Genesis Live in London: Duke's Travels / Duke's End Performance
In 1980, Genesis was riding high on the success of their album 'Duke,' which they released just a few weeks prior to this live recording at the Lyceum Ballroom in London. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing their transition from a progressive rock outfit to a more mainstream sound. Notably, 'Duke' was Genesis’s first album after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, and it ushered in a new era for the band, characterized by personal storytelling and catchy melodies. The live performance captured here features the epic 'Duke's Travels' and 'Duke's End,' highlighting Phil Collins's powerful vocals and the band's cohesive musicianship. Interestingly, this concert was part of a brief tour and remains a fan favorite, reflecting both the band's stage prowess and their evolution during this pivotal time.
