Posted: June 24, 2024 in MUSIC

Genesis “Live at the Hammersmith Odeon” in London, England on June 10th, 1976 ‘A Trick of the Tail’ Tour 1976. Taken from the Pre-FM broadcast audio soundboard recording that is great quality, and one soundboard audio source that is slightly lower quality. This live recording by Genesis was a landmark King Biscuit Flower Hour appearance because it marked the first time the band had been heard on a national broadcast with its new line-up, after the departure of lead singer Peter Gabriel.

The band had toured for over a year between 1974 and 1975, performing 103 shows on the “Lamb Lies Down On Broadway” tour knowing the whole time that Gabriel would be departing to focus on his new family and to launch a solo career. The band had pleaded with Gabriel not to go public with his decision to leave, because the members feared they could not move forward without their charismatic lead vocalist.

This album showcases Genesis’ stellar concert at the Hammersmith Odeon, on 10th June 1976, during the “A Trick of the Tail” Tour.

Broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour, this performance features unmissable renditions of Genesis classics such as ‘Firth of Firth’, ‘The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway’, ‘The Carpet Crawlers’, ‘I Know What (I Like In Your Wardrobe)’ and more.
