Summary: 4 Stars
Buongiorno. It's clearly the best Live DVD that Genesis has made to date. Two disks that cover the entire concert in Rome from the "Turn It On Again" tour, and a third disk thats shows a documentary of them planning the tour. The concert has an amazing lights and FX that supersedes anything they have done in the past. The stage setting has a modern art rock feel to it, and I thought that the computer graphic images that was propelling on the screen behind them did justice for the excellent music that Genesis was playing flawlessly. As we all know the saying "when in Rome do as the romans do" does not fit the description of the Genesis songlist. If you are more keen to the 70's Genesis I would say that this DVD is more your cup of tea. The concert does not only play the expected old songs like "Firth of The Fifth", "I Know What You Like". Songs like "In The Cage" is introduced back into their old medley. Other old songs that made their way into the list are like Los Endos, Ripples, Carpet Crawlers, Cinema Show, Afterglow, and Duke's instrumentals. I personally thought that to start the show with Duke's intro, and end the concert with Ripples was not a good choice. The order of the songs they chose did not work for me. "Turn It On Again", which usually is a song they play near the end was their second song. Their finisher was "Invisible Touch", which did not suit at all. I know they have three decades worth of music to satisfy the audience, and it's not an easy job to put this kind of concert together. The "We Can't Dance" tour flowed better, but one thing that the "Turn It On Again" tour did boast is their musicianship. Daryl Stuemer's guitar playing is definitive in this concert. Even the duo drum solos with Chester Thompson and Phil Collins was much more enjoyable than their previous solos I have seen. Phil's singing sounds more musical than before, and it seems like everything is lowered by two keys, which does take off the edge a bit, but then again what you get is a pleasant vocal performance. Mike Rutherford's guitar playing has more of an attack, and his bass playing has more of the youthful energy of early 80's Genesis. Tony Banks? Well what can I say? He always will deliver, and his choice of lead synths sounded more digitally fresh than ever. The sound of the entire band was clear and the performance was calculated like true professionals. Now I thought that the stage design made it hard to film this concert. The actual stage was small, but their whole set was humongous! The proportion did not make sense. When they filmed the audience looking at the stage it made it feel as if this concert lost it's intimacy. It looked like they should have utilized the space more on stage. It felt as if the band was too crowded together for a concert that has hundreds of thousands of people. If you are giving the impression that you are playing in a galaxy, than you should be situated as one. The directing wasn't the best, and the cameras overplayed the audience just a bit. That being said it's the best filmed Genesis concert to date, cause if anybody has seen the previous released concerts you would agree that the filming and editing was not that good. You should see the "When In Rome 2007" concert because of Genesis. I just hope that this is not the last Genesis tour. Arriverderci.
