For me it is the best song in the world i was 10 years in 1974 it was a wonderful time things was ok and some music was so beautiful as the number here.
+genesis0932 you forgot Hackett - they were the peak Genesis imho - just went to a concert with Hackett - incredible - after 40 years he is able to revive this stuff on stage like there was no yesterday - close yor eyes and its as if you hear Genesis live
Brilliant version. My husband introduced me to Genesis in the late 70's. He died earlier this year I now have his entire collection..vinyl and cd and video. His personal highlight was meeting Mike Rutherford twice..both times dumbstruck and speechless.
I saw this show at the Philadelphia Civic Center just a few days before this recording. One of the most memorable concerts I ever attended (and I attended a lot) Ironically the civic center was torn down in the past few years and a new building owned by my current employer (Penn Medicine) was erected. I am frequently in meetings in rooms that I estimate are situated in the general vicinity of my seat for the Lamb show.
this album remember me when i was 18 yo, i have got it as gift from my girl friend, for my birthday. That girl is today my wife, i'm now 52 yo and just became grand father, but the feeling of this song is always the same, fantastic.
Molti anni fa ragazzino dal mio radioregistratore passano questo brano, riascoltando oggi questo brano da vecchietto provo la stessa emozione di allora.....sarà x sempre così ciao a tutti!!!.
Salvatore Sansone anche a me i Genesis sono sempre piaciuti, adoro Peter Gabriel e Phil Collins...artisti eccellenti! È grazie a questo pezzo favoloso che li ho conosciuti, nel lontano 1977...ero una ragazzina di 12 anni..
One of my favorite Genesis songs...probably my favorite from the Gabriel years. The thing many people seem to despise Genesis for is actually the reason I love them so much: Diversity. From prog rock in the 70s to pop and stadium rock in the 80s...about the only other band that could hold a candle to Genesis in the diversity department was probably Queen, and they took the same flack from their elitist, so called hardcore fans. Fuck everything, if it wasn't for Phil Collins spreading the gospel after Peter Gabriel left, I would have probably never discovered albums like Lamb. And genesis churned out some amazing music with Phil at the helm, no one in their right mind can deny that.
Soo love this song,,,no matter who sings it but Genesis is best done cuz Collins got the magical voice,,coming from a die hard 30 yr fan,,its so beautiful.....havnt heard it in yrs today I cryd listen full blasst over n over MEMORIES!!! ( JULIE FROM CALI)
La vie a changée mais la magie reste quand on tombe par hasard sur des monstres ,qui, des la premiére note vous trompe pas et vous savez déjà qui s'ait!! J'ai 64 ans et j'etais en 1976 au concert de Genesis a San-Sebastian en Espagne!!!! Une partie de moi est restée la-bas c'est cool !!!
He wrote the lyrics to everything of his era and almost all melodies for his vocs - quite significant I'd say. In those and his performance style- brilliant
The album genesis live is one of the best live albums ever, it pre dates this but shows that intricate complex music can still come across forcefully in the hands of masters of their craft
Was ist Liebe ? Lasse Genesis in dein Herz ,dann wirst Du es erfahren mit der Freude und den Schmerz , man kann es nicht beschreiben. Man muss es fühlen .
Saw Genesis do "The Lamb Lies Down.." concert live. Awesome, but it was totally new material to me. A double album only just released, & it took up most of the concert. They played a few of the old "greats". I was a little disappointed that I did not hear "Musical Box." The "Lamb Lies Down.." is a masterpiece imo, but it needs a little time to get into. Its deep in a good way. The best live band I have ever seen by a mile.
It's interesting to me that we go back when listening to these classics. When at the time they were new and innovative. Now young people are rediscovering what we have already known, and find it new and just as innovative. It kind of makes me feel that there was so much time wasted in between! The bands at that time had to change, to keep up, only to find it was best where they started.
+ofenblase THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS IN TODAYS MUSIC I remember getting this album when it came out NOTHING LIKE OPENNING A ALBUM READING THE STORY AWESOME JUST AWESOME:)
The best album from Genesis for me, I hear it since I was 13 till today, and still touches me!It is really a shame that they don't keep writing songs together even today.
School is in session! The more you research Genesis earliest work & the entangled twisted stories and how they correlate with each other the more you are just mind blown. Tony Banks, a mastermind song writer who most don't even know he wrote the lyrics for most of their songs. And Gabriel brought them to life. With Phil on the drums to leave chills down your spine!
Best thing that happen to Genesis was when Peter left the band. Phil Collins stepped up to the mic and a new Genesis was discovered. Peter, being the music genius also went on to become a huge solo artist. Genesis and Peter then and now are still my most admired and listened music.Brilliant music talented individuals of the great 70's. You just don't get groups with that much raw talent today!
The last 3 years I went to the gigs from Ray Wilson. He offer us a different setlist and also a change line-up. But he plays ever this oldest song in his set. Carpet Crawlers is a must have.
I have a sense of "time-frame" when listening to it, although I was nine years old in 1974. I only re-discovered the joy of the Lamb album in the late '80's. I'm a guitarist and bassist and had musician neighbors in the early '90's who had beer bashes at their house. We always wound up playing this song in the wee hours over many refrains of "got to get in....".
With this group, the whole is greater then the sum of its parts. Genesis had a unique synergy which each of their independent (and, for the most part profitable and successful {sorry Tony}) solo careers lacked, and it made them into one of the truly GREAT rock groups in the history of Rock and Roll. While these two did form the spine of the group for MANY years, I encourage everyone to listen to each of the instruments playing in each of their songs to get a better feel for what they were.
@Big77Jim Yes I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written. I know what you mean about the chills. I get them every single time. I don't see how someone can listen to this and not be blown away. And this version...ahhh peter's voice on this version is killing me.
I live 15 minutes out of Providence RI. The theater this was taped in is in such disrepair. $15 million to refurbish it. Almost no interest has been shown. The Beatles, Stones, The Who all have performed there to name a few.
Gabriel was on a flight to a gig. One stewardess started acting all nervous and flustered! She started dropping trays, making mistakes and finally fainted! the pilot upon reviving her said what's gotten into you? She said ,"We have a God on board"!
Phil's vocal contribution to this is priceless. It provided a respite for Pete, but Peter hung in there and sang the song all the way through. This recording is a magnificent version. Thanks for posting, whoever you are....
Esta es la versión que me gusta. Peter Gabriel para enterar a muchos en el foro, fue el inspirador de Génesis, los mejores álbumes y primeros de la agrupación, fueron realizados por este cantante junto a Banks y Rutherford. Collins aporto mucho a la banda con su talento musical a su llegada y después de la salida de Peter y Hackett.
Having a child now makes me realize where sappy music comes from, but its incredible how many of the great musicians of the 70ies became merchants of Kitsch. Too much money, too little ambition. Genesis, led zep, pink floyd, elton john, neil young, bob dylan, paul mccartney, david bowie, the rolling stones, they all got gelded around the same time in 1980. Or maybe it was that they all got sober? sad. How could one country - England- and really only England, not britain, cos Ireland and Scotland and wales really didn't produce much then - produce so much genius? and then lose it all? I think oasis had like one half decent song- who else is there from england since 1980 whom you would call a genius? maybe morrisey, no one else leaps to mind. even elvis costellos best stuff was in the 70ies.
All of you that make it one against the other, really don't understand this band...they all love each other...are still very close. If you've listened to them they've talked about it (Phil and Peter anyway) commented that Phil sang it better and Peter sang it with more feeling...I've not heard Ray sing it..but I'll say this band is so consistent..Phil didn't write even a majority of the material..they co-wrote as Genesis and each has an individual style to his own..that is the magic of Genesis.
You mean like the bodyshaped-retro-haircut-mainstream-tattooed-cargo-bermuda wearing-politically-correct- lifestyle-hipster clowns today ? Well, you obviously didn't grow up in the seventies ;)
Is it just me or is this one of the best songs in the world?
How can someone's voice be any better than this?
It's absolutely perfect.
For me it is the best song in the world i was 10 years in 1974 it was a wonderful time things was ok and some music was so beautiful as the number here.
For sure.
Agree
What a song. You can listen to it a million times and it's still exciting..
Nothing is better than Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford and Collins. Nothing.
genesis0932 Yes, indeed. Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford, Collins and Hackett is better. ;)
Plautus16 you are right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
genesis0932 gabriel is very, very,mas que muy better.
+genesis0932
you forgot Hackett - they were the peak Genesis imho - just went to a concert with Hackett - incredible - after 40 years he is able to revive this stuff on stage like there was no yesterday - close yor eyes and its as if you hear Genesis live
of course I forgot!! Sorry!!
Brilliant version. My husband introduced me to Genesis in the late 70's. He died earlier this year I now have his entire collection..vinyl and cd and video. His personal highlight was meeting Mike Rutherford twice..both times dumbstruck and speechless.
My condolences for your husband, sweetheart... I hope he is at peace.
thats awesome!!!..I met tony levin..same thing..he fist bumped me..im standing there going,,,huh?...awesome...totally understand!
Thank you Debbie! We are here for you.
Phil giving Peter a good hand there. Their voices sound wonderful together.
Perfect!
Luigi Raimondo Pomo Truth be told, Tony Banks was the genius musician in that band.
Amazing!
Like a forest fight for sunlight, that takes root in every tree
Fantastic lyrics
this music never dies
I sang this song so many times I knew it by heart when I was young. Oh I still love this song!
I just phil 's backing vocals on this , what do you think ?
Greta S Bo Saw Lamb lies down.live at Wembley.....AMAZING! So glad i lived to see this, plus many concerts prior to this masterpiece.
I saw this show at the Philadelphia Civic Center just a few days before this recording.

I don’t why but this is one of the saddest posts I’ve ever read.
Phil and peter harmonizing on this song , love it love it love it , fantastic, best version I've heard.
this album remember me when i was 18 yo, i have got it as gift from my girl friend, for my birthday. That girl is today my wife, i'm now 52 yo and just became grand father, but the feeling of this song is always the same, fantastic.

Sono più di 40anni che Peter insieme ai GENESIS accompagnano la mia esistenza MUSICALE!
Salvatore Sansone anche a me i Genesis sono sempre piaciuti, adoro Peter Gabriel e Phil Collins...artisti eccellenti! È grazie a questo pezzo favoloso che li ho conosciuti, nel lontano 1977...ero una ragazzina di 12 anni..
One of the most beautiful and poignant songs ever. Just incredible.
I love that you're also a fellow Bowie fan!!!!!
Same time and place for me in the mid to late 70s. Loving Bowie more than ever.
One of my favorite Genesis songs...probably my favorite from the Gabriel years.
The thing many people seem to despise Genesis for is actually the reason I love them so much: Diversity.

degree7 Yet, some love it all, without the need for comparison
One of my favourite songs, period.
I was never a fan of Genesis until I heard this song. Pure magic.
I love this song too much (and Genesis too)... Nowadays music like this doesn't exist, and that's a pity, becouse this is real music :(
non mi annoiano mai,li ascolterei allo sfinimento,del resto 47 anni,li ascolto ancora con lo stesso entusiasmo di allora.
Soo love this song,,,no matter who sings it but Genesis is best done cuz Collins got the magical voice,,coming from a die hard 30 yr fan,,its so beautiful.....havnt heard it in yrs today I cryd listen full blasst over n over MEMORIES!!! ( JULIE FROM CALI)
peter gabriel is amazing a genius in self sense of its meaning the first musician to win a oscar for one of his videos !!!
I was at this concert! I can say without reservation, this was the best concert I've ever been to...
When they both sing you got to get in to get out,they were so in tune. Just beautiful
My favorite song all time i listen to it every day before work to start my day off right .when i have the time i listen to it evolve from 1974 to 1980
this is so beautifull, I always get tears in my eyes when I hear it ...
La vie a changée mais la magie reste quand on tombe par hasard sur des monstres ,qui, des la premiére note vous trompe pas et vous savez déjà qui s'ait!! J'ai 64 ans et j'etais en 1976 au concert de Genesis a San-Sebastian en Espagne!!!! Une partie de moi est restée la-bas c'est cool !!!
The best and most beautiful song ever wrote
A sublime song, played beautifully ... with which the mind is in seventh heaven ..
We have got to get in to get out ..
cinque geni che suonano uno dei loro capolavori. Marcello.
He wrote the lyrics to everything of his era and almost all melodies for his vocs - quite significant I'd say. In those and his performance style- brilliant
Beautiful song and performance.
The album genesis live is one of the best live albums ever, it pre dates this but shows that intricate complex music can still come across forcefully in the hands of masters of their craft
Was ist Liebe ?
Lasse Genesis in dein Herz ,dann wirst Du es erfahren mit der Freude
und den Schmerz , man kann es nicht beschreiben.
Man muss es fühlen .

Simply Beautiful.Majestic.
Un brano stupendo.tutte le volte che lo ascolto un brivido di piacere percorre tutto il mio corpo.
Salvatore Sansone concordo!!! È un autentico capolavoro dei Genesis... adoro l' interpretazione di Peter Gabriel ..Grande artista❤
The Old Genesis is the most important band for the development of progrock in his melodic Version!
+ofenblase true
+ofenblase THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS IN TODAYS MUSIC I remember getting this album when it came out NOTHING LIKE OPENNING A ALBUM READING THE STORY AWESOME JUST AWESOME:)
The real Genesis awesome . saw Hackett last night awesome.
The best album from Genesis for me, I hear it since I was 13 till today, and still touches me!It is really a shame that they don't keep writing songs together even today.

Thank you Mr. Gabriel ...For daring to be different...
He is not different, he is himself.
Viktor Matys So he's the same???
Clot God He's the same as all other Peter Gabriels who served as the original lead singer for Genesis. Collectively, they are themselves.
:-) "...for darnig to be authentic"
The last 3 years I went to the gigs from Ray Wilson. He offer us a different setlist and also a change line-up. But he plays ever this oldest song in his set. Carpet Crawlers is a must have.
Great Song! Really like the version with Peter Gabriel - sounds much more deeper with him.
he's the original writer so of course it sounds the best when he sings lead....
einfach klasse zeitlos schön.
I have a sense of "time-frame" when listening to it, although I was nine years old in 1974. I only re-discovered the joy of the Lamb album in the late '80's.

absolute masterpiece
Classic Genesis please come back to us!
I saw this concert, lambs lay down on Broadway, it was brilliant ! The original !!
Mystical song, I love it
Immortal music...
anch'io li adoro da una vita, quanto vorrei rivederli insieme!
Oh yes! I love early Genesis with Gabriel.
With this group, the whole is greater then the sum of its parts. Genesis had a unique synergy which each of their independent (and, for the most part profitable and successful {sorry Tony}) solo careers lacked, and it made them into one of the truly GREAT rock groups in the history of Rock and Roll.

first FAVE way back as a young teen in L.A. heard my bro 2 yrs older playing GENISIS YAY
Diese Video und Audio Komposition sehe und höre ich mir gerne immer wieder an!
v.g.
Achim
Absolutely BRILLIANT !!!
It's the bottom of a staircase that spirals out of sight, brilliant!!!
We gotta get in to get out. We gotta get in to get out. You can say that again. Magnifique!
Erinnerungen ... als wär s erst gestern gwesen ... :-)
Peter and Phil vocals just magical.
quando esta musica foi lançada..... eu parava tudo que estava fazendo para ouvi-la... continua fantástica 39 anos depois.... perfeita.....
El himno musical 🎵 de todas las épocas!!!
@Big77Jim Yes I think this is one of the greatest songs ever written. I know what you mean about the chills. I get them every single time. I don't see how someone can listen to this and not be blown away. And this version...ahhh peter's voice on this version is killing me.

It's such a shame to let things like that happen.
t bewt thing of this sad story is t music fk ROCKS even 2day i love udad
pelle d ' oca , brividi in tutto il corpo , meravigliosa ,
Always has been my favorite Genesis tune..Such a masterpiece
fantastica
Amazing stuff. Its just a shame real music is not broadcast on the radio. That's the reason why I don't listen to the radio any more...
Saw them on the legendary ´73 tour in Dortmund and Münster. Unforgettable . . .
li ho nel cuore da una vita
Gabriel was on a flight to a gig. One stewardess started acting all nervous and flustered! She started dropping trays, making mistakes and finally fainted! the pilot upon reviving her said what's gotten into you? She said ,"We have a God on board"!
Peter,Phil,Tony,Mike and Steve-the best of all the lineups.
Ray Wilson pulled off the greatest version of the song. He was simply the best singer for Genesis.
I think so too. Ray's singing on Steve Hackett's live version, from 'Genesis Revisited: Live at the Royal Albert Hall', crushes all other versions.
Phil's vocal contribution to this is priceless. It provided a respite for Pete, but Peter hung in there and sang the song all the way through. This recording is a magnificent version. Thanks for posting, whoever you are....
fav album and this song is magic
Tony Banks on fire...beautiful...what an into...sick just so sick...
Esta es la versión que me gusta.
Peter Gabriel para enterar a muchos en el foro, fue el inspirador de Génesis, los mejores álbumes y primeros de la agrupación, fueron realizados por este cantante junto a Banks y Rutherford. Collins aporto mucho a la banda con su talento musical a su llegada y después de la salida de Peter y Hackett.
That's my history of one of the best groups, individuals ever been on stage......
Yes, the best one with Peter - Merci à vous, fermez les yeux et écoutez, ne faîtes rien d'autre, laissez vous planer
Marci bocu
Superb song!
stupenda carpet crowlers
I don't have a clue what the lyrics are about but there is something inherently beautiful and yet sad about this wonderful piece of music.
Having a child now makes me realize where sappy music comes from, but its incredible how many of the great musicians of the 70ies became merchants of Kitsch. Too much money, too little ambition. Genesis, led zep, pink floyd, elton john, neil young, bob dylan, paul mccartney, david bowie, the rolling stones, they all got gelded around the same time in 1980.

Michael Fairney Morrissey definitely a genius
capolavoro !!!!
One of my all time favorites
This song was composed by Gabriel on the piano. You can't say he wasn't a composer, sneaky "new genesis" fans!
Phil and Steve are this song!
Perfect!!!!! Uma das melhores bandas da história do rock progressivo!!!!
Genesis was a group of musical members. You will not understand the music until you understand this.
Uma das melhores musicas.......supra sumo!!!!!!!
sangue na veia fluindo, magica da vida que poucos tem essa experiencia!
All you carpet crawlers give a hell yeah
One of my favorites..
All of you that make it one against the other, really don't understand this band...they all love each other...are still very close. If you've listened to them they've talked about it (Phil and Peter anyway) commented that Phil sang it better and Peter sang it with more feeling...I've not heard Ray sing it..but I'll say this band is so consistent..Phil didn't write even a majority of the material..they co-wrote as Genesis and each has an individual style to his own..that is the magic of Genesis.
From the time when Genesis were Genesis. Love it...
What a bunch of nerdy looking guys.
You mean like the bodyshaped-retro-haircut-mainstream-tattooed-cargo-bermuda wearing-politically-correct- lifestyle-hipster clowns today ?
Well, you obviously didn't grow up in the seventies ;)
What an asshole, Genesis is more than Gabriel or Hackett, Genesis basically is PC, Mike and Tony
seen this on my 16th birthday ford auditorium Detroit 1973
oh man! i would love to be seeing the live performance part!
You lucky dog!! Wish I had seen Seconds Out tour....especially in Paris!!
peter gabriel = genesis !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
