- Sulla strada tra aeroporto e porto di una città da qualche parte dello stivale, un giorno qualsiasi di un giugno in cui nuvole e pioggia non si decidono a lasciare definitivamente al sole d’estate il posto che gli spetta. L’autoradio è accesa, una conversazione si propaga insieme al suono di una canzone anonima.
“Ma a lei che musica piace?”
“Il rock, quello più classico, fino al metal…”
“I Guns’n’Roses, i Rolling Stones?”
“Naturalmente!”
“Sì, però, “Selling England By The Pound”….quello era un vero capolavoro!”
Ah, i Genesis!
Per legioni di appassionati di progressive rock, e di rock music tout court, i Genesis (perlomeno quelli di prima della svolta pop degli anni Ottanta), sono stati un amore assoluto e non paragonabile ad altri, e persino, in qualche caso, troppo esclusivo. Questo innamoramento ha attraversato intatto le decadi, nonostante il disprezzo dei punk e degli indie-rockers, non solo restando incastonato per sempre nel cuore degli antichi ammiratori, ma pure conquistando nuovi fans tra le più recenti generazioni che si sono approcciate al prog magari attraverso il viatico dei suoi incroci bastardi col metal.
La musica dei Genesis degli anni Settanta, però, non viene in sostanza più suonata dal vivo da chi l’ha creata a suo tempo, giacché, nel corso della rare reunion con Phil Collins dietro il microfono, i Genesis hanno privilegiato le canzoni del su citato periodo pop, predilette dalle masse indistinte. Di un nuovo tour con Peter Gabriel, poi, si favoleggia da tempo (se ne sta riparlando proprio in questi giorni) senza che tale agognata ipotesi si concretizzi. La voglia di ascoltare dal vivo certi brani, però, è palpabile grazie al successo riscosso dalle tribute band che dedicano ai Genesis il proprio entusiasta lavoro.
Ci pensa, allora, Steve Hackett, chitarrista della band fino al 1977, e, tra l’altro, titolare di una carriera in qualità di solista con picchi d’eccellenza, anche molto recenti (si veda Beyond The Shrouded Horizon) a riproporre, in studio e dal vivo, con ospiti d’onore di gran prestigio, quel suono immortale.
In particolare, nell’ottobre del 2013, l’axeman inglese ha tenuto un concerto sold-out alla Royal Albert Hall, accompagnato da una band con Nad Sylvan alla voce, Rob Townsend ai fiati e alle percussioni, Roger King alle tastiere, Lee Pomeroy al basso e Gary O’Toole alla batteria.
La serata, dedicata alla rivisitazione dei classici dei Genesis, vede ora la luce in versione doppio CD e DVD, con il titolo “Genesis Revisited: Live At The Royal Albert Hall”
di Francesco Maraglino - Zábava
These notes enter your soul, played masterfully by a poet of music.
The band is masterful complementing Sir Hackett.
True!
No doubt
Antonio ~ l;m a progger though, and through. This is one of thee best of the best! up there with Yes ''Awaken''. l cant say l get ''visuals'' in the conventional sense with Firth of Fifth but during Steve's solo, comes an unexplainable kind of mood, and a beautiful longing for...something. l cant quite touch it, but l know its there. Maybe the bliss of Heaven.

DAL LONTANO 1973 SEGUO I GENESIS. LI ADORO. UN MIO CARO AMICO DICEVA CHE LA LORO MUSICA NON STANCA MAI. AVEVA RAGIONE. IO RITENGO SIA INIMITABILE. INEGUAGLIABILE. MIO PADRE OTTANTENNE LI AMAVA. I MIEI FIGLI IN AUTO MI DICEVANO DI ASCOLTARE I GENESIS. SONO MOLTO SINCERO, PIANGO, AVEVO 15 ANNI. ORA A 61 CERCO DI EVITARE DI ASCOLTARLI, SOLO PER IL FATTO CHE MI RICORDANO GLI AMICI, MIO PADRE SCOMPARSI TROPPO PRESTO. SPERO DI INCONTRARLI TUTTI E INSIEME ASCOLTARE QUESTA MERAVIGLIOSA MUSICA. NEL MIO CUORE FINO ALLA MIA FINE.
......approvo ogni parola che dici quella musica ci ha accompagnato e ancora ci accompagna per merito loro ci fermiamo e sentiamo il cuore battere ancora ..anche se piano piano la vita scorre ...
.... Sono anch'io con voi... Grandi e unici... Certa musica non muore mai....
Amo i Genesis come te. Le loro canzoni hanno lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia della musica e nei nostri cuori.❤
Steve is one of the best guitarists alive. He makes the guitar cry and sing.
Never got the credit he deserved.
hes getting it NOW!!!!!!!! the best guitarist left on spinning ball of chaos!!!! ive listened to, and seen them all, from eric johnson to keb mo, gilmore to brian may, and marc boland to merle haggard, all of which are magnificent!!!, no one can touch stevies way of squeezin your heart, of confounding your mind such as hackett still does!!!!!< to this day and forward!! to say nothing of seein him live!!!! took me 30 years 4 the oppurtunity 2 see him in nashville in 2017 at the WINERY!!!! people need to pull their head out man!!!!
The warm, liquid tone of his guitar is like having Honey poured into your ears!
@@TheMettalicman ~ Always been my favourite guitar player! When l heard that Genesis didn't want him playing for them anymore.. (long after the fact, and about 42 years ago) without knowing many details about it, l spent years thinking ''WHY ...would they DO something so dumb??'' l guess it was just so obvious to a 16 year old girl from Canada, that when you hear someone THAT PERFECT ...you grab them and never let them go!!! :D
this guitar solo is probably the most beautifull of progressive rock.!!!
Actually the most beautiful guitar solo ever
Never seen a man just play guitar , pure mastery, make it look easy. I thought 2006 Zep reunion was best music vid ever till now. Every note sounds better than previously. High Fi get better again. The best rock symphony ever music written!
@@davegeorge7094 Great news is you still have a chance to see him live. Get out there and do it!
It is my absolute favorite segment of music.
fully agree. so soulful, almost crying guitar tone, similar to human voice
Arguably the finest guitar solo of all time. Never tire hearing it played by the maestro that is Steve Hackett.
God Bless Steve Hackett for keeping alive the Best Progressive rock of my youth. He still plays fantastic and delivers Prog Rock to a new audience. Saw him several years ago in Detroit and it was a great shoe!
And yes John Wetton he also was a great musician. I saw.him with UK King Crimson and Asia. He will for sure be for ever missed. God bless you John. I'm sure your in a better place. 🙏👍
David ~ Yea its Wetton's birthday today! He'd be 72. June 12th '49. :)
@davidbrugman I don't know if you remember this or not, but at a time when ELP temporarily split up, and John left Asia, Greg Lake filled in for John on a live show from Japan. At least I think it was Japan. A friend got me tickets to see the live broadcast via satellite from a radio station promo/contest. If you're from L.A. I think it was KMET that promoted it. And the story was Greg had a very short time to learn the songs-like a month or so. But he did it and was awesome. I think this was 78 or 79. It was a good show. Greg did well.
@@3rdandlong ~ Greg was an EXCEPTIONAL musician! He also had a _beautiful_ singing voice! Right up there! One of the ''big boys''!
@@theresa42213 And I just remembered something. Guess who was on drums for that show?
@@3rdandlong `
Any discussion of the best rock guitarists should include Steve Hackett. He's just incredibly talented and versatile. And Goddam I miss John Wetton - once in an lifetime voice and an awesome bass player. RIP, John.
A true magical sound that comes out of Steve's guitar I love seeing Steve live.
How blessed we were , growing up listening to music like this - gratitude ..
yes, all we can do is say thank you, an go see this guy at every oppurtunity, while he REMAINS!!!
Olot ~ INDEED we are blessed! ALL good things come from GOD! He shows His glory in the orderly beautiful things of the universe ....like SOUND!
After more than 45 years, that guitar solo STILL gives me goosebumps!!
always! one of the best solos
Same to me..
debuch ~ Almost 50 now.
I can only say… shit, I fainted away!!!
This must be one of the most beautifully crafted songs musically ever!
One good thing of being alredy 58 years old,is that i lived my youth listening to the best music ever.
This solo is just exquisite! I can loop it and listen over and over again! It's a masterpiece... Steve is a genius!
Tony Banks is a master to come up with pieces like that beautiful piano intro to Firth.
Banks Wrote it.
The guitar solo, too
@@DougMayerMobileDesk ~ Yes he DID! Banks, and Rutherford wrote a LOT of stuff together! Banks is one of thee best keyboard technicians l've ever heard! l would suffice to say that Tony is an _actual_ genius! A real one! ...all you have to do is hear him talk. He's SO dry! xD
Steve Hackett left the band in 1975 - I'm still trying to figure out how he had a lifelong musical "career" using Genesis music. He was a great guitarist but he wasn't the best.
The music teacher of my son when about 10-11 years old told his class to listen to Firth of Fifth as music inspiration....GRAZIE Mr.Bosio...!!!!
Steve Hackett and all the band members, thanks for for keeping the early Genesis music so alive, amazing sound from all sides.....love it
Steve Hackett: A great musician and a very lovely guy.
Simply the best guitar solo ever. I can't stop listening to it.
Try listening to it with good headphones ... wow
Thanks Steve, for honoring the music you created with Genesis, and keeping that flame alive.
RIP John Wetton vocals on this concert.
I would have loved to see him live, either with Steve Hackett or even with King Crimson :(
I kind of thought that looked like John Wetton. And he was a good singer. I love his stuff in King crimson. But I don't think he sounded too good on this song.
Ricardo Mayo
Saw John back in 73 when he was with King Crimson, they put on an incredible show. Fripp was all pissed off because he thought the audience was a little too lively. LOL
@@x00p3 I saw Fripp at a little soundscape show in Milwaukee in 1996. And he got pissed at me for putting my backpack at the edge of the club stage. Haha
demasiada belleza 🎶🎼🎸🎹
I am quite literally in tears . . . hearing that fabulous piano intro again, seeing Jon Wetton on vocals, and that guitar solo . . . feeling so good, but so old . . .
John Wetton died in 2017
THANKS TO Tony Banks too
That is definitely John Wetton.
🙏🏻🫶🏻
That guitar solo has always make me cry 😭❤️🧡💛💚
Me tooooooo ✌🏼
Uno di quei brani che devo ascoltare almeno una volta al giorno per riconciliarmi con la vita e ricordarmi che vale la pena di essere vissuta. Quando Steve tiene quella nota prolungata ti entra dentro come una lama e ti fa a pezzi l'anima. È impossibile non emozionarsi.
Grandissima versione ma.... Con Tony Banks alle tastiere è un'altra cosa.
When I was building my sailboat in South Africa in the mid seventies I would always relax in the evenings with a glass of red wine and Genesis, any album, they were all brilliant, this song brings me right back to those halcyon days with my lovely wife and my enchanted life....
happy guy !
You are truly blessed Namaste 🙏
I'm teary-eyed when Steve and John Wetton hug at the end. Those guys were close friends, just like Chris Squire was with Steve, too.
I C You yes, you can see that look that a Steve gives John at the beginning. Definitely love and respect there.
John's voice has always enchanted me all this years....RIP Mr, we miss you very much :-(
Remember Genesis in the early 70’s. They practiced on a farm near Ft. Wayne, Ind. for awhile and held a concert in a high school gym. Tom Hanson, their light man, was a friend. Thanks for carrying on their early music with Peter G. The best high ever still.
Though Greg Lake was the original and sang on those great early King Crimson records (and later singers were great also), for me John Wetton will always be remembered as the voice of King Crimson - even if he was sometimes low in the mix.
I literally started crying. I wasn't expecting John Wetton to sing this. Beautiful.
Quedé sin palabras.
glad no Nad.
Amazing guitar solo. Listen to more than over 100 time. And every time, I'm completely overwhelmed.
Big thanks to the Italian Genesis fans. They are very important for Genesis.
The guitar lines (original and all reincarnations since) never fails to give me goosebumps. Love the way that the eerie minor key lyrical passages transforms to a positive and optimistic major key in the ending. Steve Hackett and Tony Banks were the musical powerhouse in Genesis
The most stunningly beautiful Prog Rock Guitar solo you’ll ever hear. No need to shred like a chainsaw.....how can you truly FEEL a thousand notes a minute anyway? Never mind the quantity, just savour the quality. Tone so smooth and pure......like Golden Syrup in warm milk. This was my introduction to Progressive Rock after hearing a preview of Seconds Out on BBC’s Friday Rock Show. I bought the album and used to lie in my room in the dark listening to Firth of Fifth with my parents downstairs totally convinced I was doing my Maths Homework!
I saw Steve play it at a low key show in my local venue back in 2014. I was literally at his feet and now I know how it must’ve felt to hold the ladder for Michelangelo!
You nailed it Martin, I'm 74 and still have the original album....I feel blessed to have lived in this era of music.
Exactly.
Man..., i just can't hold the tears back. Beautiful!
Dear, thank you!
One of my favorite and moving guitar solos of all time.
WOW!!!!! What an OUTSTANDING performance!!! Chills, tingles, smiles....... I got all of them watching this!!!! Thank You Steve, John (RIP), and that amazing band of incredible musicians!!
Steve Hackett è una leggenda vivente. Ineguagliabile!
When the Mellotron and bass pedals come in during Steve’s guitar solo...One of my fav moments in any song ever! What a beautiful rendition! This is as good as it gets!
You are right!
I hope I can hear this music in heaven
I hope you do too!✌🏼
I love this guitar solo. Its fantastic beautiful
Tears to my eyes.
Alas a diehard progman Steve Hackett God bless him to carry the torch for Genesis
I get goosebumps all over my arms when Steve does his unforgetable solo.
Jefferey Blagus yes, played the way it should be and not noodled all over like Daryl Stuermer did. Daryl is a great player but I couldn’t forgive him for not playing the FoF solo the way intended.
I heard Steve with orchestra last week and that solo was as spine tingling as ever. One of the great guitar solos. Full stop. RIP John Wetton
Amen! And his vibrato is incredible, so expressive!
@@Eleventhearlofmars agreed. its a very tightly constructed composition that doesn't lend itself to additional improvisation. as beautiful as a classical masterpiece
@@Eleventhearlofmars could not disagree more. Steve has been playing the same exact solo, with zero variation, for over 45 years now. Props to Daryl for mixing it up a little. A concert shouldn't necessarily be the same as listening to the album.
Alright, I'll call it. 6:35 is the most beautiful sustained note ever played.
definitely .-)
For me it is either this one or the beginning of solo in Pigs (Three different ones) from Pink Floyd´s magnificient David Gilmour.
@@Kozdera1 Lets have both!!!
Gets My vote :-)
Come on, you know it would be better if Daryl Stuermer threw a few van halen licks through that section.
One of best Corona Medicin , STAY HEALTHY ALL OF YOU ; We SHALL SURVIVE
You as well my friend.
You want a real corona medicine, watch this: czcams.com/video/nBJypAHwIto/video.html
you are so right. Stay safe
Fabulous and lovely to see John Wetton singing. Sadly missed. RIP
Remember John Wetton in UK 1977-1979 Alaska, Danger Money wow.
As a musician, piano, keyboard player, singer, composer, worldwide traveller since I was 12 in London, alone, I need to say that Genesis were my Genesi...after Bach and Company. Still in my blood, soul, brain, bones... That song was my first contact with the band. I was surprised and astonished by the level of that music. Still now. A masterpiece, iconic, wonderful, You all add the rest... Thanks Tony, Peter, Steve, Mike, Phil...no classific, no one better or worst of other. It was a simple, magic alchimia, an encounter of 5 lucky geniuses. Goddesses bless You all, for the rest of Your life and mine. Ciao
Love the shot of Steve and John sitting next to each other....And that Intro was like listening to Tony Banks on the original album!!!
Steve I have been following as a big fan since the beginnings of Genesis Nursery Crimes. You are a amazing musician. Keep up.the beautiful music. I'm from Michigan . My younger brother and myself went Masonic theatre to see and Genesis play there way back in the early 70s. Bless you..👍
A true masterpiece! 👏🏼 the whole Selling England by the pound but mostly this song and the Cinema show touch my soul. Love them!
What a guitar!!! He always worked for the song, the composition, every entry is precise and sensitive.
My favorite guitar solo song of all time. This version is incredible, but the one on "Genesis Revisited" is so awesome. It has a kind of snarl to it. I get chills every time I hear it.
Chuck ~ Yep! lt's a _beautiful_ solo indeed! Nothing quite like it anywhere. Steve's playing was like that from the first time l heard him. The way he creates melody, and mood is _stupendous!_
The 1990s version with John Wettom on bass? It's upstairs. I need to dig it out and play it now.
I was 21 drove a laverda jota to Copenhagen and the record that was on the turntable was genesis live kept playing it over and over for the two weeks I was there im 68 still got a bike and still listening to this work of the most gifted musicians in the land salutations .kin great then and now.
Some of the greatest music of the 20th century....timeless!!
Ogni volta che la ascolto ho la pelle d'oca incredibile!!!!
Any man who can get John Wetton to guest sing for you is a genius and one to be admired.
Magnificent. Transcend beauty.
Classics will remain forever, John Wetton, we'll always remember you!
We miss this talented man a lot, RIP John
Magnifique !
Than you Steve Hackett for keeping our GENESIS alive! As I am 62 now, your soaring arrangements, gifted musicians on stage, and guitar truly send me back and forward at the same time!
Probably my favorite Genesis song
Too many to count
@@nosuchthing8 Nope, it's the best
@@MattGarratt CORRECT
One of Steve Hackett's best solos! I have memories of drifting downstream... with the headphones on- listening to Selling England by the Pound :)
Used to burn and get lost in this 43 years ago ; still do........
Iconic song. Steve's the best! My all time favorite guitar solo!
Wow! Roger King is a fantastic player, along with everybody else in this band. I always liked Mr. Hackett's work. Bravo!
One of the greatest versions of FoF ever, sounding better than it could be mixed in a studio. Love watching Lefty Lee play this and Mr. Wetton whether this Genesis or The Crimson, Rest in Peace
amazing sounds from that guitar . never get bored of this....
Probably the most creative of the great guitarists in innovative techniques.. Greatly expanding the boundaries of guitar.. Sounds not sounding like a a guitar but not trying to not sound like a guitar.. Fully brilliant.. Riffs etched into our minds.. He benchmarked impeccable.. His contribution to culture and future guitarists has earned Steve an honored and lasting place in history.
Steve
@@MrLeoYaus ~ Absolutely! l first heard him as a 15 year old girl, and l fell in love with his playing! At that age l just _could not comprehend_ why the guys in the group let him go! l had no concept of ''disagreements between members''. You just ''didn't DO that'' to such a gem of a player! xD Wetton's birthday today btw. He'd have been 72. June 12th '49.
A masterpiece of progressive rock!
Che meraviglia, ragazzi….tutte le volte che l'ascolto, automaticamente, inizio a piangere dall'emozione. Senza parole
Io l'ho visto al Liceu di Barcellona l'anno scorso. Magic
Il 23.3.17
A chi lo dici, Paolo...
The great thing about watching masterful musicians is how effortless they make it look. They actually have fun and are not worried because this is second nature to them. Genesis music took you to other places much like reading a novel allowing your mind to imagine!
MY GOD!!!!! I have to see this man live. This brings back so many great memories, seeing him do this with Genesis when they toured and did this album. I'm crying right now and I'm 63 years old. BRILLIANT!!!!!!
Stephen, don't worry it can happen. These are wonderful notes that enter the soul masterfully played by a poet of music.
I know what you mean! I've had the pleasure of seeing Steve five times now and every time is better than the last. Steve will be touring later this this year doing the entire Seconds Out album. Do everything you can to see him on this tour.
Whenever I go to see Steve Hackett I cry all the way through; in a good way! That solo is the best EVER!
Saw him about 6 months ago What a marvelous show.
Oh wow I actually got quite emotional listening to this sublime trip down memory lane
Stunning! One of my favourite Genesis tracks. This performance was magical
CDs of all the Hackett shows on the way to my house after seeing them last werk at Friars Aylesbury. 13 September 2022.
This version of this magnificent song lets me drived of to a beautiful place♥️
Superb, no other words for it..
BEAUTIFUL....BEAUTIFUL....BEAUTIFUL SONG ....FROM START TO FINISH....THE LEAD, DRUMMING, EVERYTHING
...HEAVENLY...
So bauthful. RIP john
RIP john
Maestro...
Me emociona escucharte.
Muchas gracias.

Definitely, a masterpiece! The solo guitar is certainly beautiful but, for me, the true essence of this song is the piano. Yes, I am a guitarist but... It is what it is! Tony Banks - respect! Musical greetings from Portugal.
Da brivido. Bravi tutti in particolare il pianista. Sembrano pronti per una braciolata e suonano con una naturalezza un brano per niente facile.
This remains the standout Genesis track - truly superb and Steve's solo in it is absolutely stunning even after all these years
They have like 30 "standout" tracks...
Definitely a stand-out Genesis track but Hackett, who left the band in 1975, is still milking a living out of it how exactly?
@@SuzyQ334 his band is playing the early genesis stuff all round the world - there is still a massive audience for this stuff. So much better than most of the unimaginative rubbish nowadays
My very first encounter with this kind of Music, coming from classical studies at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome as a pianist. I was shocked and happy to learn something unique and so important. Genrsis in my heart forever.
This song doesn't age. Extraordinary song up to this day and forever.
Fantastic..... No words.
R.I.P. John Wetton. I miss you, man.
Fuck off
Jojo ~ Wetton's Birthday today! He'd have been 72. June 12th '49. AND l apologize for the cement head below you who told you to ''f off'' for your comment. UNbeLIEVable!!!
@@theresa42213 I hadn't even seen it. It's really unfortunate a person who makes such a comment in mentioning someone's memory. But we live in a world of unhappiness and hate. A sad era of our civilization. There are many people buried in this existential emptiness. Grateful for your sympathy.
@@JonahJojoTheMan ~ No problem, and may The Lord bless you! :)
This tune keeps me awake---at night --still thinking !!
OHHH! l'm here for the MILLIONTH time, and this .....THIS ....is just inCREDible! Steve does it BEST!
Assolutamente fantastico
Brano immenso, impresso nella mia vita per sempre.
Classical Rock.
Wonderful.
Best ever guitar solo, to me.
Truly exquisite musicians. They kept the rhythm at the right speed. Most bands hurry and ruin the song. Thanks for your post.
Quando inizia il solo di chitarra entriamo nella magia.
La migliore dei Genesis - The best of Genesis - La plus belle des Genesis.
brings back my youth. thankyou
How very excellent. Heartwarming that they are truly enjoying themselves.
thank you very much john.rip.thank you
The amazing Steve Hackett!!
God Guitar
So beautiful song
Sempre bellissima, chitarra da brividi.❤
Brivido assoluto per certi capolavori vorresti non finissero mai
My God, that guitar-led instrumental passage ( 6:00 to 8:20 ) is from another galaxy.
( Overwhelmed by goosebumps.....)
I saw Steve and his band perform this at Sheffield last year. Selling England by the Pound and Spectral Mornings, it was utter bliss. This track was one of the standout moments, but in reality it was all fabulous. If you've wondered about going to see Steve, don't hesitate. The man and his band are consummate professionals added to which they still dig what they're doing and it shows.
This is 50 years old, l'm 57 ....and it still sounds new to me!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022!
