For Fanatical Lamb Fans ONLY! 
(Many videos re-edited with Non-Linear audio clips and rare, historic pictures of The Lamb!) 

An side-by-side comparison & insightful look into the re-tracking of the Gabriel-era Genesis live performance at L.A.'s Shrine Auditorium, in 1975 - for the 1998 Archive 1 collection release.
This video series delineates how Genesis' editing guru - Nick Davis - collaborated with Peter Gabriel & his Real World Studios to fly-in partial-phrase replacements - utilizing the internal memory of a Sony 3348 Digital Tape deck (in an era just prior to the widespread advent of ProTools DAW computer-editing systems). Incredibly difficult and painstaking work - at The Farm, in Surrey.  These newer vocal tracks were integrated into the ONLY multi-track recording made of The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour. PG had partial laryngitis (his lower register), Steve Hackett was recovering from a severed, surgically re-attached tendon, in his left hand..so both re-tracked some their work, for the release of this "Live" recording.    For Gabriel, this represented nearly 80% of his vocals - which Nick Davis  expertly "sewed in" the 47-year-old voice into the already existing Live audio envelope, created in 1975 at the Shrine.  Really impressive editing project...not to mention PG's challenge to sing in the same key/emotional range as his 25-yr-old self !
This analysis series is meant to show WHY he decided to re-track his vocal parts (due to the laryngitis)..and how it was meant to be the only way he & Genesis could give us fans a "Lamb Reunion", of a kind.   It is for NON-COMMERCIAL and EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY!

Analysis:  Cinema Show / Tony Banks  
(Repair for Live Box Set - 2007 / Rainbow Theatre - 1973)

A side-by side comparison of the Nick Davis-directed Tony Banks fly-in keyboard repairs on his live "Cinema Show" solo for the restored live Rainbow Theatre concert of 1973 (included on the Extras disk of Genesis' Live Box set 1973-2007).
Nick divulges (via personal e-mail exchange) how the 57-year-old Tony Banks attempted to play the ultra-fast fingering (of his 25-year-old self's speed, during a very exciting live performance)...but, could not keep up with himself on his trusty old  ARP Pro-Soloist .
After a full day of attempts to duplicate the original speed   ~ Nick finally had Tony play down an octave and more slowly, then sped the recording up (via ProTools Elastic Pitch feature), in order to match up & marry the samples - perfectly!This is a NON-commercial, educational video - presented as a historical documentary of the restoration process by the group and its extraordinarily talented sound engineer/archivist.
      


Analysis:  Rainbow Theatre Repairs / Genesis' Nick Davis

Picture
This NON-commercial, educational video is an examination of the magnificent restoration of the historic Rainbow Theatre 1973 concert.
Direct information from Genesis' editing Guru Nick Davis provides the foundation for this technical investigation into the painstaking, labor-intensive multi-year project of restoring the original and rare multi-track recordings of "The Lamb" and "The Rainbow"
Mr. Davis reveals how he deftly flew-in the required "repairs" from other Live performances, studio vocal, guitar and keyboard pick-ups and original album studio master tracks - at The Farm in Surrey.
Again, this is NOT an infomercial - rather an intensive fan video created by an admiring broadcast sound engineer (on her home Mac laptop's iMovie program - as evidenced by all the video glitches! LOL).

*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!!
