The band had no plans, at this time, to release a live album, but the decision was made on the part of their label, Charisma Records, to release Genesis Live as a budget-priced title to mark time while the band recorded 'Selling England by the Pound' in mid-1973.
The result became a boon for Genesis' most devoted fans, as this album represented the only legitimately released concert recording of the band (with Peter Gabriel on vocals) for 25 years.
The tracks on the album were recorded at De Montfort Hall, Leicester, on 25 February 1973 (except for "Return of the Giant Hogweed", recorded in Manchester on the previous day), when the band was touring in support of their Foxtrot album.
A handful of early radio promotional double sets pressed on an extremely limited basis by dutch Philips Records exist, which include the epic-length "Supper's Ready", the band's signature live song from this period.
Ultimately, the track was omitted and the album was released as a single-budget priced LP in July 1973. Despite this, the cover art still depicts a performance of "Supper's Ready".
The LP was later re issued, after the success of Selling England By The Pound, as a full-price LP in a glossy sleeve
