Genesis

On September 25, 1981, Genesis delivered a stunning performance at the Plaza de Toros Monumental in Barcelona, capturing the essence of their progressive rock era. This live recording came shortly after their successful album 'Duke,' which had been released earlier that year. 'Duke' marked a significant turning point for the band as it was the first to showcase their evolving sound while leaning more towards pop elements. Interestingly, this album also introduced the hit single 'Turn It On Again,' a fan favorite that combined catchy melodies with intricate arrangements. By this point in their career, Genesis had established themselves as a powerhouse in the music scene, blending theatricality with musicianship, which is palpable in their live shows. The energy and visual storytelling from this Barcelona concert exemplify why their live performances became legendary.
