Genesis – L.A. COMPLETE VOL.1 (2LP) Vinyl Double Album

Genesis had just released what was to become their best-selling album, Invisible Touch, a few months prior to this remarkable concert performed at the Forum, in Los Angeles, on October 15th 1986. Having moved into a more pop-oriented direction in the early ’80s, Genesis was now attracting even more new fans, particularly MTV viewers who enjoyed their inventive videos. At the same time, they held onto a loyal fan base that stretched back to their days as an art rock band.This is a show that captures Genesis at the peak of their popularity – at a time when they (and former member Peter Gabriel) were all over the media. It’s a concert with sugary pop and catchy dance tunes, but one that also features, at the same time, superb musicianship and extended instrumental jamming. After this, the band would only record one more album before Phil Collins left the group for a solo career.
