THE TOUR
In October 1983 Genesis released their 13th album, simply titled Genesis, before the band went on an extended tour through North America. After that they played five shows in England.
There were no changes in the line-up which still consisted of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, Chester Thompson and Daryl Stuermer, but the new light show was top notch. The lighting equipment filled more than two of the five trucks that carried the whole setup; it was worth more than $4m (at the exchange rates of the time). It weighed an enormous 30 tons. The light show was based on Varilites, as on previous tours. These special stage lights can emit 60 different colours and switch from one colour to another in 0.1 seconds. At the same time diameter and intensity of the light beam can be varied at will, and the spot can be turned 360 degrees in all dimensions.
The setlist during the tour included songs from the "Genesis" album, such as the title track "Mama," "That's All," "Illegal Alien," "Home by the Sea," and "Taking It All Too Hard," among others. Additionally, they performed some classic tracks from their previous albums, pleasing both longtime fans and those attracted to their new pop-oriented sound.
The "Mama" tour was a commercial success and received positive reviews from both critics and audiences. Genesis' ability to deliver powerful live performances, coupled with the impressive stage production, made the tour a memorable experience for fans worldwide.
COLLECTABILITY
Tour programs are highly collectable and sought after for several reasons. Firstly, they provide a tangible memento of a specific concert or event, allowing fans to relive the experience and cherish the memories associated with it. Tour programs often feature exclusive content like behind-the-scenes photos, interviews, and detailed information about the artists and their performances. Additionally, they serve as a snapshot of a particular era in an artist's career, making them valuable to both music enthusiasts and historians. Whether you're a dedicated fan or a passionate collector, owning these programs offers a tangible connection to the music world and serves as a treasured piece of memorabilia.
Programs can also be framed together with other items we have on our website such as vinyl records, official stage guitar picks, autographs, backstage passes, concert tickets, drumsticks and photos and you can create a truly one-of-a-kind unique piece of memorabilia.
