Genesis

On November 11, 1983, Genesis played a memorable show at the Rosemont Horizon in Chicago, notable for being part of their 'Mama Tour.' This tour succeeded their album 'Genesis,' released in 1983, which showcased a more accessible pop-rock sound compared to their earlier, more progressive works. The album featured hits like 'Mama' and 'Illegal Alien,' helping the band reach a wider audience. Interestingly, this live recording includes 'Carpet Crawlers,' a song that, despite being originally from their 1974 album 'The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway,' became a staple in their setlist. It marks a poignant moment as this tour was the last for Phil Collins in the frontman role, except for a single concert in 1992, which adds emotional weight to the performance. This recording captures Genesis at a pivotal point in their evolution, blending old favorites with their then-current sound.
