thegenesisarchive.co.uk Genesis - Turn It On Again Tour 2007, filmed at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey USA. Filmed up to show day on the 27th September 2007. Copyright belongs to Discovery Channel.
This is a fascinating glimpse of music history. Rammstein, the Deutsch newhard industrial metal band have 2 stages now mobile for their stadium tour. Times have moved on 🔥 R➕🔥 Global dominion🤘 🔥 2022
It’s not a new idea as the Rolling Stones etc have been running 2 stage sets for years. So there are 2 stage sets with 3 crews and once a show is finished it’s broken down and taken to the next venue ready for the next show
"For the last 4 days me and the crew worked our tail off". No, Mr show-off presenter. The others worked. You were posing. And probably got cursed off-cam for being in the way. Amazing how the Belgian PM kept his cool. Others would have kicked this loud, self-important American off the stage.
I understand the sentiment, but yes. As an audio technician that has done shows this size, there usually isn’t a lot of time to mess around. Im also willing to bet the only work he did was in front of a camera. Sorry bud but no room on my crew for that..
Eliju luckily it wasn’t powered on, however if I’m working a festival and I need to route the guest desk through the main drive console I ALWAYS ask the guest engineer before just touching his desk, if he has an issue with that I understand, and help by just telling him where he needs to patch to get the PA.
I know what you mean. “Phil Collins and the band”. I remember Phil being interviewed about Pete’s departure when he complained that they were generally referred to as Peter Gabriel’s band. He said how it always irritated the rest of them.
@@djskippa7520 There’s a bit of a difference now. Back then the fan’s KNEW Genesis but had a special ‘affliction’ for Peter. Now, most people a completely clueless as to early Genesis, including W&W, TOTT, TTWT, etc. These people only know Phil. You have to feel sorry for such mindless twits. But mindless twits are very often annoying, huh?
whoa man I'm pretty damn sure that stage needed a whole team of civil engineers to evaluate all the risk involved for outdoor concert. it's mind blowing
As a little boy when Carnival would come to town here in Buffalo I would always beg my parents to drive by so I can watch the rides being set up. That was the most fascinating amazing thing for me as a child that carried over into adulthood how stuff was set up and taken down I found it amazing that the circus could be in my town at my Arena the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium for 4 days in a row and then the next day my Buffalo Sabres would be in that same Arena floor how did they do it???. I find it always amazing and then I work the changeover crew when the Buffalo Sabres move into the new Arena First Niagara Center HSBC Arena Marine Midland Arena and then I learned how everything was done and it wasn't that interesting anymore. LOL
At about 3:20 into the video, I burst out laughing as I remembered a funny event. Towards the end of the 1970s and the beginning of the 1980s, I worked at the Forum de Montréal, a major sporting and cultural venue in Montreal. Our job was to prepare the arena for the presentation of rock concerts, then to restore it to its primary vocation, the NHL hockey games. One evening in March 1978, after the Rod Stewart concert, as our team was removing the rows of seats arranged on the floor, another employee sweeping the floor exclaimed: "Look what I have just found" . He was holding a condom with his fingertips, which had obviously been used. You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to conclude, my dear Watson, that someone had had sex in the middle of the crowd at the show. Was it just the fulfillment of a fantasy on their part, or simply the effect that Rod Stewart had on some people?
I have to admit, I used to dog out Phil on his sappy pop solo stuff. I went and listened to early 70's Genesis, with Steve Hackett, Peter Gabriel, I'll give Phil his due, he jammed on those early records.
That power cable is gonna totally secure that 70 pound moving light . . . And they have a computerized keyboard that controls it all . . . good lord . . . learn your business dude.
Except for the title track, the entire band seemed to look down on that album during the later tours, which is a shame. I love "Me And Sarah Jane" and would have liked to have heard live versions of "No Reply At All" and "Dodo/Lurker".
Problem is that Banks thinks he is the most important member of Genesis ! Whilst I recognise his keyboard skills he comes over as the typical public school boy he is , full of entitlement, humourless, and uptight
Yes much kit is standard hire equipment with custom made specific pieces paid for by the band. Incidentally the famous Queen crown aluminium lighting rig was left in a field at Edwin Shirley’s mothers farm in Cranbrook Kent
Try setting the Taylor Swift: Reputation Tour stage up... legit 40 degree heat. I mean it's normal for Australia but damn it felt like 50. the entire day.
Touring is planned properly to cover these "costs" the venue held 51,275 concert attendee's.... the band and production crew had a day off before the show and after the show. Obviously the advance crew didn't get those times off...I do believe there was three stage sets but in different amounts as in two full stage sets but an extra kit of one half of the required stuff. Lights and Pa were not duplicated.
@@5Antvin I’m watching this, and wondering if the production costs ought to be toned down, considering the… more humble… condition of the band. It probably wouldn’t affect how much LiveNation/TicketMaster will snatch from my purse though…
In the Documentary - Come Rain or Shine, during the production rehearsals Tony Banks remarks that this is what £10 Million gets you. As for daily production costs we don't know.
So much effort to put everything together every time, for a tour not terrible in fact. All the songs were transposed - it was soft, I saw them in Paris and I was disappointed. Phil no longer has his voice. It was sorry, but respect anyway, they surely needed cash
I saw clips and didn’t think it was so bad, back when I didn’t know much about their previous two tours. In retrospect, this tour sounded much closer to what will happen later this year.
Evan Keal the light show in 2007 looked like it was on random. No show stopping effects at the end of afterglow nothing. The CGI running man during in the cage was embarrassing. Collins singing in a different key didn’t help matters either plus Tony Banks shitty Korg keyboards sounded plastic
This is sick! The excess of excess. Makes me feel ill. Genesis doesn't need such a grotesque stage as this! Ridiculous.. Genesis: "Let US show YOU just how much money we have to waste!!!" Their music has sucked since 1982!! I'm glad they gave so many others a job, but this is over-the-top! Exactly the things we rebelled against starting in 1977!!!
Imagine being in that stadium, looking to see a band with no video screens and boring lighting... you would feel disconnected from the show because of the perspective of scale.
That's why I got so pissed about that idiot presenter.. who kept referring to Phil Collins.. and at one point even said 'Phil Collins and the Band!!' Cock! personal note as a student I roadied for Genesis on the Lamb Tour in Bristol and Birmingham UK... and way back then.. the Music came first.. and Collins knew his place behind the kit!!!
