GENESIS performs The Knife live at the Lyceum Ballroom, London
This electrifying live performance of 'The Knife' showcasing Genesis at the Lyceum Ballroom in London on May 7, 1980, comes during an exciting chapter in the band's evolution. Just before this recording, Genesis had released 'And Then There Were Three' in 1978, welcoming a new era as they moved from a progressive rock sound to a more mainstream approach. Funny enough, this was the band's first album as a trio, after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett. The live recording captures the essence of their dynamic stage presence during a time when they were still grappling with identity shifts while also experimenting with their music. Audiences were treated to a blend of old and new Genesis, highlighting a pivotal point in their artistic journey. With Peter Gabriel's unique storytelling flair and the band's theatrical performance, this night in London undoubtedly left fans wanting more!
