One of the best moments in genesis is where the wall of sound comes in, Tony Banks even said it was one of the best things they'd done. My favourite album ever - we love you, Steve!
@@jonnykhatru .. I am fully aware of that Jonny, my point being the contrast of Tony's statements regarding his least favorite period with the band resulting in their "finest moments"
1. This song is incredible from top to bottom... lyrically, musically... and that guitar!!!!!! 2. Steve Hackett is so generous in his praise of others. He's such a good dude.
Never shy in praising his bandmates, says so much about him. And of course. all of them speak so kindly of each other, one of the main reasons I love them so.
Those slower than triplets "Triplets" by Phil Collins at 1:14 almost gave me a hear attack when I 1st heard it; (20 years after it came out; it was 1994 for me) I thought I was getting a live noise complaint. I love how you talk about composers I'm not even familiar with but I've hear the name, although I cannot claim to be that surprised, with your love of Bach (Baroque) and Ravel (Late Romantic/Early Modern). THANK YOU Steve Hackett
When Steve said they were thinking of Egypt....it took me to a place I go with heavy orchestral music such as "In that Quiet Earth". It's a heaviness that stirs the soul and tells of another plane...another time. I saw them at the LA Sports Arena in 77' and In that Quiet Earth (with a little help from LSD) pounded my heart and soul. Still the heaviest orchestral composition I've ever heard.
Used to crank this on my Dad's old JBL's at parties in the late 70's. Dimmed the lights down and people were mesmerized... The instruments are hauntingly beautiful and the drums rock ala Bonham...
Hello Steve, thank you to tell us some views on these nice songs, so far what i miss from you is to get details on the arpeggios performed on some of them like ripples, entangled, suppers ready ... etc... would you mind to show us , your filmed concerts are not centered on your magical guitar ! Cheers and take care
Thanks again Steve. Really enjoy your insights into the songs and interesting , well i was going to say trivia but it's more than that. We all love this music too much too call it trivia. Thanks again. Be well and stay safe.
A popular musician up here in Toronto named his first born son Rael after this album. Great kid and he too worships this masterpiece. My favorite track - IT
When your guitar enters,i get chills. Fly on windshields whit the lamia are song that are unlikely to come out of my heart.Ihave a photo together in naples on 16 3 2014.STEVE,YOU ARE THE BEST.
Escucho esta parte y me recuerda al interludio de In the quiet Earth del disco Wind & Wuthering, a furia de la guitarra habla por si sola. The Lamb es una obra de arte en todo los sentidos musicales. Viva Genesis por siempre. Gracias Sr. Hackett por mantener viva la llama de la verdadera era de Genesis. Gracias.
Great seeing it performed in NYC in Dec ‘74. Unfortunately, the album came out a couple of weeks earlier, hadn’t picked it up yet, and knew only The Musical Box encore, but what a fantastic theatrical performance. Of course, I picked it up the next day and still play it often.
LLDOB was an album ahead of its time. It was pro-to New Wave and inspired bands like Simple Minds (when they were good.). Gabriel was and is a visionary and one of the true greats of the past fifty years. `The band were at their creative peek at this time , even as they teetered on the edge of fracturing. Steve Hackett is and was a unique player who adorned the music with haunting lines of sustain that are creepy as hell and beautiful as anything imaginable.
Steve. You have always been one of my very favorite guitar players from way back in the 70s since I saw you at the Southampton Gaumont and bought NC and Foxtrot. Apart from your monumental talent, I also find your playing pretty difficult to replicate. It's very easy to sound a little like Eric Clapton and play the odd blues solo, but the way your guitar parts sit so intricately within the arrangements makes it ever more challenging. There are very few guitar players within the rock world who consider themselves as part of the band as a whole rather than taking a very individualistic approach. Let's not beat around the bush, you can take the spotlight at times and when you do there is always a real purpose to it. For example, the gorgeous flowing guitar section on Cinema show. It's not a guitar solo, but a beautiful uplifting, perfectly constructed section of the song. Genesis were (and still are) a formidable band, no matter which iteration , and the incredibly memorable musical passages that you and Tony (and Mike of course) will stay with us forever. My only complaint is I have just found out your show at the Anvil in Sept 2021 is sold out! Having seen you last time there, I'm gutted!
So many things I love about this track but one thing I will call out is Phil's drumming, the way he frames the music and complements the transitions is outstanding!
The drum patterns as you go up to the major just before Peter drops in with the vocal gives me goosebumps every time. one of my favourite Genesis moments. Love that you're keeping this music very much alive and relevant. PS Any chance of Nürnberg in your tour schedule?
I'm from Rome and what you stated about Respighi's influence on this beautiful pearl of '74 delights me, as I've always thought the same!! Thank you Steve, you're great!!
One of my faviorte songs off the Lamb. Many times I would skip the first track on the LP and start with Fly on the wind shield. Saw Steve play Fly live twice. He takes the atomsipheric solo to a new level. Loved it.
Absolutely tremendous. The drop from Peter’s vocal is still, after 45 years, fresh and powerful. Did not know it was “live” but it makes sense. There is an extraordinary feel and atmosphere in the instrumental section which is enhanced by Phil’s spot on drum fills from about 1.39 onward. Then Peter’s voice crashes in with that wonderful and evocative imagery continuing where the title track left off. Extraordinarily powerful. As an aside, the mood which the band builds on those first three tracks is absolutely remarkable - they were absolute masters of mood and atmosphere. Lastly, Right from the opening of the album Phil delivers a masterclass, an absolute masterclass in drumming.
Phil doesn’t get enough love for his drumming in the early days, older Genesis fans still stick pins in his effigy to this day, blaming him for what Genesis ended up being in the latter years. I say fuck em because the man is a living legend. In honour I’ve made my profile pic a spliff making Phil at headley grange circa early 75 lol.
I drop my hat to you Steve. It is very unusual and very desirable to have an analysis of a track commented by the people who made the track themselves. More info ? so much the better !
I vividly remember this song, with its famous wall of sound moment blasting at me in The Music Hall in Boston. And the wild visuals on the screen behind the band. And Rutherford’s billowy white bell bottoms. About 46 years ago....geez I’m getting old.
Thank you very much for those little video capsule. It's so great that you still play those legendary song live with your band. Keeping these masterpieces alive. cheers from Québec !
I agree with Steve when he says it's powerful and very magical. These are the types of sounds that can put the average man or woman into a state of hypnotic bliss. ..without injesting ANYTHING but the soundwaves! Now THAT is powerful. Thanks for these much loved videos, Mr. Hackett. Cheers everyone!
I've been listening to this track since I was 15 (I'm 60 now) and it still gives me goosebumps - we owe such a debt to these wonderful musicians, for giving us a lifetime of listening pleasure.
I felt out of my shoes as I heard it the first time live, by the way I like very much life concerts, and you had also something marvelous and mystery and dramatic in the sound.
Wore out my Walkman, constant repeat, sitting on the rocks next to the river in the Big Sur gorge in 1984 after my best friend then had turned me on to Lamb. Something in your subtle phrasing and tone grasped my imagination and never let go. Such an expansive composition. Hats off to Steve forever...
The guitar within Genesis was never the same when you left Steve, you added that atmosphere and tension with your guitar work, always done so well, some heavy some beautiful delicate stuff, a brilliant guitarist, i have all your solo stuff, The Steppes amazing , mind you all of it is fantastic, i love those sustainer Fernandes guitars,
Love this one!! It's my birthday today 🥰 Thank you for uploading a song chat today. It feels very special for me since I've followed this series for a few weeks by now. 🙏🏻
Steve, thanks so much for reliving the past for us. You’re probably bored out of your mind playing and talking about this. We appreciate it though. Love seeing you live. Come back to Cleveland soon!
I still listen to the Lamb after all these years.Never fails to surprise. God willing Seconds Out with your good self in Scunthorpe in November and Tony, Mike and Phil in Leeds December. Thanks for the wonderful insights.
Thank you for your inputs. Sorry I missed your Allentown show. Had I known of our current issues, I would have not missed it. Best wishes always. Thank you for all you have done.
I saw this live when the band performed at the old Syria Mosque...I think tickets were maybe 10 dollars for first balcony seats. We went in with the story draped over eacn and every seat in the Mosque. The album had not yet been released...at least it hadn't hit the record stored in Pittsburgh, PA. Dramatic opening of course and then when "Fly on a Windshield" kicked in... What a night.
The instrumental section reminds me of The Steppes from Steve Hackett's Defector. And, talking about instrumental songs Mr Hackett, can you please play The Waiting Room live one of these days? Thank you so very much.
One of the best tracks on The Lamb, so thanks Steve for your insightful thoughts on this. I'd love to hear you talk about another great track on the album, The Supernatural Anaesthetist. A song that never seems to get the recognition it deserves.
It is so cool to hear your analysis of these songs Steve. It puts us in your shoes, what is like to hear the musicians experience during these epoch songs
On the Genesis ARKIVE box-set,The entire Lamb album is presented LIVE and the audio is amazing. Whomever was the engineer that recorded the concert did a very very good job. The Lamb was and still is my favorite Genesis album and to discover the LIVE version was a real treat. and also the 5.1 version in another Genesis box set (the green one) is incredible...lol
You can absolutely hear the lyrics conjuring the word images off of the music and visa versa I'd guess. Peter had a way of punctuating and particularizing his diction to make the word images stick probably better than any other vocalist I've heard up to this point in my 60 years :-)) [young punk eh?] lol Love everything about that piece. It is haunting before we ever splat on the ghost windshield of fantastic New York ghosts. Love this album. Fabulous choice of melodic execution and phrasing Steve. You're work thourghout those years was stellar. You always remind me of making choices Debussy would make when you do counter melodic lines, melodic top lines... you play in colour. That entire line up had magic chemistry that I know you get and good on you for bringing these works back out on the road. Very much the Mozart and Beethoven, Debussy music of a gifted era for me as a budding musical person who was spoiled by what you did and still do! Please feel good about these fantastic performances. I think Mike and Pete get it not sure that Phil can get over the hurdles to being in an audience headspace so he can appreciate it from that necessary distance you need for appreciation. Thanks man! So wonderful to hear it performed by one of the originators of the music and so faithfully and engaging as you do! Fabulous! Thank you again!
Amazing powerful song! I love how once the wall drops it explodes, then eventually comes back to some sort of normalcy. It does with music , exactly what the story is saying with words. Perfect ! Well done maestro! Thanks Steve
Interesting new information. Thanks for that. I just know "Lamb" was one of my favorite cassettes when I lived in Greensboro in the mid-1990s. Just loved the whole package. Story, music, playing, lyrics, singing, everything brings back a fond memory.
Yes Steve, one of my very best favorites too. You said it all, the power, the super strong beat, the chord changes break any criticism of it being repetitive and the guitar still comes through crisp and clear. Loved your S.E.B.T.P. show when your band played in Minneapolis in 2019.
Sorry you were soeaking- yes Steve it has that amazing mix of emotional concern, that powerfully brings a sort of saving.. action pact, and exciting- steals you away- but its what I love about your music'- every song has its own finger print, and purely of its own one of a kind adventure- a fly on a windshield- and .. ohhh what have you done- sweet sweet sweet .. great song
Thanks for this clips Mr Hackett , makes this isolation time easier , thanks for the beautiful music you guy did during those magical years the big 5 line up was together
At 1:15 there's a downward run on the guitar that's very Steve. I think it crops up in one of his solo tunes, but I can't remember which one at the moment. Will try and track it down... Found it. It's in 'The Steppes', at 1:23, from his brilliant Reading 1981 gig.
My Favorite Genesis album! I just love how it flows so well, with huge explosions of sound and the power of Pete's voice is extraordinary! Fly is such a great song, and has so much to give! From fly flowing to counting out time is just epic! So many good moments!
One of the best moments in genesis is where the wall of sound comes in, Tony Banks even said it was one of the best things they'd done. My favourite album ever - we love you, Steve!
@James Fowler. You beat me to it on the bit about Tony Banks saying that he thought it was one of the band's finest moments. He's right too.
Which is amazing considering Tony also said that The Lamb was his least favorite period of all of his time with the group
Odin all the band agrees it was a difficult time but that it produced a lot of excellent music.
@@jonnykhatru .. I am fully aware of that Jonny, my point being the contrast of Tony's statements regarding his least favorite period with the band resulting in their "finest moments"

Out of the whole Genesis catalogue, one of my favourite songs
Thanks Steve. These atmospheric interludes are some of the best pieces by Genesis.
The sound that comes in after Pete is just awesome, this song still sends a shiver down my spine to this day. Thanks as always Steve you Legend!
ruclips.net/video/mY6havo8oaQ/видео.html
Amazing piece of music without a doubt. It does have an Egyptian, Middle Eastern flavour indeed.

Fly on a Windshield has been a favorite of mine.

An outstanding track on an outstanding track the change of tempo is truly fantastic
I worshipped that album when I first heard it...when I was 17 years old in 1981...I still love it!
Steve was always head and shoulders above the competition with his exotic scales, while so many players were stuck in pentatonic sameness.
Lamb people, you know who you are. Thanks Steve.
I LOVE THIS SONG! Everything flows beautifully into the next piece on this album. The interlude between this, and "Cuckoo Cacoon" is mesmerizing.

This plus Broadway Melody straight after is the most magical part of the Lamb for me. Note how complimentary Steve always is about Tony's work.
