Genesis

The live performance captured on May 16, 1987, in Montreux, Switzerland, took place during a pivotal time in Genesis’s career, as they were firmly establishing themselves as leading figures in progressive rock and pop. Prior to this concert, the band released their album "Invisible Touch" in 1986, which was notably their most commercially successful record, featuring hits like "Invisible Touch" and "Land of Confusion." The Montreux show showcased songs from various albums, including "Mama" and "That's All" from "Genesis," and "Abacab." This period marked a significant transition for Genesis, transitioning from the more complex progressive rock of their earlier years to a more mainstream sound while maintaining their intricate musicality. The performance's intimate atmosphere, despite the band's growing fame, reflects their ability to connect with audiences on a personal level, a hallmark of their live shows during this era.
