Following the<br \/>\ndepartures of singer Peter Gabriel in 1975 guitarist Steve Hackett in August 1977, the remaining three members, singer and drummer Phil Collins, bassist and guitarist Michael Rutherford, and keyboardist Tony Banks, shifted musical direction.<\/p>\n<p>While remaining loyal to the band\u2019s prog rock roots, they started to write<br \/>\nshorter, catchier songs, with more straightforward structures. The result was<br \/>\nenormous commercial success on a scale that dwarfed what the band had<br \/>\nenjoyed before.<\/p>\n<p>In this blog we focus on the ten years first years of Genesis, from its<br \/>\nfoundation in 1967 to the departure of Steve Hackett in 1977, and we look at<br \/>\nexactly what made the band one of the most successful and influential<br \/>\nexponents of the prog rock genre. In a second blog we will examine what<br \/>\ncould be called the prog pop era of Genesis, and how the band managed to<br \/>\nachieve household-name success.<\/p>\n<h3>EARLY YEARS<\/h3>\n<p>The origins of Genesis are as un-rock \u2018n roll as it gets. Famously, the band<br \/>\nwas formed at Charterhouse, an independent boarding school for 13-to-18-<br \/>\nyear-olds in Surrey, southern England. In this posh and prestigious<br \/>\nenvironment, Michael Rutherford, guitarist Antony Phillips, Peter Gabriel, Tony<br \/>\nBanks and drummer Chris Stewart formed the band The New Anon. It was<br \/>\n1967, and they were 16 and 17 years old.<\/p>\n<p>The New Anon gave a cassette tape with some recordings to Jonathan King,<br \/>\na Charterhouse alumni who had already achieved chart success. He was<br \/>\nparticularly impressed with Peter Gabriel\u2019s singing, and offered to produce an<br \/>\nalbum. He also named the quintet Genesis.<\/p>\n<p>King arranged for a record deal with the Decca label. In August 1968, the<br \/>\nband recorded its debut album at Regent Studio 1, in London, on two 4-track<br \/>\ntape recorders, with a new drummer, John Silver. King produced the album,<br \/>\nand suggested the title, From Genesis To Revelation. It sold just 649 copies in<br \/>\nits first year. Unsurprisingly, King and the band stopped working together.<br \/>\nUndeterred by their early failure, the band members decided to become<br \/>\nprofessional musicians at the end of 1969. Silver left the band, and was<br \/>\nreplaced by drummer John Mayhew. Genesis began performing in venues<br \/>\naround London.<\/p>\n<h4>UNIQUE PROG ROCK SOUND<\/h4>\n<p>Producer John Anthony saw them perform live in the beginning of 1970, and<br \/>\nintroduced them to Tony Stratton-Smith, who had founded Charisma Records<br \/>\nthe year before, which was to become one of the most important folk and prog<br \/>\nrock labels in the UK. Stratton-Smith acted as a manager and mentor to<br \/>\nGenesis.<\/p>\n<p>Genesis went into Trident Studios in London in June 1970, with producer John<br \/>\nAnthony. The resulting album was called Trespass and released in October<br \/>\n1970, with a striking cover by Paul Whitehead. It contained the first<br \/>\nexpressions of Genesis\u2019s unique prog rock sound, that incorporated folk,<br \/>\nclassical, pop, soul, rock and other influences.<\/p>\n<p>Trespass features several trademark sounds of early Genesis, including the<br \/>\nuse of a Mellotron, and multiple 12-string guitars for the more pastoral<br \/>\nsections. The longest and hardest-rocking track on the album, \u201cThe Knife,\u201d<br \/>\nbecame a live favourite. Gabriel\u2019s striking voice commands attention on the<br \/>\nentire album.<\/p>\n<p>Guitarist Antony Phillips left the band in July 1970, and Banks, Gabriel and<br \/>\nRutherford also wanted to find a different drummer more suitable to their<br \/>\nmusic. Drummer Phil Collins joined the band in August 1970, and guitarist<br \/>\nSteve Hackett joined in January 1971. The classic line-up of Genesis was now<br \/>\nin place.<\/p>\n<h4>TOWERING ACHIEVEMENT<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In July 1971, the band began writing and rehearsing material for a new album,<br \/>\nagain with John Anthony engineering and producing. The resulting album,<br \/>\nNursery Cryme, once more with a colourful cover by Paul Whitehead, was<br \/>\nreleased in November 1971.<\/p>\n<p>Nursery Cryme is the first album by the classic Genesis line-up, and also the<br \/>\nfirst on which the band has managed to fully realise its prog-rock direction.<br \/>\nGenesis had by now become an impressive live act, and during a concert in<br \/>\nSeptember 1972 in Dublin, Gabriel came on stage wearing a red dress and a<br \/>\nfox\u2019s head. It resulted in a lot of press coverage, and the band was able to<br \/>\ndouble its concert fee.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel\u2019s red dress and fox mask were an impersonation of the main figure on<br \/>\nthe cover of the band\u2019s next album, Foxtrot, which was released in October<br \/>\n1972. It was the band\u2019s first album to enter the higher regions of the UK album<br \/>\nchart, reaching to number 12.<\/p>\n<p>The two stand-out tracks on Foxtrot are \u201cWatcher of the Skies,\u201d and the 23-<br \/>\nminute \u201cSupper\u2019s Ready,\u201d which is a suite of seven connected songs. Peter<br \/>\nGabriel has over several decades declared that \u201cSupper\u2019s Ready\u201d is one of his<br \/>\nfavourite pieces of music by Genesis. It\u2019s been named a \u201ctowering<br \/>\nachievement of prog rock.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Genesis\u2019s imposing live reputation was further enhanced by the release of<br \/>\nGenesis Live in July 1973, which had been recorded in Manchester and<br \/>\nLeicester in the UK in February of that year. Genesis Live was released as a<br \/>\nbudget album, and reached to number 9 in the UK.<\/p>\n<h4>FROM PROG TO FUSION<\/h4>\n<p>After the success of Foxtrot, Genesis signed a new deal with Charisma, and<br \/>\nwas given more time to record its next album, Selling England By The Pound,<br \/>\nwhich is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Genesis\u2019s pure prog rock years,<br \/>\nand as one of the best prog rock albums of all time.<\/p>\n<p>John Burns was co-producing with the band, as he had done on Genesis<br \/>\nLive. Steve Hackett later stated that he was influenced by John McLaughlin<br \/>\nand Mahavishnu Orchestra at the time, and some of the licks and riffs he supplied for the new album resulted in a sections that come close to fusion<br \/>\nmusic.<\/p>\n<p>This is particularly in evidence in the album\u2019s opener, \u201cDancing With<br \/>\nThe Moonlit Knight.\u201d The song starts with arguably one of the most beautiful<br \/>\nand moving vocal melodies ever recorded, written by Gabriel.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Hackett explained the structure of the song in an interview, saying that<br \/>\nit \u201cwent from Scottish plainsong to something Elgarian, to something futuristic,<br \/>\ntouching on fusion and other forms that still haven\u2019t been named. It\u2019s also got<br \/>\ntapping and some octave jumps and sweep picking and techniques that have<br \/>\nbecome part of the glossary of terms for modern-day shredders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another highlight of Selling England by the Pound is the track \u201cFirth of Fifth,\u201d<br \/>\nwhich was largely written by Banks. It has been called \u201cone of the finest nine<br \/>\nand half minutes of music that Genesis ever put down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The single \u201cI Know What I Like\u201d was the first Genesis song to enter the UK<br \/>\nsingles chart, reaching to number 21. Selling England by the Pound was<br \/>\nreleased in October 1973, and became the first genuine hit album for the<br \/>\nband, reaching to number 3 in the UK album chart.<\/p>\n<p>Critical reaction was overwhelmingly positive, and to this day it regularly<br \/>\nmakes top tens of Best Prog Rock Albums of all Time.<\/p>\n<h4>DREAMLIKE<\/h4>\n<p>Genesis appeared to have the world at its feet when it began work on its next<br \/>\nalbum in June 1974, immediately after touring. However, trouble was brewing.<br \/>\nSome of the band members had become irritated by the fact that Gabriel was<br \/>\nseen as the leader of Genesis by members of the press, an impression that<br \/>\nwas strengthened in live performance by Gabriel\u2019s eye catching costumes and<br \/>\ntheatrics.<\/p>\n<p>Genesis decided that it wanted its next album to be a concept double album,<br \/>\nand eventually settled on a story devised by Gabriel, about Rael, a young<br \/>\nPuerto Rican living in New York City, who embarks on a journey that sees him<br \/>\nencountering all manner of surreal, dreamlike circumstances. Gabriel wanted<br \/>\nthe underlying themes and imagery to be American, in contrast to the<br \/>\nEnglishness of Selling England by the Pound.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was released, on November 18,<br \/>\n1974, with a largely black and white cover that was very different than its<br \/>\nearlier albums, the band feared critical slaughter. However, critical reaction<br \/>\nwas overwhelmingly positive. The album has since gone on to be highly<br \/>\nregarded, and like its predecessor is regularly included in the top 10s of best<br \/>\nProg Rock Albums of all Time.<\/p>\n<p>Genesis toured in support of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway in North<br \/>\nAmerica from November 1974 to February 1975. In a precursor of modern<br \/>\nmulti-media live shows, the stage design had three screens that showed<br \/>\nalmost 1500 slides, and laser lights. Gabriel was wearing some of his most<br \/>\noutlandish costumes, and with the slide show often failing, and Gabriel having<br \/>\nproblems getting the microphone close to his mouth in one costume, the show<br \/>\nhad overtones of Spinal Tap.<\/p>\n<h4>SURPRISE<\/h4>\n<p>The rift that had opened up between Gabriel and the rest of the band during<br \/>\nthe writing and recording of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway led to the<br \/>\nsinger\u2019s departure at the end of the tour.<\/p>\n<p>When the remaining four members reconvened in the summer OF 1975, top<br \/>\nquality new material quickly emerged, and Phil Collins took over as lead<br \/>\nsinger and front man. Their next album, A Trick of the Tail, was released on<br \/>\nFebruary 2 nd , 1976. The band surprised everyone by sounding better than<br \/>\never before. The album did well commercially, going to number three in the<br \/>\nUK album charts, and number one in France.<\/p>\n<p>Genesis toured the album from March to July 1976. Collins was nervous<br \/>\nabout being frontman and combining drumming and singing. He asked<br \/>\ndrummer Bill Bruford to come on tour, having played with him already in the<br \/>\nband Brand X.<\/p>\n<p>After the tour, the band spent a considerable amount of time writing new<br \/>\nmaterial. Wind &amp;amp; Wuthering was released on December 17 th , 1976, and was<br \/>\npositively received by fans and most critics. It reached to number 6 in the UK<br \/>\ncharts and number 26 in the US.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Genesis toured in support of the album from January to July 1977, with<br \/>\nChester Thompson as additional drummer. The live double album Seconds<br \/>\nOut was recorded during the four nights of the Paris leg of the tour, in June<br \/>\n1977, and released in October of that year.<\/p>\n<p>Hackett quit the band during the mixing of the live album.<\/p>\n<h4>FOUNDATIONAL INFLUENCE<\/h4>\n<p>However, Banks, Rutherford and Collins did not miss a beat. Within weeks of<br \/>\nHackett\u2019s departure, they were already back in the same studio in The<br \/>\nNetherlands where Wind &amp;amp; Wuthering had been recorded, laying down<br \/>\nmaterial for the band\u2019s ninth studio album\u2026And Then There Were Three\u2026<br \/>\n(1978).<\/p>\n<p>But that is the beginning of the story of our second Genesis blog.<br \/>\nWith Hackett\u2019s departure from the group the pure prog rock era of Genesis<br \/>\nhad come to an end. For a number of years prog rock, and Genesis, were<br \/>\nregarded, in the UK at least, as decidedly uncool. However, over time the prog<br \/>\nrock incarnation of Genesis has become widely admired. It continues to have<br \/>\na foundational influence on the entire genre, and the list of musicians who<br \/>\nhave been influenced of the band, and are proud to say so, continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough, more than Genesis itself, it has been Steve Hackett who has<br \/>\nbeen most instrumental in keeping the legacy of early Genesis alive, with his<br \/>\nGenesis Revisited projects, which started with an album in 1996, and that he<br \/>\nhas since 2013 regularly taken on tour, attracting larger and larger live<br \/>\naudiences. A series of increasingly popular live recordings of these concerts<br \/>\nhave been released, most recently his live version of Seconds Out.<\/p>\n<p>Many people clearly second what Hackett said in a recent interview about the<br \/>\nmusic of early Genesis: \u201cIt sounds better and better with the passing of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ends<br \/>\n\u00a9 2022 Paul Tingen.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGVVBZdllWb0Q1dUElMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Genesis is unique in being one of the most influential prog rock bands in the history of music, and at the same time enjoying house-hold-name mainstream success in the pop market.
