The video for this Tony Banks-penned song was shot during a soundcheck at the Knebworth Festival on June 24th, 1978. The audio was a replay of the studio version of the song, with the band miming the performance. Despite having a music video, Many Too Many only made it the 43rd position on the UK charts and it is one of the few Genesis songs that has never been performed in concert.
Along with his work with Genesis, director Ken O’Neill also did videos for The Smiths and Elton John.
Enjoy!
A beautiful song, and it is a bit surprising that, at the time when all of Phil’s ballads were hits, that this one slipped through the cracks….I like him best with the “Genesis” sound
