Great stuff here. 3 complete songs from their very first visit to America. The quality is stellar in my opinion; so much so that I was yearning for the rest of the gig which is obviously missing. There is only 29 minutes here. Still, what is here is great and wonderful quality for an audience recording from 72. [duke23]

Show memories

This show was performed at Philharmonic Hall in Lincoln Center. It was and is the home of the New York Philharmonic. It\'s name was later changed to Avery Fischer Hall. [ludwigvanbear]
I attended this performance as I had recently heard Watcher of the Skies on a local New York Fm radio station, WNEW-FM, on a show called \"Things From England\" hosted by DJ Scott Muni. Watcher blew my mind so after the initial hearing I went out to a record store and found a copy of Foxtrot in the import record bin. I was playing it repeatedly when one day WNEW announced that Genesis was coming to NYC for their first American performance at Philharmonic Hall. I recruited all my bandmates and friends to attend the show and we were all enthralled by Genesis\' performance. Been a fan ever since.
I discovered on this website that Genesis actually did a warm up show in Boston to a small audience and according to a report on this site, did not go well due to technical problems. I consider this Philharmonic Hall show to be Genesis\' first official public performance in the US which is the designation it was given on WNEW radio.
Cheers [ludwigvanbear]
