The inevitable emotion evoked by the two-handed intro of The Lamb

Lileigh, 
When you closed your eyes in sonic-induced pleasure at Tony Banks cross-handed keyboard opening, in your YouTube video, I couldnt help but smile and involuntarily tear up. 
Your obvious love for the music was transparent and I was momentarily transported back to the days when listening to this song was a transcendental experience. Thanks for that.
I thought that I had an ear. My God! You are definitely right for your profession.

What can I say, Bozz?  * knowing smile & understanding lift of shoulders*
Who among us (who came of age, during the time of The Lamb) can keep the beating of our hearts, within their same steady rhythms, when we hear Tony's hands rapidly dispensing that haunting, repetitive opening arpeggio of its Title Track?
For me, hearing it...after years of being away...funneled such diametric feelings of intense joy & realized loss (re-discovery vs. that which time can never give back) - and I think that is what you can all see drift over my face throughout my Lamb (and Supper's Ready) series.
You are literally seeing me (and my heart) stretch for God's Elastic Acre...(and I am glad I transported you, as well, along with me).  *misty, appreciative eyes*

xoxo Lil

From one Genesis videomaker to another...a gift.

Hi Lileigh,

Just wanted to thank you for all of those enormously informative and entertaining analysis videos and your interviews as well. Please keep them coming and never stop.

Randy

Dearest Randy ~
...your words of praise mean the World to me (since, in many ways, your exemplary work served as the catalyst for my 
"re-entry" back to the early Genesis music, which I loved so dearly as a teenager)
This led me to the Archive, which led me to the Shrine...which led me to The Musical Box...which led me to all my equally-fanatical, truly gifted collaborators (Tom Lord-Alge, Steve Hackett, Analog Mike Piera and Dave Kerzner).

I just returned an hour ago from Montreal - where I took in the final TMB Lamb concert of this tour (which will re-resume in the late Fall) - in the Canadien's hockey arena - The Bell Centre ...with over 4,000 hometown fans cheering them home.

It was a sight to see...and lovely to meet such talent as Serge Morissette, Jack Beerman and Martin Levac after the show.
It's a small world..this one you've helped to promulgate, my dear friend.

As long as I keep getting the thoughtful, supportive (and tremendously appreciated, on my part) responses that are (like yours) sent my way - I promise to keep producing the informative and in-depth features that come of being both a severe Genesis/Gabriel devotee ..and former TV News professional.

It seems, like you, I can't help but follow along the path which keeps unfolding in new and completely surprising ways! 
*radiant

All my most sincere gratitude,

Xoxo LiLeigh

Hello, dear Mario -

YES...it was me who you saw, that night at the Bell Center - seeing The Musical Box and their final LLDOB of this tour (along with all of you wonderfully devoted Canadian Genesis/Lamb fans)!
My collaborator, Grammy Award winner Tom Lord-Alge (Peter Gabriel's re-mix engineer of choice), our Lamb friends and I drove  up from NY to see the band, playing to their hometown crowd in Montreal - after seeing TMB perform the LLDOB approx. 30 times (between us), this past year.
And, we wouldn't have missed it for the world!
I wish you had come over and said "Bonjour, LILeigh White Lilith" (for I would have certainly given you a hug for doing so!)
We hope you enjoyed the show as much as we did ;-)

Xoxo,  Lil

*FOR SERIOUS LAMB FANATICS ONLY !!!* 

A
n Analysis of the many allegorical layers, written by Peter Gabriel, within the pivotal song "The Chamber of 32 Doors" on the original Lamb Lies Down on Broadway album.

Jungian Archetype Theory, The Power of Myth's Hero's Journey and the Tibetan Book of the Dead provide the framework with which Gabriel wrote of his pending decision to leave Genesis.
Add onto that the visual work of "El Topo" director Alejandro Jodorowsky, as Peter's inspiration - and you have one, very serious surrealistic work of art.

WARNING/ADVISORY:   This trilogy of videos are DEEP (because these metaphysical/psychoanalytical works were what Peter Gabriel had been reading up until the uber-rushed writing of The Lamb)!
Although, he claims the lyrics are flawed - many still consider it a layered work of genius.
Part Surrealism, Part Metaphysical, Part Self Psychoanalytical. 

These videos are the result of 2 years of intense research and many contributions by many people (several, quite close to Peter Gabriel & Genesis).

As Tony Robinson wrote for the 1970-1975 Genesis Box Set: "It's a mistake to think of the narrative as only having one meaning because every listener must create their own personal story."
This trilogy's analysis is not set in concrete.  It is meant to elucidate upon the metaphysical texts by which Peter was reaching to obtain his own new pathway (out of the band and into his own solo career, away from "Genesis-the-Big")....as well as start new discussions as to what the album meant to YOU, the listener.
From all of us who collaborated on these videos....ENJOY!!
