Triple DVD Set Captures Genesis Reunion

I can’t recall seeing any concert event this big since Woodstock, which was “half a million strong,” remember? Well, 500,000 fans saw Genesis play a free, open-air concert in Rome’s historic Circo Massimo last July. It was at the end of their European tour after playing to one-and-a-half million fans.

The entire two-and-a-half-hour concert is captured on a new 3-DVD set that’s available today. “When In Rome 2007″ contains the hits like “Land Of Confusion” and “Mama,” plus the good ol’ classic Genesis songs like “Los Endos,” “Carpet Crawlers” and “Ripples.” There’s also photo galleries, deleted scenes and a documentary look behind the scenes at life on the road with Genesis, who hasn’t toured in 15 years.

Genesis When In Rome 2007

The new Genesis DVD set “When In Rome 2007″ will finally be available tomorrow, June 10th! This triple DVD set comes in a deluxe digipak with a 28-page booklet that chronicles the band’s sold out European tour and triumphant 15-year reunion.

Genesis has been one of my favorite classic “prog-rock” bands ever since their “Lamb Laid Down On Broadway.” It’s totally awesome to see and hear Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford back on stage with Chester Thompson on drums and Daryl Stuermer on guitar.

Rhino Entertainment YouTube Channel

Rhino Records has been my favorite record label for years. Those same zany folks offer their fantastic catalog and bizarre sense of humor online, and serve up all their latest music and video in CD, DVD, digital downloads, and of course, their awesome box sets.

Now they’re sharing their best video clips on YouTube on their very own YouTube Channel. Rhino just added Genesis video from their When In Rome 2007 European tour DVD, featuring “Mama,” “Turn It On Again,” “Land Of Confusion,” “I Know What I Like,” and “Carpet Crawlers.”

Plus there’s lots more from Stone Temple Pilots, Blue Man Group, Traveling Wilburys, Led Zeppelin, Winger, everything but the girl, Freedy Johnston, Paula Cole, Little Feat, Jude Cole, Dr. John, Bela Fleck And The Flecktones, and Dwight Yoakam (among others!)
