Genesis

In early 1980, when Genesis performed "Follow You Follow Me" live in London, they were riding high on the success of their album "Duke," released just months earlier in March. This period marked a significant turning point for the band, as it represented their first album to feature a more accessible sound, blending progressive rock roots with pop sensibilities. Interestingly, this shift helped broaden their appeal, and "Follow You Follow Me" became a standout hit, symbolizing their transition into this new era. The live recording, captured on November 30, 1979, showcases the band's electrifying stage presence, particularly with Phil Collins at the helm as both a drummer and charismatic frontman. With their performances gaining increasing acclaim, this era also marked the beginning of a remarkable commercial ascent for Genesis, paving the way for future mega-hits.
