Genesis is a progressive rock band that formed in in the late 1960s and rose to super stardom in the 1980s after several iterations of the group. They went on to become one of the biggest-selling artists of all time and one of Britain’s most internationally renowned bands, last playing together in 2007 for the “Turn It On Again” tour.
Now, more than 14 years later and in the middle of a pandemic, the band has reunited to tour once again. But before they begin to play in front of live audiences across the UK, Ireland and North America, they must rehearse. GENESIS: THE LAST DOMINO? follows musicians Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford as they prepare for a return to the stage. Despite the complications and uncertainties of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the trio reunites to polish their skills and perfect their show.
The film focuses on the creative and emotional process involved in their reunion and features live performances, along with interviews with the band and support team. Viewers gain insight into what it takes to prepare a major rock show during extraordinary circumstances. Plus, they hear about Collins’ health issues and his move away from drumming as his son Nic Collins takes the sticks.
Songs performed include “Mama,” “Land of Confusion,” “Throwing It All Away,” and other Genesis classics.
