The Selling England by the Pound tour began in August of 1973. Already a popular group in Europe
after the Foxtrot album, Genesis would finally receive significant recognition in the United
States with the tour promoting this new album. The Band focused heavily on touring American
college campuses, referring to the white and black shows depending on the stage backdrop used at
the time. Mike Rutherford: "We've always gone down well in the big industrial cities of the East
Coast and Mid West (America), maybe because of the element of fantasy and escapism in our shows."
Genesis played at McGraw Hall at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois on December 3, 1973
during the white show leg of the tour and were well received. Taking time off only for the
Christmas holiday, the band then continued with shows in Europe. By March of 1974 they found
themselves back in the United States for the black shows and were booked to play Northwestern
again on April 17th. There is some controversy over the exact date of this show with some
evidence suggesting that it occurred on April 27th.
This CD contains part of that show. The recording is known to be incomplete and many of the songs
here were also played by the band during their previous visit to Evanston in December. This has
led to the speculation that the recording is actually from the December 1973 show. However, this
is unlikely since 'Horizons' and 'More Fool Me' were not known to be performed during the earlier
concert and they are present on this recording as back to back tracks. This track order did not
occur often on the Selling England by the Pound tour making Evanston '74 a special show because
of this fact.



Notes from the Re-Master
This recording was made with audience microphones. These microphones produced both a
baseline hiss and a high frequency, volume dependent hiss. Each had to be eliminated separately.
Generally, the frequency response was quite good for the equipment used at the time. The
frequency range needed some adjustment to give the recording good detail and clarity. At one
point during 'Battle of Epping Forest' the mid and high frequencies became degraded and almost
completely lost in the left channel. This could only be incompletely corrected. Finally, the
last song "Firth of Fifth" fades out during the guitar solo. No complete recording of this show
is known to exit.
