Co-founded by Peter Gabriel in 1965, Genesis came to define the prog-rock sound with their near-symphonic pop and highly theatrical live shows that involved masks, makeup, props, and elaborate staging. Though drummer Phil Collins assumed stewardship of Genesis after Gabriel's departure in 1975, fans generally acknowledge that the keyboardist's tenure with the band represents their artistic peak. This documentary offers a critical review of Genesis's recorded output during the Gabriel years (1970-1975) through archival footage, interviews with critics and musicologists, and performance clips.
