Progressive rock reenactors The Musical Box, exclusively authorized by Genesis and Peter Gabriel, will perform the recreation of Genesis’ The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway in the Manhattan Center’s Grand Ballroom on Friday, November 23. This performance will feature all 1,000 original slide projections from the 1974 – 1975 Genesis tour.
The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is an iconic double concept album recorded and released in 1974 by the British band Genesis (Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, Tony Banks, and Steve Hackett) during their progressive rock era, with “enossification” by Brian Eno. It was their sixth studio album and the last album by the group to feature the involvement of lead singer Peter Gabriel.
The album tells the surreal story of a half Puerto Rican juvenile delinquent named Rael living in New York City, who is swept underground to face bizarre creatures and nightmarish dangers in order to rescue his brother John. Several of the stories, occurrences, and places were derived from Peter Gabriel’s dreams, and the protagonist’s name is a play on his surname. The individual songs also make satirical allusions to mythology, the sexual revolution, advertising, and consumerism.
