    Pushing back the limits of its musical ingenuity, Genesis unveils in 1974 its new double LP "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" based on a story by Peter Gabriel, including iconic titles such as " Fly on A Windshield", "In The cage" and "Carpet Crawlers". The concert premiere, scheduled In October '74 in England, is postponed due to Steve Hackett's hand injury, and moved to America a few weeks later. The audience is left perplexed, unfamiliar with the new repertoire since the album is still not available. One of the very first Rock Opera in history, The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" is performed in its entirety, supported by an imposing projection system with more than 1000 slides, with outrageous costumes and props and an arsenal of visual effects and pyrotechnics. An innovative but fastidious staging, which will translate into frequent technical problems. After a tour of more than 100 dates in America and Europe, Peter Gabriel announces he's leaving Genesis. For many, the end of an era. Misunderstood, never filmed and poorly documented, it seems "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" has faced adversity and will undoubtedly become the most mythic work of Genesis.
