We saw it in Tunbridge Wells ,The Film was ok , it needed more concert footage . The setting up of the stages was interesting but did get a bit boring . The end Interviews with the guys seemed strained and it would have been better not to have taken the p..s out of peoples names should have explained to the wider audience these were internet names only.
Genesis have been my favourite band for years now , but they are ,in a nutshell cashing in on maybe some of the years where they didnt earn as much ,cant blame them , I have all their albums and thats good enough for me now. Thanks for great entertainment Genesis , especially Tony who is the ultimate creative musician.
Button pushers and leather stools

I saw it in Tunbridge Wells and I must say i was surprised to see how much 'hands on" activity took place between the band and the tour operators and technicians. Whilst there was much tension exposed as problems occurred, there were some lovely creative touches to counter balance this, including the "button pusher" dilemma, and Phil being more obsessed with the percussion based leather stool than the technical problems of the
show itself. My perception of Tony Banks as a mild mannered shy
gentlemen was greatly enhanced by his dry mischief and unruffled
approach throughout the film, against Phil's more serious, complicated and thought provoking behavior. I really enjoyed the banter between them, they came across as modest and caring chaps who seemed to love each other after so many years.
Overall, it was so interesting to really know what happens behind the scenes at one of the most expensive and elaborate musical shows ever created, and the film achieved this in a very compelling and creative way.
