Genesis Live Performance of 'Mama' at Montreal Forum Part 3

Venue: Forum de Montréal Location: Montreal, Quebec, Canada Date: November 21, 1983

In the midst of the 'Mama Tour' on November 21, 1983, Genesis was riding high after the release of their self-titled album 'Genesis' earlier that same year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, incorporating a more pop-oriented sound while still showcasing their progressive rock roots. It included hits like 'Mama' and 'That's All,' songs that became staples in their live shows, as seen in this live recording from the Forum de Montréal. The transition in their musical style also reflected changing times in the music industry, as they moved toward a broader audience without entirely abandoning their intricate musicality. During this period, Genesis solidified their reputation as one of the leading bands of the era, with Phil Collins emerging as a dominant frontman, both vocally and persona-wise, proving their capability to captivate live audiences.
