Hi Lileigh,
Just thought I would drop you a line to say hello, and congratulate you on your presentations on youtube of my favorite all time band Genesis! 
I live in New Zealand, but I have family in Manchester, England, and timed a trip over to Manchester to visit my Mum, Brother, and family in 2007,, and went to see my favorite band at my favorite stadium, (Old Trafford), on 07/07/07! 
It was an amazing concert, with a very vocal crowd, and it was great to hear Phil belt out a few of the "older" Genesis songs,and the whole band sounded just awesome! 
A once in a lifetime experience for me especially since I live so far away!
Keep up your excellent work, looking at your resume you are a pretty amazing lady!

All the best,
Steve

Hi, Steve ~
To have been able to catch Genesis during their very last concert tour - a famed, singular Reunion Tour, at that - in Old Trafford must have been a gift-beyond-price to a fellow fanatical fan such as yourself, m'dear!  (I am most envious - as I had to miss that final run of theirs..for reasons I cannot divulge.)
But, in hearing all my devoted Phil, Tony & Mike-following friends and seeing it on video...it was visually F-A-N-T-A-S-T-I-C, it seems.
I envy all who got to witness the last vestiges of the original crew...and am pleased they were able to get it all together despite the fact that Peter pulled out of the original concept of touring The Lamb with them (discussed in 2004).
I'm so sorry that Phil has officially retired - being in such physical pain, still, due to his degenerative nerve problems.  What a key individual and musician he was to keep on trying to physically meet the demands of the gig - during that time!

On another note,  you are very, very kind to compliment me on all my life's accomplishments ...or even to have read them, at all !  *pleased blush*   
 In addition to being an early-Genesis-loving audio engineer, director & on-air talent...it is true that I am a degreed meteorologist & FAA commercially-rated helicopter pilot (though now retired).
Some folks would say "Renaissance Woman"....
I'd say "someone who had too much time on their hands and who was the runt-of-the-litter of a seriously over-achieving family !!"  LOLOLOL
Anyway (pun absolutely intended),  I truly appreciate both your lovely words..and the time it took to cyber-pen them to me!
Hoping you and yours have the happiest of holidays,

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!!
