Genesis

On June 30, 2012, Ray Wilson performed with the Berlin Symphony Ensemble as part of the Genesis Klassik program, bringing a symphonic twist to the iconic band's tunes. Before this live recording, Genesis had released their album "Calling All Stations" in 1997, marking a significant era in their evolution, particularly after the departure of Phil Collins. This era saw Wilson stepping into the role of lead vocalist, ushering in a fresh sound that still echoed the band’s earlier progressive rock roots. Interesting tidbit? The performance in Merkers took place in a unique underground location—a former salt mine, adding an eerie but exciting atmosphere to the classic tracks, blending nostalgia and innovation all at once. It’s fascinating how Genesis has continually transformed their musical journey while still captivating fans around the world.
