first listen...amazing

Great play!  I haven't played/heard this in ages, but you fall right into it like a comfortable old chair. l just wonder how it's received by people who hear it for the first time?

Brings me back to a simpler, better time

His voice isn't the only thing that hasn't changed. This truly is a relic.

Wow...heaven't heard this one in a long time. How beautiful!
 

Ah, return with us now to wandering down the dorm hall, hearing interesting music, and asking the person playing it about the band. That's how I first heard this album.

Man, that's longer ago than I want to even think about.

I thought that the background keyboards would make a good cell phone ring tone, but I couldn't find a long enough section without vocals.

What a nice surprise! You just never know what's next...Well done RP!

Wow, what an excellent relic. The unique signature of early Genesis records can be appreciated ... Peter Gabriel's voice remains almost unchanged ...

I have heard this live a number of times.  Still brings chills.

I love all 3 versions of this song , but prefer this.

There is an excellent tribute band called The Musical Box that performs the Lamb show — exactly as Genesis did it in'74- '75.  If you are interested in early Genesis / Gabriel, I strongly recommend that you check them out.  

interesting. I've never explored much early genesis. It just seemed too... out there. This is OK though. solid 7 on first listen

Yes I do. Thanks for asking.

 All respect to Peter's solo work, which I mostly love, and understanding the love for the early Genesis from people who didn't like their pop records sung by Phil, but the whole prog rock thing generally is not my cup of tea.

Of the major - successful prog acts - and I don't consider Floyd a prog act - Gabriel's Genesis was better than Yes which in turn was better than ELP - but none of them could ever make it to my list of top 50 rock and roll acts.

Did the same, bump from 9=>10

This song is soooo good for the ears...

 

I played this record to death back in the day. I wonder how many people realize how seedy and rundown Broadway (and NYC) in general was back then. Despite, or because of this NY was fantastic. Somehow this record captures the feel of the incredible underground energy that the city pulsed with in the 70's and early eighties. No more mud club, cbgb, graffiti, raw neighborhoods.

Oui ! oui ! plus de Genesis please   "SellingEngland by the pound" par example

who rates this song 3 or less?  do they even enjoy music?

Got to see them do The Lamb live back then, Music Hall, Cleveburg, 3000 seats.

Gabriel's last tour with the band, a most excellent, jawdropping show.

Those were the days !
