Genesis Concert at the Lyceum Ballroom: Performing 'Deep in the Motherload' and More
In May 1980, Genesis delivered a captivating performance at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, which took place around the release of their album "Duke," launched just weeks earlier in March. This live recording captures the band during a transformative phase, as they were blending art rock with more accessible pop elements, and "Duke" marked the beginning of a more commercially successful era. Fans were thrilled to witness classics like "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight" and "Carpet Crawlers" alongside fresh tracks such as "Deep in the Motherload," showcasing their dynamic range live. Interestingly, this concert was part of the band's European tour, where they honed their new sound and stage presence, driving the evolution of their music and captivating audiences in a way that only Genesis could.
