This group of musicians should be very proud. The music they recreate is some of the most difficult. Every person in these comments have nothing but great things to say about these guys. I am probably the greatest fan of this group. and the group before them. I do not consider them a cover band. I consider them the 2nd coming of Genesis. I saw them the first time in Buffalo N.Y. at a little place called the Century Theatre. Long before they were known in the mainstream. I was blown away then, and thanks to these guys I am blown away again 55 years later. Can't wait to see Selling England by The Pound in June of 24.........In a little place called The Riviera Theatre. In Tonawanda N, Y. By the way, still following Genesis and all their solo stuff. They deserve it. Thanks for listening.
I am not into tribute bands but I thought i'd go and see this band since i love genesis and wasn't even born yet when this album came out. So I saw their performance of this show last Thursday in Fredericton. I can tell you they were absolutely mindblowing. Loved it! If I had a chance I'd go again. And again. And again. Those guys are really amazing.
I was around then, had just gone into USAF tech school. I just missed seeing them tour the Lamb. I did get to see the Musical Box a few years ago perform Selling England. That being said, the Lamb never really clicked with me. Maybe it just reminds me of a ‘not so good’ time in my life. Oh well!
I saw Genesis on their Lamb tour in Boston back in 1974, and this is absolutely amazing. They seem to have gotten every detail right. I remember PG with the exact clothing as shown by the vocalist here Michael wore all white.. I remember the 3 screen slide show. They even nailed the part the when slide show displays the image of Jimi Hendrix when Pete sang " I need someone to believe in someone to trust." in the song Chamber of 32 Doors. And most important the music itself as well cant forget to mention that.
I remember hearing about these guys on radio commercials every time they came to my hometown, since i was 11 years old.. I'm now 45.. They were extremely popular here in Montreal , Quebec. Canada..
On a fait juste 2 fins de semaine au Soda, a l'ete 1993, Le meme automne on était rendus au Spectrum pis on est jamais revenus au Club. Quelques années plus tard le Soda est déménagé sur St-Laurent. Je sais pas si la salle existe encore, c'était au 2ième étage pas loin en face du Kentucky, coin Fairmount je pense. J'ai quitté Montreal en 2002, c'est loin un peu. C'est quoi Rhytmista, es tu musicien?
@Emmett Temple I don't think The Musical Box would oppose to being called a copy. And there is nothing wrong with them being a copy, because they are a LIVE BAND. They are a LIVE TRIBUTE BAND that is just trying to give the most accurate and closest performances, so people can still almost experience a Genesis concert in these current days. This Genesis that The Musical Box is presenting died wayyyyy long ago, and they're reviving it. And that's why your "Just listen to the original" comment makes no sense, we cannot go today to a show of the original Genesis, or even watch a full original live recording of an album like this.
@@AlbumSea I have read where Genesis not only supports what Musical Box is doing, but gives them info on the costumes and, for the Lamb shows, gave them the slides from the original tour
RayNDeere yep, 3000 slides were given, some were damaged from poor storage and had to be restored, I think the lamia spinning screen was the original one as well, not sure about the slipperman costume though.
Really weird, saw them last night and I was absolutely blown away by the bit I used to find hard on the lp....the waiting room was simply INCREDIBLE live
I saw them in 2005 in Santiago, it was a life change experience, for me they are by far the best. One thing is to play this music, other it's yo create magic and misticism, they managed all with maestry.
This tour was outstanding. Like stepping into a time machine and going back 40 years. I really wish they'd do The Lamb again. What an amazing show. Extremely talented to be able to recreate this era so well.
Possibly the single most important video document on RUclips. Since Genesis never released a film of the concert, this incredible tribute will stand as the best representation of the groundbreaking theatrical and musical performance. Bravo!!
But for fuck's sake - don't complain! This masterful piece of music represents possibly the finest hour of the prog era - and here we have an ambitious bunch doing their best to recreate what Genesis themselves never bothered to properly document. We shall therefore be eternally grateful for what The Muscial box has done!
I was too young to see Genesis when they toured the Lamb and by the time I was old enough to see them (16 years old in 1979), PG and Hackett were gone, the albums had suffered, and I didn't want to see Genesis anymore. To this day I have never seen Genesis. I saw Peter Gabriel in 1982 (amazing) and in 1986 (also amazing.) And I was lucky enough to see MB for their Lamb show when they toured it last. I talked to people who had see the original Genesis Lamb tour and they said MB's show was a perfect and immaculate recreation and were both moved and impressed. I know I was.
I'm so grateful this band exists. I'm 50. So by the time I was allowed to go to a concert was 1981. I saw Genesis in Buffalo. But by then, Gabriel and Hackett were gone. As a keyboard player, I loved Duke, Abacab, and Mama. But then I started going back.... To "And then there were three," " A Trick of a tail," and ", Lamb.". Each record going back was better than the next. The point is, I was too young to have seen the Lamb tour, so this is the best thing I've got! Thank you for doing this and keeping this music alive. I am so grateful for the opportunity to hear this live even if it isn't the original band.
Very similar story here as well, Kristeve. (Same age, similar intro to the band in 1981 that resulted in exploring their earlier albums, i also play keys...) Got to see TMB last year here in Cincinnati, OH and it really blew me away! (I'd only ever seen Genesis proper on the TIOA tour in 2007.) Have got tickets again for their (currently-postponed) show later this year. If you get a chance to see a TMB show i highly recommend it -- you will not regret it!
Anybody who has any doubts or questions about what TMB was able to accomplish with their performances only needs to know what Tony, Mike, Peter, Phil and Steve have had to say about the shows. All of them have been quoted as thoroughly impressed by what TMB does and every member has seen them perform live. Gabriel has even stated he took his children to see a performance so "they could see what Dad used to do."
I feel the same. I'm 32, and Genesis is my favorite band, so when Lamb came out, I had fourteen years before I was even born, but they finally went to Florida in 2012, and I saw them the night before I graduated college. It was a four-hour drive there and back, and I had to be awake at 6 the next day to graduate, but it was worth it!
I completely agree with your comment, although I'm already 63. Yesterday in BCN, and after several porstponements due to the pandemic, I could finally live "the experience of a life time"
Appena visti a Brescia ....fantastici....meritano sono bravissimi....se uno conosce perfettamente le canzoni non nota alcuna differenza tra il doppio Lp e il concerto stesso.
Just saw the band perform the complete Lamb last night (6/9/22) at The Desplaines Theatre, DesPlaines, Illinois. Wonderful. Encore: Musical Box and Watcher of the Skies. Packed house. Just wonderful. Tonight, they’re at The Arcada Theater, St. Charles, Illinois. Go!
I was them back in September of 2014. They are fantastic. You feel like you have been transported back to a genesis concert in the 70s. Five stars, well worth every penny.
I saw this show back in 2005 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Singer Denis Gagne sounds remarkably like Peter Gabriel and captures many of the ex-Genesis's front man's mannerisms , although obviously he doesn't have the stage presence ,energy or charisma of Gabriel. In the original Lamb tour ,Gabriel displayed much more energy and anger while performing Back In NYC ,as the song demands. A minor point but nonetheless , well done The Musical Box for brilliantly recreating an unforgettable period in Genesis's history,
Dear Musical Box. It was 2005, Toronto, Canada at Massey Hall. I wanna thank you for this. Since I was a little kid I yerned to see Genesis as they were during Peter Gabriel days. I know my gear, as well I know the equipment of years gone by. To see this that evening, I got teary eyed a few tymes, for I couldn't believe what I was witnessing. I also took my girlfriend at the tyme which turned her onto this album big tyme.
I've seen Musical Box twice in Harrisburg, PA. Both times they did "Watcher of the Skies" and "Musical Box". The first tour was "Selling England". When they finished, they asked what they should do for an encore. A lone voice called out "Supper's Ready", much in the way that one would scream "FREEBIRD!" The entire audience exploded in laughter, as did the band. The next concert was the Lamb tour. They had all 1200 slides for the three-screen back-lit display, courteous of Genesis. Not only did they perform Watcher of the Skies and Musical Box, they ended the concert with Supper's Ready. My three daughters, my wife, and my oldest friend were fortunate enough to be there. My oldest friend's older brother once said he'd give his left nut to see The Lamb performed live, but declined my offer to attend. I presume he still has his left nut, but he missed one HELL of a show.
I saw them at the Tower in Upper Darby (first Lamb tour with the slides) I wanted to cry it was so ASTOUNDING, EVERY NOTE, EVERY NUANCE of an album I know like the back of my hand...One of the highlights of my concert going life and I have seen Zappa,Yes, Crimso and Tull in their prime...: ) The follow up show, Foxtrot, blew me away...Seeing Suppers Ready live was like a dream...If your friend only knew what he missed he would cut off his nut in shame...: )
Gail Garza It's nice to know there are so many others that love music as much...Glad to have shared it with you and you understand how profound it was...I feel lucky to have seen it....
Still hard to believe they couldn't have filmed a few and pieced them together. There is no solid pro film of ANY of it? I've only seen 8mm as the best shot from the audience.
I think we don't really realize how little people were interested in these guys back then. I think it would have cost them much more than they ever earned in those early day tours.
saw them in Atlanta ga !!!--took a stroll around back and spoke to the wonderful bass player!!! what a great dude!!!!!!!!!!!-what a great night thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really really wish they would do another tour of The Lamb. This was an experience of a life time, it was like stepping into a time machine and going back 38 years. And while I've only seen other Genesis tribute bands on RUclips, TMB is so spot on, it's amazing!
yes they are still doing this album live, saw them Friday Sept 23 in Oakville Ontario. Second time I've seen them, just amazing what they can do especially TLLDOB.
Yesterday in BCN I had the same experience. After several postponements due to the pandemic, I could finally enjoy the concert that I'had missed being a young boy. Very grateful to the guys of The Musical Box.
I was blessed to have seen Genesis perform The Lamb twice along with 3 other of their tours with Gabriel and Hackett.......have seen Musical Box do Selling England by the Pound...brought me to tears....would love to seen them do The Lamb, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme and Trespass..................
Saw this the first and second time that TMB tried it in 2000 in Montreal. Paul Whitehead was there and I briefly watched it with him. He said it was one on the strangest sensations he had and likened it to a time machine.
One of the best shows I have ever seen in my life! I have been to hundreds of concerts, but their show in San Francisco, better than this one, changed everything! Musical Box are amazing!
As a junior in high school, I was at the show at the Music Hall in Cleveland two days before Thanksgiving in 1974. The most memorable concert of my life. A theatre production seamlessly combined with a musical story.
Sonically spot on tribute. I'm blown away by the singer! Sounds and acts spot on Gabriel circa 75! I'd love to see these guys...I think I'd enjoy it more than I did when I saw the real guys!
In 2006 i was 41 years old and saw this Musical Box show complete in Liege, Belgium at Le Forum for the first time in my life. I think this was near by the original, i've never seen the original Genesis-Tour in 1974/75, sadly i'm too young for this. Many thanks to The Musical Box Crew for this great event.
Really awesome! Been onboard the Genesis train for 3 decades. I’ve never explored G-tribute bands. I’m impressed. The Grateful Dead probably have more tributes out there than any band by far, and the Dark Star Orchestra does complete GD shows dating back to the 60s. They’re so good that every living member of the GD has sat in with them (except Phil Lesh). Happy to see these guys doing Genesis proud! Love ❤️ it!!
I am the keyboardist in one of those many, many Dead cover bands and I am also a huge early Genesis/Peter Gabriel fan. Good to see we’re not as rare as I thought. If you like DSO, check out our RUclips page. Just look up Digging The Dead band and our page automatically comes up. 🙂🙃
@@dropofdewband I will. Cool to see your reply at 4 am pacific time. I keep odd hours! Thanks again and look forward to digging a new GD sound! Peace brother ✌️
Took me back almost 50 years to December 15, 1974, Forum de Montreal. My third and final Genesis concert (never the same without PG), until the Musical Box brought it all back. Bravo!!!
Breathtakingly incredible! Just saw Musical Box for the first time last night at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois. Wow!!!!!! Am now a HUGE fan!!
I was at that same show...2nd row,,,,,Incredible....spellbound.....felt like I did the frist time I saw Genesis live back in the day....love Arcada too!
I was dubious about the concept of a cover band making a living out of performing Genesis, but after seeing this I am absolutely floored. These guys are serious and seriously great! Now if someone could do the same with Be Bop Deluxe, I could die a happy man.
I saw The Musical Box play SEBTP (there were some Foxtrot goodies like Horizons) last November as an early bday present. SO. WORTH. IT. They started with Watcher of the Skies and ended with Supper's Ready. These guys are absolutely amazing. They are spot on. And to do all of these songs in a row with spot on interludes from old shows, wow. As an encore, they played The Knife! A family started headbanging in the aisle, getting close to the stage, and were quickly ushered out.lol
I just saw the musical box perform at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston the other night they performed selling England by the pound.... this is the second time I've seen them the first time they performed lamb lies down on Broadway and like the first time they were brilliant!!!! please if you love old Genesys around the time of Peter Gabriel I urge you to go see this band they re-create genesis like a great conductor re-creates great classical music and an actor re-creates a great role on stage they do it all they do it brilliantly they do it with passion they're fantastic! Go see them I know I will, again and again.... Danni Krash
I've seen them six times - - - - Foxtrot, ESP and Lamb shows it's Amazing they are so great and polished ! It is like going back to 1972-75 !!!! First rate show. : D
I saw The Musical Box do this entire show two years apart in San Francisco. They were absolutely amazing! They're the only band fully licensed by Genesis to bring this show to the masses. They do not disappoint! They even have the original slides from Genesis' tour. They received them from Genesis' archives. Serge becomes Peter Gabriel! Both Phil Collins and Steve Hackett have shown up on stage with them, unfortunately not at the same time.
Thank God the Musical Box gave this performance, I was not born when Genesis were doing the Lamb tour back in 74, this is the closest thing from the original, thanks for uploading the gem!
Just been listening to more parts. Shocked by the noise of the audience during Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats. Did they think it was an interlude ? time to go the bar or to the toilets ?
Was lucky enough to see the real thing at The Academy of Music in NYC Dec ‘74. With The Lamb being released a couple of weeks earlier, the only song I really knew was “The Musical Box” encore, but it didn’t matter because Gabriel’s theatrics and the band were amazing. These guys do such a good job of recreating that show. Just caught the Genesis Extravaganza show in Long Island, NY, and what a great evening of great songs.
The Musical Box operates not only with the blessings of Genesis, but with their support as well. TMB's Lamb shows used the original slides, costumes and sets from the 1975 Genesis Lamb tour. Their recreations of the Foxtrot and Selling England tours also use the original Genesis costumes and sets. Since there is no film or video of the Genesis Lamb, I'm thankful for a group like TMB, because of their commitment to being more Genesis than Genesis ever were....
Luckily I could see them in Santiago, Chile in a most unusual and unexpected visit a few years ago. Their sound and visuals + the original slide set from the original LAMB tour is a real thrill, truly close to the original sound. No wonder GENESIS gave them access to the original material of a band that will never ever happen again and that till today is an essential part of the soundtrack I've carried everywhere since I first heard them back in the mid 70s. Could never and will never be able to see that great magician - Peter Gabriel - with Genesis took prog.rock to a higher level back then. The Musical Box creates a nice sensation of going back in time, respectfully, as it has to be. Thanks for uploading.
Was lucky enough to see this concert as a 16 yr old at The Acadamy of Music, NYC, in Dec '74. Since the album had been released just a couple of weeks before, and not having it yet, it was all new to my ears, and probably the rest of the audience as well. On each chair back was the the story of Rael that is the inner jacket of the double album for us to read. Everyone was looking at it a bit puzzled not knowing what we were in store for. I just remember being blown away by the whole experience. It was quite an undertaking for a still relatively unknown band. Unfortunately, Genesis didn't film this concert tour. Thanks to The Musical Box for being so true to the original work and concert. Just saw these guys perform the Foxtrot and SEBTP tours back to back at Westbury, NY. Fantastic!!
Probably fair to say you would have enjoyed it Trying to read and make sense of the liner notes story waiting for the band to come on, then process and absorb two hours of new music was not easy ( I knew The Musical Box, which they performed as an encore). But what made this show so memorable was Peter Gabriel's voice, his stage performance, the costumes, the talent of the band, and the slide show, It was great theater. So there was an tremendous appreciation of what I was witnessing. Also, it created a wonderful visual memory for me as I got into the album, which I did buy the next day. Been listening to it pretty frequently for almost forty years now. Probably has a bit to do with that show. From a musical standpoint, it was great time to be a teenager!
I have seen The Musical Box do the Foxtrot tour and the the Selling England tour several times each. I never have seen the Lamb tour however. I can say you will not be disappointed by either of those aforementioned tours. Very solid in every respect.
The first time I saw The Musical Box do this entire album in San Francisco, it was flawless (and I DO mean flawless). There were obviously technical bugs with this show you're watching. They had a different keyboardist for that show. The guy who was playing "Tony" the night I saw them was dead-on, and had ALL of the original keyboards, (and he even looked like a Tony clone) - this guy uses modern keyboards and isn't nearly as good as the guy I saw The tempos were all much closer to the studio album and they had a better "Phil," as well. Still, you have to laud this band for putting on this show, night after night as a labor of love. And us fans, of course, eat it up! I wish someone had posted the SF show from the night at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco that I saw.
I've seen the Lamb Show by TMB twice and it was a great feeling. Especially The Waiting Room. Is a great experience when the audience is blinded by the flood light. The live show brings more to the visitor then every video tape can do, sothe publisher did a great work to bring us the feelling of the show by this video works.
Saw this show at the Hammersmith Odeon in 2013, and noticed one Mr S Hackett collecting his ticket at the box office. My brother said to him "I hope you didn't have to pay for those!"
This group of musicians should be very proud. The music they recreate is some of the most difficult. Every person in these comments have nothing but great things to say about these guys.

My story exactly
Never considered tribute but blown away with the band and attention to detail in Newcastle last week
Same here, I can stand cover bands but definitely not the tribute bands wih mimic and dressing, but my love for Genesis is too strong...

the hardest bit is always capturing Peter's vocals. These guys do that quite well.
Well, one of them does. 😊😊

Watched this wonderful and unforgettable Musical Box show in 2005 tripping on shrooms and about 20 feet away from the center of the stage
how did that go?
saw them maybe ten years ago doing older stuff like in your wardrobe, stunning show! :)
Mmmm shrooms.
Best Homer Simpson impression 😅

My god. The Musical Box may be the greatest cover band I've ever seen. They pretty much put me in to 1974-5. Unreal.
Unrael 😂
Lexington Lab Band has them beat. Hands down. Huge catalog. just like the record. unbelievable

Absolutely Marvelous... The vintage line up of Genesis should be very proud of these guys.
this is a music gemstones.
I've seen Musical Box twice in Harrisburg, PA. Both times they did "Watcher of the Skies" and "Musical Box". The first tour was "Selling England". When they finished, they asked what they should do for an encore. A lone voice called out "Supper's Ready", much in the way that one would scream "FREEBIRD!" The entire audience exploded in laughter, as did the band.
The next concert was the Lamb tour. They had all 1200 slides for the three-screen back-lit display, courteous of Genesis. Not only did they perform Watcher of the Skies and Musical Box, they ended the concert with Supper's Ready. My three daughters, my wife, and my oldest friend were fortunate enough to be there. My oldest friend's older brother once said he'd give his left nut to see The Lamb performed live, but declined my offer to attend. I presume he still has his left nut, but he missed one HELL of a show.
I saw them at the Tower in Upper Darby (first Lamb tour with the slides) I wanted to cry it was so ASTOUNDING, EVERY NOTE, EVERY NUANCE of an album I know like the back of my hand...One of the highlights of my concert going life and I have seen Zappa,Yes, Crimso and Tull in their prime...: ) The follow up show, Foxtrot, blew me away...Seeing Suppers Ready live was like a dream...If your friend only knew what he missed he would cut off his nut in shame...: )
godbluffvdgg
I know. It made me want to cry, too. So beautiful!
Gail Garza It's nice to know there are so many others that love music as much...Glad to have shared it with you and you understand how profound it was...I feel lucky to have seen it....
Well...is that what they performed as an encore? lol
To this day I have trouble believing that out of over 100 shows there is no proper film of the Lamb concert in full.
Still hard to believe they couldn't have filmed a few and pieced them together. There is no solid pro film of ANY of it? I've only seen 8mm as the best shot from the audience.
Maybe there is more to that 20-second of In the Cage gathering dust in some warehouse somewhere
One word: copyrights !!
It's utterly unbelievable. What a shame it was never properly recorded.
I think we don't really realize how little people were interested in these guys back then. I think it would have cost them much more than they ever earned in those early day tours.
Genesis will still alive forever. Thanks for the posting.
saw them in Atlanta ga !!!--took a stroll around back and spoke to the wonderful bass player!!! what a great dude!!!!!!!!!!!-what a great night thank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had some great trips to Lamb lies down album. Perfect tripping sounds.
Man, as a lifelong Genesis fan, I have to say this is superb.
I really really wish they would do another tour of The Lamb.
This was an experience of a life time, it was like stepping into a time machine and going back 38 years.
And while I've only seen other Genesis tribute bands on RUclips, TMB is so spot on, it's amazing!
They're doing it right now! Just saw it an hour ago!
@@tonytardrew9171 Saw it Friday night! Holy SMOKES was it GREAT!!!!
yes they are still doing this album live, saw them Friday Sept 23 in Oakville Ontario. Second time I've seen them, just amazing what they can do especially TLLDOB.
Yesterday in BCN I had the same experience. After several postponements due to the pandemic, I could finally enjoy the concert that I'had missed being a young boy. Very grateful to the guys of The Musical Box.
I just it on friday night in Edinburgh. Awesome!
Had the fortune of meeting Denis Gagne (the singer) a little while back. He's absolutely brilliant.
They do an excellent job at doing this album and it’s entirety and Genesis is a great band, and these guys are the next best thing
I was blessed to have seen Genesis perform The Lamb twice along with 3 other of their tours with Gabriel and Hackett.......have seen Musical Box do Selling England by the Pound...brought me to tears....would love to seen them do The Lamb, Foxtrot, Nursery Cryme and Trespass..................
Saw this the first and second time that TMB tried it in 2000 in Montreal. Paul Whitehead was there and I briefly watched it with him. He said it was one on the strangest sensations he had and likened it to a time machine.
One of the best shows I have ever seen in my life! I have been to hundreds of concerts, but their show in San Francisco, better than this one, changed everything! Musical Box are amazing!
I saw this tour in NYC, absolutely incredible. The musical box never fail to impress, they are an absolute must see for any Genesis fan!
As a junior in high school, I was at the show at the Music Hall in Cleveland two days before Thanksgiving in 1974. The most memorable concert of my life. A theatre production seamlessly combined with a musical story.
Sonically spot on tribute. I'm blown away by the singer! Sounds and acts spot on Gabriel circa 75! I'd love to see these guys...I think I'd enjoy it more than I did when I saw the real guys!
In 2006 i was 41 years old and saw this Musical Box show complete in Liege, Belgium at Le Forum for the first time in my life. I think this was near by the original, i've never seen the original Genesis-Tour in 1974/75, sadly i'm too young for this.
Many thanks to The Musical Box Crew for this great event.
This is fantastic ! Incredible tribute band ! Amazing job!
Really awesome! Been onboard the Genesis train for 3 decades. I’ve never explored G-tribute bands. I’m impressed. The Grateful Dead probably have more tributes out there than any band by far, and the Dark Star Orchestra does complete GD shows dating back to the 60s. They’re so good that every living member of the GD has sat in with them (except Phil Lesh).
Happy to see these guys doing Genesis proud! Love ❤️ it!!
I am the keyboardist in one of those many, many Dead cover bands and I am also a huge early Genesis/Peter Gabriel fan. Good to see we’re not as rare as I thought. If you like DSO, check out our RUclips page. Just look up Digging The Dead band and our page automatically comes up. 🙂🙃
@@dropofdewband I will. Cool to see your reply at 4 am pacific time. I keep odd hours! Thanks again and look forward to digging a new GD sound! Peace brother ✌️
Took me back almost 50 years to December 15, 1974, Forum de Montreal. My third and final Genesis concert (never the same without PG), until the Musical Box brought it all back. Bravo!!!
Breathtakingly incredible! Just saw Musical Box for the first time last night at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois. Wow!!!!!! Am now a HUGE fan!!
Gail Garza I assume the show was great. I wanted to see them, but didn't have the time to drive out to St. Charles that day.
I was at that same show...2nd row,,,,,Incredible....spellbound.....felt like I did the frist time I saw Genesis live back in the day....love Arcada too!
I'll be there, same theatre, march 2018 for 1st time. Was only 14 when this was originally toured.
I was dubious about the concept of a cover band making a living out of performing Genesis, but after seeing this I am absolutely floored. These guys are serious and seriously great! Now if someone could do the same with Be Bop Deluxe, I could die a happy man.
I seen Be-Bop-Deluxe twice they were excellent both times ! I wasn't telling you to rub it in , I'm just saying ? lol
Quel plaisir de voir en concert un album que j'écoutais en boucle il y a 43 ans
This is Incredible. Thank You So Much.
Wow. Incredible. Hats off to The Musical Box. :)
I saw The Musical Box play SEBTP (there were some Foxtrot goodies like Horizons) last November as an early bday present. SO. WORTH. IT. They started with Watcher of the Skies and ended with Supper's Ready.
These guys are absolutely amazing. They are spot on. And to do all of these songs in a row with spot on interludes from old shows, wow.
As an encore, they played The Knife!
A family started headbanging in the aisle, getting close to the stage, and were quickly ushered out.lol
i seen them do this at the Riverside Theatre in Milwaukee, Wi. ..,....it was the closest i'll ever get to seeing the rael thing..MAGNIFIcENt........
I just saw the musical box perform at the Wilbur Theatre in Boston the other night they performed selling England by the pound.... this is the second time I've seen them the first time they performed lamb lies down on Broadway and like the first time they were brilliant!!!! please if you love old Genesys around the time of Peter Gabriel I urge you to go see this band they re-create genesis like a great conductor re-creates great classical music and an actor re-creates a great role on stage they do it all they do it brilliantly they do it with passion they're fantastic! Go see them I know I will, again and again.... Danni Krash
I've seen them six times - - - - Foxtrot, ESP and Lamb shows it's Amazing they are so great and polished ! It is like going back to 1972-75 !!!! First rate show. : D
Seen Musical Box doing the Lamb show three times....they were brilliant
Saw this last night in Norwalk, Connecticut...just lovely
Seen this show but didn't remember to much from it lol,thanks for posting this brings back great memories from this show.
Saw this entire show at the Keswick Theater in Glenside Pa. near Philadelphia... I was blown away since I missed Genesis do this show back in 74!!!
cool project - love your passion!
I saw The Musical Box do this entire show two years apart in San Francisco. They were absolutely amazing! They're the only band fully licensed by Genesis to bring this show to the masses. They do not disappoint!
They even have the original slides from Genesis' tour. They received them from Genesis' archives. Serge becomes Peter Gabriel! Both Phil Collins and Steve Hackett have shown up on stage with them, unfortunately not at the same time.
Yup been lucky to have seen them at least 15 times
This band is absolutely incredible, I only hope to see them one day. Amazing. Thanks for posting this so many years ago...
Just saw them in Waterloo in Apr 25/23...they also did the Lamb tour...fantastic !
Thank you Matteobraso! best I have seen yet! not bad on the sound considering the Decade.
+Pat Flathman fooled me til the close up! ha.
Thank God the Musical Box gave this performance, I was not born when Genesis were doing the Lamb tour back in 74, this is the closest thing from the original, thanks for uploading the gem!
The pianist did a great job : all those notes with the good sounds!!
saw them 2 times in LA ,great job
The transition at 28:27 both with the music and slides is absolutely incredible.
What an astounding job Matteo Bratto !! Gold Medal for you !! Thank you... Seen this TMB tour 3 times.
Just been listening to more parts. Shocked by the noise of the audience during Silent Sorrow in Empty Boats. Did they think it was an interlude ? time to go the bar or to the toilets ?
Nice cover of The Lamb. Bass petals right on.
Copainization I want some bass pedals :(
A flower !
Was lucky enough to see the real thing at The Academy of Music in NYC Dec ‘74. With The Lamb being released a couple of weeks earlier, the only song I really knew was “The Musical Box” encore, but it didn’t matter because Gabriel’s theatrics and the band were amazing.
These guys do such a good job of recreating that show.
Just caught the Genesis Extravaganza show in Long Island, NY, and what a great evening of great songs.
I saw them last year doing this. Pure musical happiness for me.
Saw this show in Tucson on Friday. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Incredible!!!!!!!!
Gracias por subir y revivir mi pasado un abrazo cordial !!
Thanks for the upload! I am a huge Genesis fan! Have seen these guys 4x in Buffalo, NY. A+++
Genesis 1969-1974 per tutta la vita!!!!
The Musical Box ora sono i Genesis ( visti a Roma il 30. Ottobre 2015 ). Grandiosi!
Thank you so much TMB for bringing us your fantastic work
The Musical Box operates not only with the blessings of Genesis, but with their support as well. TMB's Lamb shows used the original slides, costumes and sets from the 1975 Genesis Lamb tour. Their recreations of the Foxtrot and Selling England tours also use the original Genesis costumes and sets. Since there is no film or video of the Genesis Lamb, I'm thankful for a group like TMB, because of their commitment to being more Genesis than Genesis ever were....
Luckily I could see them in Santiago, Chile in a most unusual and unexpected visit a few years ago. Their sound and visuals + the original slide set from the original LAMB tour is a real thrill, truly close to the original sound. No wonder GENESIS gave them access to the original material of a band that will never ever happen again and that till today is an essential part of the soundtrack I've carried everywhere since I first heard them back in the mid 70s. Could never and will never be able to see that great magician - Peter Gabriel - with Genesis took prog.rock to a higher level back then. The Musical Box creates a nice sensation of going back in time, respectfully, as it has to be. Thanks for uploading.
Tears in my eyes...thank you!
Was lucky enough to see this concert as a 16 yr old at The Acadamy of Music, NYC, in Dec '74. Since the album had been released just a couple of weeks before, and not having it yet, it was all new to my ears, and probably the rest of the audience as well. On each chair back was the the story of Rael that is the inner jacket of the double album for us to read. Everyone was looking at it a bit puzzled not knowing what we were in store for. I just remember being blown away by the whole experience. It was quite an undertaking for a still relatively unknown band. Unfortunately, Genesis didn't film this concert tour. Thanks to The Musical Box for being so true to the original work and concert. Just saw these guys perform the Foxtrot and SEBTP tours back to back at Westbury, NY. Fantastic!!
Probably fair to say you would have enjoyed it Trying to read and make sense of the liner notes story waiting for the band to come on, then process and absorb two hours of new music was not easy ( I knew The Musical Box, which they performed as an encore). But what made this show so memorable was Peter Gabriel's voice, his stage performance, the costumes, the talent of the band, and the slide show, It was great theater. So there was an tremendous appreciation of what I was witnessing. Also, it created a wonderful visual memory for me as I got into the album, which I did buy the next day. Been listening to it pretty frequently for almost forty years now. Probably has a bit to do with that show. From a musical standpoint, it was great time to be a teenager!
I have seen The Musical Box do the Foxtrot tour and the the Selling England tour several times each. I never have seen the Lamb tour however. I can say you will not be disappointed by either of those aforementioned tours. Very solid in every respect.
The first time I saw The Musical Box do this entire album in San Francisco, it was flawless (and I DO mean flawless). There were obviously technical bugs with this show you're watching. They had a different keyboardist for that show. The guy who was playing "Tony" the night I saw them was dead-on, and had ALL of the original keyboards, (and he even looked like a Tony clone) - this guy uses modern keyboards and isn't nearly as good as the guy I saw The tempos were all much closer to the studio album and they had a better "Phil," as well. Still, you have to laud this band for putting on this show, night after night as a labor of love. And us fans, of course, eat it up! I wish someone had posted the SF show from the night at the Regency Ballroom in San Francisco that I saw.
That must have been the show at the Masonic. Great show, TMB at their best with Martin Levac as Phil and David Meyers as Tony!
I was there.
wow!!!! Beatiful job!!! CONGRATULATIONS from Argentina!
I've seen the Lamb Show by TMB twice and it was a great feeling. Especially The Waiting Room. Is a great experience when the audience is blinded by the flood light. The live show brings more to the visitor then every video tape can do, sothe publisher did a great work to bring us the feelling of the show by this video works.
This incredible performance takes you back in time 48 years, folks.
O solo de The Lamia foi executado em sua perfeição!!!
January 25, 2014 - Mississauga, Ontario (SEBTP)... waiting for a Toronto date too
Saw this show at the Hammersmith Odeon in 2013, and noticed one Mr S Hackett collecting his ticket at the box office. My brother said to him "I hope you didn't have to pay for those!"
Richard Craig
I bet Hackett enjoyed the show.
***** Have seen them twice. How could you not enjoy these guys? They are incredible.
GREAT STORY! HACKETT IS A TRUE GENIUS!!!
Hacketts band is superb too of course
They did a REALLY GREAT JOB!!! WOW.
Having seen the original show in Birmingham I am moved by this group. What an amazing show. Takes me straight back to the day.
"The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" (1975) is my favourite Genesis album. Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins are the masters.
It’s 74
WHAT A GREAT TRIBUTE TO EARLY GENESIS, THATS WHY THESE GUYS ARE ENJOYED BY SO MANY INQUISITIVE FANS...THANKS FELLA"S
It took me a few minutes to realize this isn't Genesis-great job
