Although he took part in the documentary and was involved in publicising it by attending the premiere in Leicester Square with Banks, Collins, Gabriel and Rutherford, Steve Hackett dismissed it following its transmission on BBC2 as a "biased account of Genesis history" which "totally ignores" his solo work.
The documentary does not mention the 1977 studio album "Wind & Wuthering" (although its track "Your Own Special Way" is briefly featured) and their final album, the commercial disappointment "Calling All Stations" featuring Phil Collins's short-lived replacement as frontman, Ray Wilson.
A 3 CD boxset called R-Kive was released by Genesis to promote this documentary.
The inclusion of an interview with convicted paedophile Jonathan King caused criticism of the BBC, including by Conservative MP Rob Wilson and the charity Safermedia, and it was accused of hypocrisy as it has taken the decision not to broadcast footage of other sex offenders such as Dave Lee Travis and the late Sir Jimmy Savile.
Although he is shown in a few photos and very briefly in the Roundhouse footage, initial drummer John Mayhew isn't actually mentioned.
