On january 10th 1973, Genesis performed at Le Bataclan and (luckily !) their performance was recorded by Pop 2 TV show ! A piece of history, a rare gem that captures the essence of the band in its early days, Peter Gabriel, who has just resurfaced in a 4k remastered version by the Genesis Museum…

During this 30 minutes recording, we can hear emblematic works of progressive rock such as The Musical Box, Supper’s Ready, The Return Of The Giant Hogweed and The Knife, as well as a short interview in the dressing rooms of Le Bataclan, by Lain Dister, where they evoke their musical influences and their live staging.
