"Genesis in Concert" on Trick of the Tail DVD

[edit]

One of the items listed on the Trick DVD is this:

Genesis In Concert 1976: "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)", "Fly On A Windshield", "The Carpet Crawlers", "The Cinema Show", "Entangled", "Supper's Ready" and "Los Endos".

There was an actual movie made of the 1976 tour, which was released in theaters. Can anyone confirm if this item is that movie? If so, is it the entire movie?

In any event, the 1976 movie probably deserves a Wikipedia article and a mention on the Genesis (band) page. — Lawrence King (talk) 21:43, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I answered my own question. It is the same movie. I have created a page for the movie -- Genesis: In Concert -- and have edited this page and the TotT page to make the connection clear. — Lawrence King (talk) 05:08, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This page's name

[edit]

This page is named Genesis 1976 -1982 -- with a space before the hyphen, but not after.

This is bizarre. Is there any reason for this? I will remove the spaces entirely if there is no objection. — Lawrence King (talk) 21:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will go ahead and moving it. I did some poking around, and there's no good reason for the spaces. Perhaps the artwork on the box misled the editor. As precedent, I can cite the Beatle's Red Album and Blue Albums, each of which are a gazillion times more famous than this box set will ever be: The Beatles 1962-1966 and The Beatles 1967-1970. Note the lack of spaces next to the hyphen in the Wikipedia articles. — Lawrence King (talk) 05:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Japanese version of the box set

[edit]

The DVD in the Japanese version of the box set is PAL? Japan is an NTSC country. I believe that`s an error. 202.221.129.6 01:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Source of bootleg footage?

[edit]

So, where exactly does the bonus "bootleg video" come from? I realize that these films have been circulating in the trading community for quite some time, but since the quality of most of the bonus video on the DVDs seems worse than many existing bootlegs, do we know where they got the material from? The "In Concert" film looks fantastic, so that's probably a transfer of an original film print. I was assuming that the other stuff came from folks in the gmDVD or EFDVD groups, depending on whether it was in PAL or NTSC, but "Three Dates With Genesis" looks worse than the gmDVD version, and the beginning is edited slightly. There are no credits that I can find naming the source for this material... does anyone know?

Fair use rationale for Image:GenesisBox1.jpg

[edit]

Image:GenesisBox1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Linking the songs or not?

[edit]

I linked the songs to the relevant albums. Another editor keps de-linking them. I can't find anything on the project page about this, but it would seem to make sense to me to keep the links there. Opinions please.... Stephenjh (talk) 20:27, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Still no discussion here about linking the songs, but now the section titles / albums are linked contrary to WP:MOS. Why? Stephenjh (talk) 22:24, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
