Genesis in the 1970s, Paperback / softback Book

Genesis in the 1970s Paperback / softback

Part of the Decades series

Paperback / softback

Description

Few, if any bands, have been as prolific or consistently creative as Genesis were in the 1970s, both together and apart.

Across that decade, the mothership released eight studio and two live albums, played a thousand concerts and launched the solo careers of four of its members.

Through it all, they weathered the departures of Anthony Phillips, Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, ending the decade as a self-contained trio of Tony Banks, Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford, one that was about to become the biggest band in the world. For many though, the 1970s represents their artistic peak as a hothouse for incredible songwriters.

It made for a combustible, heady brew when those talents were all harnessed in the service of the band, helping create the progressive rock genre, pioneering the multimedia concert experience, as well as making a rakishly worn daffodil the headgear of choice for the cognoscenti. Genesis began the decade by playing before an audience of one and asking if he had 'any requests?' and ended it by headlining the Knebworth Festival in front of 80,000 fans.

This book tells the whole story of that tumultuous decade, on record and on stage, together and apart.
