- About Me:
- I've been a Genesis Fan since the early days. It started to get serious in 1977 when my flatmates took me to see Genesis at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester, England. The live show blew me away. My next show was the first night at Earls Court - my "seconds Out", then the smoke, lasers and mirrors of Knebworth 78.

| Genesis Band Member Personality Quiz created with QuizFarm.com |
| You scored as Tony Banks You are like Tony Banks. Proper, reserved, dignified, you are the core to the band. Your personality is an enigma to most. At first you may be difficult to get to know and you may be shy with those you first meet. But when you are with friends, you can be a lot of fun. You're an introvert by nature and do not like to put your head above the parapet. You are intellectual and incredibly creative. You have a go against the grain approach to your personality. You are downright determined. Most likely friend types are like Peter Gabriel and Mike Rutherford. Tony Banks - 77% Peter Gabriel - 63% Steve Hackett - 58% Mike Rutherford - 52% Phil Collins - 52% Ant Phillips - 45% I've been a Genesis Fan since the early days. It started to get serious in 1977 - I was just 20 and still at uni when my flatmates took me to see Genesis at the De Montfort Hall in Leicester, England. The live show blew me away. My next chance to see them was later the same year on their first night at Earls Court - my "seconds Out" show - one highlight was the rarely played "Inside and Out"  Now - thirty years later - and just like Genesis, I think I'm having a mid-life crisis. I doesn't really feel like a crisis in the normal sense of the word. I quite like it really. When this one is finished I think I'll just start another one. :-) I'm an environmentalist. So what does that mean? Do I roam the South Atlantic looking for the Japanese sushi fleet? Do I dig tunnels under Horselynch Plantation? Do I run my car on chickenshit? No - I'm a qualified environmentalist, which is much more interesting that it sounds. I do my bit to protect the environment at home, but it is my job as well. |

This was the only Genesis show in the UK in 1978 and the only UK show on the Mirrors Tour. Post memories and photographs of your midsummer night's dream.

Babs Elias said… - Hi Steve
I was at the Twickenham concert aswell (judging your video) I was standing just to your right!! and WASNT IT BRILLIANT
it was the 1st time ive been to a Genesis concert and Im still buzzing, my 11yr old son is now a total Gen freak drives my hubby mad playing Turn it on Again so loud lol have you got any more videos cos I was so far to the left of the stage 3rows from the front that I never got to see any of the set (which I am gutted about) I was with my brother and my husband and son were at the back of blockB and they had a much better view of the set, and thats after I paid 350 pounds for my tck as well!!!! because I got ripped off for the 1st lot on ebay. i ended up costing me about a grand to see them! but at least I got to be there so Im thankful for that. Lets hope they do it again. thanks mate Babs

Rob said… - Hi, nice to know there's a few of us Knebworth codgers left. You wouldn't happen to know if there's any sort of video from 1978 available, would you? Apart from the short documentary on the SACD of And Then... I haven't seen anything of that day, although I am slightly worried that it won't match up to my 30 year-old memories. Cheers

Swansea Jack said… - Hi
sorry it's taken so long to reply, but I've been busy doing out my bathroom for the last few weeks. I was tiling all weekend and only stopped to watch the match on Saturday afternoon.
I was also at two of the shows in Leicester in 1977. I was staying with my cousin who was in the Polytechnic. It was a memorable weekend and we took a ghetto blaster in to tape the Saturday show. There are copies of the show out there but unfortunately the master is long gone. You are probably a school year older than me because I was nineteen at the time. What school did you go to? I went to Penlan.
I remember seeing you in the pub on the Thames before the Twickenham show last year, I'm sorry I didn't come over to say hello.
Regards
Colin Craven

Van den Berghe said… - Nice to meet you. As you I am an environmentalist too. Build my own house in wood (no extra isolation) sun warmth water and warming the house with my own wood (we own a farm). Recycling the water of our showers we take to be used as toilet-flow (is that correct english ?), altough this is not autorised by our gouverment (water is highly taxed), recycling rain-water (in the south of France that means recycling gold !!!), we now are interested in producing our own electricity by wind. I also use only 100% biological inks at work, only on water base and no additionnal solvants. Beeing cleaned by ultra-sound waves and recycled... My wife raises sheep and lambs for it's meet only by natural way. We produce our own grass, no additifs, and thats all they eat. We have our customers ordering in advance our lambs and not coimplaining at all. I hope to contribute a little bit to create a better world for my children.
