    Dans les années 70 quand j allais voir Genesis,cet homme se tenait sur le coté de la scène,dans la pénombre. Avec le temps,il a gagné en assurance,en virtuosité et bien vieillit. Peut être, parce qu il a su quitter le navire à temps,juste après Gabriel,avant que le groupe ne sombre dans une soupe commerciale ? Merci pour pour tant de beauté :)

    Steve Hackett of Genesis and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the same stage together, a real meeting of true geniuses of the prog genre, it doesn't get any better than these guys and when you add Hackett's amazing band to the mix, what you get is an epic performance. I would Shadow Of The Hierophant up there with 'Spectral Mornings' as one of the greatest songs Hackett has ever written, it just gets better and better with every listen.

      Tout à fait. Steve Hackett est pour moi le meilleur guitariste de tous les temps. Son solo dans "Firth of fifth" issu de l'album "Selling England by the pound", de Genesis, est, je crois, le plus beau solo de guitare de tous les temps, à égalité avec celui de David Gilmour dans le titre "Comfortably numb".

    Saw him live at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Monday The 1st of May. When he played this he got a standing ovation for several minutes. The band were going off for the interval but couldn't due to the audience applauding. I first saw him play this live at Birmingham Odeon in '78 on the Please Don't Touch Tour, and can remember being utterly mesmerised by it then. Monday night transported me back to my teenage years and I was as utterly transfixed by it as I was back then. Foxtrot's loss was Voyage Of The Acolyte's gain. Even though on this tour he has dropped Supper's Ready from his set list I didn't feel at all cheated. I've been to hundreds of gigs over the years and Monday night's was easily in my top 5.

    Veiling the nightshade bride stalks a flower revealed
    Nearing the hour make haste to their threshold concealed
    Lost in thought in search of vision
    As the moon eclipsed the sun
    Casting the same steps glimpsing his own fate to come
    Melt in the dream void from which he never can run
    Lost in thought in search of vision
    As the moon eclipsed the sun
    Tears fill the fountains breaking their promise to heal
    Rippling the waters mirror an ended ideal
    Deep in thought but robbed of vision
    As the moon eclipsed the sun

    Saw this actual Shadow of the Hierophant in Wolverhampton. Steve was amazing on this, of course., and NICK BEGGS in his long frockcoat, white shirt and top hat was a sight to behold as he just stood there hand in pocket, having a serious session on the Taurus Base Pedals. Nothing can replace the base sound of the Taurus pedals for me, which Genesis used, to superb effect, on all of their early albums. Simply amazing! I could watch this video hundreds of times (probably have) and will never tire of it. A truly wonderful evening. Would not have missed it for the World. I will go and see him again when he’s back in the U.K. I believe he’s in the U.S. and Canada at present.

I also saw him at Wolverhampton Town Hall. The flute and Sax player was superb! Guy in a cap. My first introduction to Genesis was with my purchase of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and I was hooked!

The lamb lies down on B. Is a masterpiece I really love it and now I can say that my favourites are the albums of the Gabriel and Hackett era.
