1981-2007: The Movie BoxBig, bigger, Genesis. Their 2007 tour was already larger than life, and now Genesis are out to top that: Their tour film When In Rome is released in a sumptuous 3 DVD set.
When In Rome 2007 (3DVD set)Simultaneously to the Platinum Collection Genesis released the The Video Show DVD in 2004. It unites almost all promo videos the band did in stereo, Dolby Digital 5.1 and dts sound. Christian Gerhardts was all ears (and eyes).
On the occasion of the release of the 2003 BBC Broadcast Boxset, Tom Morgenstern has reassessed the DVD Live At Wembley Stadium.
The film that covers the six sold-out shows at Earl's Court in 1992 was finally released on DVD on 2001. Genesis presented themselves for the first time in sumptuous 5.1 sound on the rather new DVD medium. Alexander Pfaff has checked it out for you.

VHS videos have become relics of a time gone by these days. There is no other official audio / video documentary of the Mama tour, though. In fact, this very video has gone out of print fifteen years ago.
Legendary Double album from 1974, now available remastered on 2CD with new Stereo-Mixes.
