Genesis

In April 1974, Genesis was riding high on the success of their album 'Selling England by the Pound,' which had solidified their status in the progressive rock scene. This live recording from the Centre Sportif de l'Université de Montréal captures the band at a pivotal moment, showcasing their intricate time signatures and theatrical performances. Notably, 'Cinema Show,' performed in this concert, features a complex 7/16 time signature—an impressive feat that set Genesis apart from many contemporaries. This era saw Peter Gabriel's flamboyant stage presence elevating the band’s live performances to almost theatrical levels, making it a memorable experience for their fans. It's fascinating to think about how these live shows not only solidified their artistic vision but also laid the groundwork for their massive global following.
