Genesis – Tour dates: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway Tour 1974-75

There is probably no Genesis tour that is as enigmatic as the tour to promote The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway. It has cult status because it was never filmed professionally, and good quality film material of the live performance is rare and never complete. Many tour dates were forgotten about so they never appeared in any lists. Many lists you can find on the internet and elswehere contained numerous wrong dates and/or locations – and many shows were cancelled or moved to a different date.

For the Lambconventions in 2001 and 2012 (go herefor a report and for photos) we have carefully assembled a list of tour dates, based on painstaking research. Interest in those conventions was gigantic – in both years both dates were sold out. Many questions about The Lambare also discussed in the online world. Many Lambexperts such as Mino Profumo, Eddi Pachali, George German, Marcello Cirese and Serge Morissette have contributed to answering our questions about the tour. Additional information came from fans who still have newspaper reports, tickets, passes or posters from the Lamb period.

Flawed lists and incorrect tour dates lists abound to this day – even in recent publications. With our own inventory we have done our best to list the tour dates as accurately and reliably as possible.

Corrections will continue to be part of this project. Only recently (in early 2019), we found proof that the Wiesbaden show did not take place on May 12, but without doubt on May 14, 1975.

If you think you have spotted a mistake, or if you have documents that support a different tour date or venue or location please do contact us (the easiest way is an e-mail to Peter Schütz). We would also like to hear from you if have something that supports a correct tour date for which we do not have definitive proof yet.

We have sorted the documents that people sent to us or that we collected ourselves into the following categories:

Ti (ticket)

Po (poster)

Ad (advertisement in newspaper etc)

Tp (tour programme)

Re (review or concert report in the press)

Pa (pass for the show)

Many thanks for George German for providing the images of the posters in the header image.
