You may have seen it on Instagram, but Genesis bandmates Peter Gabriel and Tony Banks recently got together. They collaborated on the 50th Super Deluxe Edition of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway from 1974.

Peter Gabriel said: “It was an interesting experience to be back again inside the world we built 50 years ago for The Lamb … Bob (Mackenzie) did a brilliant job bringing it into Atmos and it was good to be back in the mixing chairs with Tony. It brought back many good memories of being in a band. We were still wearing our ‘More Me’ T-shirts, however, we have both matured enough to (very) occasionally ask for ‘Less Me’ – would never have happened 50 years ago.”

And Tony Banks added: “Great to have a chance to work with my old friend on something from our youth, and relive some of the moments we had when recording these pieces. Still sound fresh to me!”

The remastered box set was released on September 26, so if you’re a big Genesis fan, go get it! 

In the meantime, you can enjoy cool old live pictures of Genesis here on my website or look up Peter Gabriel being quirky and weird in the bathtub of a hotel room in Amsterdam, wearing silver contact lenses.
