DVD Reviews of Genesis - The Video Show

DVD Review: "Rhino Home Video": I hope you read this.
Summary: 4 Stars

I was actually surprised to see this DVD at the store. I'm trying to build a large music DVD collection, so that I can get away from movies and still enjoy my surround sound with music.
But, Rhino can do so much more with music videos. I'm surprised that Rhino hasn't exploited the classic music video market yet. I'll talk more about this, before I close this review.

After the Progressive Rock Era of Genesis (the 1970's), I didn't really follow Genesis too much in the 1980's. Although, I have heard their hits on the radio, to me, it was just a different Genesis. The group Yes, also changed from Progressive to Pop.

This Genesis video collection is better than I had first thought. I knew I wanted the "Land of Confusion" video. That video alone compelled me to buy this DVD. But, I was certainly surprised at all the other great videos that there are here. Right away, I took to liking the videos of "Mama" and "Home By the Sea". Many others will grow on me quickly, I'm sure. So again, what I'm saying is, this video collection is far better than I expected. I've just seen the new 3 CD collection of the best of Genesis, released by Rhino as well. Unfortunately, they again, chose to give us edited versions of some songs and therefore, reduces the appeal of the whole collection to me. I cannot accept the single version of "Tonight, Tonight, Tonight."

Now back to the DVD. Sure, there are no extras. No documentaries, etc. What would have been nice as a few extras for this DVD, would have been a few videos of the guys doing their solo hits. Some Peter Gabriel, some Mike Rutherford, and most especially, Phil Collins.

With Phil Collins, they could have giving us his videos of "In the Air Tonight", "I Don't Care Anymore", and maybe a few others of his more darker songs. Then, they could go ahead and release a Phil Collins video collection with all his wimpy, schmultzy, love songs like his greatest hits CD was a few years back.

Now, back to Rhino Home Video. Since this is the age of the music DVD video collection, why hasn't Rhino been putting out "Classic MTV" video collections? During the 1990's, Rhino has released music CD collections like: "Have a Nice Day" (25 volumes), "Didn't It Blow Your Mind" (20 volumes), Billboard Hits Collections (10 big hits per CD, from the 1950's, through the 1990's), "Rock Instrumentals" (5 volumes), "The British Invasion", "DIY", etc. The list could go on and on. Back in the mid 1990's, Rhino released a double CD collection called "Classic MTV: 1983". Imagine if that collection were available as the DVD collection that it was meant to be. I was surprised that Rhino only did this one CD collection. They could have done so many more.

So Rhino, why aren't you releasing multiple volumes of "One Hit Wonders" MTV video collections from the "classic MTV" era? I would love to have a classic MTV library on DVD. Something like 20 videos per DVD, year by year, all the way through the 1980's. All the "One Hit Wonders" that we would never expect to see a whole video collection of by that specific artist released on DVD. A Flock of Seagulls, The Art of Noise, Thomas Dolby, Missing Persons, After the Fire, a-Ha, Nena, Devo, Berlin, Ultravox, etc. etc. etc. Rhino could continuously collect pop videos and release them in the DVD format. And built on various themes too. To this day, it is still practically an untouched market.

I really don't know what Rhino has been doing for the past 10 years. I haven't been following Rhino like I use to. Releasing "classic MTV" videos would definately put Rhino back in the forefront of today's purchasing music market.

Rhino! Can you hear me? If other's agree with me, click "yes" to acknowledge this review.
