Duke Tour 1980

• Backdrifter
• May 7th 2024

Looking through this section of the forum I was surprised to see no dedicated Duke Tour thread, although the tour has come up in various discussions. I'm thinking of it as today is 44 years since I attended the famous 7 May London Lyceum gig.

Obviously this was a major change from the tours in the preceding years where they were playing arenas and outdoor venues with increasingly elaborate stage shows. Deciding to focus on Britain since they hadn't toured their homeland since 1977, they recaptured their earlier touring years by playing over 40 dates in small venues they hadn't played for a while including their old haunt of Aylesbury Friars, the ticket queue for which circled the earth several times. For one gig they even returned to university hall venues (University of Exeter). After February rehearsals in Shepperton Studios they kicked off at the (now long gone) Festival Theatre in Paignton, Devon, possibly the smallest venue on the tour with capacity of around 800. All the other venues were 1000-2000 capacity. All this obviously meant a considerably trimmed-down stage show, but being Genesis even this was still quite creative and striking as we've seen from the Lyceum videos. All the same, as a 14yo eagerly awaiting what were to be my first Genesis gigs I was a bit miffed I wouldn't be seeing any lasers or mirrors. My very first one was London Hammersmith Odeon, 27 March. The previous gig had been postponed due to PC having throat problems, leading to his finger-wagging opening comment "You didn't think I'd be here tonight did you..."

For the setlist all the new Duke material was run together in a mini-set, 6 songs into the show. The rest of the set drew heavily on post-PG albums with a smattering of PG-era numbers which changed slightly as NYC and The Knife came and went. After the lengthy British tour they then did around 30 shows in the US and Canada. There were no dates in any other territories that year.

What are other members' memories, thoughts etc on this tour?

ATTW3 was my introduction but didn’t get to see them perform until the Duke tour. It was a very magical and exciting time. I think I had all of their studio albums at that point and was just starting to explore some of the solo albums.

Seems very naïve of me looking back, but when the lights came on at the start, I was immediately surprised to see five musicians performing. It was then I recalled a radio advert I had heard earlier that day talking about Genesis’ drummer making a pre-concert appearance at a musical instruments store in downtown Toronto, and me thinking they had Phil’s name completely wrong.

• May 8th 2024

I wasn't born until 1991 (my first Genesis gig was the WCD tour at Earl's Court aged 1!) But the Duke Tour is one of my absolute faves.

A powerful mix of old and new tracks, the entire Duke Suite, the In The Cage medley in its modern incarnation and The Knife encore.

Also, Phil was on real top form as a frontman. Probably the most aggressive he has ever been on stage.

I was introduced to the tour via a bootleg DVD and loved it.

Probably the gig I'd go to if I had a time machine!

One of my first gigs and still the best I’ve been to. It nearly didn’t happen. Queued all night outside Birmingham Odeon aged 17 to get tickets (well my mate did the first few hours and I took over). Come morning we were funnelled through a sort of outdoor channel around the back and there was a dangerous crush and I was wedged against an old piece of adversing hoarding for ages, struggling at time to breathe. Eventually we were let through only to find the tickets were sold out. My disappointment was tempered by thinking I might not get out of the queue at all so I was happy to be free. Luckily a very decent lad at college I hardly knew heard what happened and sold me his two spare tickets at face value. An amazing act of kindness I’ve never forgotten. The gig is fixed in my mind’s eye in flashes. Phil’s hideous shirt. The green lights for the introduction to Duchess. The magic of Carpet Crawlers. The purple lights and smoke for Afterglow. The power of the music and lights acting together. Finally, the encore, The Knife. At that time I was just getting into all this music and The Knife had a mystical quality for me as ‘Live’ was the only Genesis album I had for a while (my brother’s cast off) until I could afford more and it had been my favourite track for months. When Phil announced it I was in the aisle and jumped in the air and unfortunately landed on the foot of a poor usher. It completed a fabulous evening. The setlist was very balanced although my mates and I hated ATTWT as a sell out at that time (I’ve warmed to it since) and were unsure about some tracks on Duke but there was plenty of good stuff for us and the Duke Suite worked superbly live. My overriding memory was feeling at that time what energy the band had and what value for money they gave. Even at that age I could see the quality of their musicianship and feel the energy coming off them playing as a team. You could sense the thought that had gone into the setlist, the introductions and the lights. I didn’t know that I’d never see them in such an intimate venue again and I’ve always counted myself very lucky to have been there. And if that young sixth former who took pity on me and sold me the tickets happens to be reading this. Thank you!

Thanks all for sharing wonderful memories. If I had a time machine this is certainly the tour I'd go see. Genesis in 1980 playing to 800 people... Amazing. It would have been nice if they'd thrown in occasional smaller shows among the giant stadia spectacles as they went on.

I think they did a few smaller venuea on the WCD tour? Mayflower, Southampton springs to mind which has a capacity of 2,000 or so. Only time they played Carpet Crawlers on the tour too!

Quote from Backdrifter What are other members' memories, thoughts etc on this tour?

My main thought is "I wish I had gone".

Quote from Mozo My main thought is "I wish I had gone". But I only really discovered them in 1980 so I didn't go.

same here. I became a fan much later and although my preference is PG solo, I still have a lot of affection for the Genesis Phil years. The Duke tour has something magical (like many tours that were never professionally filmed).

I was thinking the other day, why did Genesis name this album Duke and not Albert ?

Tommy by the Who comes to mind but also, they didn't use the name Rael for Lamb lies down on Broadway.

But there is no mention of "Duke" in any of the album's lyrics. It's just a thought.

At the time my mates and I were horrified when the title was released before the music. We didn’t like ATTWT and this did not augur well. I seem to remember the band saying at the time they wanted a harder edged word for the title and I don’t suppose Albert would do that although I think I’d prefer it. Maybe it also gave them the opportunity to name the track Duchess.

Horrified?! I have an amusing image of you and your friends seeing the announcement of the title and variously looking aghast, shocked, swooning, shaking your heads, raising a fist in the air in anger.

It was the first of three consecutive one-word titles and one of only five in their canon. After a run of wordy titles I can understand their going for this, and avoiding 'Albert' which would have been a rather twee and winsome-sounding title.

• May 20th 2024

“Albert” would have been hilarious.

Maybe “Malcolm” or “Jeffrey” as alternatives. 🤣

You are not far off there! As impressionable 17 yr olds we were easily horrified and anything to do with Genesis was weighed heavily as if lives depended on it. I think we just had ideas about John Wayne or members of the Royal family and none of it sounded good. On the heels of ATTWT (which had me running for cellotape and paper to amend my Genesis badge so it said ‘pre-‘78’) we thought the game was up and our band had left us - and I’d only discovered them in 1978. But once the album came out we could breathe again and although for us it didn’t scale the heights of the five or four man era, we did like it and we recognised it was a step up from the previous offering. Oh the intensity of it all…..

Recreating the Music of Genesis from '76-'82 - The Phil Collins Years

The Tours The Genesis Show Has Done

'76 A Trick Of The Tail Tour

Genesis' A Trick of the Tail Tour marked a pivotal moment in the band's history. Fresh off the departure of their charismatic frontman Peter Gabriel, the quartet of Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, and Phil Collins embarked on a daunting challenge: proving their viability without their former lead singer. The 1976 tour, in support of their album of the same name, was their first step into this new era. With Bill Bruford of Yes & King Crimson on drums for the tour, the band delivered a tour de force of progressive rock, showcasing their musical prowess and Collins' burgeoning vocal talents. While the absence of Gabriel was undeniable, the band's performance was met with critical acclaim, demonstrating their ability to evolve and maintain their artistic integrity. The tour was a crucial stepping stone in Genesis' transformation from a progressive rock band with a theatrical frontman to a more mainstream act led by Collins' charismatic stage presence. The tour kicked off on March 26th 1976 at London Arena in London, Ontario Canada and concluded on July 11th 1976 at Bingley Hall in Stafford England.

Genesis' 1977 World Tour was in support of their epic album Wind & Wuthering released on December 23, 1976 in the UK and December 27, 1976 in the USA. The tour kicked off on January 1, 1977 at the Rainbow Theater in London and ended on July 3, 1977 at the Olympiahalle in Munich Germany. The tour had 97 shows and featured some firsts and lasts. This tour was the first tour to feature Chester Thompson behind the drum kit and if you were at that show on July 3rd in Munich Germany you saw the last show Steve Hackett ever played with Genesis. Wind & Wuthering is an album that features some of Genesis' most lush arrangements and cinematic songs. It is an album of incredible depth and power. The Genesis Show faithfully recreates the sounds of this incredible music and from this album and tour with stunning visuals as well as a few songs that even Genesis has never played live. Here are the songs that were featured on this tour. Not every song was done every night and some songs were only done once. Come experience this music live like you have never seen before with the The Genesis Show '77.

'80 Duke Tour

Genesis' Duke Tour: A New Era of Progressive Rock

The year 1980 marked a significant turning point for the progressive rock band Genesis. Following the departure of their charismatic frontman Peter Gabriel in 1975, the remaining members - Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, and Phil Collins - had successfully navigated their way through the 1970s with a series of critically acclaimed albums. However, the Duke Tour, which began in April 1980 and extended into early 1981, would prove to be a watershed moment in their career.

The tour was in support of their 1980 album, Duke, which marked a stylistic shift for the band. While their earlier work was characterized by complex song structures, intricate instrumentation, and often fantastical lyrical themes, Duke showcased a more accessible and melodic sound. The album's success, coupled with the band's energetic live performances, helped to solidify their position as one of the leading acts in the rock music scene.

The Duke Tour was a visually stunning affair, featuring elaborate stage sets and lighting effects. The band's performances were characterized by Collins' powerful drumming and vocals, Banks' virtuosic keyboard playing, and Rutherford's melodic guitar work. The setlist included a mix of new and old material, with highlights such as "Deep in the Motherlode," "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight," "The Carpet Crawlers," and "Duke's Travels."

The Duke Tour was a resounding success, both critically and commercially. It helped to cement Genesis' status as one of the most popular and influential bands of the era. The tour also marked the beginning of a new chapter for the band, as they continued to evolve and experiment with their sound in the years to come.

Key Dates and Highlights of the Duke Tour:

April 1980: The tour begins in Ipswich, England.

May 1980: The band performs two sold-out shows at the Lyceum Theatre in London, which are later captured on the live album Genesis Live in London.

Summer 1980: The tour takes the band to Europe and North America.

November 1980: The band performs a memorable concert at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Early 1981: The tour concludes in Australia.

'81 Abacab Tour

Genesis' 1981 World Tour was in support of their album Abacab released on September 18, 1981, worldwide. The tour kicked off just a few days later on September 25, 1981, at LaMonumental, a bullfighting ring, in Barcelona Spain and ended on December 23, 1981, at The NEC Arena in Birmingham, England. The tour had 65 shows and 3 legs to the tour. The 1st leg was in Europe. The North American 2nd leg of the tour began on November 12, 1981, at The Dane County Coliseum in Madison Wisconsin and ended December 11, 1982, at The Carrier Dome in Syracuse NY. The 3rd leg of the Abacab Tour brought Genesis back to Europe for 7 dates in their home country of England starting on December 17th for a 3-night stint at Wembley Stadium. It was their first of many times playing Wembley Stadium. The finished up the tour with a 4-night stint at The NEC Arena. This was the first time Genesis opted to play the big arenas instead of all of the smaller venues they played in the UK on the '80 Duke tour. The Abacab Tour featured the return of Daryl Stuermer on guitar and Chester Thomson on the drums. By this time they had cemented themselves as permanent touring members. This tour was immortalized by the epic Three Sides Live album and Video which shows the band arguably at their peak as a live act. The setlist featured much of their new Abacab album but also showcased some of their classic fan favorites. The last night of the tour featured a first and a last. It would be the first time that Genesis played The Knife on the Abacab Tour but would also be the last time they ever played it live. The Knife closed the Abacab Tour. Here are the songs that were featured on this tour. Not every song was done every night and some songs were only done once or a few times. Come experience this music live as you have never seen before with The Genesis Show.

'82 Three Sides Live Encore Tour

Genesis' 1982 Encore Tour was in support of their iconic live album album Three Sides Live released on June 4, 1982, worldwide. The tour didn't kick off until August 1st, 1982 in Peoria Illinois an ran until September 30, 1982, finishing at the famous Hammersmith Oden in London England. The tour had 45 shows and 2 legs to the tour. The 1st leg was in the US and included the famous August 21st 1982 show at JFK Stadium in Philadelphia PA where they played in front of 58,000 screaming Genesis fans, their largest US crowd ever. The 2nd leg of the tour in Europe which began on September 3rd, 1982, at Charmilles Stadium in Geneva Switzerland. The Encore Tour again featured the return of Daryl Stuermer on guitar and Chester Thomson on the drums. The setlist was similar to the '81 Abacab Tour setlist but brought back some older fan favorites like Watcher Of The Skies and the epic Supper's Ready, played in it's entirety for the last time on this tour. Subsequent tours only featured fragments of the song. It should be noted that be noted that Peter Gabriel reunited with Genesis for one show in Milton Keynes billed as Six Of The Best on October 2nd 1982. Steve Hackett also made a guest appearance on 2 songs that evening. This show could technically be looked at as the last show of the Encore Tour but it featured a completely different setlist centered around the Gabriel era material. Here are the songs that were featured on this tour, not counting the Six Of The Best show. Not every song was done every night and some songs were only done a few times. Come experience this music live as you have never seen before with The Genesis Show.
