The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway


I just picked up a reissue on vinyl. Very well done! This has always been one of my favorites. The copy I had never sounded this good, nor did the cd. If your a fan it's worth the $34.

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.

I have the ATCO SD-2-401 release and agree that it's well done.

Not to divert this discussion but is everyone familiar with the live recording in LA of Lamb on the 'Genesis Live 1967-75' 4 CD box set (Atlantic 82858-2).   It's an amazing live recording that I've got to believe was somehow enhanced after the actual concert as live recordings back then never sounded this good.

CDs 1 & 2 are Lamb and CDs 3 & 4 contain live BBC tracks mainly from Foxtrot & Selling England by the Pound. Recording quality of CDs 3 & 4 are not as good, but the live Lamb recording more than makes up for it.
