Genesis Selling England By The Pound Tour WITH (PARTIAL) SLIDESHOW RECONSTRUCTION 1973-1974

Using all available extant footage, this unique split-screen setup recreates the experience of attending one of Genesis's groundbreaking multimedia concerts during their famed SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND Tour. Plus - a partial reconstruction of some of the slides used on the tour, set along with the music; unlike The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway Tour, the Selling England slides have never been reconstructed in this detail before!

A few notes:

* Most of the audio is from June 4 1974 (New York City). More Fool Me is from April 24 (Boston); Epping Forest and the end of Supper's Ready (As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs) are from April 20 (Montreal).

* I "cheated" where there wasn't enough footage from this tour or where I wanted to show something that wasn't included in the available footage: there are bits and pieces from the 1972 Nursery Cryme tour, the 1973 Foxtrot tour, some (probably) faked footage purportedly from 1973, and as a last resort, some live footage from the esteemed tribute band The Musical Box. I worked to make it less than totally apparent- for example, if Peter Gabriel wasn't wearing the time-appropriate costume for this tour in the footage, it got cut. I supplemented the Selling England footage like this as sparingly as I felt I could get away with, to keep the visuals fairly authentic.

If this video does well I would like to do similar reconstructions for some other tours too... We'll see.
