Genesis is an English progressive rock band that formed in 1967 in Godalming, Surrey. The original lineup consisted of founding members Peter Gabriel (vocals, flute), Tony Banks (keyboards), Mike Rutherford (bass, guitar), Anthony Phillips (guitar), and Chris Stewart (drums). Over the years, the lineup changed with various members joining and leaving, but Banks and Rutherford remained constant members throughout the band's history.

Genesis is known for their complex and intricate compositions that combine elements of rock, pop, folk, and classical music, and for their theatrical live performances. The band's early music was heavily influenced by the psychedelic rock of the late 1960s, but they quickly developed their own sound, incorporating elements of jazz and classical music into their compositions.

In the early 1970s, Peter Gabriel's flamboyant stage persona and elaborate costumes became a hallmark of the band's live performances, and the band's music became more elaborate and ambitious. Classic albums from this era include "Foxtrot" (1972), "Selling England by the Pound" (1973), and "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" (1974).

After Gabriel's departure from the band in 1975, drummer Phil Collins took over as lead vocalist, and the band's sound evolved into a more pop-oriented direction. This era of the band produced hits such as "Follow You Follow Me" and "Invisible Touch."

Genesis continued to release albums and tour throughout the 1980s and 1990s, with their final studio album "Calling All Stations" released in 1997 before the band went on hiatus. In 2007, the band reunited for a tour featuring Collins, Banks, and Rutherford, but Gabriel did not participate.

Genesis remains one of the most influential and popular progressive rock bands of all time, with a discography that includes 15 studio albums and numerous live albums and compilations.

• ReGenesis: The Early Genesis Tribute Band - "Lamb for Supper - Live 2001", published by Mystic Records, documents a live performance of ReGenesis, the UK Genesis Tribute Band, in March 2001 at G2, the 2001 Genesis fan convention at Guilford Civic Hall, Surrey, England.  This is the third live album from ReGenesis, the first two albums being "ReGenesis Live" (1998) and "Here It Comes Again" (1999).  I was quite impressed with "Lamb for Supper - Live 2001".  ReGenesis is full of accomplished musicians:  Steve Marsh (guitar/backing vocals), Andy Hyam (bass/guitar), Doug Melbourne (keyboards/vocals), Tony Patterson (lead vocals/flute/tambourine), Jamie Fisher (drums/percussion), and Nigel Appleton (drums - guests on two tracks).  As the title "Lamb for Supper - Live 2001" implies, the bulk of the material on this live CD is taken from the classic 1974 Genesis double-album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway".  The classic 1974 tunes selected for inclusion on this new ReGenesis CD are "Grand Parade of Lifeless Packaging" (2:57), "Chamber of 32 Doors" (5:19), "The Lamia" (6:57), "Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats" (5:06), and "The Colony Of Slippermen" (6:22).  In addition, an extended version of "Supper's Ready" (23:30) from the 1972 Genesis album "Foxtrot", and "Dance on a Volcano/Los Endos" (14:37) from 1976's first post-Peter Gabriel album "A Trick Of The Tail" are also included, the latter featuring a drum duet between current drummer Jamie Fisher and guest Nigel Appleton.  The only repeat tracks from previous ReGenesis live efforts are "Supper's Ready" (included on "ReGenesis Live") and "Los Endos" (also on "Here It Comes Again").  If you never had a chance to hear Genesis live, this is the next-best thing.  Regenesis faithfully captures the sound and feel of early Genesis in a live setting, and the recording/production of the concert is excellent.  Based on what I've heard on the CD and photos included in the jewel-case, I expect ReGenesis live is an aural and visual feast not soon forgotten.  For Genesis fans, "Lamb for Supper - Live 2001" is highly recommended.
