Come si può vedere, i Genesis dovevano suonare Lunedi il 29,ma sono stati spostati Domenica 28 per qualche motivo. Questoè il motivo per cui la data viene erroneamente indicata come il 29

in alcune pubblicazioni.

The Great Western Festival - the festival they couldn't stoptakes place next weekend at Tupholme Hall, Bardney, tenmiles from the centre of Lincoln. It has been fraught withdifficulties from the word go and even now Great Western areunder court restrictions. Originally the Great Westerncompany announced their intention to hold a festival atCanterbury this weekend many months ago. Local feeling ranhigh and an alternative site had to be found and local feelingran high everywhere. It wasn't until last week that the lastrumblings in the courts died down and the organizers wereobliged to give an undertaking that the festival would not beconducted in such a way as to cause a nuisance. Thus theonus is on Great Western to prove to the country that they canhold a well organised event: the outcome of the NightAssemblies Bill fiasco and future legislation depends verymuch on what happens next weekend.

On the eve of the biggest festival to be held in Britain for twoyears, the organisers made a desperate appeal to fans tobehave sensibly. If the fans cause a nuisance, the organisersof the Great Western Express, at Tupholme, near Lincoln thisweekend, face possible imprisonment ' and it may be the endof festivals in this country. Stern measures have been takenby the High Court to protect the local residents. If things gowrong, actor Staniey Baker and backer Lord Harlech togetherwith chief booke; John Martin, may end up in jail ‘'The courthas slapped an injunction on three points: congestion ofroados, trespassing, and noise. if any of these occur, we facea maximum prison sentenced six months," Martin told the MMthis week. " But we are going ahead with the festival."

Latest additions to the festival are Wishbone Ash, AtomnicRooster, Status Quo and Curtis Muldoon, but it becameevident this week that Sly Stone will not be appearing despitecontracts having been exchanged. The Beach Boys will takeover Sly's bill topping spot on Sunday.

The Great Western Festival the festival they couldn't stop takes place next weekend at Tupholme Hall, Bardney, ten miles from the centre of Lincoln. It has been fraught with difficulties from theword go and even now Great Western are under court restrictions. Originally the Great Western company announced their intention to hold a festival at Canterbury this weekend many months ago.Local feeling ran high and an alternative site had to be found and local feeling ran high everywhere.It wasn't until last week that the last rumblings in the courts died down and the organizers were obliged to give an undertaking that the festival would not be conducted in such a we, as to cause anuisance. Thus the onus is on Great Western to prove to the country that they can hold a well organised event: the outcome of the Night Assemblies Bill fiasco and future legislation depends verymuch on what happens next weekend.Great Western have pledged to hold an enjoyable event. Their bill is vast, and their resources seem endless. At the last count, 34 bands were due to appear on the main stage, while 20 will appearin the "Giants of Tomorrow " marquee, and 13 folk artists in the folk tent. But even the best laid plans can go astray and if every act mentioned appears Great Western will have done remarkablywell. The Faces, Joe Cocker and the Beach Boys are bound to attract the most interest.And with groups like Rory Gallagher Groundhogs, Buddy Miles, Ry Cooder, Lindisfarne, the Incredibles, Sha Na Na and Humble Pie also on the bill, the music should be excellent. The bill is largebut the main stage will close down promptly at midnight each night, according to John Martin, the chief booker for the event. It has never been the organisers intention to have the main actsparading on and off stage from Friday night until Monday without a break.For insomniacs there will be a film shown in the main arena after midnight and other, smaller, musical sessions in marquees. On top of that the organisers promise poets, street theatre players and,perhaps, a circus act or two in the environmental arena. In the mornings between l0 am. and l p.m. there will be outdoor folk singing in a tent if wet and the "Giants of Tomorrow " will follow in thesame tent. Security will probably be pretty strict. The Great Western company have brought in the security corps, from the NJF Festivals which took place at Plumpton two and three years ago.British Rail will be running special trains from Kings Cross and Liverpool street stations to Lincoln with a shuttle service from there to Bardney.

If talking of a racehorse one would say it's "looking good in its coat, has been galloping well, and is thoroughly wound up for the big one"; in music somethingsimilar can be said of Genesis. There couldn't be a better "buzz" about a Derby favourite.

Individually diffident, almost shy, the five men of Genesis Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett collectively raise a profile inperformance almost frightening in its attack and intensity. Their music could be said to lie somewhere between that of the Moody Blues and King Crimson, thoughdifferent from either one. Echoes and evocations, no more: The separateness of Genesis has been preserved through three years of careful development, includinglongish periods "off the road" to beat writing and line-up problems.

Singer Peter Gabriel, bassist 12 string player Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks who presides over Hammond, Mellotron and piano, were together at CharterhouseSchool, where the group began. After an initial (and highly promising) swing round the clubs and colleges, Genesis paused to take stock a year ago.

As a result, Steve Hackett was acquired on guitar, and has proved to be every bit as fluent and inventive as the group had hoped. Phil Collins, a one-time ArtfulDodger in the London production of "Oliver" (and as ebullient a person as that might suggest), came in on drums. Since then, Phil has established himself in giggingand recording circles as one of the finest young drummers around, tasteful and able to drive or support the complex writing for which Genesis are noted; listen tohis work in such numbers as "Giant Hogweed" or "Musical Box."

The group's first Charisma album "Trespass" in the autumn of 1970 had a fine critical success, and began to build for them a solid following. It also, remarkably, hada great success in Belgium and Italy. The second "Nursery Cryme," out last October, broadened and consolidated that European success, extended it to Americaand, without any great fuss, has settled down in Britain as one of Charisma's "best sellers." Just now, too, the group has released only its second single in twoyears, "Happy The Man," a number familiar to their following for some time past.

An eye-catching feature of Genesis is the powerful, very individual singing of Peter Gabriel. An apparently straight, almost romantic delivery lures you to relax thenwithout warning he garrottes you from behind with a line of incredible savagery, eyes flashing, voice heavily loaded. His timing and quick switching of targets havethe flair of a good actor. But he also has an offbeat sense of humor. He leavens the performance with introductory stories of his own writing, stories in the "Mad"magazine dimension.

Indeed, there is a cinematic quality to Genesis which few groups have. There is more to them than music, but the music is not less than fine. One senses plot andsub-plot, swift changes of mood; lyric used as honey for what turns out to be a bear-trap, and when silence returns their songs leave a rainbow of euphoria or a ringof menace. Genesis begin a national tour with Lindisfarne late September, release a new album in October, and will be touring the United States from mid-November.Undoubtedly a group arriving at the level or recognition they have long deserved.
