Genesis returned after 15 years with one of 2007’s most successful tours. After a series of brilliant stadium performances across Europe, the tour ended with a spellbinding grand finale in Rome as the band performed in front of 500,000 fans filling the historic Circo Massimo for this free, open-air concert. Legendary director David Mallet captured the entire 2 hour and 36 minute spectacle for “When In Rome 2007.”
This three-DVD set includes the entire concert, plus photo galleries, deleted scenes, photographic reproductions of tour programs and “Come Rain Or Shine,” an extraordinary fly-on-the-wall documentary filmed by Anthony Mathile that covers the entire tour from the planning stages to the show in Rome.
Filmed on July 14, 2007, the show spans such classics as “Land Of Confusion” and “Mama” to older Genesis repertoire “Los Endos,” “Carpet Crawlers” and the haunting “Ripples.” Each track on the first two discs gives the viewer access to visual extras relating to each song on the DVD. Beautifully packaged in a slipcase, the DVD digi-pak includes a 28-page booklet.
The stunning stage production for the tour included the largest screen ever used at a concert, spanning nearly 210 feet. The set was designed by world famous Mark Fisher and the spectacular lighting show is the work of genius Patrick Woodroffe. During the tour, Genesis played to 1.4 million fans during 22 European dates before heading to North America in September 2007 to play 25 more dates.
On the third disc, two-hour documentary, “Come Rain Or Shine,” offers an unusually frank and humorous look into the dynamics of life on the road and the mechanics, decisions and presentation of a legendary band on tour for the first time in 15 years. The film charts the band’s epic journey, including the very first meeting of the band at rehearsal to planning the tour, capturing the real personalities behind Genesis and the pitfalls of planning of a multi-million dollar production.
