Genesis

In 1971, Genesis was really coming into their own, capturing the hearts of progressive rock fans with their thematic complexity and experimental sounds. Before this live recording in Belgium, they had just released their third studio album, 'Nursery Cryme,' which hit shelves in late 1971, showcasing songs like 'The Musical Box' and 'The Return of the Giant Hogweed.' This album was significant, as it marked the beginning of Genesis's distinctive style that would define their future work. Interestingly, during this concert at La Ferme, you can feel the raw energy of the band as they explore their musical narrative in front of a mesmerized audience. Notably, this era features the charismatic Peter Gabriel as the frontman, whose theatrical stage presence adds layers to their live performances, making these early shows quite unforgettable.
