this, yes very good.

I love Gabriel-era Genesis, so I'm off to BBC iPlayer.......

It was good to see them all in one room talking about the past.

Brought back some great memories for me.

Dear All,

enjoyed it but a couple of significant flaws.

Steve Hackett didn't do anything out of Genesis, did he, or so you'd think from the program. Major omission this IMHO
Less important, what happened to Wind and Wuthering in their album list/analysis?

I agree, the program had very little (almost nothing) about Hackett (a brilliant guitarist and major part of the songwriting team in Genesis). Wind and Wuthering was probably the album that got me into Genesis and had some wonderful tracks on it - I guess they cherry picked what they thought were the key albums during the history of the band as shown.

Or more likely Banks Vetoed mention of it, the sour git. Thus no mention that Rutherford/Collins played on Voyage of the acolyte.

Gabriel looked like he was having a great time winding people up.

Hackett has since said on social media that when he was interviewed, he spoke as much about his solo stuff as his time in Genesis, so is more than a bit miffed none of that was used, and isn't supporting the documentary when it goes on sale.

Possibly true on both accounts
