Eistadion, Mannheim

Also includes bonus footage: German TV (5 minutes - including clips from Vienna Stadhalle and Ulm Summerfest) and Many Too May (alternate promo video). This is the 'trade only' EFDVD and is not available for download or vining - find someone who has it and make a trade (and a new friend!) [LivingForever]

The source for the main feature was a very low generation tape kindly supplied by Chris Davies - and it offers the best picture in terms of stability that we had come across, having none of the annoying dropouts that affect most versions of this. Hopefully you will not be fooled by the screenshot of the Dallas 77 clip from this DVD which is much worse quality than the rest of the film, I suspect the BBC did not have access to a particularly good master for that! The alternate Many Too Many video clip is the one as seen in the main feature, but with slightly better picture and redubbed sound from the Platinum Collection remix. The Vienna and Ulm clips extracted from a documentary about Phil Collins broadcast on German TV in 1996. Sources came from Chris Davies, Alan Hewitt and Dave Bowler, and the DVD was authored by Willem Beens with art from Azzy Artworks. [LivingForever]

Does a good job of collecting up the 1978 material (although only the live portions of the 'Three Dates' documentary are included.) Unfortunately, there is no real "jewel in the crown" as with the other GMDVD releases so it's one of my less played, but still worth having! [LivingForever]

A full audience recording of the Leiden show exists and will likely surface soon. [earlofgenesis]

Yes, Leiden (in audio) should be released either just prior or just after the Christmas holiday. [MB]

Nice 8mm Footage, although they are all dubbed with Squonk and One for the Vine. Sadly the Dortmund Footage seems to end with a Light Show of Los Endos, if the filmer would have waited a few minutes, we could have had footage from the Suppers Ready Encore. And if you try to dub some parts, you will notice that there is Footage from "Fontain of Salmacis", actually the only one known. I Hope that Someday a Video footage will appear from Knebworth or Vienna, Just like it happened with the Lyceum gig. :-) [chinwildchicken]

Notes from the torrent :

Known Issues No Intro's To Tracks

Got this LP in the 80s The Cover has the wrong track listing for the tracks on side one.
This is a short LP not seen it around alot.
There is a bit of confusion about the date the tour dates say they played Mannheim on this date, but all recordings of the Mannheim show
are dated as the day before the 17th as is the movement concert database. The Datebase gives this show as this date and venue.
Ive found a ticket from the Mannheim show that says the 18th and ive seen a ticket that says it is Koln also for the 18th.
Ive checked my recording of Koln on the 14th and this is not the same show. I have also checked all the other German Dates
on the tour and none seem to match this one. They did however play Radrennbahn,Koln on the 1st sept but there is no circulating recording from
that day so it could be from there. If anyone knows or can verify any info or went to any of theses dates please let us know.

Notes from torrent :

This is a remaster of the original upload to Genesis Movement
Unknown gen tape
Taper: unknown




Processing:
flac files -> Magix Audio & Music Lab (edit/remaster) -> FLAC -> Genesis Movement
Some massive EQ was done. Especially the higher frequencies were lifted and middle frequencies taken down. Sound level adjusted.
Audience noise between songs lowered. Unfortunately by the EQ there is a quite some hiss. Also the sound is quite inconsistent through the recording (especially the first track). Sound improves halfway with track 7 and finally from track 8 on. The last track is cut after 5:21.
