Recording comments
Two versions of this appear to be in circulation - this one much better than the other. Neither contain the encore

More detailed than an audience source, but the sound isn't so pleasurable... [Gigio67]

Show memories
My brand-new Minolta SRT-102 camera was broken the day before this show so I could not take any photos. It was a very cold evening, even for late March. The 'new' Century Theatre, as it was called at the time [see ticket scan on this site] was actually an old vaudeville-era movie theatre (opened 1921), used during the 70's for concerts by Harvey & Corky Productions. (Harvey is Harvey Weinstein, head of Miramax Pictures.) I think Phil wore a Buffalo Sabres (hockey team) jersey for the show, or perhaps for the encore. I was 18 and in awe. Steve's playing was mesmerizing. These were heady times...I remember when the house lights came up after the show a cloud of smoke descended from the ceiling almost to the front row of the balcony. This was the last time Genesis played this venue in Buffalo, moving to the 18,000-seat Memorial Auditorium from Wind & Wuthering on. [jwurstner]
