STUNNING 1975 SHOW FROM THE LAMB LIES DOWN… TOUR
Among the ‘Holy Grail, items for Genesis fans, and rumoured to be one of the only professional recordings made on the band's final
tour with Peter Gabriel, Genesis’ show at the Shrine Auditorium in L.A. in January 1975 remains an extraordinary listen.
Performed on the band's celebrated 1975 Lamb Lies Down on Broadway tour, this show features the entire Lamb rock opera, plus an
encore of the band's classic 1971 opus, ‘The Musical Box.’
• The show, recorded for the King Biscuit Flower Hour, was taken from a tour that was particularly interesting for the fact that Peter
Gabriel had informed the band he was leaving to pursue a solo career before either the album had been released or the tour had
commenced. In order to maximize the momentum of the band at that time, it was agreed that Gabriel's impending departure would be
kept a well-guarded secret throughout the jaunt. Thus, Gabriel had to spend a year with the band knowing he was leaving as soon as
the tour was over. Despite the fact - or perhaps as a result of it - Gabriel and the band deliver a spectacular performance here in Los
Angeles, highlighted by Peter's legendary visual theatrics. Included here is a blistering version of ‘Back In New York City,’ as well as
the album's hit single, ‘The Carpet Crawlers.’
