Hi ~

I am so happy to have found your site here today, 
I grew up in Ny /Nj during the 70's and went to every Genesis show during those wonderful years. 
Seeing clips and footage from those shows on You Tube these days is such a great treat for me, it just brings everything right back , it's wonderful really.

And finding your analysis videos today, well , I just love them !

Very well done, I have been glued to them all day really.

It is great to find things like this, to find people who share my love of this music that has been such a huge part of my whole life ..this music is the soundtrack of my life . 

I moved from New York to Denver in 2009 and saw Peter last Sept at 
Red Rocks out here in Colorado..he sounds soooo great still. 
Well, I just wanted to say hello and let you know how much I enjoy about everything on your web site ! 
Thank for sharing these videos, Lileigh !

It is a pleasure to "meet" you , Patrick...and know that you were likely at many of the same early Genesis concerts I attended, in the NY area, as well.
WNEW-FM ruled, in those days, didn't it?   Alison Steele, Scott Muny and the rest.
If it wasn't for them bringing us all that mind-blowingly creative Prog (and AOR) Rock n Roll...I don't know where we would have ended up, I swear!  *humble guffaw*


Well, I am just glad you were able to see Peter's "So" Back-to-Front Tour when it hit the States, last year.
(After touring with the New Blood Orchestra, the year prior, I must say he was vocally READY for the 25th Anniversary of "So" live, in front of audiences! ;-)
You take care up there, in Denver...mighty cold, snowy weather hitting us all out here, in the West!  Brrr....


(Maybe it's time to crawl into our communal *cuckoo* Cocoon !)


Xoxo, Lil

P.S. - I hope you were able to take in Peter and Sting's recent combined tour, too.  It was great to see them together again! :-)

*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!!
