Although it has been on Youtube for a couple months, I just discovered this wonderful footage of Genesis performing on 31 March 1976 at the Concert Bowl, Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. Super8 footage taken by concert photographer Jim Kelly has been cleaned up, uspscaled, and synced with audio. The Movement does not list any known audio recordings of this show which makes me think the audio here is from the second night in Toronto on the following day or perhaps a few days earlier in Buffalo. Good recordings of both nights exist.
Kelly's nickname was "Speedy" and I've seen that name in trading hubs. I wonder if it was the same person.
Phil and Steve both appear to be wearing the same outfits that they are in the In Concert film that would be filmed 3 months or so later.
It's neat to see video of Phil dressed as Harry for "Robbery, Assault, and Battery" and of "it/Watcher of the Skies". Mike is playing a different double neck than he does in In Concert. Looks to be an 8-string bass on the bottom there. His playing on "Los Endos" is hot! Bruford is great here too. Love his work on "Supper's Ready".
