Genesis Tickets, Concert Dates And Schedule

Genesis is an English progressive rock band formed in 1967. The band's notable members included Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins, both of whom achieved additional success as solo artists and in other ventures. Between the 1970s and 1980s, Genesis changed from a progressive art rock band, with complex song structures, elaborate instrumentation, and theatrical live shows to a more pop-oriented band. On October 18th 2006, the British Broadcasting Corporation announced that members of the band, including Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks, had agreed to reunite for a world tour and were exploring the possibility of recording new material for Genesis. Genesis recorded its first album, 1969's From Genesis to Revelation, after being spotted and named by Jonathan King, an alum of their school and a songwriter and producer who had a hit single at the time called "Everyone's Gone to the Moon". Eventually, the remaining members renewed their commitment to Genesis, also deciding to fire drummer John Mayhew in the bargain. Phil Collins joined Genesis on 4 August 1970 after successfully impressing the other band members with his drumming skills during an audition at Gabriel's parents' house. Genesis ventured into a more ambitious project with the double disc concept album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The album by Genesis was released November 18, 1974. In 1979, Genesis almost lost Collins as he moved to Vancouver, Canada in an attempt to save his first marriage.
