ARCHIVE 1967-1975

I remember seeing The Lamb performed live in Pittsburgh on a Saturday night in November.... I had been watching a college football game on TV. Notre Dame was beating USC by at least a hundred when I left for the concert.

I remember expecting a good bit of England By the Pound to be played and probably a "lot" of Lamb. I wasn't completely familiar w/Lamb and when Gabriel began intoducing "the entire piece" I was a little POed. I was entertained beyond my wildest dream by the music, the theater, the costumes, and the AV display.

At the time, great live shows were being followed within a few months by a live LP. I was sure this would be on of them. To my surprise it only took 30 years! My only disappointment with this package was not including the encore version of Musical Box from The Lamb shows..... also the technical foul up that caused this live version to simple fade out of IT.

I know there are some mock bands out there preforming some pretty good renditions of The Lamb..... I'm aware that one them even offers a video of their show. My only remaining hope is that somebody.... hopefully not Phil Collins..... will find a good video recording of a live Lamb show and release it!

Oh, by the way...... Anthony Davis scored about 25 touchdowns in the second half and USC came from behind and beat Notre Dame that night!
