I have long been a fan of classic rock and more specifically progressive or prog rock. Rush and Yes are two of my favourite bands. I’m a recent fan of Genesis, not because I previously disliked their music but because I never took the time to listen. Most of what I knew was their later pop songs.
I have especially been getting into Genesis during their Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett years. Although Genesis is touring as I write this, it is very unlikely that the classic lineup will ever reunite.
The next best things is a band called the Musical Box. They perform songs from the pre-pop era, both the Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins years. They are more than a tribute band. They recreate the classic Genesis sound and show in a way that few tribute bands can do.
My wife and I saw them for their A Genesis Extravaganza Vol. 2 show and it was fantastic. They are incredible musicians and it was such a joy being at a concert again. If you like prog rock or Genesis in particular, make sure to see the Musical Box.
