Amused to Death

Much like the very early Floyd, this era of Genesis was vastly different from what the band ultimately became. Both bands eventually gained commercial success but the roots were far more "proggy" and experimental. Unlike Floyd, early Genesis relies more on characters and stories rather than spacey experimental music.
1972 Complete show recorded for TV. About 30 minutes from the Nursery Cryme era Includes "Fountain of Salmacis",, "Twilight Alehouse", "Musical Box" and "Return of the Giant Hogweed"
1973 Full concert running about an hour. Great quality video & audio. Probably the best I've seen from this era. Gabriel at his full theatrical best! The costumes, face paint, stories...if you've never seen this era of Gabriel/Genesis its a must-watch. All the classics of the time are played here - "Watcher of the Skies", "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight" & and wonderful "Supper's Ready"
"Watcher of the Skies" Also from '73. Very haunting.
1974 "Supper's Ready" This version is not as good as the '73 show, but shows the evolution of the band, their stage setup and more of Gabriel's costumes and stage antics.
Live "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" Video quality is pretty good, not great - but the audio is excellent. This is about half of the full show. There's a complete version but imo the video is worse.
The Lamb is probably my favorite Genesis album. Having this rare concert footage to go with it is awesome.
