The follow up Duke became the transition moment from rock to pop for Genesis. After a small hiatus they released Face Value in 1981. Genesis decided to continue as a trio - according to the number of full-right members - and issued And Then There Were Three in 1978. The Seconds Out live album was released the same year and it was the last one with Hackett, who left and was substituted by Daryl Stuermer. In 1977, Chester Thompson took the drum duties in the band. They recorded the new albums Trick Of The Tail and Wind & Wuthering with Collins on lead vocals in 1976. At the same time, Genesis started the search for a new soloist and made their back vocalist and drummer Collins a Gabriel's substitute. In 1975, Gabriel announced his departure from the band due to family problems. During the live performances in 70's, Genesis pioneered the use of lasers and other light effects, which were widely popularized in 80's and 90's, and became an inseparable part of many rock concerts nowadays. This work featured shorter tracks than on previous albums, connected by one plot. 1974 saw a double disc concert album The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. This disc contained Firth Of Fifth and I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe), both becoming the obligatory numbers in Genesis' live concerts. Selling England By The Pound saw light in 1973. In 1972, the success was continued by the album Foxtrot, featuring one more cult track - 23-minute Supper's Ready. In 1971, Genesis released Nursery Cryme with the legendary song The Musical Box. Rutherford and Banks took Phil Collins as a drummer and hired Steve Hackett on guitar. Around the same time, Genesis also built the live performances that would become famous in several years. The same year Genesis accomplished the second studio work Trespass, which contained the progressive rock material with its elaborated arrangements and long tracks. Their original style was a light melodic pop rock, strongly influenced by Bee Gees and The Beatles. They were accidentally noticed by Charterhouse alumnus Jonathan King, who gave them the name Genesis and helped to record their debut album From Genesis To Revelation in 1969. Its original line up comprised Peter Gabriel (vocals), Anthony Phillips (guitar), Tony Banks (keyboards), Mike Rutherford (bass & guitar) and Chris Stewart (drums). Genesis was formed out of two Charterhouse School groups Anon and Garden Wall in 1966 in Godalming, England, UK. Mike Rutherford, Genesis' co-founding guitarist and bassist told us feels the band's live show always allowed them space to explore the longer songs from their albums, as opposed to just focusing on hit singles: SOUNDCUE (:16 OC. The collection features unreleased live tracks from all three of Genesis' frontmen over the years - Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, and Ray Wilson. Highlights on the set include early BBC radio sessions from Night Ride and for famed DJ John Peel, along with the band's legendary Knebworth performances in 19, the band's 1980 concert at London’s Lyceum - as well as their triumphant sell-out run of shows at Wembley in 1987 in support of Invisible Touch. The set was curated by co-founder and keyboardist Tony Banks and long-time engineer Nick Davis and will be available as a 53-track five-CD set and 24-track triple-LP. On March 3rd Genesis will release the sprawling career-spanning BBC Broadcast collection.
