I first saw Genesis in about 1972 or '73 during the Foxtrot tour. They played in Atlanta at the old Fox theatre, one of the few surviving movie houses from the depression. The inside is like being in a moorish town with a star lit ceiling. At that time it was in disrepair and either was for concerts or crappy movies. I must have been 16 or 17.
The concert was general admission and we waited outside in a long line. I still remember the Atlanta police harrassing us. They kept shouting "stay in line up against the buildings!" and "Do you want to come with me to jail!?" The Atlanta police had a thing for beating up hippie types back then. I also remember an old homeless woman trying to bum smokes. She coughed up something on the sidewalk not far from us.
The concert was great and I still remember Peter Gabrial doing "Watcher of the Skies"
