Genesis

By the time Genesis took the stage in Toronto on August 28, 1982, they were riding high on the success of their album "Abacab," released just the previous year. This album marked a pivotal shift, steering the band's sound toward a more accessible, pop-oriented style while still retaining traces of their progressive rock roots. The Toronto concert was part of their extensive tour promoting "Abacab," showcasing hits like "No Reply at All" and the title track itself. Interestingly, this live performance solidified Genesis's reputation for delivering visually stunning shows, featuring elaborate stage designs and engaging theatrics that captivated audiences. It was during this era that the band truly became a powerhouse on the live circuit, blending artistry with entertainment in a way that few others could.
