I love Nad’s voice, but this is one of those songs that I miss Phil Collins voice. Thanks Steve! You were definitely part of the best band in the world.
Hello Mr. Hackett! I´m very happy to be a member of you You Tube channel. This song and this are my favorites of your discography. It was passion at the first audiction! Cheers from Brasil!!! Take care, you and your family.
that bit you talk about in the middle is a wonderful dreamy bit. being Scottish I always loved the highland reference's. keep these chats up steve, so many songs you have to talk about.
I can remember when I was 16 and the only Genesis albums I had were invisible touch and Duke. I went to the local bookstore to buy more Genesis and I picked out Wind and Wuthering. The cashier girl got all excited and told me wait till you hear eleventh Earl of mar. She wasn't wrong. The entire album is and was spectacular. Unlike anything I had heard.
This song rocks. Yeah, “the stompy bit” is a good way to put it. The whole song really drives. It seems like all the parts fit together to form one massive entity. It's not like a virtuoso out front and a backing band keeping a groove. Everyone is listening to each other and playing together. What a concept!
Dear friend. Steve hackett us brazilians, we like you a lot for years i follow your work. I look forward to meeting you, Nad Sylvan and Group. I am Arnaldo Neto a personal friend of Roger Hodgson for 10 years. We will wait to release the concert halls in Brazil, we are being immunized and I believe that by the end of 2021 we will have the expected release worldwide. Warm regards to your friend, Group and Family Arnaldo Neto your admirer, June 29, 2021 🙏❤️
Wonderful, thank you so much for these Steve. One thing I'd love to hear more about is the musical interaction with Mike when Genesis were writing and arranging - for example, your 'stomp' section in this track is one of those passages where he supplied some real funk and grit in the bass line, and lots of drive under your fabulous 3-part solo. It's an amazing moment.
At the age of 14 (in 1978) I borrowed Genesis Live from a school mate.Listened to it once. The next day I bought W&W and with The Eleventh Earl of Mar I was hooked.
Another home run Steve !! Love this track and all of Wind and Wuthering..thank you for keeping connected with us all, much appreciated. You and Jo be well !
The guitar solo from the original was one of my favourite guitar tone or guitar sounds of all time. I thought the original was recorded with an octivider , but Steve said it was 3 part-harmony. Sometimes I asked myself how Steve could some great guitar sounds(at least for me). Guitar solo from Eleventh Earl Of Mar, guitar solos at the end of Star Of Sirius, guitar solo in A Phoenix Flown. Love his sounds. For what I understand then, the music was written by Tony and Steve, and Mike wrote the lyrics.
That song grabbed my attention from that glorious opening. It's a wonderful piece of music. Hackett's performance of this song with his band is awesome. This is so much fun, having Hackett review songs with us mere mortals.Thanks!
Back when this album was new I had a dream about being in my friend's backyard listening to this song by the pool and grooving to the guitar solo. Nothing was different or strange, we just sat there listening. That's stuck with me over 40 years later. The _song_ was more important than the dream!
I saw the band play this at Bristol Hippodrome on the Wind & Wuthering tour in 1977 as a very excited 16 year old. My dad drove me up from Devon and waited outside for me (wish he’d been at the gig with me now). Seven Genesis gigs and 40 years later I saw Steve play this again at the Colston Hall in 2017 (on my 56th birthday), just a few hundred yards from where I saw him with Genesis in 1977.
Thanks Steve. I remember trying to play your guitar solos, such as this one. Your guitar tone and playing style always stood out from the crowd, and that, combined with your prog rock brethren, makes it very special indeed. Cheers!
This one is consistently in my top five tracks by the band. But honestly, I thought that F/G section, the “see the steward all dressed up” segment, I really thought that would have been written by Tony. I imagine the verses came from Mike, and I knew the quiet bit and the intro each came from Steve.
When I lived in a college dorm back in 1983, Genesis music was coming out of three other rooms in the same floor I lived. W&W was a huge favorite. I was so naive at the time I really thought hardly anyone else cared about Genesis but me.
Great song! Very interesting chord sequence...awesome! Went to Scotland one time with my family from Texas...too damn cold in November!!! Beautiful through.
Thanks so much Steve for taking the time to cast a fresh perspective and insight on these wonderful songs. Your track chats are one of the highlights of lockdown! Please could you talk some time about ‘The Virgin and the Gypsy’? It’s such a haunting, evocative song and I’d love to learn more about its background.
Just saw this. Very nice hearing Steve discuss the origins. One of my truly favorite guitarists. I still know Horizons note for note. ; ) Thank you, Steve.
hey there steve.i did my version of genesis revisited last week thanks to your recent posts.yes i finally completed my genesis 70ies backcatalog on the old wax.thanks for doing these series.kind greetings to you and jo from henry in the netherlands.
Steve, I’ve always loved this song very much. It was a bit difficult to hear your narration of this one, as the music was just a bit loud to fully hear what you were saying all the time. It sounded like you were saying that you’d like to do all of Wind & Wuthering live sometime. That would be great! Loved seeing you at the Fox Theater in Oakland in October when you did Selling England. It was just splendid. Can’t thank you enough for doing the old Genesis songs. I love it very much!
Interesting books Steve. It's always the first thing I look at. I saw on one of your other videos I think with Chris Squire, we share some of the same titles. Really enjoy this videos! Thank you!
Hi Steve thanks for the video another 3 minute masterpiece. I have visited Braemar Castle it is very nice. I also visited Barnard Castle it’s nice and I got my eyes tested there too! 🤓👀 Best wishes D.C.
Thank you Steve. Two tunes come to mind: Entangled and Ripples when tony played guitar too and mike. If you could do a vid on those. Make them longer if you can Also need to mention Blood on the Rooftops. I played that for a poetry class in college and they were all blown away. Very powerful moment. Thanks !!
Have you ever heard “the other side of weird” by IQ? There is an acoustic mid section to that song that reminds me of the mid section of 11th Earl. I recommend checking it out
It is a worthy work made by Genesis ! Long times ago ! It is to remember greatest hits ! That melody comes from another planet and " you begin traveling by spaceship " Another hit event committed by Steve Hackett was in Germany ,1979 !
Scottish fans will always welcome you north of the border, we know you have a soft spot for our country regardless of the weather, jeez remember the time on the Renfrew Ferry? Biblical rain.
That guitar solo is the standout moment of the album! And The dreamy bit ‘time to go to bed’ is wonderful. I could never get along with the ‘Daddy, O Daddy’ bit though. . .
Thanks for another one of these Steve. Just yesterday a thought crossed my mind that you might have decided to give them up . . . so glad to see another one appear. I love to hear about the details especially the writing, who wrote what, arrangement and so on. such as on this song that you came up with the 'stompy bit' I can never get to much of that kind of info. Since 1971 my Genesis firends and I would discuss and wonder who came up with what. :)
I wish he’d break the songs down like Beato does on his channel and like what the song about and breakdown the solo and play the original cause the vocals better
Such an under rated Genesis album. Some great music after this point, but the band never again compiled such a magical collection of songs. This was the end of an era.
Agree with all the folk below about this being the last genesis album, this had a wonderful feel sort of melancholy and deepness to it than anything that had come before, but there were winks to this album on trick of the tail such an entangled. I saw two of the shows on this album tour and nicked an album cover from a display when I left one of the shows, I have it in a frame. Steve broke a string on one of the tracks at Earl’s Court and he just plain the song perfectly by moving to another part of the neck. Remarkable that these songs still seem ageless. There is a link in one of the comments below to a “then there was three interview” there are some comments in it made by Mike, Tony and Phil that makes me wonder if years on from Steve leaving that there was an understanding on the real change to the band, and that all the previous rubbish that had been spoken by the band on Steve leaving was really just that, total rubbish and that they know the band changed too much. There is some jealousy I would imagine on the success of genesis revisited by Tony, as all the newer material post Steve carries no weight to it. I watched an interview with Tony where he comments that Daryl’s version of the solo in Firth of Fifth is better than the original, that it has more feel than the original and not so straight! , I felt sorry for Tony and the bitterness he must hold onto as he must be the only person on the planet that could think that. Love these Steve please keep them up. Could you do Los Endos and what inspired you to use your arm on the damping part.
Dude I watched sum of all parts several times and when you point it out with so hard for the guitar to find places in the rest of the music that was written, the blank looks on the rest of Genesis says it all , or should I say the bank looks
That documentary is absolutely trash for a very simple reason: if you label something "sums of ALL the parts" there should be a lot more minutes dedicated to Steve Hackett, at least more than 30 seconds or so. Now interestingly the best documentaries on CZcams about Genesis were those made when the albums were reissued in 2007. The band discuss each album for a good 10 - 20 minutes each. And interestingly, Tony Banks mentionned in ATTWT interview that he lost an ally in Steve when he left, because both of them liked doing crazy things. His tone seems to have changed over the years for some reason. czcams.com/video/qjI93COgJ1M/video.html
@@Paddyjack Totally agree about that documentary and how the interviews from the reissues are vastly superior. I met Steve at (the currently infamous) Colston Hall (soon to be renamed) in Bristol back in the early eighties and he was one of the nicest muicians I've ever met - really kind and willing to chat. Never met Tony, but I think that he (Tony) has really mellowed over the years and actually has a self-deprecating sense of humour nowadays. It would be nice to think that he and Steve get on well now...
I much prefer Nad's singing Phil songs rather than Peter's. Think it fits the original tone quality better.. Just my cents but thanks for the Gene track. Always appreciated.
Great song, it received a lot of airplay on Q102 here in Dallas back in the day, you probably couldn't get any station to play that or any progressive rock song these days...well, other than the edited version of Roundabout or some of the more "commercial" Genesis songs. Love Nad, but try sticking to the original versions...please, and thank you.
Steve Hackett you are an international treasure. One of the greatest living guitarists.
Hear hear!
The mood of "wind and wuthering" is just fantastic, as well as "a trick on the tail" is.

Dear Mr Steve my friend i Love yous songs. Come on Brazil please in 2023 🇧🇷🙏🙏🙏
This song is the song that cemented my lifelong love of Steve Hackett and Genesis. Simply mind blowing for me at the time and still is.
Same here, it came on at midnight on the radio album hour while me and a friend were camping. What an impression
I love Nad’s voice, but this is one of those songs that I miss Phil Collins voice. Thanks Steve! You were definitely part of the best band in the world.
it would be neat to hear a soul sister cover these multifaceted gems ...
Yes nad is fine but Phil’s smoother tone suits it better imo.
There is one drum part in this version that should have been re done as it sounds awful luckily only for a few seconds.
He sounds a bit like peter gabriel
That quiet arpeggio break in Earl of Mar is one of the most beautiful music passages in the genesis canon....
Hello Mr. Hackett! I´m very happy to be a member of you You Tube channel. This song and this are my favorites of your discography. It was passion at the first audiction! Cheers from Brasil!!! Take care, you and your family.

My second favourite song and album of Genesis . The intro and the bridge are simply BE-A-U-TI-FUL!!!
I can remember when I was 16 and the only Genesis albums I had were invisible touch and Duke. I went to the local bookstore to buy more Genesis and I picked out Wind and Wuthering. The cashier girl got all excited and told me wait till you hear eleventh Earl of mar. She wasn't wrong. The entire album is and was spectacular. Unlike anything I had heard.

Always will be One of my favorite Genesis Albums.

Today there are no words but a lot of feelings, thanks Steve,
These chats are great, Steve. I love the insight into how these great songs were created. Rock on!
Find you someone who looks at you the way Steve looks at the camera when listening to his own music
Always happy to see you brighten up my day...Thanks Steve......
I really hope you will play this on the 2024 European tour😮
Hanks Steve. These short videos are great and give me new insights on these wonderful songs.

Wind And Wuthering had a lot of great songs. Wonderful piece of music.
First Genesis song I ever heard, and what got me into it. Thank you so much for talking about this song Mr. Hackett!
Thank you Mr. Hackett, you're one of my favourite guitarist since I was child.
At the age of 14 (in 1978) I borrowed Genesis Live from a school mate.Listened to it once. The next day I bought W&W and with The Eleventh Earl of Mar I was hooked.

🙏
I have such beautiful memories that coincide with when I first heard this wonderful piece of music back in 1980!
i love this always one of my favorite Genesis songs ever SUCH A FULL SONG SO MUCH MUSIC
The best Phil Genesis song in the catalog.
Steve,
Please talk about great track "Inside and Out". Did you know at the time of recording that it would be the last recording with Genesis?
Greg K should have been on W&W imo
That’s the second best track from these sessions.
Please talk about Inside and Out!! such a great song!
@@FundamentalsUK yes, totally agree with that opinion....
A man who knows his music and "Knows What I Like". These insights are awesome, thanks Steve!
Underrated song
W and W is my fav Genesis album of all of them.

Another cherished tune. The long song story telling makes the imagination soar.
Just saw this. Very nice hearing Steve discuss the origins. One of my truly favorite guitarists. I still know Horizons note for note. ; ) Thank you, Steve.
I love the early Genesis albums and I recently found your Tribute album. Big fan. More power to you fella.

My first ever concert was the Wind & Wuthering tour in Edinburgh. You guys brought the house down with this song.
Wow!
I always think the beginning sounds like Battle of Epping Forest!
my favourite genesis track...and amazingly my 17 year-old daughter's too...
Interesting books Steve. It's always the first thing I look at. I saw on one of your other videos I think with Chris Squire, we share some of the same titles. Really enjoy this videos! Thank you!

Steve, what was used for the voices or choir sounds on Eleventh Earl of Mar and Afterglow on the album? It does not sound like mellotron.
😍🎶😷
When I worked in a bank aeons ago I used to serve the then Earl of Mar. Can’t recall what number he was by then.
Original would have been recorded in '76, no?
Lol... Yeah, also pretty sure it was technically still '76 when it was released? 🙄
@So Angry it mustve been 76 when it was released because their first tour date for this album was new years ‘77
