Remember Knebworth 1978: Featuring Genesis - A Midsummer Night's Dream (DVD, 2007)

Album UK 2007 on Voiceprint Group Of Companies label
Rock and Spoken Word (Interview, Prog Rock, Classic Rock)

This film captures an incredible Genesis performance as they headlined at Knebworth in 1978. As well as content from the festival there is also footage of Genesis at the sound check as they run through their then current single "Many Too Many". Featured from the Genesis set that evening is a full performance of "The Lady Lies" from their album of the time "Then There Were Three". The film also takes a revealing look at the stage and sound system assembly during the week leading up to the concert and how the British weather can often make open air festival promoters in the UK suffer. There is also an exclusive and in depth interview with promoter Freddy Bannister who gives an insight on what it was like to stage the one day event; just one of a series of hugely successful Knebworth Festivals that he promoted during the seventies. The package itself has a reproduction of the original Knebworth festival programme, that includes everything from the ads, to things like prices for the concessions (a delectable concert-goers menu of things like "sausage rolls" which went for 15p). It also features unintentionally humorous descriptions of such support acts as Jefferson Starship, Devo, and a then up and coming Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers (did you know Petty hates disco music?).
