Genesis

On June 10, 1976, Genesis performed 'Squonk' live at the iconic Hammersmith Odeon in London, capturing a pivotal moment in their career shortly after the release of 'A Trick of the Tail.' This album was notable not only for being the first Genesis work recorded after the departure of frontman Peter Gabriel, but it also marked a successful transition to Phil Collins as the lead vocalist. The performance was recorded for the BBC's King Biscuit Show, showcasing the band's evolving sound and vibrant stage presence. What’s fascinating is how despite the lineup change, the band managed to retain their progressive rock essence, appealing to both long-time fans and new listeners. This particular concert illustrates their growth during the mid-1970s and set the stage for what would become a legendary run in the decades to follow.
