A 1955 double die coin or a 1960s Spiderman #1 have much in common with one singular date in Genesis history, December 11th, 1972. Like the coin and comic, this date was a very rare singular occurrence in Genesis history. This was the date of the first Genesis concert in the United States. Genesis performed at Brandeis University as a warm-up gig for the group’s “official” American debut two days later at Philharmonic Hall in New York. The concert, as of record attracted between 8 -20 people in attendance. Can you imagine what that concert ticket or any other evidence of the concert must be worth today? There is nothing out there at the time of publishing this article that is a historical artifact from the concert. Can you imagine, being one of the possible 20 people in attendance. Unaware that this same band would be what today we know as Genesis.
