Genesis

In July 1978, Genesis was riding high on the success of their album "...And Then There Were Three," which marked a significant transformation for the band following the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett. This live performance captures a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing their evolution into a more accessible rock sound, exemplified by the track "Burning Rope." Interestingly, this era saw Phil Collins take on a more prominent role not just as a drummer, but also as the lead vocalist, creating a unique blend of melodic rock that became their signature. Fans can feel the palpable energy in Chicago that night, as the band's intricate arrangements and Collins' emotive delivery brought the music to life, hinting at the commercial success that was soon to follow.
