What you have before you are the never-ending results of over seven
years of collecting and research. I've visited countless web sites
to collect all of the nuggets of information that contributed to the building
of this bootleg database. I've tried to gather info on as many bootlegs
as I could find-- both commercially produced and those privately traded. A major
tip of the hat to the legendary Willow
Farm web site for being the inspiration for this archive of information.
A great number of scans and and even more background information came from
that site and I will always be indebted to that site's author. I
humbly ask anyone with either bootlegs not listed here or info in conflict
with what I've posted here to drop me a line with the corrections or additions.
The greatest source today for cover scans is Simon Funnell's The
Movement. His site, however, does not show any thumbnails
of the scans or written info on specific releases. I have borrowed
numerous scans from The Movement and strongly urge you to travel
over to that site if you want the scans in much larger formats. (I'm
only keeping the scans @ 150x150 pixels so you can see the front cover
with its related information.) The
listing is divided by concert tour while the period preceding the release
of Foxtrot is combined on one page. I've included the 1982
WOMAD Reunion show at the end of the Encore Tour page. I also have
three other pages for bootlegs solely based on studio outtakes, bootlegs
of strictly live material from varying tours and performances, and one
final page that gathers all of the mixed live and studio compilation releases. By the
way, if a bootleg has some tracks from another date during the same tour,
I have kept the bootleg on that tour's page. If a bootleg has live
tracks from different tours, that bootleg can be found on the Live Compilations
page. If a bootleg has both studio and live performances together,
that bootleg would be found on the Mixed Live & Studio Compilations
page. And one last bit of info, I have treated any television or
radio recording sessions as studio recordings (i.e. BBC Radio sessions
and the Belgian television performance). There
is also one final note that I need to include here. This page is
merely a gathering of information on Genesis bootlegs. I do not sell
copies of anything listed here nor can I give you information on how or
where to acquire them. I don't have anything against boots-- I collect
them myself. This page is not a shopping list for visitors and I
simply will not answer e-mails I asking, "how can I find this release"
or "can you make me a copy."
I do not own
all of these recordings! I do not sell these
recordings! I cannot tell you
where to buy copies!
