MPN Gear Chat • The Musical Box: The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway tour keyboard rig with Ian Benhamou

Ian Benhamou of The Musical Box takes Music Player Network's Dave Bryce on a tour of the custom keyboard rig he uses to perform the Genesis classic album "The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" live, basically using the same rig Tony Banks did when Genesis toured the album...but with a few modern tweaks.
As always, MPN Gear Chats are unscripted and recorded with a mobile device. We apologize in advance for any rough spots.
Extra special thanks to brother Stan Cotey for the camera work and insightful questions.

Remarkable level of detail! The RMI part gave me chills. Such great memories of listening to The Lamb. Would love to see these guys!

[@turnerpad]

Ian, thanks for clarifying when Tony started using his Hammond T-100 and the RMI.

[@jerryclark1903]

That was really informative and enjoyable!

[@davidbryce6542]

Thank you, Jerry!

[@fallingmanuk]

Thank you so much for this video - I learnt so much about Tony's gear. The Lamb is my fave PG era album, and Chamber Of 32 Doors my fave song too. Can't waiti to see this show next February when TMB finally make it to Cambridge UK!

[@tra13efr]

And wasn’t it amazing. Totally buzzing from the sound.

[@musicartgeek]

Starting at 11:45 has all the feels. Well done Ian Benhamou!

[@pasi8800]

So cool you guys met up with Ian again! I'm still watching the first video every now and then. The Musical Box are just so insanely good.

[@Ontariosound]

Tony Banks. A living legend.

[@wgb01001]

YES! Chamber of 32 Doors is absolutely the best song on the Lamb!

[@alexanderbleeser9784]

Yes, behind 'The lamia '

[@musicplayernetwork2950]

Thanks, Roger!

[@jhernangiraldo2380]

Wonderful. A perfect Tour. The best of The best on life.

[@johnsoper5675]

Amazing. I can actually picture Tony Banks playing The Lamb with the description. Tony Banks is out of this world amazing at the keyboards. Ian is kind of like Tony Banks Junior.

[@johnruuu]

Top shelf, personable and technical. Loved it!

[@davidbryce1050]

Thanks so much!!! Ian makes it easy…

[@johnruuu]

@@davidbryce1050 cool dude!

[@winstonschwarz1636]

Missing one tooth? I've only got two up there! Great vid man. Many thanks!

[@choppersquonk]

So cool. Tony Banks is highly rated by many but under rated by many more…

[@bellxfm1]

Extremely interesting, lifting the lid on the skill & mystique!

[@thebod1]

Tony used the cross hand technique even the Fading Lights solo.

[@Darrin.Crawford]

Also, No Reply At All, Colony Of Slippermen and Robbery Assault and Battery

[@mikemmartin]

Thanks for this David and Ian! Really incredible insight into an amazing tour.

[@musicplayernetwork2950]

Thanks, Mike!

[@gadymarcus2362]

Magnificent.

[@davidbryce1050]

Thanks!

[@filmusikchannel7596]

Awesome

[@RezaPratamaR]

thanks

[@musicplayernetwork2950]

Our pleasure! Thank you for watching!

[@atilasoliveira1839]

The musical box é uma das composições mais lindas do rock / genesis/ Peter Gabriel, maravilhoso

[@redstrat1234]

Amazing

[@sun6moon9]

I tought he never played Through a Leslie but Through an MXR 100 phaser instead. I have also the notion that crosshand thing was actually pushed by Ant towards Tony.

[@brianbissenden4509]

That was great. Is there a video talking about the visuals?

[@musicplayernetwork2950]

Hi, Brian! Nope, just a couple of keyboard guys geeking out over our favorite toys.

[@alanhandel650]

Hey Dave!

[@davidbryce1050]

Al! How are ya, brother? Hope all is well…

[@jfebman]

old gear sounds better than new gear.

[@furiobisotti8150]

Simply unbelievable... I play these songs, but much worse...
