Comment
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.

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.

No complete recording of this show is known to exit.
