Genesis/Belgium 1972 Upgrade

GENESIS entered its golden age in 1972 with Phil Collins and Steve Hackett. The classic professional shot has been upgraded to the ultimate quality. The classic professional shot was taken on March 20, 1972 in Brussels. Yes, this is a multi-camera professional shot taken when he appeared on the Belgian TV station RTBF’s music program “POP SHOP”. This video is truly a treasure of progressive rock. Speaking of GENESIS at the time, they had just started a thorough live show with their masterpiece “NURSERY CRYME” in tow. This video is also known as the oldest video of the “Golden Five” together. First of all, let’s look back on those days and confirm the position of the program. ●1971・August 7th-November 7th: Europe #1 (29 performances)《“NURSERY CRYME” released on November 12th》・November 19th-December 23rd: Europe #2 (26 performances) ●1972・January 1st – March 25th: Europe #3 (43 performances) ←★Here★・April 6th – July 28th: ​​Europe #4 (67 performances)《August “FOXTROT” production Start >> This is the overall picture of the activities associated with “NURSERY CRYME”. At that time, they had not yet expanded to North America and toured only in Europe. Most of them were from their home country of England, but Belgium was the first foreign country to welcome them. Of course, it is difficult to do a “tour” with multiple performances only in Belgium, and the main thing is media exposure. “POP SHOP” in this work is one of them. By the way, the large-scale tour was held in Italy, which corresponds to “Europe #4” mentioned above. This work is a professional shot from earlier than that. Professional shots from the Peter Gabriel era are already valuable, but when they are this early, their value is tremendous. It has been repeatedly upgraded and upgraded since ancient times, and has become a classic among classics that amazes enthusiasts every time. This work is the latest version in 2019, and is the ultimate version that will never be surpassed. Speaking of “POP SHOP”, BLACK SABBATH’s pinnacle video “BRUSSELS 1970: THE ORIGINAL “POP SHOP” MASTER” is still fresh in my memory, and this work is probably the same. I don’t see any editing differences like SABBATH, but the upgrades are very similar. Speaking of the highest peak so far, the remastered version of “POP SHOP 1972 REMASTERED EDITION” is also familiar, but even that beautiful screen is completely unmatched. In the remastered version, the skin was smooth and the costumes were as smooth as vinyl, but that was because the details were crushed. In reality, they have youthful skin with pimples and shaving marks, veins stand out on their hands, and downy hair grows on them. You can clearly see the fibers of the costume. No, it’s still not enough. In fact, the image quality of this film exceeds even the scene scenes, and even the graininess of the film was clearly preserved. I often describe high image quality by saying, “Every single hair is clear,” but the image quality of this work is far from that. Since images are shot on film, it is impossible to achieve image quality that is better than the physical graininess. That is what I meant when I said earlier, “It will never be surpassed.” What is depicted in the ultimate image quality is the appearance of five people who have stepped into a new dimension. When we think of images from Gabriel’s era, images of theatrical performances and eccentric costumes are strong, but this film shows the film before he became aware of these techniques. Although Gabriel’s actions show the intense expressiveness that would later develop into pantomime, he is unable to connect his surging passion to expression. Dressed in a simple black outfit, with no make-up and her hair swayed, she sings like a rock singer. And the performance of the four people drawn by Gabriel is already at full throttle in the GENESIS world. Of course, he will continue to improve his skills through the harsh touring life, but his direction has already been established, and he has released songs such as “Fountain Of Salmacis,” “The Musical Box,” and “Return Of The Giant Hogweed,” “NURSERY CRYME.” An energetic and dynamic reconstruction of famous songs. It is a video that is truly a “moving NURSERY CRYME”. “Twilight Alehouse” is the only number outside of the album. It is a song that will be released as the B-side of the later single “I Know What I Like”, but you can witness its very early performance with multi-camera professional shots that are more than official. Just like Genesis. This is one of the highest peaks. A video work that revives the oldest professional shots by the “Golden Five” in ultimate quality.
