Genesis

In 1981, Genesis was riding high on the wave of success from their album "Abacab," which was released earlier that same year. This live recording captures the energy and dynamism of their performance at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, showcasing their shift towards a more rock-oriented sound that marked a departure from their earlier progressive roots. The band's ability to blend intricate melodies with catchy hooks was becoming a hallmark of their style, and "Abacab" exemplified this evolution. Interestingly, the album itself generated several hit singles, leading to a thriving live tour, which included this iconic concert. Fans loved the mix of music from both their earlier and later works during the shows, creating a rich tapestry of sounds that defined Genesis's remarkable adaptability and creativity during this vibrant period in their career.
