The lamb wakes up

Tour program
The concert was a benefit for Womad (World of Music, Arts and Dance) and mainly a Genesis affair. This is reflected by the full color program. The cover is Genesis. After the bill we get an extensive Genesis band history of the eight incarnations they had. Two pages of Genesis snapshots. Two pages of covers of Genesis albums (and some Peter Gabriel). Four pages and a spread of concert pictures and comments by individual band members - of Genesis! Two subsequent pages with black and white publicity shots - of Genesis.

Sounds
The symbolism of this album's title and cover photograph, with Martyn standing in the shadows beside a cloth-shrouded picture frame and bust on a pedestal, is obvious and particularly apt.
