Hairless Heart...

Comment From Mark ~
Hi! 
I just stumbled upon your site and videos while searching for videos of people playing "Hairless Heart", which I had just learned to play last night, and noticed that many people play it differently. 
Anyway, I love your work! 
I need to dig out my Archives Vol. 1 and listen again. I had no idea so much of it was redone. 
Also, just saw "The Musical Box" roll through my town this week.
 Great show, if you get a chance to see it. I was particularly impressed with the guitar effect setup. 
It seemed to be all 1974 vintage accurate: giant electro-mechanical echo boxes and a lengthy array of foot pedals. 
Surely they were only props, right? I can't imagine somebody actually maintaining that mess night after night. 
Thanks for your insight. 
Cheers!

Hi, Mark !
Hey, I was traveling to L.A. and Phoenix when you originally wrote in to my blog (which I truly appreciate, thank you! *beaming look*) - to see my first TMB LLDOB shows....
While in Phoenix, I was (obviously) treated to a timely and most excellent interview with TMB's musical director - Sebastien Lamothe - who also gave me a tour of the vintage instruments, on stage.
It was not only impressive...it was fascinating!
Given that I had already read a great deal of information about the original tour - and a lot of references to the musical instruments *info source: Dr. Kevin Holm-Hudson's extraordinary "Genesis and the Lamb Lies Down on Broadway"* - I got to finally have the chance to visually marry the written description - with the near-actual, period piece item.  Serge Morissette did an awe-inspiring job with the exacting historical research, in re-building the original staging - even down to the "heavily-muffled" kick-drum they allowed Peter to use, up on one of the risers!  *agog look*
I am currently working very, very hard on editing down all the footage my crew and I captured in the gorgeously-restored Orpheum Theatre, in Phoenix.  
I wish I could say that the footage I shot on the stage was perfect and steady (it was not..since my cameraman was running late for the soundcheck... & I had to shoot it with my hand-held HD Flipvideo camera. I must confess I was so excited to see all the individual musician's set-ups.   But, it is what it is ...and I will do my best to stabilize, stabilize, stabilize through the edit process.*shrug then smile* 
I wanted to say that - because you mentioned "Steve's" foot-pedal set-up...and I MADE SURE to film extreme close-ups of it (and some other really nifty stuff that most people were not even aware was being used, up on stage, designed by Genesis.)

I only ask your patience in my getting the next several installments of the Analysis: TMB vids edited and up on YouTube & Vimeo.  (Hopefully, you've been able to see the already posted "TMB Part 1" ?  *hopeful look*)

Thank you so very much for writing to me...and, even more, for waiting so long for this earnest reply.  
All my best, always....
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!!
