Description
The 1970s Decade: A Turbulent Time for Genesis Few bands have matched Genesis's creative output in the 1970s. During this decade, they released eight studio and two live albums, performed over a thousand concerts, and saw four members launch solo careers. The band weathered significant lineup changes, ultimately concluding as a trio of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford. This period was marked by incredible songwriting talent, which came together to shape the progressive rock genre and pioneer multimedia concert experiences. Genesis's music also became synonymous with a distinctive style, including their iconic stage attire. The band's journey from playing small gigs to headlining the Knebworth Festival in front of 80,000 fans is documented in this book. The story of Genesis in the 1970s is one of artistic peak and creative experimentation. This book tells the whole story of that decade, on record and on stage, together and apart.
