Genesis

In October 1973, Genesis was in a transformative phase of their career, having recently released the highly acclaimed album *Foxtrot* just a month prior to the live recording at Shepperton Studios. This album included signature tracks such as "Watcher of the Skies" and "Supper's Ready," both of which were part of their setlist during this live performance. The Shepperton recording captures Genesis at a pivotal moment, solidifying their reputation as leading figures in progressive rock. Interestingly, this period marked the early peak of their creative output, as they were beginning to attract a larger audience and gain critical recognition, partly due to their theatrical stage presence and complex musical arrangements. This performance serves as a snapshot of their dynamic live energy and artistic growth, preceding the release of their subsequent album, *Selling England by the Pound*, in 1973.
