Yeah "The Lamb" was something totally different than "Selling England By The Pound" and "Trick Of The Tail" it's like Peter teleported late 70's/ early 80's post punk from the future into that one double album in 1974. And nobody else in Genesis knew what was happening.

I think Peter lost a lot more... no keyboards, guitars or drums Peter put forward were ever progressive again... except a couple of tunes on his first album. No melodic rhythm changes anymore, no amazing guitar or drums or keyboards again. He wanted to be a center when once he was part of a greater. Peter never even tried to be produce complex music that could speak independently of his lyrics anymore. But it was what he wanted. But it was not even close to anything he ever did with the boys at his side. Not even close to close.

Genesis hadn't yet made it to arenas when Gabriel was in the band. Lamb was performed in theaters.

What a brilliant version of the 'Lamb' by Peter. So much attitude! This brings back memories of when I saw Peter perform this song at Hammersmith Odeon, London, around this time and I recall him swinging the microphone stand around and hitting Tony Levin on the head by accident! This drew blood, but Tony, Peter and the band carried like the true professionals they are. This was the first of many times that I saw Peter live. Great memories!

What's really amazing, is how unusual this song was for Peter's solo career. Unlike most people who leave a popular group and move on to a solo career, Peter built his career on a complete split with his past and not playing music from his time in Genesis, but entirely of post Genesis works. Yet, also was able to reach the level of popularity but still being different, not a pop rock musician but someone who ended up very popular, with well known songs without selling out his musical roots.

The best thing to ever happen to Genesis and Peter Gabriel was their parting of ways. They both got bigger and improved after they separated. Peter Gabriel always had a highly theatrical flair for his music, especially in his live performances. His performances were not confined to his music playing and singing; he added drama, stage presence, acting, costumes, props, lighting, and visual effects. This man is an actor, director, singer, and musician on the stage, and live performance on stage is his forte.

Saw this tour...fabulous.

Peter Gabriel, the man who gave Genesis the character of a super progressive rock group. His unmistakable voice won me over from the Foxtrot album, then through the great Selling England by the Pound and then The Lamb .... When Phill Collins took the voice, he sent the group to Pop. He commercialized it to the degree that I stopped following them. I was left with Gabriel's voice in my mind. The true Genesis was and will be with the man Peter Gabriel.

Some examples are how banks decided to not put the song "do the neurotic" in the invisible touch album because "it sounded too much like old genesis" or how collins wanted to play the whole supper's ready song in the invisible touch tour but banks thought it was a bad idea. So yeah it wasn't collins fault, and honestly you just have to listen to the lamb album to realize that the natural course was towards simpler songs, with or without peter.
