50 years ago, Genesis released Selling England by the Pound and changed rock history. It’s 1973—Peter Gabriel's famous theatrics and Genesis' musical apex produce some of the most iconic images and sounds of the 70’s, enjoying to this day a cult following. Now, The Musical Box, who shared the stage with Phil Collins and Steve Hackett as performing guests and acclaimed by more than a million spectators in some of the most prestigious venues in the world such as London’s Royal Albert Hall and Paris’ Olympia, will perform the emblematic 1973 show in painstaking detail. 

Peter Gabriel said, "TMB recreated, very accurately I must say, what Genesis was doing. I saw them in Bristol with my children so they could see what their father did back then.” Phil Collins said, "They're not a tribute band, they have taken a period and are faithfully reproducing it in the same way that someone would do a theatrical production."
