Genesis

In March 1971, Genesis was right on the cusp of transformation, transitioning from their early progressive rock roots toward a broader sound that would soon capture global attention. Just before this live performance at Ferme V in Belgium, they had released 'Nursery Cryme' in late 1971, which showcased their emerging sophistication and complex musicality. This album introduced new heights for the band, including fan-favorite tracks like 'The Musical Box.' This live recording captures the raw energy and theatrical ethos that Genesis was famous for during this era, all while they were still performing under the shadow of their earlier works. Interestingly, this concert also helped lay the groundwork for their future experimentation with stage presence, setting a precedent for larger productions that fans would come to expect in subsequent tours.
