Genesis: Drury Lane Theatre, London
Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 26 January 1974
GENESIS'S WEEK at London's Drury Lane Theatre, proved that rock and theatre can mix and have a validity outside of mere exhibitionism. The band arc currently playing at a peak of their ability, and while Peter Gabriel is a show in himself, the sheer musicianship of the individual players has never been more stunning.
