Description
Experience GENESIS LIVE (1973) brought to life by The Musical Box, known for its historical accuracy. Relive classics from Nursery Cryme & Foxtrot, plus rare songs never performed again.
A haunting album cover reveals the unique and dramatic world of GENESIS on stage, released as GENESIS LIVE (1973). The show would include songs from NURSERY CRYME, FOXTROT - Genesis’ latest album - but also rarities the band would never perform again.
The audience would witness for the first time PETER GABRIEL's antics and mysterious costumes adorning SUPPER’S READY, GENESIS’ masterpiece. This show has acquired a cult-like following amongst GENESIS fans and is considered the quintessential early GENESIS performance.
GENESIS LIVE was recorded at De Montfort Hall in Leicester England on February 25Th 1973.
50 years later, THE MUSICAL BOX, internationally renowned for its historical accuracy, presents the original GENESIS LIVE performance in painstaking detail and offers an evening of time travel.
