Tentando di mettere luce sul mistero del The Lamb Tour, ho contattato un utente di Youtube (si fa chiamare Tommy Gun) che ha pubblicato sul noto sito una ripresa di quel giro di concerti. Questa è l'ultima risposta che mi ha dato (ci siamo scritti più volte):
Sorry it took so long to get back to you but I got real busy for a bit.
I searched all over Youtube for that German Bill Graham documentary and I cannot find it anymore so that person must have taken it down. The name of the show is called Treffpunkt and the pro shot segments in my video you saw are from that show.
There are more pro shot segments from that show in this video for Colony Of Slippermen too: http://tommygunvideo.ning.com/video/609533:Video:182
The rest of that 8mm footage is taken from a bootleg DVD called the Lamb Live Down On Broadway and if you google it I'm sure you can be able to download it. Demonoid is a good site for that.
If you cannot get it yourself, I have it plus other 8mm Lamb footage that I can trade you if you can somehow get hold of some Lamb footage that I don't have.
About the Lamb show that WAS shot professionally in Berkeley California. It was produced by a brother combination who just happened to work out of New York City and I DO know the person that lives in Brooklyn who did contact them quite a few years ago and they knew about the footage and believed they still had the raw unedited reels and if they found it that he can have it. As you can imagine my acquaintance was very excited while waiting but when they did get back to him unfortunately they didn't have the raw footage anymore so it was a BIG let down but they were able to lead him to the person who INTERVIEWED Graham for the show and he was in Germany. To make a long story short my buddy found him but the interviewer had no idea where the footage was. What led to the footage being lost back in Germany, I don't know I would have to contact my acquaintance again to refresh my memory.
Their names are Michael and Christian Blackwood and those are the guys who were responsible for professionally shooting the Lamb show in Berkeley. Christian died in 1992 and his brother Michael as far as I know is still running a production company. My acquaintance DID try to contact his production company again about 3 years ago but with no luck
That's where we are now. So there you have it, the actual names of the people who WERE involved in the professional filming of a Lamb Lies Down On Broadway concert in Berkeley. It's not a myth, it really did happen. And to the best of my knowledge from talking to some of my customers, 3 big cameras were at that show. So you can now share that info with the members of the Italian Forum Club. Maybe somebody can add more to it.
Regards,
Randy

Provate a tradurre meglio di Google Translate (e di me, soprattutto...) [;)]
Forse ci sono delle novità che lui conosce e noi no.
Ho fatto anche io il possibile [ho mandato un e-mail a Steve e pure a Anthony Phillips (?!?), così per vedere cosa poteva dirmi, ma è ovvio che hanno poco tempo per il computer e per rispondere, capisco bene, con tutti quei fan!] ma ho l'impressione che si tratti di un vicolo cieco che avrà sbocco solo con continue release, con pubblicazioni ufficiali in bootleg, inediti o dichiarazioni dei membri stessi dei Genesis. Se qualcuno possedesse del materiale, e con questo "qualcuno" intendo una persona normale che non ha a che fare direttamente con la band ma che possiede testimonianze del The Lamb Tour per vie traverse o semplicemente perchè ha ripreso amatorialmente un concerto a cui ha assistito, probabilmente si sarebbe già fatto vivo da un pezzo, considerato che (e continuerò a ripeterlo) sono passati 36 anni.
Grazie, ditemi le vostre traduzioni.
