The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway

🔗 https://www.didiermary.fr/genesis-lamb-dies-down-broadway/

On this date, 49 years ago on November 18, 1974 – Genesis‘ The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is released.

“The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” is a double album by Genesis, released on this date in November 1974, their 6th studio album.
It reached #41 on the Billboard 200 Top LP’s chart, and #10 in the UK.

In 2012, the album ranked #5 in Rolling Stone’s “Readers’ Poll: Your Favorite Prog Rock Albums of All Time.”

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 story’s occurrences and places were derived from Peter Gabriel’s dreams, and the protagonist’s name is a play on his surname. In the 1991 documentary “Genesis: A History”, Phil Collins remarked, “It’s about a ‘split personality’ (referring to the live performance of “it.”). In this context, Rael would believe he is looking for John but is actually looking for a missing part of himself. The individual songs also make satirical allusions to mythology, the sexual revolution, advertising, and consumerism.

It was their sixth studio album and the last album by the group to feature the involvement of lead singer Peter Gabriel.
For this reason, most of the music was written by Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford, with some contribution from Steve Hackett and, at first, virtually none from Gabriel.
Tracks like “Anyway” and “Lilywhite Lilith” were developed from earlier unused 1969 compositions by the band (“Frustration” and “The Light” respectively) which were likely to have been group efforts.

Genesis, 1974

REVIEW

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine, allmusic

Given all the overt literary references of Selling England by the Pound, along with their taste for epic suites such as “Supper’s Ready,” it was only a matter of time before Genesis attempted a full-fledged concept album, and 1974’s The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway was a massive rock opera: the winding, wielding story of a Puerto Rican hustler name Rael making his way in New York City.
Peter Gabriel made some tentative moves toward developing this story into a movie with William Friedkin but it never took off, perhaps it’s just as well; even with the lengthy libretto included with the album, the story never makes sense. But just because the story is rather impenetrable doesn’t mean that the album is as well, because it is a forceful, imaginative piece of work that showcases the original Genesis lineup at a peak. Even if the story is rather hard to piece together, the album is set up in a remarkable fashion, with the first LP being devoted to pop-oriented rock songs and the second being largely devoted to instrumentals.
This means that The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway contains both Genesis’ most immediate music to date and its most elliptical. Depending on a listener’s taste, they may gravitate toward the first LP with its tight collection of ten rock songs, or the nightmarish landscapes of the second, where Rael descends into darkness and ultimately redemption (or so it would seem), but there’s little question that the first album is far more direct than the second and it contains a number of masterpieces, from the opening fanfare of the title song to the surging “In the Cage,” from the frightening “Back in NYC” to the soothing conclusion “The Carpet Crawlers.”
In retrospect, this first LP plays a bit more like the first Gabriel solo album than the final Genesis album, but there’s also little question that the band helps form and shape this music (with Brian Eno adding extra coloring on occasion), while Genesis shines as a group shines on the impressionistic second half. In every way, it’s a considerable, lasting achievement and it’s little wonder that Peter Gabriel had to leave the band after this record: they had gone as far as they could go together, and could never top this extraordinary album.

My dad used to do interior design work for nightclubs and strip-clubs and got to know most of the jukebox maintenance guys, who would save the discarded 45s from the jukebox for him to bring home to me. Which meant that my childhood record collection was heavy on "music to strip to".

One of them was this record, "Honey Machine" by Canadian rock band Three's a Crowd, who broke up after being tired of being pigeonholed as a novelty band.

#DavidBowie, “Sound and Vision” from album “Low”

Oh man, I love an opportunity to wheel this small saga out.

In 1977, David Bowie releases LP “Low” then #NickLowe releases EP “Bowi”

Hardy har har, good one Nick, right? (Please tell me you see what Nick LOWe did there.)
OK, stay with me…

Bowie’s LP includes tracks “Sound and Vision” (the one that brought us here) and “Breaking Glass.”

In 1978, Nick Lowe releases LP “Jesus of Cool” (“Pure Pop For Now People” for the pearl-clutching American audience) which includes the track “I Love the Sound of Breaking Glass.” (Title rings a bell, don’t it?)

Now, listen to Bowie’s “Sound and Vision”

For some reason I listened more to this album than JD's greats. I feel like this album shows a bit more range and diversity with songs from different times in their period. I really like the live show as well, although it's disappointing that the start of Ceremony is cut off. These Days would have been a great addition as that's my favourite JD track. Is this even a comp actually?

1998 European #CD reissue.

The fifth studio album by Yes was released #OnThisDay in 1972. Side one is their magnum opus: an 18 minute long gem of #symphonicprog, with many different segments and twists and turns but comes around in the end. Chris Squire's bass is brilliant and so is Bill Brugord's drumming. The latter half of And You And I is amazing and Siberian Khatru absolutely rocks. Great album!

My absolute favourite album by Yes, Gates Of Delirium is a brilliant track that doesn't overstay its welcome despite its 23 minute length. I love the "battle sequence" in the middle: it's epic. Maybe I like it so much because the album is very dense and up-tempo, I tend to lose attention if there's a lot of slow segments but this album keeps you in for the ride all the way through.

I venture into prog rock every now and then and I am particularly fond of #vdgg. This record has got some funkyness which I quite like. Unfortunate that the brilliant Meurglys III ends in a fade-out though... I got this for very cheap, normally a VdGG #vinyl would cost you €25, but this only cost me €9. I did have to make a Discogs page for it, though. Bonus: me posing with the record and making scans.

When I put this on the first time I was met with some heavy sounding punk rock, which is not what I expected. I hadn't listened to Ultravox before, but I know I expected refined synth pop. Granted: this is a compilation album from their very early, punkier, years. I quite like the sound of this, and certainly will be looking into more Ultravox later on.

Always saw this cover in the €1 section and there were three in another unsorted budget section and I always wondered why, as the cover is absolutely beautiful and intriguing. For just €1 I was willing to take the gamble (I should more often) and I am glad I did, because it sounds great. This record shows an intermedial point between pub rock and new wave.

Should have had it in 1!

Listening for what has to be some thousandth time this morning, one of my favorite albums ever, released the year before I was born-- The Clash's brilliant London Calling.

A perfect record from front to back, of course.

This album is such a huge part of my youth, having discovered it with my friends when I was around 13 or 14, been listening to it for (nearly) 30 years now.

These songs are like, INGRAINED in me. They're so damn catchy and amazing. The Clash's other albums and songs are cool too, but there's something MAGICAL about this album.

The cover to London Calling, the classic 1979 album by punk band The Clash, with the band's name in white, the word London in pink, and Calling in green. The scene is a black and white photograph of bassist Paul Simonon mid-swing getting ready to smash his bass on the ground.

Listen to some Carly Simon today, you won't regret it. #70smusic #icon #carlysimon

I have a strong belief that the music of the Ramones is one of the best things you can listen to when washing dishes. I love a ton of their songs and go through phases, but this is my current 23-song Ramones dishwashing playlist for 2023. I feel like this is a good, quick selection of some of their early 70s stuff, mid era 80s stuff, and even later 90s stuff, bigger hits and lesser known songs, with an instrumental and a couple of great covers (Creedence and the Trashmen!) in one neat little package. Put it on shuffle and bop til you drop.

Around this day in 1980, "Rapper's Delight" by The Sugarhill Gang became the first rap song to hit the Billboard Hot 100, when it reached #36 on the chart.

Hi! I'm Alex. I use he/him or they/them pronouns. I'm in my early 30s. You might know me as @alex or for the @yachtbot bot.

I also run the 24/7 #70smusic #80smusic internet radio station @fm.

I've created this open-follow account to promote my DJ and merch-designing gig as Dads FM.

Sorry for the upcoming hashtag dump here...

I'm a #dj/#vinyldj who plays and collects #aor #westcoast #softrock #citypop #jpop #yachtrock #vinylrecords and #45s using a #rotarymixer. I also use #serato from time to time.

I have occasional #livemusic gigs around the #massachusetts #newhampshire #newengland area that I will post about here.

I also design and sell my own merch; some designs for sale on my #bandcamp (link in bio) are shown in two of the attached pictures.

I upload rips of rare records to my youtube channel (search "dads fm" there).

Follow me here if you like smooth music and pictures of any two people together with the caption #steelydan.

i'm djing on two turntables and a rotary mixer, i'm wearing sunglasses and a blue short sleeve shirt with sunsets on it. I'm wearing tan shorts. I am very tall so my head is inside the roof of the tent

Here’s a thread of songs I like or think are interesting. Most of them will be a bit older. I’m old so they’ll be old and my tastes tend to run late 50s through early 80s. This isn’t regular. I’ll come back when I feel like it. #music #oldschool #rock #70smusic #80smusic #60smusic #50smusic
