Last month scores of Genesis fans across the country experienced the worldwide digital cinema multiple-city theatrical premiere of When In Rome 2007, with the return of the beloved band and their grand finale performance in front of 500,000 fans at the Circo Massimo in Rome. The digital cinema event was presented in conjunction with the triple DVD set to hit stores the next day exclusively at Wal-Mart, Sam’s Club, Walmart.Com, Samsclub.com and genesis-music.com.

 

D&E Entertainment was selected by Rhino to exclusively market and distribute the worldwide HD theatrical premiere of the Genesis film. D&E rolled out the multi-theatre presentation in more than 40 select theatres across the U.S. including Atlanta, New York, Houston, Seattle, and San Francisco.

 

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. 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 stage production for the Turn It On Again tour included reportedly the largest screen ever used at a concert, spanning nearly 210 feet. The set was designed by Mark Fisher; the lighting show was the work of Patrick Woodroffe. During the tour, Genesis played to 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.
