Synopsis:: Show moreShow less
This film chronicles the 1978 concert at Knebworth which featured British band Genesis as headliners. The eclectic assortment of special guests and supporting artists who made up the rest of the bill provided excellent support and diversity. The legendary San Francisco rock band Jefferson Starship, the newer wave of American rock embodied by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Devo with their quirky look and music, Knebworth veteran Roy Harper, jazz rock from Brand X and southern rock from the Atlanta Rhythm Section As well as content from the festival there is also footage of Genesis at the sound check as they run through their then current single, Many Too Many.
Featured from the Genesis set that evening is a full performance of The Lady Lies from their album of the time, Then There Were Three. There is a revealing look at the set up of the stage and sound system during the week leading up to the concert and of course the British weather shows what it can do to make promoters suffer when they put on an open air festival in the UK. There is an exclusive and in depth interview with promoter Freddy Bannister who gives an insight on what it was like to stage the one day event; just one of a series of hugely successful Knebworth Festivals that he promoted during the seventies. The package comes with a reproduction copy of the official programme which was sold on the day only from within the concert arena itself.
