I was at the Lamb show at Berkeley Community Theater, Berkeley, CA in March of that year, if I recall. Amazing, intense show, Genesis at their best! I believe the entire show was video taped by KQED TV, the San Francisco PBS station, but was never aired. Does anybody know what happened to that tape??

Musical Box doesn't do 76 tour very well - sonically speaking.. Singer can't, Drummer isn't, energy is geared towards making the show sound like Genesis in the studio, not like they were live. So its like putting on Trick of the Tail over loudspeakers in a big auditorium, but then... it isn't at all.. Thanks for your 1975 testimonial stories guys and gals... Always fun to relive concert experiences.

Saw this show in Providence, RI. The show almost didn't happen - someone tried to break into the theatre through the skylight over the stage - it was raining that night and the stage setup and instruments were soaked. So they had to dry out the stage and cover the hole with a tarp. The crowd grew impatient, Peter Gabriel came out and said they'd play, but it would take time so make your choice - refund or wait. The "voice vote" was play on - and the show ran past 1:00 AM. Unforgettable

amidst all the comments regarding gabriel, hackett and various awestruck concert memories, listen closely to the tight , snappy and utterly daring percussive onslaught of phil collins. yes, there are many other talented drummers of this era, but none was better suited for these strikingly precious songs. truly Epic!

I too saw this concert at the Century in Buffalo. It's something I'll never forget, nor recover from... Take the opportunity to hear The Musical Box. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Musical_Box_(band) With the endorsement, support and assistance of Genesis, this band recreates The Lamb in glorious, infinite detail. Close your eyes, and it's a '76 flashback. Going to see them perform "A Trick of the Tail" this weekend!

I saw this concert at the late, still lamented Century Theatre in downtown Buffalo (now a long empty lot). Still (34 years later!) one of the best concerts I have ever seen...possibly THE best.

In fact, It was cut from the official boxset due to a drum error when Phil dropped a drumstick after the line "It is hope for the dope". And the Encores were cut to keep a Lamb-only recording. The story of the tape running out was invented by Tony Banks to justify the faults of It and the Encores.

A live recording of "The Lamb" was released on the Genesis Archive 67-75 Box Set.....the recordings were "touched up" or so I read and the tape ran out at the gig before the end of "It" so they recorded another version in the studio. Some of Shrine's recordings ended up on a bootleg album called "As Though Emerald City"
