Genesis - The Grand Parade Of Lifeless Packaging - Lamb 1975

[angelfang]

whoooaaa how did they do the vocal effect live?

[timthehippie]

there is still quality in the musical world, the shame that it is effectively obscured by crap!!

Timothy

:o)

[Oziumpoet]

The Celt is correct!~!!

[Hutcarlingos]

it's the last great adventure left to mankind!

[raulsinner666]

The lamb lies down on Broadway: Great masterpiece

[hubiex]

The Lamb was a great follow up to Selling England.

[RequiemX66]

I was singer in a band here in Chicago called Grande Parage, we were awesome back in 98, I miss the days they are still around, I have accent and all they found a different singer but it was great to do PG earlier stuff....

[ThefightingCelt]

From 67 to 77 was a golden era in rock music. I would argue vehemently that this period produced not only great band/artistes  but probaly some of the best albums ever produced.

[Peterwhitlock]

MAsterpice of fantastic work...a movie as a double album is beyond the low perception of many foolish kids today...beyond talent to genius work we lost a lot when they broke up as 1st rivals of the PINK Floyd gang. So give some respect for being beyond most of you still today. Studio stuff is always better in them days. So go to the studio stuff over the live stuff FIRST. See what they wanted you to hear over the do for audiences. Give them credit for they were genius in action.

[wrestlerfan99]

i think i just had a flashback?

[TheDailyVinyl]

TheDailyVinyl approves this video. excellent.

[genesis310788]

raaaaaaeeeeeel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[adyathevara28]

whoa cool

[TrishaZurigo]

Bellissima!!!

[larreedotcom]

Another great one! Love it!

[Prunesqualer]

Lamb lies down should have been a single album.

[hawkhandsaw]

I used to think that and then I really listened to the 2nd album with an open ear and an open mind, and to me, in some ways, I find it on a par or superior to the 1st album. Just my opinion, but I think the 2nd lp deserves a real chance, which is difficult when the 1st seems so complete and amazing by itself. However, I think the concept of the story was just too complex to be contained in only one album. The 2nd lp is, to my ears, wonderfully rich and challenging. Way ahead of its time.

[wigginsdesign]

I've never thought that it should be a single album. In the 70's I used to get buzzed, turned the lights out and listen to it like a movie...It was perfect in it's narrative, arrangement, atmospheric evolution, lyrics and musicianship! Love LAMB

[johncat17]

Thanks for this one! The greatest show of all was "The Lamb" it changed of the lives of us who seen it. You felt you weren't alone anymore, that it all could be real.. all you were feeling. Growning up in NYC in the 1970s wasn't easy.. And Peter nailed it down. He's one of the greatest artist in music and art history ever. He always creates magic and awakens feeling you never knew before. Its hard it explain but there's many that know just what I'm talking about. Thanks Peter.

[heehaa99]

@johncat17 It changed my life thats for sure . And its still working on me 36 years later !!

[bigwo56]

another GEM there Tommygun!! GOOD STUFF! ! !

[Topographer]

Gabriel was about 25 when he left Genesis. (And McCartney was 27 when he spil up the Beatles). Unbelievable!

Everything was better in the 70s, right? Today's music is just crap, right?

Take this from a man who was there from the beginning of the 70s. There was an awful lot of crap music in the 70s.

And the last 10 years we have seen talents like Spock's Beard, Flower Kings, Ayreon, Transatlantic, The Tangent, IQ, Echolyn, Magic Pie. Stop sobbing, support today's godd musicians

[Tommygun1028]

i agree with you, as a matter of fact I think that video has hurt the careers of many of today's musicians. There's a lot of great music out there that seems to just evaporate too quickly and I think a lot of that has to do with video today. "Video has killed the radio star"

[Oziumpoet]

@Tommygun1028 of course- but wasn't it us who started putting music to film in the 70's- it is really our fault we didn't take more interest in what shit they pumped into us on MTV

[Hyardacil]

Agreed. You just don't find the good artists in the mainstream anymore.

In the 70 however it seemed that progressive rock was mainstream at a time...

So in that aspect, that time was different.

[Oziumpoet]

@Topographer let it roll--- again when i clipped your Hyperlink the site and tunes were bloked with copyrite- damn- I was looking forward to King Biskit as we all did back then and stayed up late for the grand parade- thanks for all the Genisis- It keeps the breath in my lungs and the leap in my soul.

[anonymusum]

@Topographer

I think it´s not the music, it´s the audience. They hardly have patience to listen to longer solos or instrumental parts, pure music without big lightshows or something visual is not enough and at least the total concentration on the singers whereas the bands became more and more unimportant.

For a normal, unknown band it is nearly impossible to build up a tension from a soft basic through a long progression to a climax - they folks would yawn or leave the hall .......

[InfidelAntichristian]

LOL you can't even compare this to younger people today don't even call them artists they will never make a double album that will be considered the greatest live performance of a double album in its entirety.

what else is there the white album? the beatles didn't perform that live, only other album is pink floyd the wall that is debatable.

[gcampa]

I don't think the played the double album in its entirety... this song is very shortened...

[beatlesdylanyes]

i've got a much longer version on this mp3

[TheCorrectAnswer56]

That's only cuz this video is edited. They did play the double album in its entirety plus two ten minute encore songs (Watcher of the Skies and Musical Box).

[heehaa99]

@InfidelAntichristian - there was Tommy and Quadraphena that were performed in their entirety . Tommy many times . LAMB is my favorite hands down

[XXDanyAlfXX]

@InfidelAntichristian i hate to see all the "artist" of this days they think that if they make a video whit lot of half naked womens the making the best shit in the world

[slavemale2]

If only the most recent Genesis re-union had been with Pete & Steve on board, and they'd done "The Lamb", in it's entireity. As wass the original plan, my god what a tour THAT would have been!

[kipp0man]

Brilliant - that was such a gem

[thewish4]

pure artwork..brother john is number nine.....

[JMRBAQ]

Thanks, Tommygun1028. You´re a Rare Rael in the Real World.

[reverendfrog]

i wouldn't say that Gabriel was 'pushing 30' when he was only 24.....

[AmishChildren]

I actually quit my corporate job and moved to California because of this song. Thanks Pete.

[Hyardacil]

Good for you!

:D

[JakeDelaneyPoet]

The disconnect with Gabriel came from his fascination with playing a New York Street "teenager" when he was pushing 30...

[gcampa]

How do you know that? I can't imagine...

[JakeDelaneyPoet]

I just do...so there.

[spartico73]

He wasn´t 30!!!!!!!!!!

[NewVideoVixens]

Okay he was 25...but c'mon...it all seemed a tad off-beat....not spot on or perfect like all younger artists are these days...

[jackryangolf]

Come on vixen. First of all so called younger artists have digital mania to work with plus their music is much less complex thatn this. This is truly live. No

[Fritz641]

OMG are you high? all younger artist these days perfect!? new young artist have no talent! its all sex, scandal & money!

and this is coming from a 20 YR old!

[sturmtheest]

right, 20 years old.. and for me he's better than all younger artist you would find these days

[mysticalfudge]

I agree, Modern music sucks; the reason they sound tight is because they all just play the same power chords over and over, and the chord progressions to every song are all the same. there's no songwriting talent involved anymore.

[gcampa]

Maybe you're right, but there are some exceptions, like Radiohead I think...

[mysticalfudge]

Of course, I agree that they're good, but I was just talking in general

[wigginsdesign]

Typical Rock music has sucked in general for several decades now...there's too many other styles glovally to bother with 'Rock' which is dead and redundant...This music live on forever because it's intricate and has evolving narratives within the music and lyrics. It challenges you and gives a variety of emotions, atmospheres and attitudes. So sad that prog got lost in the mainstream mindset. I hope way in future times it will regain the respect it so greatly deserves. So that kids will know it!

[squidlycarmichael]

Peter announced his leaving the band before the tour began. It was kept "hush-hush" and I presume that nothing was documented because the theory was that the band was near non-existence. Little did the label know that this was one of the most important tours in the history of modern music.

[tenchimasake]

Indeed, that is plausible, Charisma (or Atlantic over here--more properly, ATCO--) Records thought that after the tour was over, Peter would leave, the band would fall apart, and they would go on to start mediocre, unsuccessful solo careers (HA!). Thus, the tour was not documented because the record labels thought that the public would not care about Genesis once the band dissolved. They were wrong. DEAD WRONG.

[actron]

Why was this fantastic tour not filmed profesionally on 35?Or does exist on a shelf somewhere, under legal constraint?

[SoloGuitaristNet]

"A" for Awesome!!

[bugzealot]

Great to see Peter as Rael live on stage. I would love to get hold of these box-sets for sure!

[kenrayboy]

First I've ever seen, awesome!!

[Bang0r]

I never understood why there are recordings from every other tour, but it's very rare to find one of the Lamb tour. Great film, nontheless.

[MargusKiistheCritic]

Yep. The most theatrical tour of Genesis and no correct film footages, only amateur or TV pieces. Strange.

[jwild49]

super

[abigailjazz]

very very cool

[PrZemek44]

Definielly one of the best rock albums ever. Tommygun, you're a true Genesis ambassador! Thanx for all those postings.

[vcasalnova]

I agree with all of that.Long live classic Genesis!!

[mirobaldo]

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway LP is AWESOME!
