Notes:

Popshop '72 By Alan Hewitt

This recording is from a Belgian television appearance from January 1972. The programme has been variously titled "Belgian TV '72" and "Rock Of The Seventies". It was recorded for general boradcast in Europe and has gained several television screenings in the UK. Recorded at the Pop Deux studios in Brussels on March 20 and 21 1972  this footage is a vital link between the formative Genesis, and later performances. The broadcast captures the band when they were still the "intense young men" which Armando Gallo wrote about. The track listing comprises standard items from the then current Genesis live set including Fountain Of Salmacis; The Musical Box and The Return Of The Giant Hogweed. Interestingly enough; it also includes the only known visual documented performance of Twilight Alehouse, a song from the very earliest incarnation of the band but at time of broadcast one which had not been committed to vinyl.
