Reelin’ in the Years Classic Album

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway – Genesis (1974)

In the era of concept albums and progressive rock, Genesis were at

the forefront of the daring music that embodied the genre, and “The

Lamb” is considered their crowning achievement of the 1970s.

Central to the album’s creativity are the lyrics of Peter Gabriel, whose

insistence that only he write them created tensions within the group.

He tells the story of a Puerto Rican street kid living in New York City

named Rael who has a surreal adventure seeking self-enlightenment.

Gabriel’s vocals are supported by Steve Hackett’s guitar, Tony Banks’ keyboards, Mike Rutherford’s bass

and Phil Collins’ drums, providing an expert balance of melody and experimentation.

The album was recorded at Headley Grange, famously also used by Led Zeppelin. Perhaps with

“Stairway to Heaven” still reverberating through the hallways, songs like “In the Cage”, “Carpet Crawlers”

and “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” are defining moments in the Genesis catalogue.

Tensions culminated during the subsequent U.S. tour to promote the album that Peter Gabriel announced

he was leaving the band. “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” was the perfect prelude to his successful

solo career.

LET’S HAVE A CHAT — BEN WETSELAAR

I was born in the 50’s in Holland and emigrated to Australia (Qld) in 1972.

I didn’t attend school in Australia, so had to learn English as I went through life.

My first job was with a Swedish ship as a deckhand, then I ended up as a mo-

torman in the engine room. I stayed there for 10 years. I then became a coach

driver (driving all over Australia) – a job I did for 30 years.

I have been living in Tassie since 2002.

How did you hear about City Park Radio?

I heard country music being played, so wandered in to the station and had a

word with the Manager at the time. The Manager detected a Dutch accent so

asked if I was interested in doing a Dutch program, which I did for approx. 8

years. I left CPR for a short spell, then returned. The programs I have present-

ed during my time at the station are Addicted, Exposed, Monday Breakfast (then moved to Wednesday Break-

fast), Rock Show and now I am a permanent fixture on Tuesday Breakfast.

Outside of City Park Radio, do you have other interests?

4 x 4 driving, sailing, volunteer ambulance officer. I was also a drummer in a country/rock band.

What will we be seeing you doing down the track?

You will see me walking with a zimma frame still playing rock and roll music (LOUD!!!).

(LC. What on earth is a zimma frame? I didn’t ask Ben as I wanted him to think I knew what he was talking

about).

Ed. Ben’s interest in presenting a Country Music program may come true in October — just a small wait eh Ben!
