Excellent work. I am the lighting engineer for a UK Genesis tribute called 'Genesis Visible Touch' (GVT). This is certainly the way we would like to go in production however we have many steps to climb. Thanks for this, much appreciated and Best Regards.. Mac
I first saw Genesis live in 1987 when they performed at Roundhay Park in Leeds during the Invisible Touch tour. I’ve booked tickets for the Leeds Arena show in September this year. I so hope the concert goes ahead. Probably the last chance to see the boys perform together.
Yeah, I'll be at the Leeds show as well. I first saw Phil at the NEC in 1994 on the Both Sides tour, but only got to see Genesis in 2007 (being a young'un and all), although it was seeing videos of the 84, 87 and 92 tours that got me hooked on lighting.
I really enjoyed this! Huge fan of Vari*Lite. Reading your notes, you seem to know a lot about people and lights... I'm curious who did the lighting for Tomoyasu Hotei, for his 2014 Into The Light tour.. I thought it was pretty spectacular for a small stage.
This is a trailer... they took the concert down but I have it on Blu-Ray. Lighting gets more interesting on into the clip. The lights I assume may be a Vari*Lite competitor. th-cam.com/video/BBNUhS9FB7E/w-d-xo.html
Hi, Thanks for the kind comments. Before the pandemic I'm a freelance lighting engineer, so this is the kind of stuff I would be doing in the real world (although unfortunately not to this scale, I have not climbed the ladder enough yet). Currently I'm still stuck working for temp agencies. As for the trailer, I'm afraid I do not know who the designer was for that show. It does look good and very technical, although I think the band was a hidden. There are a lot more competitors to Varilite these days. Back in the 1980s they pretty much owned the moving light market, but more companies started emerging later on. From the looks of it, I recon on that show they used Clay Paky Sharpies and B-Eye K10s. Hope this helps :)
Be interesting to see what they have in mind for their forthcoming UK arena tour, assuming it still happens. You would hope, that if it really is to be their last time out, they would try to do something special.
Hey @Anthrolight Productions, The lighting designs are really excellent and generate a lot of interest for a "Vari*Lite fanatic" like me. I also think it's great that, for example, different shades of green appear as with all color options. And a lot more (e.g. cone shapes) Just some questionss: There are relatively few options for integrating a video wall in the designs, because either light in all possible ways or a media screen and occasionally "waving" Vari*Lites All in all, many thanks, keep it up and take other forms (e.g. Genesis Tour 1987 vs Pink Floyd etc.) of the arrangement of spotlights or spotlights under the stage (Genesis 92. but unfortunately the effects didn't work). It's also sad at the arenas, where it only gets so dark later in the evening that the light show is even visible. But: The designs only works because each member is symmetrically arranged. How would the lightshow look if it came to the "classic Genesis arrangement", i.e. 2 guitars / basses next to each other but in front of a drum kit, singer in the middle, kyboarder on the side not directly in front of the possible second drum kit. Who knows, maybe you will develop the Vari * Lites further ?! All the best :-) Sorry, English is not my regular language
Brilliant work. Loved this. Saw the mama tour in 84. Thank you!!!

I doubt it. Their show has become so formulaic they will not dare to deviate from it.
Add about 200 more Varilights

This performance of the song is not from 1992, its from the Wembley 1987 show
I used the track from 'The Way We Walk: The Shorts' and thought it was from 1992, but looking into it you're correct it was from a 1987 recording.
