 Topic: 40th Anniversary of Lamb Lies Down on Broadway
Posted: June 11 2014 at 20:54 |
In the summer of 1974, Genesis went on tour with their concept-album: "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway." It is 40 years this year since that magnificent debut...
Does anyone know of a special commemoration this summer (or later this year) for this landmark event? For example: Will the Canadian group Musical Box reprise the whole LLDOB this year as a tribute to that great album?

I'll definitely be giving The Lamb a spin in celebration of this joyous occasion.

They are getting back together for several shows to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the album. Full tour, stage show and costume changes by PG...no Chester Thompson or Daryl Stuemer on this tour.

You really had me going for second! But wouldn't that be simply incredible?

i might as well wait till November 18 (as that's the apparent release date of that album) to hear it again, but i may hear it before that; i need to get into to more anyway.

Absolutely my favorite Genesis album. It's sad that some people don't get it. If you've ever had a really weird dream, you get it.

Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Maybe Hackett will pick up a few extra lamb tunes for the tour?

Right on, these ones: Broadway Melody of 1974; Hairless Heart; Riding The Scree; Silent Sorrow In Empty Boats and Here Comes The Supernatural Anaesthetist - BY FAR the most experimental and surreal tunes from Genesis, and of course my fave ones.

I always thought The Colony of Slippermen was good fun as well. Very cool song. I love the keyboard work from Banks.

I've been listening to it lately every day in my car. The playing options in my car let me turn the compression on or off. FYI, It's much better with it off. Side three is my favorite side, but the whole thing is fantastic. Strange chords and strange rhythm at the start of Supernatural Anaesthetist.

I was disappointed in the 1999 version because of the absence of Hackett's fluid guitar line in the "gotta get in to get out" chorus...
