The Genesis Show to recreate A Trick of The Tail at The Newton Theatre

originally published: 11/12/2024

(NEWTON, NJ) -- The Genesis Show returns to The Newton Theatre on Saturday, January 25, 2025 at 8:00pm. This time the band is recreating the 1976 A Trick of the Tail Tour.

The Genesis 1976 A Trick of the Tail Tour is an iconic performance and fan favorite as it represents the first time Phil Collins stepped out from behind the drum kit to take over the duties of lead singer and front-man after the departure of Peter Gabriel. It is also the one and only tour to feature Bill Bruford of Yes and King Crimson as the Genesis touring drummer. It features many Gabriel era songs and fan favorites such as Supper’s Ready, Firth of Fifth, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway, Cinema Show, and more. But it also showcases the start of the Phil Collins era and one of the greatest progressive rock albums of all time, A Trick Of The Tail with classics such as Dance On A Volcano, Entangled, Squonk, and more. This tour has something for all fans of the 1970’s era of Genesis.

So come relive that experience as it was. The Genesis Show is the only Genesis Tribute Band in the US dedicated to recreating the Phil Collins era of Genesis, specifically focusing on the ’76-’82 Tours. With two drummers and a ton of vintage gear, The Genesis Show faithfully delivers the Genesis live experience. This electric concert experience brings all the power, groove, and excitement that Genesis brought to the stage.

Tickets range from $39-$49 (plus fees) and are available for purchase online. The Newton Theatre is located at 234 Spring Street in Newton, New Jersey.

The band includes Jeff Giuliani (Lead Vocals, Drums, Percussion, Bass Pedals, Roland Drum Machines), Stephen McQuaid (6 String Guitars, 12 String Guitars, Nylon String Guitars, Guitar Synth, Vocals), Matt Thomas (Keyboards, 12 String Guitar), Vince Corda (Drums, Percussion, Vocals), and Mike Bitts (Bass Guitars, 12 String Guitars, 6 String Guitars, Guitar Synth, Bass Pedals).
