There are both audience audio and Pro video versions of the Genesis show in existence . However, so far we haven't been able to find any evidence of Jefferson Airplane,Tom Petty, Brand X or Atlanta Rhythm Section's performances being recorded for posterity.

A documentary was made of the festival, which is featured on the Genesis DVD "Then There Were Three 2007 remaster " as well as the Freddie Bannister boxed set (although this features only 23 minutes of the full documentary ) . This new release is the 23 minute version, it does not actually feature much of the concert itself, it focusses more on setting up the event and interviewing the band members as they go through their soundcheck in abominable weather. A pity that the whole show has not been released. |

Knebworth festival products
Various versions of promoter Freddy Bannisters Knebworth commemorative setsare now available
( NB : The Archive has no commercial ties with Freddy Bannister or his products , we've found that they are generally quite good value as they are well packaged and of reasonable quality and of course , there is nothing else "official " out there, so if you want a commemoration package and you are willing to spend the dough on it, then go for it. One word of warning though , The Bath Festival T shirts we were sent were nice looking but the print washed out after a dozen washes, so if you buy them, its perhaps best if don't wear them too often.
if you have any issues with the quality or delivery of any of these products please do not ask us to sort out your problems. We include this information to inform our viewers about the availablity of these items .
Please note that some of the audio sets on the bonus discs supplied with the boxed sets are audience tapes and vary considerably in quality . to our knowledge ,most have not been improved by remixing , so they are no better ( or worse ) than the free versions that have been in circulation for many years. Our advice is to check out the sources and read reviews of the items before you buy ) .
