Spectral mornings with David longdon fantastic.
Had the opportunity to see this show live back in April, and it was terrific. I had to order the signed vinyl version afterwards.
Steve Hackett is touring because his wife took all his money in te divorce. Kim Pool was pretty, now she'd fat..
Another excellent set from Steve et al … the audio quality is just fabulous … band are so so tight … Steve is touring this show in USA in coming months then, in 2024 here in UK, we get to enjoy the next installment with a show that will include highlights from the Lamb Lies Down album (Steve has done up to 4 tracks from this album in previous shows … maybe he will add a few more? … We shall see) … deciding whether to travel from Aberdeen to either Glasgow or Birmingham shows … decisions decisions … Would expect to see the CD set reviewed here high up on folks' album realease of 2023 lists …. CMcG, Aberdeen, Scotland ….
👍💯. Thanks. Again. Pete
Looking forward to seeing Steve this Friday (Oct, 6th) in Ithaca, NY. Will be my first time seeing him live (never saw Genesis). Definitely will be picking this up!
Excellent set – I do have most of these cuts (well the ones I like) already in live form on other albums but this is very good. "Can-Utility And The Coastliners" & "Get 'Em Out By Friday" were new to me (by solo Hackett). I only have the sound files (mp3's) not the hard copy with BD…
Some of my other new recent albums:
Guess Who/Plein D’Amour – I have no issues with this band, sounds like good rock to me, but it's not Guess Who. 7 good tracks. I actually relabeled my sound files as band name = "The (NEW) Guess Who"…
Flaming Bess/Wrinkle Of Time – pretty good new prog
Loonypark/Strange Thoughts – their 2008 album Egoist was better, they're a hit-or-miss band for me
Tony Banks described Hackett's playing in the 70s as 'Quite stiff'.
Nice review Pete! I still need to get my copy, hopefully soon. After seeing Steve and the band last year for Seconds Out I nabbed a ticket for the upcoming Foxtrot show November 10th. I can't wait for the show!
The man who holds the Torch so well!
My Steve Hackett shelve is breaking out of its bounderies. We'll see….
I was at the Brighton gig (annual pilgrimage to a Hackett show), and it was just spectacular. Hard to believe how Steve's playing has got better and better over the years. We're so lucky to have him keeping the classic era Genesis flame burning so brightly.
They always have a Break then come back and do the Genesis Music Pete
😃👍
Going to see him in November…really looking forward to it!
Going to see Steve tomorrow in Toronto, never seen any Genesis music played live before so I'm pumped, especially for Supper's Ready.
Will be seeing him in two weeks in DC
I just see the show last night !! '' Merveilleux, Fantastique !! ''
I attended this exact concert yesterday night in Montreal! Simply amazing!!!!
I just saw the Montreal show last night. It was fabulous. That is definitely on my buying list.
Love Steve and will keep seeing him live but these sets are all really sounding the same now.
Ha. We were just watching some of Hackett's solo work in anticipation of the concert tomorrow.
I really love these albums. From the first "Revisited" through to this one, they are all amazing. Obviously I'm a huge early Genesis fan but Steve has done a brilliant job with this series of show.
Got to get it, saw him in Copenhagen in May 2023
The Steve Hackett Live Industry 😀
Bless him
Sounds like youve really conquered your allergies over the past year, Pete. As a fellow sufferer, im happy for you.
I saw him perform the Foxtrot at 50 set (+ additions live in Swansea) last year and he was excellent with a spot-on band. I guess he always is; a player that is very serious about what they do and how well they perform.
Just got my tickets for the Lamb shows in the UK next autumn. The Foxtrot gigs were stunning; that amazing band was better than ever, especially the encores.
Hi Pete….love your review…..I am wondering if you heard the new Southern Empire cd…Another World?…..I think you will absolutely love this band
Going to The Egg next week to catch this show!
Thanks for the review. Going to see him next month in Salem, Oregon
Thanks a lot Pete, looking forward to buying this set. 😊
I got to catch this tour when Steve Hackett played at Hammersmith Apollo in London and as always, it was a fantastic show, 3 straight hours of epic music. A brilliant live 2CD and blu ray set, nothing but true love and respect for the man himself, my all time favourite guitar player from the prog genre. Great review as always
