One of the most bootlegged radio broadcasts in Genesis' history was recorded at the Empire Pool, Wembley. Genesis played two nights at Wembley in April of 1975, and the BBC were contracted to record both nights. Some sources quote the recording date as 14th, but comparison with an audience tape from 15th shows the recording is from the second night. This is Westwood One's initial version of this concert, the first of many. Sent out on a two LP set, the first part is forty-five minutes of Wembley 1975, the second part contains tracks from The Nassau Coliseum in Long Island, New York from 29 November 1981, except No Reply At All and maybe Misunderstanding which were most likely recorded the previous night at The Savoy Theatre on 28 November 1981.

This exact show was released at least three more times by Westwood One subsequent to this broadcast. One was in May 1987 on Genesis - In Concert, one in December 1988 on Genesis - In Concert and one in February 1990 on Genesis - Westwood One In Concert.
