I think you have a very "pictorial" ear. Your words convey the images and atmospheres of the music very well. You're one of the few of your kind to do it with accuracy and sensitivity. And you obviously do your homework beforehand. You know what you're talking about and you do it admirably. Well done.
Gary O’Toole is super underrated . He is one hellova drummer.
Truth!
He does well singing "Blood on the Rooftops".
I've seen Steve Hackett live twice now. This song has to be experienced live in order to appreciate it powerful majesty. Those bass pedals increasing in intensity makes the room thunder so much you can feel them!
When I went to see him, this is what they played before the intermission. I swear, I was still feeling those pedals when I was in the restroom!
Having seen Steve many times this is always one of the highlights of the show. The relentless second part of this is just so powerful. Voyage Of The Acolyte is nearly 50 years old and this still stands up so well. Nick Beggs going crazy here on the bass pedals too adds to its power. This was one of the pieces of music that was put forward to Genesis and was rejected. It was co-written by Mike, it has that wonderful pure 70s authentic prog presence about it and is always superb. Great to see you enjoying it so much.
Ahhhh so Mike was apart of this. I guess that's where the bass pedals came from?? They sounded amazing lol 😆 this track was fantastic. How could they have rejected this lol
Hmm, rejected by Genesis or rejected by a member of Genesis, I have to wonder.
Yeah Mike co-wrote it with Hackett @@L33Reacts
@@steeleye2112 Phil was interviewed I think about the WAW album and said Steve was writing a lot of music, but they didn't like what he was bringing in. Tony it seemed was the main reason Steve couldn't get the music on the records.
@@steeleye2112 ua-cam.com/video/_JeFNBjsXoI/v-deo.html in this interview from 3.00mins to about 3.30mins Phil says they didn't like what Steve was bringing in, and from 6.30mins to 7.30mins you get Steve's perspective.
That dude on the ground is playing the bass notes on a moog Taurus pedal
I believe his name is Nick Beggs.
@@charleswagner2984 yes it's Nick Beggs and he became wellknown with Kajagoogoo in the 80ies.
Steve writes some amazingly powerful stuff. Been seeing Steve live since the 30th June 1980 at The London Hammersmith Oden (Spectral Mornings Tour). Been mindblown ever since. :)
This is off the first solo album "Voyage of the Acolyte" so on the studio version is Phil Collins on Drums / Mike Rutherford Bass & Pedals / Steve Hackett Guitars / Sally Oldfied Vocals etc... This track is actually co-written by Steve & Mike. Would have been an incredible Genesis track but they kept rejecting so many amazing offerings!
Yeah this was absolutely incredible work. I was breathless at points! Such great work
@@L33ReactsNow that you've seen the amazing Amanda Lehman sing this amazing song, you must listen to the original from Voyage Of The Acolyte featuring Phil Collins and Mike Rutherford with the pristine elegance by Sally Oldfield, who delivers the finest vocal track I've ever heard. Annie Haslam is the greatest female vocalist. But Sally tops Annie on Shadow Of The Hierophant.
@@L33ReactsShadow is written by Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford while recording A Trick Of The Tail. Thank God that Genesis didn't record it. Sally Oldfield sang it on Voyage Of The Acolyte. No one could sing it better than Sally.
Steve Hackett’s body of work proves abundantly just what Genesis lost when he left.
I’ve seen Steve Hackett live 5 or 6 times. He’s a brilliant genius 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
The man on the floor was playing bass pedals. He is Nick Beggs. He is one of the best bass players actually. He played a lot with Steve Wilson. But you may have heard a song called Too Shy, by Kajagoogoo (from 1982), he was on bass (aged 21 then).
On the album Voyage of the Acolyte. The singer was Sally Oldfield, Mike Oldfields sister. He is the one who created Tubular Bells.
Sally is at her best on that song.
The live version should be Amanda Lehman ,who is Steve 's sister in law.
...and Amanda sings great too!@@jamestejada3673
So happy I was there that night to see it. If you think it's powerful on video, you should hear it at concert volume.
Nick Begg is playing Moog Taurus bass pedals on the floor and they are providing the massive bass sound. Normally played with the feet. Genesis and Rush used them too.
I was there that night too. Sounded incredible
Yes. To stay it was loud is an understatement. What a show!
Damn you are lucky! I really want to catch this live. I bet the sound is just incredible. I could hear and feel it just from My chair. I can't imagine how great it was live 😉
One of those songs that always hits right there in the feels. I'd be in tears in that audience I fear
Been waiting a long time for someone to react to this....Thank you!!! Have seen Steve perform this several times at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles....Nothing like that power, live!
With Peace and Love to all! (Michael)
Bro this is absolute stunning .... my tears goes down, so gorgeous!
I was at this gig and it was definitely the high point of an astonishing evening. It was called Wuthering Nights and featured lots of the W+W album.
John Hackett was also there so it was a real family occasion.
Saw Steve's band perform this at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville last year. It was the loudest I have ever heard anything in those hallowed halls---literally shaking the foundations. But it was incredibly crisp and clear despite the aural attack. So powerful.
those bass pedals rattled the whole concert hall, SOOOO LOUD
Nick Beggs
This was one of the loudest songs I've ever heard in concert. Long time Genesis fan . Great reaction
This was one I was going to recommend myself. Glad you got to it! I think this live rendition is even more powerful than the studio version.

Gary O' Toole -:absolutely amazing drummer 😮..
An updated Bach Fugue. This Song was Nuts Live. I never heard it before until I saw it performed Live at Berkeley's U.C. Theater in 2017 or 2018. Live, it sounded like Hackett's Notes were being played Backward. Think Ripples.
Nick Beggs is one the best bassists around.
haunting / sweet / melodic / powerful / beautiful
So happy for Steve. Getting the accolades he so richly deserves. Sad he left Genesis but for him, the best move. Thanks for sharing
Yeah he deserves every last crumb of success that comes his way. His work has honestly connected with me on a spiritual level. The sounds he creates are otherworldly
Cool as this is, no video can compare to actually experiencing this live in the theater. The gradual, constantly building crescendo at the end makes it feel as though the very walls of the theater are breathing/vibrating.
The bass player is on the ground playing a bass pedal. It's similar to an organ pedal board. It was used a lot by Mike Rutherford in the early Genesis albums!
Hey, L33. That guy doing stuff on the ground is Nick Beggs (bass player) playing the Taurus bass pedals. Normally played with your feet, but if you've got nothing else to do, why not your fists? :)
When I saw Steve Hackett back in the day, his brother John played the bass pedals with his hands. They were mounted on a keyboard stand.
Great reaction- This has to be experienced live, towards the end the whole auditorium was shaking, breathtaking.
Thank you I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed. I bet it was. I would love to see this live. I bet it's earth shattering!
Thanks thanks for giving this piece of listen. And calling out the different instruments. I tend to listen to these pieces as a whole but always am able to suss out hackett's guitar work, the flute and the keyboards. But your commentary has me listening more closely to the bass and the drums. I love all of Hackett's works and all of his revisits to the monumental catalog of original Genesis pieces. I too have met the man, and he is so humble add feels that there can be some peace in the world. If you haven't gone to see him in concert, what are you waiting for?😂 He'll never disappoint. I've seen him over 10 times and every time is spectacular. !
In my opinion, having seen Steve more than ten times, this is THE best live version ever from Shadow of the Hierophant.
If you ever have the chance to see Hackett live, you simply must. He is timeless! His playing now is even more amazing than during his Genesis days; the feeling he combines with incredible technical wizardry is astonishing
Epic performance. And THAT! is the way to edit a live performance! Not to mention that vocalist makes me feel all melty. 😊😅
Absolutely epic!! Felt like I climbed a mountain by the end.
@@L33Reacts oh, and btw, love the Frazetta print over your shoulder.
Amanda is also Steve's Sister-In-Law.
Yes, Amanda Lehman is married to John Hackett, Steve's brother....
Steve Hackett's touring North America this year. If he comes near you do not miss him. His band and show is magnificent.
This is the right path.
the air in your lungs vibrates with the bass pedals
there is a motorhead concert, and then there is 'the bass pedals from shadow of the heirophant'..... WOW
This tune was composed around the time of Foxtrot from Genesis. The group didn't retain it for the album. Hackett used it on his first solo album.
his track everydays, is like comfortably numb in the way its half song, half guitar solo that blows your boobs off
Seen Steve several times in recent years and he and his band are excellent musicians. You will not regret seeing him the next time he plays in your area. My favorite era of Genesis was the Steve Hackett era…..
My favorite solo Hackett song... just a perfect cinematic build up and climax. Voyage of the Acolyte is such a tremendous album from beginning to end.
All the best!
top song top LP top guitarist
Steve really was part of Genesis' soul, and his solo stuff has some of the most brilliant musicianship in rock music! Although this is from Steve's first solo album, The Voyage of the Acolyte, imho this live version is the definitive version!
Steve's current drummer Craig Blundell is an excellent player, but I do miss Gary O'Toole. Also, re: Nick B playing the bass pedals with his hands, Steve's brother John would do the same thing on Steve's early solo tours. Heck, Jon Anderson used to do it on the Yes Album tour in 1971 (as seen in the Beat Club video for "Yours Is No Disgrace").
The original vocalist on the studio version was Sally Oldfield, sister of Mike Oldfield.
Album got my through my finals at art school. Got the whole glass into it 😎
Saw Steve and the lads in 2018 and they are returning in APRIL to Mexico City for the Foxtrot tour. You have to be in the theater to appreciate the power and the glory of Hierophant because of its growing forte dynamic. It is visceral and damned emotional. Steve puts more emotion into every performance than most guitarists who can barely eek out a few emotional moments in their playing.
Drummers that hold a side grip always seem to know their rudiments really well. Great musicianship is so inspiring.
Seen this live so many times always a powerful first set closer. If Amanda is there you get the full version. She only guests on a few shows a year but nearly always the ones I attend.
As you may already know, flutist Rob Townsend was originally a drummer.
Yes. Gary O’Tool! And he has a great voice too. He sings “Blood on the Rooftops” for this Genesis Revisited group tha Steve Hackett put together.
Hackett band is AMAZING live.
Thanks Lee! Always enjoy your reactions and I'm happy to support you, your kids and your channel!
You're the best, brother. Thank you for everything ❤️
I can't imagine what Gabriel would have done with this song.
You are an amazing person.
Good things will come.
Ohh those Bass pedals!!!
On the orogonal studio album it was Phil Collins on drums and Mike Rutherford on bass and pedals.
Flute is played by Steve Hackett's brother, John
For a similar song by Steve that just keeps building listen to The Steppes from the Defector album. Like Shadow it is a magnificent piece to hear live. The Hierophant is a tarot card that is associated with the pope. Most of the songs on Voyage of the Acolyte are named for tarot cards. The lyrics are a mystery to me even after 50 years. Nice reaction.
I have seen this before but enjoyed watching it again with you on this video! Thanks! 😎😎❤❤👍👍
Glad you could enjoy it again! I thought it was amazing:)
Lee - The guy sitting down is actually playing the Bass Pedals..... Normally played with the feet to increase the bass density.... but as that was all he was doing he obviously decided to sit down on the stage to do it.. You know, these guys need a rest from time to time.... Keep on Rocking young sir...
I don't know if he still does it, but Gary O'Toole once gave drum lessons in his family's record shop in London.
Reminds me of the band “Renaissance “.
I am going to see Steve on Mar 24 at the Embassy Theater in Fort Wayne
The Guy on the Bass Pedals is Nick Beggs, played with Steven Wilson
Prog Rock forever!
Co-written by Mike Rutherford, back when Steve was still in Genesis, this is certainly one of the standouts from the first album (it's the one I remember best). And good on you for keeping on pushing forward with what you want to do!
I appreciate you always showing up bro! Thank you for watching. Mike definitely had a hand in this. The bass Is HUGE
As I say to everyone who sees this, get to a Hackett gig, at concert volume this is beyond belief.
There is another live version with full backing orchestra that you might like.
Hackett rules. There is a live version of this where Steven Wilson joins them on stage.
Is that a bass pedal in the last part, on the floor? Love it...Awesome!
Band's members, here we go: Steve Hackett, guitar; Roger King, keyboards; Nick Beggs, bass and moog taurus; Rob Townsend, flute; Amanda Lehman, voice; Gary O'Tool, drums. Jonas Reinghold and Craig Blundell replaced Beggs and O'toole two years later
That's Nick Beggs on the bass pedals. Check out the bass line to Too Shy by Kajagoogoo.
Hackett is magical on his own. This iteration of his live line-up was I think maybe the best. Gary O'Toole has been his drummer (and a pretty good singer too) many years, and even when he plays the Genesis songs you're not even aware phil collins isn't playing. Amanda, amazing. Nick Beggs.. look him up bro. Also a musician in his instrument's top tier. As, IMHO, is Roger King. You accidentally mentioned Nad Sylvan there, watch some of Hackett's live performances of early Genesis songs where Nad does the vocals. You'll be surprised.
Was written around time of Foxtrot this one I think and was proposed to the band to go on a Genesis album but did not get the nod.
Prog isn't dead, it just smells funny.
🤣🤣🤣that does seem to fit Here. Thanks for that one, zappa. 👍
This is prog rock at its best! Its midevil with the lyrics and it's apart of the genre!
I just looked at Craig Blundell photos, and I agree with you, doesn't look like him on drums for this gig.
09:05 - afaik, that guy is playing a Moog Taurus Bass Pedal Unit.
If this is Fire and Ice Video than than that is Nick Beggs
Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboys. Also, Someone Saved My Life.
Great song. Love it. One question - anyone ever heard of Pallas? Listen to this song of them: The last Angel. The last four minutes reminds me a lot Shadows of the Hierophant
The drummer is one of those who still uses "traditional grip". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grip_(percussion)
Thought you'd heard of that as a drummer.
The chick sing is 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah and so is her rig 👍🔥
Great take of this song. Btw, Phil Collins wrote the drum piece on the album, and Gary kills it here. Look up Nick Beggs. Incredible talent- they all our haha
Shit so Mike wrote the bass AND Phil did the drums originally??? So this basically is a genesis song lol
@@L33Reacts’Voyage’ is often referred to as the “Missing Genesis Album.”
@@L33ReactsSteve did his first solo album just after the Lamb tour and Mike and Phil helped. These songs weren't rejected by Genesis but a true solo composed tonbe solo.
Gary O'Toole is the drummer. Plus he can sing pretty good also!!
The song is from the first solo project from Genesis named Voyage Of Te Acolyte from 1975. The original drummer on Steve's album was Phil Collins. This song is not to be listened to if someone is recked out of their mind.
For this video : Steve Hackett : gtr - Amanda Lehmann : vocals gtr - Roger King : keys - Rob Townsend : wind instruments - Gary O'Toole : drums - Nick Beggs : bass and bass pedals. Gary can also sing quite well : ua-cam.com/video/MO_CX3ytvd4/v-deo.html&ab_channel=pirot
Nice Frazetta!
Quando chega a parte do caos sonoro mais lindo da Terra.
Amanda puts Beyonce,Adele etc to shame-real talent
Some songs grab you emotionally by the throat. This is one of them... Besides Amanda Lehmann, his sister-in-law, doing a beautiful rendition, also pay attention to the great bass guitar skills of Nick Betts. You know that bassist from the pop band Kajagoogoo, with that song Too Shy from the '80s.....
You have to see this live to “feel” the bass pedals on the last sequence ….man they’re loud
Nick Beggs of Kajagoogoo on Bass and Basspedals.
Nick is the man
Gary o’Tool drums
The guy on the floor is playing bass pedals

Please check out the Icelandic group Todmobile who have done many collaborations with top acts with amazing results.
First look at Awaken performed by them with Jon Anderson then do Firth of Fifth (Todmobile with Steve Hackett)
You won't be be disappointed.
Gary is a beast! Please check out INGENIOUS DEVICES - BIG BIG TRAIN best track EAST COAST RACER!
Check out early Uriah Heep🤓
I love the HackettSongs… Also Shadow.. But this women should not sing! She destroyed the spirit of „Ripples“
Yes, this is sooo wrong. It's not Amanda Lehmann's fault though. This song was written for Sally Oldfield who is a soprano. Lehmann is an alto, she can't reach those high notes without straining her voice. Lehmann is not at Sally Oldfield's level of course but very few singers are. She's still a very good singer when she can sing in a range she's comfortable with, just listen to "Memory Lane" for example.
He's playing a Mood Tayrus bass!
Just saw him play that in November in Los Angeles! Epic! @L33Reacts he tours extensively every year.. look it up, maybe your members can buy you a ticket? 🙂
