I've been to almost every recent Steve Hackett London show for the last 18 years now and he still continues to blow me away everytime with his incredible guitar playing and always delivers top notch quality music of the highest level. He has done a remarkable job in not only keeping the classic Genesis material fresh but keeping the legacy live with an amazing group of outstanding players. A true first class gentleman and a world class musician. My all time favourite guitarist from the prog genre.
Maybe I'm in the minority but, as much as I love the old Genesis material, I SO wish Steve would tour showcasing his prolific solo work like The Night Siren and The Edge of Light. Would that sell out the seats? Don't know, but this material is really amazing. here's hoping.
I was at the concert last night in Toronto at Massey Hall. it was absolutely brilliant. Steve's amazing as ever. His band members are so good as well. What a night.
New Album Steve ?!? yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Crazy Steve wow Steve in Montreal 3 Octobre ca va etre incroyable , merci Steve
See you there. It was the highlight of last year's show. This time it will be Watchers to be featured at last since it's on the record (duh) and there wasn't room for that in a 50-50 set that's not a full prog G R show.
Excellent interview. When Steve mentioned being in a half world - The Musical Box came to mind ! But it hardly seems to matter now, just keep playing my song. Must listen to the Foxtrot at 50 album.
My wife and I were fortunate to have attended the Washington DC show at the Warner Theater last Sunday October 22. Best show I’ve seen in a long, long, long time. The band was great, the sound was astonishing and the vibe was nothing but good. Like the interviewer says, it was the best show I’ve seen and I’m telling my friends you must see this show. My wife felt the same way and she was not that familiar with most of the material. His solo stuff was equally as wonderful. Personally I’d like to see Steve do a tour of Voyage of the Acolyte and Please Don’t Touch!
Just saw him here last night and was extremely happy to see someone under 20 in the audience intensely enjoying the Foxtrot replication. I'm beyond words grateful that this isn't something that's going to die.
I’m thrilled to be getting to see Steve Hackett in Houston in April. If I only got to see them perform Suppers ready, which I think is a masterpiece and my personal favorite i would be satisfied. I was fortunate enough to see Genesis in Houston back in the early seventies and I am really excited and so looking forward to seeing a truly amazing guitarist that Steve really is again after all these years. ROCK ON!!
Fabulous to hear another solo album is in the works. Steve's so inspirational in his "Energizer bunny" endurance. I'm so happy that he's coming to West Michigan in 2024 since I can't make CTTE. Great interview, as ever, Roie.

A lovely interview; Steve is such an articulate speaker and you listen so well to get the best responses. Steve's current band is probably the tightest band on the planet. The only comparable line up was King Crimson. I first saw him with Genesis in London in 76 and he just gets better and better. It's nice to see him playing big venues; I remember seeing him in some great smaller venues. Can't wait for him to come back to England; I miss my annual autumn Hackett fix but there is a lot of catch up.
16:43 I got 5 of the live double albums since seeing last year's Foxtrot at 50 the first time. Difficult to say which is best. The Liverpool one was a bit heavy on bass perhaps but the bass pedals were AWESOME and I gravitate to that one. The Selling England / Spectral Mornings one was excellent. Difficult to pick a fave. Maybe that one. None disappoints.

I couldn't agree more.

Amazing that Steve has given 30 minutes of his valuable time to participate in this interview. Sad to hear about his being burgled.

Genesis Revisited is among the best concerts Ive ever seen...looking forward to Halloween in Cincinatti. Truly a jaw dropping band
The perfect concert for 🎃 Halloween!
@@kenmcneillmusic1699 if only we could get Peter Gabriel to put his costumes back on and join in
New Album Steve ?!? yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Crazy Steve wow Steve in Montreal 3 Octobre ca va etre incroyable , merci Steve
4:30 It would be a hoot to bump into Steve in a music shop. I'm glad that he still goes to bricks and mortar music stores!😂🤣😅
Hackett continues to brig it! Rock on Steve you are an inspiratiopn!
I've got my tickets for Steve's Boston show on 10/12 - can't wait to finally hear Supper's Ready live!

My personal favorite guitarist
I’m seeing him in March. My 5th show in the last 4 years.

He’s the best. Thank so much!
Absolutely fantastic and such an inspiration at this age
Glad to hear an interview with Steve. Always so interesting in concert . But this is interesting too. Thanks for sharing.
Steve, how can you not come to Detroit with Foxtrot? I'm a grieving old fan with little else to look forward to. :)

the show in Montreal a week ago was the best show i've seen.
it was even better than his show last year!
Lovely interview. So glad I got to see the foxtrot tour and massively looking forward to lamb next year
Steve's hair!😂👍👍👍
Yes! Looks better a bit wild and unkempt!
12:58 Doesn't Steve sound like Peter Gabriel at that moment?
So, the new album may be titled, Please, Touch Wood? Oh, my. The double entendres!
Screw the new tech
Please come back to N Cal....!!
