GENESIS - IT (THE LAMB LIES DOWN ON BROADWAY)

[ErnieAndMaraboo]

I'm interested in covering this album as well with some friends... I'd appreciate if your guitarist could help me out with the guitar setup and would tell me how to create all those hackett sounds. I just listened to your entire show and it's perfect. Thanks a lot =)

Si bravi , troppo uguale all'originale , il cantante sembra che canti in playback spero non sia così anche per gli altri musicisti , se così non fosse tanto di cappello....

[gardenwall07]

@fulviotoso grazie mille per il commento..no..suonavamo tutti live, ma dovendo realizzare un video in sinch con le canzoni e quindi la storia di rael, usammo un click, (un metronomo in parole povere) per poter sincronizzare il tutto..a quel punto approfittamo per registrare anche degli inserti vocali e strumentali dove occorreva, per rendere l' opera piu' ricca e piu' vicina al disco che ai loro live molto (piu' scarni), come ci era stato richiesto...ma tutti noi suonavamo live..ciao :-)

[ricky66genesis]

fantastici..quasi come gli originali!!complimenti!

[gardenwall07]

@ricky66genesis grazie mille :-)

[chucksguitarshop]

You guys do a fabulous job on this tune!

[smiroldo72]

@chucksguitarshop thanks a lot for your appreciation... :-)

[moco635]

Smiroldo..just curious, what do all of you guys do for day jobs.You are the drummer right? What does the lead singer do for a living?

[georgeman2468]

To say you do this as a sort of part time job, is incredible, considering how complex the Lamb is! You are stars, i wish you could play in UK.

[MoveOverCasanova]

thanks to a very good drummer this is one damn good version,- funnily better than any original live version i know

[bibby5000]

ballet does nothing for me... except (in this case) ruin everything behind it

[Satiaraha]

many people want a american tour please we can pay for it

[moco635]

I've watched vid this a dozen times including most of the other stuff you guys have posted on here and I still get goosebumps and I'm amazed how well this production is...I wish, like many others , that u cud come to NYC or at least NJ!I might even go to Ital for G*d's sake!!!Are u ever gonna tour ?

[smiroldo72]

dear bud moco..your devotion is really touching!! see..we have a real hard lif as a band..most of us is not professional musician, we have other jobs and everyone is very very engaged with a very complicate daily life :-)..consider that when we have the chance to play here in naples we have serious troubles in planning reharsals and sometimes we make a gig with just a couple of fast rhearsals of two hours each!! and you know ..this is not pop music ah ah ah..we don't have a personal manager..

[smiroldo72]

we don't have a staff for audio or light and unfortunately we don't have money to invest in this project..and you can see it by the bad quality of most of our videos...ehhhh there are lots italians tribute bands with more fortune in this sense..all this, just to say that we could be very very happy to play more often and all around italy or all the world..but it's a dream..i think we already make miracles, but playing with more attendance would make us a really good band! many thanks bud!!

[smiroldo72]

oops..i forgot to apologize for my bad english ehhh to be honest i wrote quickly

[lookingfortalent2007]

your English is much better than most people's Italian and your band is extremely talented

[moco635]

No thank you very, very much.Your English is a million times better than my Italian! All the very best smiroldo & thank you YouTube! (who'd a thunk these guys are from Italy!?!)

Sono un appassionato dei Genesis con il rammarico di aver iniziato a seguirli a 14 anni, nel 1974, perdendo quindi la possibilita' di vivere i loro concerti dal vivo, non di certo impeccabili, ma pieni di entusiasmo e di voglia di comunicare le proprie emozioni.

Continuo a rivedere il vostro brano MERAVIGLIOSO. Ecco, son proprio le vostre emozioni che emergono. Mi spiace molto che voi non facciate concerti dalle mie parti (Vimercate- Milano). Ancora grazie. Giampiero

[smiroldo72]

grazie mille per le tue parole!! :-)

[gps60]

E' possibile acquistare un vostro CD?

Dimenticavo... ho assistito agli ultimi due concerti dei Musical Box a Milano. Il primo davvero entusiasmante (Black Selling), soprattutto scenografie e cantante. Il secondo (A trick of the Tail) invece deludente : IT (mix con Watcher of the Skies) e' stata suonata e cantata in modo IGNOBILE. La vostra versione non e' nemmeno paragonabile, molto ma molto piu' bella. Che si siano "commercializzati" anche loro a furia di concerti da 40 euro a ingresso? :)

[comguy1313]

Oh please, can't you come to America? I have been a Genesis fan since the Lamb days and this is probably the best version of the Lamb that I've ever seen and heard! You guys would pack houses here with all of the old school fans such as myself. Genesis quit doing Lamb and all of the other good old stuff years ago. I sure miss it.

[smiroldo72]

America? oh what a dream!! eh eh eh..thank you so much for your kind words of appreciation..if you're planning to come for a vacation here in Italy, we're going to make a show of the lamb in the first week of july here in Naples... :-)

[gps60]

Tornerete ancora a Todi? Per voi un viaggio val bene la spesa

[smiroldo72]

grazie mille ancora e scusa per il ritardo..dovremmo rifare uno show di the lamb a napolki i primi di luglio..se ti puo' interessare ti terro' informato.. :-)

[jdavidramsey]

I found one of the clips from this performance while searching for Genesis. So, I looked for the beginning of this performance, and found myself here, at "it," about an hour and a half later.

In other words, this is an amazing performance! Great musicianship, wonderful stage presence, solid choreography, and nicely edited film make up one of the best interpretations of THE LAMB I have seen.

Tremendous!

[smiroldo72]

we're so happy when someone like you spend words like these..this pay us back for the big effort we made some years ago..thanks a lot for watching all the show..if you are interested in the dvd of this show you can find the torrent on the site genesis movement..search for garden wall live in todi..obviously it's free ...thanks again

[alejandrogarciao]

By accident found these vids, I already finished seen them all. Congrats, beautiful interpreted. I'm big Genesis fan from my 15's, now I'm 50. My best wishes from Mexico.

[smiroldo72]

thanks a lot for dedicating some of your time to our videos..so glad you appreciated!!

[Satiaraha]

But indeed all of this performance is Theatrical, dramatic amazing, bombastic and bewtiful thank-you indeed

[Satiaraha]

[89DrAcoNiAn89]

OK where's Mr. Steve Hackett!!!!?

[smiroldo72]

eh eh ..my friend, maybe you misunderstood! steve played his acoustic gig before our show..just an opening act..we wanted him to play something with us on stage but he kindly refused, saying he didn't remember one note of the lamb songs..:-)

[sledgeinc2]

WOW !! This is great !! Does Garden Wall have a website to visit?

[smiroldo72]

hello, thank you!

our website is

gardenwall . it

thanks again!

[hyperboreal]

After having watched all the clips I must say you put up a firs-rate show, the music is suprisingly tight. Because of my birth date I missed the original tour and, unforgivably, a few years ago, the TMB show. What a shame also not being around to see this performance of yours. Anyway, congratulations again on an excellent take of Genesis' magnum opus!

[smiroldo72]

i can't believe you spend so much time to watch the entire show!! thank you very much!! everyone of us regrets for having not had the chance to see the original show, and for having lost the one from TMB..anyway our show for us was like a dream come true!! we had the honour to have steve hackett in the audience, and the famous mime Lindsay Kemp interpreting his own way the story of Rael. I'm glad you appreciated and i'm so really grateful to you! bye

[89DrAcoNiAn89]

great!! cuando fue este tributo?
