Hi, Lil. 
I have thoroughly enjoyed your in-depth analyses series of classic Genesis. 

I learned a lot from the Shrine comparison. I just saw your analysis of Hackett's '74/75 rig. 

As a huge fan of Hackett, I pretty much knew this already (and have reissues or clones of all his pedals), but it was really good to see it all in one place and thoroughly described.

I'd like to point out one historical inaccuracy regarding the EBow that was carried over from Wikipedia: 

"One of the first notable users was Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, who used the device on "The Carpet Crawlers" from the band's 1974 album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. (Source: Wikipedia, www.ebow.com)"

The EBow was released at the 1976 NAMM show (source:http://www.ebow.com/faq.php), so Steve obviously could not have used it on The Lamb. Perhaps the author intended to mean that Steve used it on later live versions of the song? If so, then I'd say the statement is misleading.

I hope this helps.

Best Regards,
Jamey

PS - If you ever get to Tony's effects, you'll see every site mention the Boss CE-10 Chorus...this should, of course, read Boss CE-1 Chorus.

Excellent information, all, Jamey...

My sincerest and deeptest thanks to you for forwarding on the background (and introduction) of the EBow.  

I am always interested in interactive collecting of every single piece of historic insight and knowledge we can gather - and post on my site (if not always within the time-finite versions of my filmed videos).
Upon receiving your info - I went back to my YouTube video and added a more "open" phrase to the visual graphic notation I put up on the screen (above Francois Gagnon's own EBow..which he had lying on TMB's borrowed EMS unit.)
It may very well have been (as one of my other subscribers pointed out) - that Steve started to use it on the tours Genesis did in '76 & '77..specifically, on some of the older tunes like "Carpet Crawlers" - and this might have led to the confusion of the fellow who posted that on the Wikipedia page.
I found out about the EBow (which ultimately became a favorite toy of Steve's - during that later 1970's period ) thanks to an e-letter from one of my more stalwart (and knowledgable) YouTube subscribers.

Just when it seems I've unlocked all of the secret mysteries of Steve Hackett's "Magical Guitar and FX" box...there emerges yet another tale of technological & artistic wizardry to be investigated!  *appreciative laugh, still totally in awe of the man!* 

All my best,

xo 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!!
