Office Space is a great movie. I was able to appreciate it so much more when I got my first "real" job working with a software company.
Read a little more about my question (which I had seen somewhere that I would assume to have reliable info) and found that it's not entirely accurate.
According to a couple of Genesis and Gabriel bios, Gabriel told the band members he was leaving in December 1974, early in the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour, which ran until May '75. Gabriel himself wrote a statement for the British papers confirming the split in August '75, in which he admitted "the decision had been made some time ago."
Gabriel had said in an interview that seeing a certain person's performance inspired him to go solo and he later wrote Solsbury Hill about that experience, but according to what I just read, he didn't see this performance until November '75. So, while the performance may have reaffirmed his belief that he had made the right decision about parting ways with his band, it wasn't the inspiration for him leaving. But Solsbury Hill was still inspired by this person's show.
Now for hints:
A member of the guy's (yes, it's a male performer) band is "connected".
The show in question was at the Hammersmith in London, but the guy is most definitely American.
