The Lamb Tour (20/11/1974 - 27/5/1975) - Audio recordings

The Providence gig has long been seen as one of the better audience recordings from the Lamb tour	This is  re-master of the 10/1/75 show, which was  at the West Palm Beach Convention Center.	This is the most complete version, with all the broadcasted songs, including the end of "Cage,"	The Lamb Lies Down On Dusseldorf Recorded Live At Philipshalle, Dusseldorf,  Germany 6 April 1975
Recorded at the Palace Theatre in Manchester. This was the first of two days Genesis, both of which were recorded.	On this recording both "It" and "Box" have been replaced by the matching songs from the previous night's performance	At the Hippodrome in Birmingham, this is a show from one of two nights in a row at that venue.	It's really more of a Good than a Very Good. Still, not bad, and a totally complete show, with a very, very rare encore of "The Knife".
