RETURN OF GENESIS NIGHT
Genesis - Come Rain Or Shine
Friday 16 May
9.00-10.00pm BBC FOUR
This intimate, behind-the-scenes documentary has extraordinary access to the musicians in the run-up to last year's European stadium tour. With the first show in Helsinki only eight months away, Tony, Phil and Mike get together in a rehearsal studio with the rest of the band to see if they can recapture the old magic.
With a £10m stage production and a huge, expectant fan base, the stakes are high. As the countdown begins, the preparations are dogged by technical problems and creative challenges, but there's a lot of merriment, too.
The camera follows the band through design meetings and rehearsals. Backstage and archive clips illustrate their reflections upon Genesis, past and present, their hopes and their frustrations. Phil, in particular, struggles to balance the demands of a musical career as a famous front man with his private life as a dedicated father.
The film is a fascinating insight into these professional, intelligent and likeable men whose lives combine the extraordinary and the everyday.
When In Rome
Friday 16 May
10.00-11.30pm BBC FOUR
After the re-formed Genesis found their 2007, 22-date European tour lashed by electric storms, the sun came out for the finale - a free concert open to 500,000 fans in Rome's ancient Circo Massimo. As darkness descends, it's a breathtaking spectacle, with a sweeping, curvaceous stage and huge graphics screens failing to dwarf the sound of a super-group reborn.
It's their first tour since splitting up, 15 years previously, and the fans are not to be disappointed. The band serves up plenty of old favourites, including Land Of Confusion, No Son Of Mine, Follow You, Follow Me, and the band's first charting single in 1973, I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe).
