No such thing as an accident....

Hi Lil,

Ok.....I stumbled upon this website by pure accident. They say there are no such things as accidents.

I have been a Genesis fan since 1973. I was lucky at a young age of 15 to catch all the shows with Peter in NYC at the Academy of Music. I still have the original Lamb playbill in plastic that was handed out back in 12/74.

Your site is amazing!!!
I have seen all of Peter's shows since his very first solo album. I was lucky to meet him and the band on their very first live performance of the first LP. That was at the Capital Theater in Passaic NJ in 1977.

I still love Peter's music and Steve Hackett's beautiful solo albums.
I have also caught every Steve Hackett solo performance in the NY area and met him many times through the years.

Your videos are inspiring and so detailed. I have found a Genesis fan unmatched. LOL.

Sincerely,
Michael

Lil smiles..and responds: "With such warm praises...and from such a truly experienced early-Genesis concert-goer as yourself - I am truly humbled! Thank you, dearest Michael! Xoxo, Lil

*FOR SERIOUS LAMB FANATICS ONLY !!!*

An 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!!
