Genesis

On April 26, 1975, Genesis performed "Ripples" during a pivotal time in their career, having just released their album "A Trick of the Tail". This marked a significant moment, as it was their first album after the departure of frontman Peter Gabriel. Phil Collins stepped into the lead vocalist role, showcasing his unique style that would help define the band's sound moving forward. The live performance reflects the band's transition into a more straightforward rock sound while still holding on to their progressive roots. It's fascinating how this period was not just about surviving post-Gabriel; it was about thriving and exploring new musical directions, as seen in the emotional depth of tracks like "Ripples". Watching this performance, you can sense the excitement and uncertainty of a band at a crossroads, embarking on an adventurous journey.
