Genesis

In January 1973, Genesis was in a pivotal phase of their career, promoting their album "Foxtrot," which was released in late 1972. This live performance at the Bataclan in Paris showcased the band's dynamic stage presence and their progressive rock style, earning them a devoted following in Europe. "Foxtrot" included fan-favorites like "Supper's Ready," and the band's elaborate live shows were characterized by Peter Gabriel's theatricality and intricate instrumentation. This recording captures the essence of Genesis during this transformative period, shortly before they would release their next studio album, "Selling England by the Pound," in 1973. It also highlights their growing reputation as a leading act in the progressive rock scene, setting the stage for their future success. The involvement of the Genesis Museum in restoring this footage reflects the enduring legacy and fan appreciation for the band's early performances.
