I just watched the splendid 2-DVD Beyond The Beginning (after reading Jeremy Bender his reaction) and I have to add that Keith Emerson playing "Fanfare for the common man" on his mighty Yamaha GX-1 synthesizer in a snow packed Montreal Olympic Stadium is also a magical progrock moment. I still remember vividly the video-clip: progrock on the television  , what a rare but breathtaking moment  !

They place the coffin upright centrestage and just as the drum beat becomes recognisable as the opening to "Back In NYC", the lid opens and out steps Gabriel in his guise as Rael. Fantastic.

Wow. I wish I could have seen that! You describe it so well I have a picture in my head right now! Which is even more annoying because I can only imagine what I missed by... not being born back then...

I was invited to go to that concert by some friends (I used to visit progrock concerts in the Seventies with them) but unfortunately I was drafted and not allowed to leave my militairy post in that period, they need my to protect The Netherlands against the communistic danger  ...

A few years ago I received photos from that concert by one of those friends who had visited the 1982 Genesis Concert. I was grateful for those pictures but I had also the feelings as TheLamb described, it's was Torment of Tantalus  while looking at it, once again, for several unlucky reasons, I had missed a Genesis concert, first in 76 and then in 78  ...
