Not sure if this has been posted here or not, but it's the first time I've seen this link to the early restored Genesis footage. Gabriel was truly a showman (or a flake and bake, depending on your perspective).

From Dangerous Minds:
"The restoration of the film of Genesis performing at Shepperton Studios in 1973 is perhaps the single most heroic episode in the history of fanatical fandom.
I might not have all the details exactly correct, but the gist of it is that about ten years ago a guy who goes by the online handle of "King Lerch" became aware of a 16mm film of of a live Genesis concert from 1973 that was being auctioned off as part of an estate sale in New York. He then noticed that a small group of Genesis fans were planning to pool their resources, rather than bid against each other and joined forces with them. No one had any idea what exactly was on the film or even what condition it was in, so by banding together, their risk was spread out, and minimized."
