The album tells the surreal story of a half-Puerto Rican juvenile delinquent
named Rael living in New York City, who is swept underground to face bizarre
creatures and nightmarish dangers in order to rescue his brother John.
Several of the story's occurrences and places were derived from Peter
Gabriel's dreams, and the protagonist's name is a play on his surname[citation
needed]. It should be noted that in an interview Phil Collins remarked, "It's
about a "split personality". In this context, Rael would believe he is looking
for John but is actually looking for a missing part of himself. The individual
songs also make satirical allusions to everything from mythology to the sexual
revolution to advertising and consumerism. The title track, as well as "The
Carpet Crawlers" and "In the Cage", are live favourites for the band and
both have been included in 2007's Turn it on Again tour, with "The Carpet
Crawlers" played as the closing number.

Most of the music on the album was written by band members Tony Banks,
Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford, without Gabriel's participation and with little
participation from Steve Hackett as well. Gabriel insisted on writing the story
and all the lyrics himself, which caused friction, in particular because
Rutherford had originally suggested another project for the band — an album
based on Antoine de Saint Exupéry's The Little Prince. Gabriel was absent
from the album's writing and rehearsal sessions due to personal problems —
his wife was having difficulties with her first pregnancy — which added to the
strain. However, Banks and Rutherford wrote the words for "The Light Dies
Down on Broadway", as Gabriel could not come up with a linking piece
between "Ravine" and "Riding the Scree". Gabriel did contribute to the writing
of the music more than has been assumed; his then-wife Jill pointed out in
Spencer Bright's Peter Gabriel: An Authorized Biography that he wrote the
main melody for "The Carpet Crawlers", of which he is especially proud. It
should also be noted that tracks like "Anyway" and "Lilywhite Lilith" were
developed from earlier unused compositions by the band ("Frustration" and
"The Light" respectively) which were likely to have been group efforts, in
which Gabriel had played some part in creating as well.

During the album's pre-production, Gabriel was contacted by filmmaker William
Friedkin, (at the time enjoying great success with The Exorcist), about a
possible film project after Friedkin read Gabriel's short story on the sleeve of
the Genesis Live album. Despite his bandmates' disapproval, Gabriel left them
to work on some early script drafts. However, the project came to nothing
(Friedkin instead working with Tangerine Dream to score his next film,
Sorcerer), and Gabriel returned to the band.

The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway met with mixed reviews (see above), and
reached #10 in the UK, while nearly cracking the U.S. Top 40, reaching # 41
and eventually going Gold. The band went on a world tour upon its release,
performing the album in its entirety 102 times. The Lamb Tour was slated to
begin on October 29, 1974, but due to an injury to Steve Hackett's hand, the
tour was postponed until November 12, 1974, days prior to the album's
release to the public. Opening night for the tour commenced at the
Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, Illinois on November 20, 1974. The final show
on The Lamb tour was May 27, 1975 at the Palais des Sports in Besançon,
France. Early into the tour, Gabriel decided he would be leaving Genesis,
although he would finish the tour amicably with the band and not go public
until August 1975.
