For a long time this youtube video had the only live footage and essentially provided the first attempt at creating a music video for the song Battle Of Epping Forest. Constructed from footage taken from Montreal 1974 8mm film and various other sources. The audio is the original soundboard radio broadcast from April 21, Montreal. Only the last 10 minutes or so are shown here due to youtube's time constraints.
This footage of the un-edited version of The Battle Of Epping Forest is ONLY available on the now famous Genesis - Six Hours Live 2-DVD set, The only visual compilation that celebrates the music of 70s Genesis. NO obscene interruption of the music by reviewers as in other 70s compilations which never show you complete songs either.
Just well over 6 hours of uninterrupted 70s Genesis.
NOTE: The Montreal 1974 show is the only 8mm shot concert. The other 6 performances are regular pro-shot shows.
***********************
This song is also available on the Live at Montreal, 1974 2-CD set!
This audio CD set has the entire concert un-edited. Check out the playlist at http:// www.tommygunvideo.com

Times has passed ! Does the 6 hours DVD's include the 1972 live TV Belgium ? That video is away from the music score under !

[Tommygun1028]

@Sylvain894 Yes it does, it included the entire Belgium TV broadcast from 1972

[SixDayWar67]

Try reading the lyrics of this song while listening (google) and imagine any band today writing anything close to this.

Simply amazing !

Armando Gallo said that when Peter Gabriel left, the magic was gone. I agree. He brought a mystique and very peculiar sense of humour to Genesis that never was replaced. His in between song story telling was legendary. He was quite a character back then. Ask most fans back then why they wished to attend a Genesis concert and they will tell you that Peter Gabriel was the main attraction - although the music was pretty extraordinary too. : )

Phil irritates me sometime when he sings.

But he's the best god damn drummer in early Prog. <3

[KillingLies1]

immune? i really like this song , but the first verse wasn't really good, the best comes when tony banks plays the organ.

[moco635]

I work at a Canadian Bank in NYC and every other week or so, a lady from our Montreal office calls for some rates...her name: Louise...every time she calls w/her french accent i can't help myself and say, and shes used to me by now..."Louise, Is the Reverend hard to please?" she doesn't mind anymore.hahaha

[firthoffifthtom]

Try remembering the lyrics to this? Whew! how the fuk you write lyrics. WOW is a sick tune. Ridiculous!

[drebatista]

This is so good that they should be arrested just for that song!

[troublesomecorsair]

Oh my gosh... gives me the chills. Fantastic!

[MasterYumyums]

I'd definitely call it 14/8 or 7/4 more than 7/8, each note's more of an 8th note than a 16th.

[HughieDixon]

My favourite song from the SEBTP album. It's like a modern folk tale. Brilliant.

[WhatFuckingUsernameI]

Brilliant acting on Peters part even though the picture qualitey is poor. He was able to create so many characters just by putting a stocking over his head. Phil should have taken a page out of Kieth Moons book and put on a dress for this one. Also Tony deserves a mention for being able to create such a diverse soundscape and live too. I think this might have been as early as 1972.
