The Watch plays Genesis - Tales from 1970-1976

A JOURNEY INTO THE HEART OF EARLY GENESIS

In the 1970s, the English band Genesis stood alongside King Crimson, Emerson, Lake & Palmer, and Yes as one of the Big Four of progressive rock. Italian band The Watch takes us on a trip back to the early phase of these influential prog-rockers. With "Tales from 1970 - 1976", they dive deep into the era when Peter Gabriel fronted Genesis.

Turning back the clock to relive the magic of a 1970s rock concert - that's exactly what The Watch from Italy make possible. The internationally acclaimed prog-rock band brings the music of the early Genesis era to the stage with remarkable authenticity. In intense, detail-obsessed performances, they breathe new life into the sound and spirit of the Gabriel years. Even before Genesis broke through worldwide, these musicians were in a league of their own. Their songs from that period are now regarded as milestones of progressive rock. The Watch makes it possible to experience these classics live again - not as a mere imitation, but capturing the creative energy and pioneering spirit of those years with impressive precision and passion.

Singer Simone Rossetti's voice is strikingly close to the young Gabriel, and the whole band impresses with masterful instrumental playing. Under the motto "Take a little trip back from 'Trespass' to 'Wind And Wuthering'", The Watch delivers a show that leaves nothing to be desired. Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett himself gave them his personal seal of approval: "The Watch is a band with very talented musicians. I can only warmly recommend them." The UK Prog Newsletter noted: "What is unique is the voice - so remarkably similar to that of the young Peter Gabriel." And ECHO-News UK observed: "It's like a time machine for those who loved going to concerts in the seventies and still long for that atmosphere today."
