Genesis’ The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway was a complex double album with a troubled gestation. The accompanying concerts of 1974-5 were intended to be a theatrical tour de force. The entire enterprise would have proved challenging as it was – but then Peter Gabriel handed in his notice a few dates into the tour.
In a mixture of new and archive interviews with key players and associates, as well as on-the-record information, this is the story of the ambitious tour in support of the band’s sometimes bewildering but hugely influential sixth record.
