Genesis Live in Paris featuring SmallTalk Performance

Venue: RTL Studios Location: Paris, Île-de-France, France Date: December 13, 1997

Before the iconic performance captured in "Genesis Live Paris 13th Dec 1997," Genesis had released their album "Calling All Stations" earlier that same year. This album, which marked a new chapter for the band, featured vocalist Ray Wilson stepping in after Phil Collins' departure, showcasing a fresh yet familiar sound for longtime fans. Interestingly, 'Shipwrecked' from that album became a single, sparking debates among fans about the band's choices, especially with standout tracks like 'Small Talk.' The band's resilience during this transitional phase is commendable, reflecting their ability to evolve while still resonating with their audience. This live recording at RTL Studios presents a unique glimpse into Genesis's journey, demonstrating their adaptability and continued passion for music in a shifting landscape.
