The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway is the first song from Genesis's 1974 album of the same name. It introduces the audience to the lead character Rael and sets the scene for the rest of the concept album. Along with I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe) and The Carpet Crawlers, it is one of the most well-known songs recorded by the Peter Gabriel-fronted incarnation of the band.
After Gabriel's departure, The Phil Collins-fronted incarnation of the band performed the song often during their first few tours, usually seguing into the closing section of "The Musical Box." a live version appears on "Seconds Out" from 1977 as well as part of the "Old Medley" on "" from 1993. The song was also played in full during the 1998 "Calling All Stations" tour, with Ray Wilson on vocals.
Progressive rock band The Flower Kings covered the song on their first live album "Alive on Planet Earth".
