Genesis

In March 1970, Genesis was still in the early stages of their career, carving out their identity in the progressive rock scene. This live recording at the Roundhouse in London captures the band just before the release of their third studio album, "Nursery Cryme," which would drop later that same year. The live show features the vibrant theatricality for which they would become celebrated, including Peter Gabriel's compelling stage presence. Interestingly, this performance also highlighted their complex sound that blended rock with classical influences, something that would set them apart. The Roundhouse venue was iconic, and by performing there, Genesis began establishing a solid reputation among London's emerging music scene. Looking back, it's fascinating to see how performances at such formative gigs laid the groundwork for their later success and innovative artistry.
