The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

@rackon 

You are welcome.  There's some discussion about "best" Lamb releases on Steve Hoffman forums.  Just a word of caution, "hideous" was applied by at least one poster to the 2008 release; other uncomplimentary comments there as well.  I don't hear it that way when playing back a ripped version.  Reviews on Amazon about the 2008 version are considerably more favorable.  It is certainly not the most "euphonic" recording in my collection - never was (and I do have an old gatefold vinyl copy).  If you buy on Amazon and hate it, you can return it of course.  Price is not crazy high, either.

No longer play vinyl here but thanks anyway for the memory. I haven’t thought about this concert in years but remember seeing the tour on Feb. 2, 1975 in GR, MI. Biggest spectacle I had seen since Yes’ fire-breathing dragon. Three video screens (unheard of back then), costumes, and a big rotating cylinder thing that came down from the ceiling over Gabriel. The music was outstanding.
One of the two links below from the GR show has the video but sound was redubbed and the other link has the whole audio without the video. These days, there would be thousands of copies on personal iPhones.

The lamb lies down on Broadway.....

....and gets run over immediately by a series of cabs, heading Uptown...

Absolutely one of my all-time favorite songs, but the recording itself is pretty muffled, sounding like there were socks on every mic in the studio whether on lp, cd, or streamed. But that doesn't matter a whit - just turn it up to 11 and dig it like a shovel - particularly Phil Collins drumming. Wowzers. 

The original U.S. Atco LP release was an awful recording. I purchased a Japanese CD that was much better.
