Here at last is EFDVD's take on the classic Old Grey Whistle Test footage taken from the second night at the Lyceum Ballrooms in London - and believe me when I say that you will all be glad we left it until now!

After having only played one UK show on the previous tour (Knebworth '78 of course), Genesis "made it up" to the UK fans by embarking on a very much scaled down tour of more intimate venues.
As has been said by members of the band, this was perhaps the first tour that Phil considered himself completely as the singer and frontman, and for many people (myself included) this fact contributes largely to why this tour is so highly regarded.  For me, this tour is the pinnacle of the 3-man era - all the guys are at the absolute top of their game.
And this 40 minutes of footage from the Lyceum perfectly illustrates that - recorded on the penultimate night of the UK tour before they took it to North America, the band are on fire.
Of course, it is sad that only a portion of the concert was broadcast - but the choice of songs is perfect!

Those of you who have acquired the Kate Bush with Peter Gabriel DVD (EFDVDVA02) will no doubt be ecstatic to hear that our source for the OGWT footage is the same person, which should tell you what to expect - and yes, they are still anonymous ;-)
And again, this also benefits greatly from being worked on by TM Productions!

I have to say, listen to this as loud as you can, preferably through some decent headphones - and if it doesn't completely blow your mind, I'll give you your money back ;-)

But wait, that's not all!  Included on the DVD is a cracking upgrade of the Granada TV documentary going behing the scenes on the tour, and specifically at the Liverpool show on 2nd May.
This is taken from a timecoded DVD recording of the master tape and came to us from EFDVD's very own James Hendry :o)

Hope you enjoy this one guys - we're a bit proud of it!!!
