The Mellotron Group

I enjoyed the film, I'm not great Genesis fan but I preferred the live performances to the studio versions.

I am not that interested in the visual but I thought the theatricals were very much of their time and didn't detract from performance. 

The whole concert has that sort of naive charm that a lot of the British progressive bands had at that time. I suppose because we and they were young.

Reading through the details I'm not sure if the concert we are hearing is the same one we are watching.
