Isn’t it amazing to realise that the band wrote, arranged, recorded and performed Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England and The Lamb before any of the members turned 25?! And to pull it off live in a way like this…unbelievable.

Wow that is an amazing fact. And they were all brilliant at their instruments. I know that there are still many young and brilliant musicians but what there isn't now is an organized industry that wants to sign them to a recording contract and nurture them. Instead the entire industry now just seems to use people for a song if they have come up with one and then spit them out and look for the next one. I'm happy that this special band and song was recorded for all of us to enjoy nearly 50 years later!

I didn't even know they existed then, I was starting to get interested in Frank Zappa around that time. In San Luis, it was transmitted on channel 13 from Yuma if I remember correctly, right after a 15-minute-long boring program called "Midnight Rap".

People at the time - and even today - have accused Gabriel-era Genesis of taking themselves too seriously … but I’ll always prefer a self-serious artist a million times over someone just phoning it in. It’s undeniable how entrancing this performance is, and how magnetic both Gabriel and Genesis are in their presence. People could learn a lot from this period of rock music, especially in terms of discarding all apprehension and just swinging for the fences!!

Funnily enough, nobody ever chastised film makers for being too serious while making drama movies or writers for being too serious but when it comes to music, you are suddenly supposed to create with tongue in cheek.

Prog Rock at it's finest. I hardly ever watched the Midnight Special in real time because they put on acts about which I did not care. This is amazing, revelatory and perfect. How tight, how musical. How totally odd.

For guys like me who have been listening to Genesis since we were kids in the 70s this is an extraordinary revelation. We’ve watched the grainy copies on VHS, but this proves to us that the band we have always been so proud of was even more exquisite on stage than we could have imagined.

I don't know how to put into words the whole Genesis/Peter Gabriel/Phil Collins/Mike and the Mechanics vibe ebbing and flowing from the early 70s through to the early 90s. They were all together, and individually, on musical point. I love them all so much.

Thank you Midnight Special for preserving history and for giving chances to all musicians no matter what the charts were dictating back then. Just look at what you have given us! All your remastered shows are amazing. Thank You !

@@pablodufranc I reckon it was deliberate so as to not embarrass Hackett as Eddie Van Halen would have dubbed that bit in for Hackett no doubt. Ha Ha Ha. Yes it was a shame for the camera to hone in on Hackett's face at that particular moment. They did that face filming far too much back in the good old days.

What a thrill to see the greatest pop group of the seventies play. We Italians were the first to appreciate their skill and to love their music. Now anyone can see his favorites on KZfaq or in concerts. We could only dream while listening to their music or looking at the few photos published in specialized magazines. And listen here: the phenomenal guitarist Steve Hackett invented the tapping technique long before Eddie Van Halen.
