Genesis is inviting everyone to video their holiday greetings and post it on YouTube. Here’s the plan:
- Film your video greeting (try and keep it reasonably short!) and upload it to YouTube
- You MUST include the tag ‘genesisholiday2007′ with your video when you upload it
- All videos and content will be reviewed and provided it is not deemed offensive or off colour we will include it in the official Genesis-Music.com greetings card
- Genesis-Music.com’s ruling about which greetings are included is final
- The deadline for submissions is December 11th
This should be something to see. Anyway, visit Genesis-Music.com for all the details.

MVD Entertainment has announced the DVD release of “Genesis – Remember Knebworth 1978: A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, a film that 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.
Bonus Materials:
- Includes a reproduction copy of the official program which was sold on the day only from within the concert arena itself
- Photo Gallery

Among them are Peter Gabriel-era tunes such as closer “Carpet Crawlers,” “Firth of Fifth” and “I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe).” The group also dusted off the two-part instrumental “Duke’s Intro” and oldies like “Home by the Sea” and “Ripples.”
Also on Nov. 20, Rhino will issue a 12-disc boxed set featuring expanded editions of the group’s albums from 1983-1998. Here’s the tracklist for “Live Over Europe”:
