I never got the opportunity to see Genesis in concert with Peter Gabriel but the band continued on and evolved with Gabriel’s departure to remain a progressive rock force to be reckoned with.
The album “Wind and Wuthering” has always been a favorite of mine and it propelled the band to a second act that led them ultimately to be a pop rock super group led by drummer/ vocalist Phil Collins.
And then there were three.
The band’s popularity was expanded even further with their MTV era videos which coincided with many Top 40 radio hits. Genesis had several incarnations; progressive rock pioneers to mass appeal super group.
They were a great band whose live performances never disappointed.

There is a fairly recent documentary about the band wherein the members look back on their careers and seem to try and reclaim their rock credibility. Genesis has seemingly dropped off the radar screen since disbanding but the songs are most definitely worth revisiting as the catalog of music contains many extraordinary performances that stand up to the test of time.
