Genesis — Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford — returned after 15 years with one of 2007’s most successful tours. After a series of brilliant stadium performances across Europe, the tour ended with a spellbinding grand finale in Rome as the band performed in front of 500,000 fans who filled the historic Circo Massimo for this free, open-air concert. Legendary director David Mallet captured the entire 2 hour and 36 minute spectacle with multiple cameras for WHEN IN ROME 2007.
This three-DVD set includes the entire concert, plus photo galleries, deleted scenes and photographic reproductions of tour programs.
Additionally, the third disc contains “Come Rain Or Shine,” an extraordinary fly-on-the-wall documentary filmed by Anthony Mathile that covers the entire tour from the planning stages in 2006 to the show in Rome. Pre-orders for this massive triple DVD set are now available starting May 7, 2008, exclusively at walmart.com, samsclub.com, and genesis-music.com. The DVD, scheduled for a June 10 release, will be available exclusively at Wal-Mart stores and Sam’s Clubs in the U.S. as well as Walmart.com, samsclub.com and genesis-music.com.
Filmed on July 14, 2007, the show spans such Genesis classics as “Land Of Confusion” and “Mama” to older Genesis repertoire “Los Endos,”
“Carpet Crawlers” and the haunting “Ripples.” Each track on the first two discs gives the viewer access to visual extras relating to each song on the DVD.
Beautifully packaged in a slipcase, the DVD digi-pak includes a 28-page booklet.
The concert is a showcase for the classic Genesis line-up of Banks, Collins and Rutherford along with longtime sidemen Chester Thompson
(drums) and Daryl Stuermer (guitar). The stunning stage production for the Turn It On Again tour included the largest screen ever used at a concert, spanning nearly 210 feet. The set was designed by world famous Mark Fisher and the spectacular lighting show, the work of genius Patrick Woodroffe. During the tour, Genesis played to a staggering 1.4 million fans during 22 European dates before heading to North America in September 2007 to play 25 more dates from Toronto to Los Angeles.
On the third disc, the nearly two-hour documentary, “Come Rain Or Shine,”
offers an unusually frank and humorous look into the dynamics of life on the road and the mechanics, decisions and presentation of a legendary band on tour for the first time in 15 years. The film charts the band’s epic journey, including the very first meeting of the band at a rehearsal studio in New York in September 2006, planning the tour, capturing the real personalities behind Genesis and the pitfalls of planning of a multi-million dollar production.
Last spring, Rhino launched a complete upgrade of the band’s catalog with the first two in a series of three box sets containing all 13 studio albums by one of the top-selling recording artists of all time. The box sets present each album as a two-disc set with a CD featuring a newly remixed version of the original studio album, and a DVD that includes a 5.1 Surround Sound mix of the album as well as videos, photo galleries, photographic reproductions of tour programs and interviews with band member filmed exclusively for this extensive collection.
This fall, Rhino will conclude the series with its highly anticipated box set covering Genesis’ early years with founding member Peter Gabriel.
Spanning six years, the set will include such progressive rock classics as Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England By The Pound and The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway.

The Brothers Gallagher finally announce some more information on their upcoming album release. The title is Dig Out Your Soul in stores on Oct. 3rd and the first single is called “The Shock of the Lightning” which will hit airwaves on Sept. 26th. Here are a few of Noel’s comments in regards to the new album:
“If ‘The Shock of the Lightning’ sounds instant and compelling to you, it’s because it was written dead fast. And recorded dead fast. ‘The Shock of The Lightning’ basically is the demo. And it has retained its energy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, I think.”
“I wanted to write music that had a groove; not songs that followed that traditional pattern of verse, chorus and middle eight. I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic; more driving… Songs that would draw you in, in a different way. Songs that you would maybe have to connect to - to feel.”
Lets all hope this is the return to form that everyone wants these guys to pull off… In the meantime here’s a great acoustic version of an old B-side, “Whatever”:
From TorrentFreak.com:
Joss Stone, who won a Grammy last year, loves music, but hates the the music industry. In a recent interview she said that - unlike herself - most artists are brainwashed by the industry, and she encouraged people to share her music.
After the show a reporter asked her what she thinks of piracy, and people who download her songs off the Internet. Her response baffled the reporter, as she simply told him: “I think it’s great…” There was an awkward silence for a few seconds, the reporter probably expected to hear something else from her. “Great?,” he said.
“Yeah, I love it. I think it’s brilliant and I’ll tell you why,” Stone continued. “Music should be shared. […] The only part about music that I dislike is the business that is attached to it. Now, if music is free, then there is no business, there is just music. So, I like it, I think that we should share.”
“It’s ok, if one person buys it, it’s totally cool, burn it up, share it with your friends, I don’t care. I don’t care how you hear it as long as you hear it. As long as you come to my show, and have a great time listening to the live show it’s totally cool. I don’t mind. I’m happy that they hear it.”
Stone went on to say that most artists have probably been “brainwashed” by the record labels, when they discourage their fans from downloading music. Of course, Stone is not the only artist who actually wants people to share their work. Last year rapper 50 Cent made some positive remarks about filesharing, and Nine Inch Nails takes it even further, as they upload their music onto BitTorrent sites themselves.
These artists are spot on, in fact, several studies have shown that artists actually benefit from filesharing. The more music people share, the more CDs they buy and the more concerts they visit.
