Analysis: Lamb series introduction/impetus
This is the “intro” examination of the title track of the Genesis Archive re-tracked 1975 Live Lamb LA concert, released in 1998.
For more about the 1998 Peter Gabriel re-tracking of Genesis’ Live Concert at the Shrine Auditorium, in LA, in 1975 – – Part 2 is the side-by-side, phrase by phrase breakdown of WHICH Peter G. is singing the song, and WHERE !
**Genesis engineering guru Nick Davis used manual trigger points on a Sony 3348 machine’s internal memory to accomplish these amazing edits – and not ProTools non-linear digital editing. AMAZING!. Note: Gabriel’s RealWorld Studios is located in Box, England near Bath. This is where the pick-up vocals were cut…but, Nick Davis “married” the Live Shrine track with Peter and Steve’s flown-in material at The Farm, in Surrey.**
Analysis/Comparison: Lamb (Title Track) Part 2
An insightful look into the re-tracking of the Gabriel-era Genesis live performance at L.A.’s Shrine Auditorium, in 1975 – for the 1998 Archive 1 collection release.
This NON-commercial, educational video delineates how Genesis’ editing guru – Nick Davis – collaborated with Peter Gabriel & his Real World Studios to fly-in partial-phrase replacements – utilizing the internal memory of a Sony 3348 Digital Tape deck (in an era just prior to the widespread advent of ProTools DAW computer-editing systems). Incredibly difficult and painstaking work – at The Farm, in Surrey!
Analysis: Fly on a Windshield
continuation of the comparative analysis series – highlighting the “restored” portions of the 1975 Shrine Auditorium historic concert of the Lamb. Gabriel and Hackett were called upon to 
do partial re-trackings of their respective vocal and lead guitar parts, in 1997 – due to injury and technical problems on the night of the actual concert.
It was the only “dry” multitrack recording made on the tour which was Peter Gabriel’s last with his originating group.
Accompanying the musical analysis are many of the photographs taken at the (also) historic set of concerts in Cascais, Portugal – which occurred shortly after the country’s Carnation Revolution (bloodless coup).
Analysis: Broadway Melody of 1974
A stroll through a image-laden, historical cavalcade of fading American Pop Culture icons..thanks to the Gabriel-penned, allegorical-based “Broadway Melody of 1974” from Genesis’ Lamb Lies Down on Broadway (restored Shrine Auditorium version – contained on their Archive 1 collection, released in 1998). There was no vocal re-tracking by the 47-year-old Gabriel on this version..only digital restoration….so I go through the historical perspectives – complete with informational backgrounders mentioned in each line of this metaphorical song.
Many thanks to Kevin Holm-Hudson (author of the superlative “Genesis and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway/Ashgate Publishing)…and all the anonymous internet authors who have provided key insights and opinions as to understanding this unique rock opera.
This is a NON-commercial, educational video…meant to elucidate upon the extraordinary genius of 5 brilliant young 24-year-old men, in their musical prime!
Analysis: Back in NYC
A serious, in-depth examination of the FULL vocal re-tracking of “Back in NYC” – for 1998’s Archive 1. I both compare it with the original recording (done live off the soundboard of LA’s Shrine Aud. in Jan 1975) and go more deeply into the reasons behind this Gabriel-based concept leading Genesis to experiment with American Pop Culture and its Proto-Punk era. Also, covered is the underlying philosophical underpinnings of Carl Jung and the Tibetan Book of the Dead (a Gabriel fav read at the time of the writing of the Lamb) and how this is a guide for the surreal story’s protagonist – Rael.
