![STEVE HACKETT - Firth of Fifth [Live at Royal Festival Hall 2018] FIRST TIME COUPLE REACTION](/img/n.gif)
From one of the best live albums of all time. It’s magical when during Steve’s middle section solo, Phil and Chester on drums, Tony playing the organ and mellotron, and Mike is playing rhythm guitar and the Moog bass pedals, all coming together! No wonder it’s bringing the tears of joy! 🥲
Boy, do I overwhelmingly agree. Genesis came from another dimension and, although I've been listening now for over 50 years, I still can't get enough.
I thought I was the only one who weeps during Steve Hackett’s piece. Gets me every time without fail.
Steve's touch kills me everytime !
Phil is on drums from the beginning of the "flute solo" section and Chester re-joins at the beginning of the guitar solo section and both play until Phil drops off at the end of the guitar solo section.
Thank you for the info! I was wondering. I figured he hopped in after he was done singing the first sections. They play so well together. I watched a video of them playing together and it was amazing
Whenever the band is sans vocals, Phil is on drums.
Phil's kit also has a distinctive sound... as does Bill Bruford's kit.
Mike goes back and forth from bass to guitar/bass pedals seamlessly.
Perfect musicianship, the guys were at the top of their art.
Please react to some IQ stuff, really worth it.
You ain't kidding bro. This is the absolute best... IQ?
One of The great live Albums.
Perfection.
Keep Rocking.

7:48 tears starting but you are strong! 8:04 Not strong enough! 8:12 Let the tears roll down!
I've listened to Firth thousands times and I let the tears spill out everytime. Great music makes that! Beautiful reaction! 😍😍😍
One of the best live albums ever
No doubt..THE Best ;-)
I always tears up listening to this solo, so emotional and beautiful
The best Genesis live song ever, IMO!
Hey Lee! For my sister. People can say all they want about Peter Gabriel, but Phil Collins is one of the best drummers AND frontman in the business!!!👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎

@@lesblatnyak5947 Thanks Les!😎
RIP sis. Glad to have you here Jeff!!
@@L33Reacts Thanks Lee.😎
If it's any consolation, it will never leave you. Forty years on and this solo still hits me just as hard. It's a very valuable thing to acquire musical friends like this song.
Any song off of “Seconds Out” is HIGHLY recommended!!!!
The drum fills on this track are just perfect.
Steve does it live, and includes the piano part at the beginning, with an orchestra.
This was one heck of a live performance.
Hackett
OMG, this is my favorite version!! I love this live album and FOF on this album is magnificent!! Awesome!
This version was so amazing 🙏 I love this band so damn much. It's always great. No matter what. This just reinforces my choice to name this my favorite find of last year (the studio version)
I played this for my dad on my car stereo when I was a teenager and he got goosebumps!
For me the Peter Gaberial era is it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ☮☮💘💘💥💥
I preferred it when he left then that was it at after 3 Sides Live
@@benvad9010 NOT ME !!!!!!!!!!! NO PETER NO ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing song from one of the best live albums of all time.
L33: After The Cinema Show, how about the centerpiece of this entire live album, the song that even Peter Gabriel saw from the audience, got goosebumps and teared up for, the massively majestic Supper's Ready? It'll knock the wind out of you it's so badass. Thanks for sharing your travails with us, too - how awesome is it that you were surrounded by drugging yet held fast to life and got out of there? "Your builders outstrip your destroyers, and those who laid you waste go forth from you." You have earned your tears of joy.
Beautiful reaction!! You want more tears with Genesis? Try "Blood on the Rooftops" and "One for the Vine".... tears guaranteed as per a number of reactors reactions! 😇
"Heathaze" is another bittersweet song.
I'll add them to the list. Thank you :) so glad you enjoyed it. I certainly did too. Amazing stuff.
Yes, Phil and Chester are dueting on this song. Two of the best drummers in the world, that's all!
Phil plays the beginning of the instrumental. He is the sharp, tight, quick/hard playing (Phil haha) -- right side/channel and then they play together when Steve's bit starts. Phil has a huge pocket, as does CT -- they fit so well together - and are so good they are playfull in each other's pocket while keeping the whole tune together. PC is an awesome arranger. Phil plays around a bit more, and CT is just so solid and perfect. You're doing something right when Bill B and CT are the live guys you play with. Phils always play during instrumentals, so assume as much when you hear them live. PC always introduces/introduced himself as a drummer first. It is his essence in everything he does,
40 years here, dude. Stay in the **here and now**, be present -- make healthy habits, and keep them (DISCIPLINE) and cry all you want, and laugh, and express wtv is really YOU -- all of it; to beautiful art, the miraculous world we live in itself and the ones we love and can love us. Give without asking, be present always, be strong, and you'll be well fed and change the tapes and stories, I hope. Still, is that for me, every day, 40 years, kids, 2 wives and a good life, fully lived. Peace and love, brother.
PS The second you're done reading this, the moment is gone; the past is the past.
Now you are talking. Masterpiece of a double live album
I like Trick of the Tail a lot, but Wind and Wuthering is right up there. I like every song on each of those albums.
The first time I saw Genesis live in those times, apart from their obvious musical brilliance, the thing that hit me were the bass pedals. Excellence. Thankyou and take care in the future.
The best live album Genesis ever made and was my introduction to the band. The one I owned, was imported from Japan by Tower Records. Perfect!
I've been right there with you many times, emotionally. This is one of the great creations of humanity, and it's beauty can overwhelm. Your thoughts can go anywhere, but ultimately it's a beautiful moment. One that makes life worthwhile.
I was 15 when I saw this tour/consert in Kopenhagen/Denmark (a small trip from Sweden. hehe...) One of my first shows and I don't have to tell you it was magical. Still the best i've seen.
Glad to see a young man like you keeping the legacy alive.
Perfect what band what an era
Seconds Out is THE best Genesis album, in my humble opinion. This group (especially post Gabriel) is one of my top 5 all time. I saw them live for their Duke tour. Amazing show! Great reaction, young friend!! Between your Steely Dan and your Genesis appreciation, that covers 2 of my top 5 ever!
Yes to Wind and Wuthering! One for the Vine is the best song of all time for me. The entire album is their best work in my opinion and the last Hackett gave us as a member. I am 53 now and have been a fan since I was in middle school. If Firth of Fifth is their hallmark song with Gabriel, One for the Vine is their hallmark song with Collins.
The bass lines are terrific
Genesis fan from Greece
It's pure unadulterated beauty and I admire you for recognizing just that. I wish everyone could FEEL it. It's tears of joy and positivity and I've been there many times.
Genius
Glad you are doing well bud from a huge Genesis fan from Liverpool.👍
They skipped the piano intro because Tony couldn’t get a sound that was acceptable. If you want to hear another great live version check out Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited at the Royal Albert Hall.
This Song Shows my Genesis-World of soul and emotion- lifted to a higher level Boy Steve Hackett. In a classical way ist shows a sophisticated level of Music. Yehudi Menuhin was Not the fastest violin in the world but the emotional. Trank you Steve!
Keep fighting pal,this is Genesis at there best ,sheer masterpiece.👏👏👏
Quality is sensational
Of the Many Wonderful Genesis Songs You Can Test Drive, You really need to treat yourself to "Entangled" from the 'Trick Of The Tail' album, is shows genesis at their most Magical and Poetic.
I saw this line up three times in London before Steve left. They were so tight and Yes were probably the only band who could match them live. The music is so uplifting and I'm so pleased that music that means so much to me has helped you. BTW there are whole show recordings with Bill on drums eg London June 76. Well worth checking out.
Lee, all good on the tears, man. That is a beautiful, authentic reaction and I am grateful for your honesty and your journey. God bless you, brother. Hey, there is a song on this live album that also moves me to tears. "Supper's Ready". When I listen to the Seconds Out version of that song, especially by the last couple of minutes, I can't help but lift up. I always feel like I am overcome with a spiritual bliss...and tears of an inner joy that I cannot find anywhere else on earth. Listen to it. Supper's Ready, especially on this album, is a real journey.
LA MAGIA SIEMPRE LA PONE STEVE .........ESO FUE GENESIS .......Y HOY STEVE SIGUE MOSTRANDO LA MUSICA DE GENESIS EN EL MUNDO EN DONDE EL ERA EL MUSICO PROGRESIVO TOTAL ,..DESPUES DE GABRIEL Y HACKETT , FUERON UN GRUPO POP ........SOLO POR LOS DOLARES Y EUROS .
I get to see Steve Hackett again in a couple months🎉🎉 can't wait!!
Saw him here in Paris last summer. GREAT show! Brought some younger musician friends who didn’t know what they were in for. They were blown away.
Like the lyrics say. Life is a "River of constant change".
You could do a Firth of Fifth reaction every day of the week, and I'd still watch/listen!
Yep it's all Phil for the first half of the keyboard solo then the two of them...Phil and Bill together on cinema show is awesome..
perfect guitar player/playing, perfect drummer/drum playing, perfect bass/bass player, perfect keyboarder/keyboard player... areJUST Genesis
in this live version they found the correct and perfect ending... and the guitar and drums are sounding much better than at the original version
Hope things will get better and better for you...
Thanks for enjoying this track so much ❤
AMEN on the Steve Hackett guitar solo. AMEN.
Great. One of my favourite live albums. Got this as soon as it came out for my 16th birthday. Still have it, along with other copies in different formats. Happy days.
Ultra super mega fantastic ❤
J'étais à ce concert au palais des sports Paris
Inoubliable
I’m REALLY hearing Mike on this. His work behind the “flute” part after the main vocals is subtle but man oh man ❤
Thanks for this! I had put in a comment requesting this version a while ago. I heard this before I heard the original, so it is the "gold version" to me. It is my favorite Genesis track. I put it on in my car at least once a week. Please do start on "Wind And Wuthering" soon!
Great reaction!! If you love this song so much, then I highly recommend checking the live version done by Steve Hackett for his Genesis Revisited Band & Orchestra: Live at the Royal Festival Hall - released in 2019. It's a beautiful rendition of this amazing song!!
Keep on keeping on my man! You have so, SO much to offer - especially to your kids! Cheers!
Agree!!
Seeing Steve in April. You should see him. Doing Foxtrot.
I was saying on the live chat i saw Genesis when I was 15 but I was drinking then and missed most of the concert despite being my favourite band. I am 35 years in recovery now. Hang in there buddy. Genesis will help. They brought me joy just when I needed it. Still do. Don't miss cinema show from here. ❤
That's amazing bro! Congratulations. I can only hope to get that far. I feel grateful for my 3 years of clear headedness lol I wouldn't trade it for anything. Glad to have you here my friend.
Great to witness your journey. Early Genesis is a major plus for enjoying it. Mind you it's so complex you can't afford to be out of it lol 😔
I was fortunate to see Firth of Fifth live in Cleveland, 1973. They were touring in support of Selling England by the Pound. I respect Seconds Out live, but without Gabriel it just doesn't work for me. The Hackett solo is pure brilliance. Banks piano intro (not on this video) is beyond genius. By the way, 51 years later and I still have the same reaction to this tune as you, Lee. Great reaction. God bless and peace and love to all. Stay groovy.
Pure magic is right. Also my favorite moment in music. Take care of yourself.
When I saw Steve Hackett play that guitar solo live last year it had the same impact on me too L33. Music drives our emotions Big time my friend !! 😍
Awesome ❤️❤️
Along with Yesshows and Supertramp ‘79 Paris, my favourite live album. It’s been a privilege to be along with journey my friend. Enjoy your life 👍
I am so glad to have you along for the fun bro! It's been an interesting ride from my first firth of fifth video to this second one. A lot has happened lol
Great live performance, great reaction. Much appreciated.
Great reaction again man, and glad you are back on track. It's brilliant live. Steve still absolutely kills this on his tours. There is a few vids on youtube where he does it with Live full Orchestra in London and Iceland, it has incredible power. As you mentioned Wind And Wuthering it's a brilliant record. The final suite of Unquiet Slumbers For The Sleepers/In That Quiet Earth/Afterglow beautifully bleed into each other. A recommendation is to hear Afterglow live, it always finished a medley of old songs and is just awesome when Phil goes from singing to a massive crescendo, and joins Chester to play the power outro. It is just amazing
Thank you so much bro I appreciate it 🙏 this song just brings it out of me. These guys are just fantastic. Studio, live, it doesn't matter. They always bring it and it's wonderful. The tears are worth it lol
I'll definitely check out the live with the orchestra one. That sounds awesome lol
You Have Your Own Special Way from Wind and Wuthering was my first favorite Genesis song. Their self titled album is my favorite LP by them tho
If you love "Firth of Fifth" as much as I do, the live version by Steve Hackett and his band (backed by a full orchestra) at the Royal Festival Hall, 2019, is a must see. No cutting corners in this one : Tony's keyboard intro is played note for note and of course, Hackett once again mesmerizes with his unforgettable solo. I hope you react to it one day. I promise you won't regret it! 👍
I was here first!🤣
@@pwethman1 Ooops, sorry I missed your comment...😳Ok, maybe if enough of us suggest that video, L33 will want to react to it. 😂 Ciao! 🐝
This Live album rivals all of the great ones from the 70's and should have had another disk. No disrespect to Peter but I love Phil singing. Awesome. Peace.
So glad you listened to this Lee, it is truly magnificent. I remember when the album was released in '77 I played this relentlessly for years, the power & the majesty of their playing, like you the middle instrumental section from Tony & Steve doubling on the flute solo section, Tony's beautiful synth solo to Steve's phenomenal guitar solo section with the mellotron, bass pedals & drums all coming together with such climactic power is one of the greatest moments in recorded live prog history. Do yourself a BIG favour & listen to Cinema show from Seconds out, another live gem! Cheers
Saw the Tour in Boston. Spectacular 🎉 Keep on keep'n on 🤙.
You can bet if Phil is not singing he is on the drums.
Never apologize foe music that moves you or affects you in any way. It's supposed to. This album, Queen Live Killers and the first 2 RUSH live albums are epic. I probably know every note. Keep these coming.
You need to get around to the _Second's Out_ version of "Supper's Ready" one day. A very powerful rendition in every aspic.
You should do a reaction to the Steve Hackett live version with Orchestra it's brilliant Nad Sylvan on vocals
I have an emotional response to this song but it's based on joy at its beauty. Steve is wonderful and Phil and Chester kick ass.
Here, Chester is playing a Pearl fiberglass concert tom kit. He and Phil with his Premiers mesh beautifully. Hope you have happiness , and you do a fine job setting up and reacting to so many of my favorites. I'm a drummer as well, and enjoy how open you are. I was an alcoholic during the losses of both parents in 2 months time. Eventually, a hypnotist/counselor helped me to ask myself, "what's next?". Peace to you Brother. Roger
Yeah the middle section with them both playing was drummers heaven. These guys play wonderfully off each other. I loved hearing the changes from studio to live. Great to have you here my friend! Thank you so much
Chester cut his teeth in Weather Report and Zappa so we expect nothing less from him 😀🥁
And yes, the two of them together is drum heaven
My pleasure.@@L33Reacts
YES! Great pick
Very nice. caught the group around that time period. Saw them play Baltimore, Chester's home town, 77. Wonderful year for me. I was teaching art at the time. Phil did a lot of duel drumming with Chester. brought the house down. It was totally worth a hour and a half drive each way, missed Peter on the flute. and vocal. Wind and Withering is a melencholy themed album. I like Duke as one of the best post Gabrial Genesis albums
Studio version and SO version... both are perfect, but this live version is more sweet, nostalgic and emotional.
L33, from W&W album, "One for the Vine", the trilogy that close the album, and "Blood of the Rooftops" wich is from another planet.
There's a video of them playing this song in Dallas on that tour.
I often say that Selling England and A Trick are my two Favourite albums, however Seconds Out is up there as well. It’s one of the best live albums by any band. It’s Genesis at their Prog peak with Steve still in the band. Cinema Show on this is better than the studio version, with Phil and Bill Bruford on drums. Phil will always get back on the drums when he can. During the instrumental on Firth of Fifth, that is Chester and Phil playing together. Love your reaction to this.
So glad you enjoyed it my friend. I thought I'd finally listen to a live version of this since it was so special when I first heard it. And I wasn't let down. This was amazing. Thank you for watching as always 🙏
With all due respect to Chester, I think that is Phil killin' it on drums. And as Steve kills it on guitar, Mike is tearing up the bass, true. Love how he weaves a counter melody so solidly.
It's both of them at points. But, Chester while Phil is singing, is all him. According to another commenter he hops in when the flute section starts.
There are no words to describe this work.
Its very hard to come up with something to say after being hit by the car that is that solo.
Sorry but i like the original with Peter ! give me a live with peter ! I saw that live in concert in Montreal in 1974 ! lol !😎
steve is magical
I agree with you as to how this composition really hits you emotionally I think it’s so moving and it’s one of the best guitar solos ever combined with Tony’s into. Always happy to hear this at any time because it’s a masterpiece- and I am a true Tull freak as you should know from my comments of your Tull reviews. I just want you to know that I love other bands Rush is my second favorite and then Yes,Genesis, and Pink Floyd. I just discovered an indigenous music band called Otyken from Siberia and they are incredible and I think you would like what they do. I await your response to this group. Check out their pro videos before looking at their live show
you should take a trip. visit Epping Forest. head north and gaze over the Firth of Forth. reflect on the river of constant change.
The airport runway lights concert. I was there.
My favourite, closely followed by Burning Rope off ATTW3. I missed Tony Banks classical piano intro though!
Have always loved this version though I would have liked Steve’s guitar higher in the mix. Still magic as is. Phil and Chester both on drums always made me go crazy at concerts. There are some UA-cam’s of this.
Thanks for this. It has been a long time since I listened to the Seconds Out "LIVE" version. I noticed the differences now. Mike's bass is a lot more clear, and I think I even prefer Chester's drums, although I'm sure Phil was joining him in the instrumental section. Sounds like Tony decided to replace the piano with electric piano, but it still sounds cool. Steve's guitar solo is magnificent as ever. I agree with you that Firth of Fifth is one of the most KILLER prog songs of all time. Thanks for the review, and I'm glad that, personally, you are in a better place. 😎😎 It'll be cool to do "Wind and Wuthering". It has one of my favourite songs, "Blood on the Rooftops" which has some brilliant accoustic guitar by Steve Hackett! 🙂🙂
It's very cool how the drums were tripping the beat
Isn't it really time for Ayreon: the 6th extinction, Live Tilburg 2023..?...I think it is.....
Check out 3 sides live "Dodo".
Love your channel.
JT
It’s Phil that’s killing it lol, long instrumentals are always Phil live, occasionally there will be another drummer keeping the tempo going or doing percussion
