Genesis Live Performance of 'I Know What I Like' - 1976 Concert

Date: 1976

In early 1976, Genesis was in the midst of a transitional phase within their career. The live recording of "I Know What I Like" captures a performance during their "A Trick of the Tail" tour, which followed the release of their 1974 album "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" and the departure of Peter Gabriel. This period marked the first full album featuring Phil Collins as the primary lead vocalist after Gabriel's exit. "A Trick of the Tail" was released in early 1976 and showcased a blend of progressive rock elements that had characterized their earlier work, while also displaying a more accessible sound. The performance highlights Collins' dual role on stage, both as a drummer and frontman, setting a precedent for the band's future. Notably, the 1976 concert features Bill Bruford on drums, who was known for his work with bands like Yes, adding an exciting dynamic during this live rendition.
