Steve Hackett and Tony Banks have no idea that a guy in the remote town of India is addicted to their guitar and piano and blessing them for their music. This is the best thing about being an artist. This song has to be the greatest song ever.
The first time I met my now-husband’s brother, he asked me what kind of music I liked. I told him “a bunch of stuff you’ve never heard of, but I really love old Genesis.” He smiled, went over to their mom’s old piano, and played the intro to this song. We were buddies from then until the day he died. He would have loved this. Thank you.
@@SammyMakepeace As you said, 'arguably'. Dave Kilminster's version of Regret #9 (live) is simply brilliant... different to Guthrie's, but brilliant nonetheless. It's all subjective.
One of my best. Just a little slow though. I played a little music & god knows I listened that song a 1000 times. I'm listening while writing and... definitely slow.
@@Canalcoholic if there is a criticism of this performance, it's that the piano/keyboard intro which sets the pace, is slightly off tempo. Oh well, we are all 48 years older.
And even worse when you consider they were going to cut this out.. Playing it live Tony said he couldnt do it justice so they didn't want to play it... Ive heard Steve and co do this live in Brighton in 2019 and it was spectacular. My son who was 26 was blown away by the whole evening...
Steve doesn't get enough love for being as insanely great as he is. The guitar solo here is mesmerizing, haunting, beautiful and damn it I'm chopping onions again it seems.
I have seen Genesis 13 times and Hackett 7 times, just as recently as last year. Brought tears to my eyes then, just as now listening to that version. I really think think, for us old 70"s folks it reminds us of the best times of our lives as far as music goes. I can't wait to see him next year. Steve is vastly underrated an I think one of the best ever. Best song ever!
He is definitely one of the greatest guitar players ever, and is always criminally overlooked in any ranking of the "best guitarists of all time", nobody knows why! His mastery of the 6 strings is so undisputed! And because he is also a good soul, I think that in his modesty he doesn't care at all.
A whole orchestra for an instrumental break to lead into one of the finest guitar solos ever written on this earth. A well deserved honour for Steve Hackett and the most weeping guitar solo ever.
We all grow old eventually, not something you think about when your young. Music transcends age for me it's as fresh now at 60 as it was when I bought seconds out all those decades ago😁
Who can write like this today? The level of composition and musicianship has shrunk, compressed, into a infinitely small corrected space. Waiting for a big bang to happen again.
Tool can. Check out their song "Pneuma" If I think back over the past 50 years, I think theirs is a natural progression of what Genesis started. Just like Genesis' Selling England By The Pound it takes some getting used to, but the effort is rewarding
I don’t know how many times I have heard this masterpiece…. When I was a boy I loved to go to sleep with this music in my ears, now almost 60 it’s magic to hear that same feeling again … thank you Steve for keeping it alive
I used to cross the Firth of Forth on way to and from Aberdeen on the train listening to the Seconds Out version on my Walkman. Without fail. Timing it to get the instrumental while crossing. Back in 1988-1989. Then again across the much longer Tay Bridge for good measure.😂
This song is so emotionally gratifying for me and I'd say it's in stride with some of the great classical pieces of of our time. And this performance with the orchestra and contributing musicians did the song a great service. Oh yeah and I was entranced of course by the lovely wailing guitar solo.
Simply Awesome performance ! Thanks Steve Hacket for keeping the legend of Genesis alive for the younger generation to be aware of this incredible music.
46 years ago, I listened to that number for the first time and it was a massive shock to me. I had just discovered Genesis through one of their most beautiful songs ever. 46 years later, I am still speechless when listening to that piece, I feel the same things, an absolute masterpiece. Thanks Steve Hackett and your band and friends for keeping that music alive.
Yes, we are not alone. Still my most favorite music which gives me that overwhelming emotional overdrive. I am glad that Steve is still performing these outstanding pieces, because it is far too beautiful to hear it only on CD or mp3 nowadays.
Same for me , 47 years ago I heard this song for the first time , I had never heard such a beautiful music piece before. Greatest guitar solo ever, since then massive fan of Genesis and Steve Hackett
Possibly one of the best piece of music I've ever heard in my 64 years..that was 2 years ago when I made this comment and its definitely the best piece of music I've ever heard..definitely the best guitar solo by any guitarist ever..well those 64 years have some how become 67 years and it’s still the best piece of music I’ve ever heard..Steve and Nad are simply fantastic as are the whole band and orchestra..emotional for us that love real music..but then it’s my personal opinion
1959 here, and if it's not THE best, it's up in the stratosphere with a few other pieces where comparison becomes a folly based only on personal tastes.
I once went into local high class musical instrument store between college classes with my friend. He sat down at very expensive Yamaha grand piano and snobby store clerk would come our way clearly wondering what two scruffy students were up to but he stopped dead in his tracks as my friend confidently and perfectly played the intro to Firth of Fifth.
Me too. Throughout my life its been Genesis, Yes, and Floyd. Cannot pick a time in my life when a track doesn't pin point the time and emotion. I weep because of its effect on me, splendor, emotional and the greatest God has given all of us MUSIC
I have seen him (with Nad Sylvan on vocals) twice. And, in 2 weeks, I'm seeing him again. He is reprising Foxtrot.... which means I will get all 22 (ish) minutes of the greatest song ever written (in my opinion, of course).... Supper's Ready. I cannot wait.....
I used to live in Hinckley, but now in Italy. I saw Steve at Leicester Uni in 1978 on his Spectral Mornings tour. I was 17 at the time and After the show we bumped into him in Leicester. He was a Nice guy and stopped to talk to US.
@@dariodipietropaolo3557 Wow.... good on you! In Ithaca last week, I met (and shook hands with) Nad Sylvan. The gig was every bit as good I'd hoped, he always seems to end the first set with his Shadow of the Hierophant.... which must be one of the most astonishing piece of live music ever made.....
As soon as Nad started singing, I was scooped up and flung back to the late 70's where I played this piece non stop. Then Steve went into the soaring solo and I got a tear in my weary eye.... What a Beauty!!
Couldn't agree more with you VB. Sure says a lot about just how incredible this piece, and that album, were that it stands the test of time like any great Bach has.
When Genesis played this, Daryl Stuermer destroyed it, every time. His style is inappropriate for these and other early Genesis tracks. That's why, they don't play so much or never their early stuff. And since Steve left, they had to modify the guitar sound to suit their pop songs.😢
The opening and the closing piano solo of Tony Banks, the poetic lyric of Peter Gabriel, and solo guitar of Steve Hackett put this song in a different level since the beginning of time...
Nad has a knack of casually returning to the mic after an instrumental section at the precise second. I keep expecting him to miss it but he never does.
Yes, he doesn't linger about on stage in those long passages where there are no vocal parts. He respects the fact that Steve is now the star of the show instead of himself as the lead singer, unlike the situation back in the early Genesis days. Sylvan is a pro who knows how to come in right on count.
@@oscarorduz4036 I'd say there is a sliding scale of technical skill there Howe -> Hackett -> Gilmour. Beyond that they all have their own styles and not directly comparable.
We all love to hear and praise Steve Hackett for his wonderful Guitar playing on all these Genesis revival concerts. But so should we do so for all the rest of the players and singers. I cannot believe how good Roger King is on the keyboards. His timing as absolutely perfect. To me, the greatest bands and songs ever, always have a perfect synergy between the the keyboards and lead guitar players. They bounce off each other. Roger and Steve, certainly do!
How interesting .... I was going to comment that I thought the keyboard player was rubbish. He played all of the right notes in the right order .... but with zero feeling or intonation. Compared to the original intro which was moving beyond belief, this was a very poor second. I think the best performer was Nad on vocals ... I can't believe he isn't more famous.
Totally agree, man. Nad deserves serious accolades. The guy completely nails the phrasing let alone his incredible pipes. Plus he doesn’t need stage theatrics. Just meanders on and off stage because he can.
@@ogdennash2439 Agreed - he stumbles along. I think he's trying to do his own phrasing on the piece, but it doesn't work very well. Still a solid performance which doesn't detract too much from this wonderful piece of music.
I can't avoid imagining how Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Hendel and all greats pf centuries past would react to this song. I'm absolutely sure that it would bring tears to their eyes, and I don't exclude the possibility that some of them might have a heart attack.
This is so exquisite and exciting , majestic, even if you don't listen to classical music, this is the music to give you an appetite, you just go on a journey musically, i first listened to Genesis in l972, they are so arresting and magical, whomever plays their music will live forever, the orchestra embellishes and puts the icing on the cake! Terri Leckner, Montreal
On a side note, I once found this song on a karaoke machine. It was really hysterical watching the other people at the party wait for me to start singing.
the 70s were crazy. We had all these bands, Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, with some "educated" musicians. But the most interesting (to my taste) was what we called jazz-rock. Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Head Hunters, Gateway ( Jack Dejohnette dms). A lot of these jazz musicians were part of the Miles Davis' groups in the 60s and early 70s. Their music didn't age. It's not for ears accustomed to rap and four chords songs.
Progressive Rock my friend, rock bands between 1965-1982 used to experiment their music to another level, with complex rhythms, compositions, virtuoso play. And then Punk Music came to the scene to challenge these virtuoso players with simple, minimalist, compositions but very effective melodies (see ua-cam.com/video/BrcvwOkIWkA/v-deo.html). Punk rock won the battle with Progressive Rock. People want music that is catchy, simple, fun, easy to dance and hear, Progressive is contemplation, spiritual, like watching a landscape.That does that say about our society.
Steve Hackett is grandiose, and his band is stellar. Add in those strings, and the horns at the end… but let’s not forget the keyboards, that intro gets me every time. Steve is the spirit of Genesis the Prog band, Peter told the stories, and Tony is Einstein.
I'm 63 years old. When I was a kid I used to play this song on loop on my car stereo. Even today I listen to it and it gives me goosebumps. Wonderful Genesis era.
This is one of the best performances i see from Steve Hackett. I wish back the time of music with concept and story to tell. It is my youth remembering. Great for all time. Thank you Steve
Absolutely brilliant! I have been a Genesis fanatic for decades, and to this day, Classic Genesis is THE GREATEST Progressive Rock Band of all-time! Bar none! This song is yet one example of their musical mastery! The music from Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound (second best to....), The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, A Trick of the Tale, Wind and Wuthering, Seconds Out (THE Best Live Album EVER!), ...And Then There Were Three..., and lastly, Duke, were complete masterpieces! This is the definitive era of Genesis, and no band could ever top such an incredible library! I truly LOVE Classic Genesis!
Carnor - I couldn't have said it better myself. I first heard them with Lamb in 1975, backtracked through Selling England, Foxtrot and Nursery, then continued on to Duke. I was fortunate to see Genesis in concert in the mid 70s, then last year, I saw Steve in concert. Small venue, great music, just perfect. Needless to say, it was a special experience and brought back so many of my earliest musical memories.
This guitar masterpiece is THE antidote for 'shredding' which leaves me cold. The sustained notes are haunting. I learned this solo and never get tired of playing it. It is a lifesaver for me. And a suggestion- listen to Steve's solo album "Spectral Mornings" and the title track. It will sweep you away in the same lyrical way. I promise!!!
i dont get shredding aka soulless musical masturbation. I like when guitar serves as substitute for human voice, with weeping and crying tones. You can "sing" that solo in your head. My favorite rock guitarists are all melodic players not shredders, to name a few: David Gilmour, Andy Latimer, Steve Hackett, Steve Rothery of Marillion, Roine Stolt (TFK)
Reminds me of the times when we would sleep in front of the Montreal Forum, just to make sure are tickets were in the first 10 rows, just to see Hackett play!
Don't worry, it definitely will be, I've seen the set list. Steve ALWAYS plays this at his live shows, it's kind of his signature piece. I'm going to see him two weeks tomorrow. So looking forward to it - I bought the tickets nearly two years ago - bloody covid 😊
50 years ago I first learned what music was by listening to works like this. I'm 67 now and have yet to hear anything even close to being on the same scale as this. Thanks Rulie for the upload and a special thanks to Steve for working on and releasing this masterpiece.
Absolutely stunning! Always my favourite Genesis song, but this does it more than justice. I can only imagine being inside that hall & hearing this in all of its magnificence. Thank you for the excellent upload! It was truly a treat to behold!
Oh man, that's a very damn good point. If I had been there I would not have been able to control the chills down my spine. I'm just glad we have it here in UA-cam.
I really love Genesis and other prog rock bands. I'm just a teenager but I felt like I just transcended beyond all eras when the solo part hits. One day I'll be able to play the solo on my guitar.. 😵💫
The orchestra adds quite a fullness of sound to such a wonderful masterpiece of modern music, thanks to all and especially Steve Hackett for carrying on. Bravo!
I did not believe this song could be played more movingly than when I saw Genesis live but this wonderful, the guitar solo even more amazing than that time!
That's one of the best electric guitars I've ever seen. A customized gold top Les Paul with a tremolo system. The music is timeless. My favorite version is from Seconds Out. Just a totally epic prog rock masterpiece.
I've finally realised that I don't really care who is playing the music as long as it is played well; and this is played very well. A sign of a true classic. ...although Steve Hackett's playing really is something very special :)
I've been listening to this for nearly half a century, first saw it played live at Earls Court in 77,more recently at Fairfield Balls a few weeks ago and Steve's solo still gives me goosebumps. An astonishing piece of music
I bought a ticket to see Steve Hackett more than a year in advance of the scheduled event in Sydney. Then COVID19 intervened. It delayed the concert for 2 more years. Waiting for over 3 years between purchasing a ticket and seeing the concert seemed almost interminable. The concert was absolutely superb. I will never forget that night. Thanks Steve Hackett for continuing the memories of Genesis.
Rulie, I can’t thank you enough for this! Seeing Steve Hackett perform the number with the orchestra is just amazing! Thank you for uploading this!
Listening to this and seeing this creates always a good feeling !
Peter Van Den Bossche Don’t you mean a “Funny Feeling?” LOL

That guitar solo is quite simply the most heartbreakingly beautiful piece of music ever written
It is close. But try the slow (second) movement from Bach's Double Convert for violins.

I agree.
It's even better than Guthrie Govan's solo in Regret #9 (on Steven Wilson's Hand Cannot Erase)....

Yes, he doesn't linger about on stage in those long passages where there are no vocal parts. He respects the fact that Steve is now the star of the show instead of himself as the lead singer, unlike the situation back in the early Genesis days. Sylvan is a pro who knows how to come in right on count.
Seen genesis with Gabriel, and Collins , this is a masterpiece, thank god for Hackett, and you know it
Steve Hackett (and I must add Steve Howe) has certainly produced the most enigmatic sounds on guitar in the history of rock. Great concert!
Alongside David Gilmour, in my opinion
@@oscarorduz4036 I'd say there is a sliding scale of technical skill there Howe -> Hackett -> Gilmour.
Beyond that they all have their own styles and not directly comparable.
Close To The Edge and Gates Of Delirium have utterly insane guitar solos, it just boggles me that its even possible to play.
Have you ever checked out GTR? It had both Howe and Hackett in it. They didn’t get very far though..
@@hanreality.7266 Will do.
The amazing geniuses Tony Banks and Steve Hackett - both in their 20s. Astonishing.
God bless you for saving this and presenting it back to the world!
We all love to hear and praise Steve Hackett for his wonderful Guitar playing on all these Genesis revival concerts. But so should we do so for all the rest of the players and singers. I cannot believe how good Roger King is on the keyboards. His timing as absolutely perfect.
To me, the greatest bands and songs ever, always have a perfect synergy between the the keyboards and lead guitar players. They bounce off each other. Roger and Steve, certainly do!
How interesting .... I was going to comment that I thought the keyboard player was rubbish. He played all of the right notes in the right order .... but with zero feeling or intonation. Compared to the original intro which was moving beyond belief, this was a very poor second. I think the best performer was Nad on vocals ... I can't believe he isn't more famous.
Totally agree, man. Nad deserves serious accolades. The guy completely nails the phrasing let alone his incredible pipes. Plus he doesn’t need stage theatrics. Just meanders on and off stage because he can.
The piano’s been drinking.
@@ogdennash2439 Agreed - he stumbles along. I think he's trying to do his own phrasing on the piece, but it doesn't work very well. Still a solid performance which doesn't detract too much from this wonderful piece of music.
Real musicians making real music.
A lesson for all of the black so called musicians. . .the classical music of the future!
I´m a Genesis fan since ever....this song just always takes my breath....
I can't avoid imagining how Beethoven, Liszt, Chopin, Hendel and all greats pf centuries past would react to this song. I'm absolutely sure that it would bring tears to their eyes, and I don't exclude the possibility that some of them might have a heart attack.
This is so exquisite and exciting , majestic, even if you don't listen to classical music, this is the music to give you an appetite, you just go on a journey musically, i first listened to Genesis in l972, they are so arresting and magical, whomever plays their music will live forever, the orchestra embellishes and puts the icing on the cake! Terri Leckner, Montreal
On a side note, I once found this song on a karaoke machine. It was really hysterical watching the other people at the party wait for me to start singing.
Hahaha awestruck
Thanks Steve for carrying the Genesis legacy. Just absolutely perfect!!
You're right, buddy 👍
The greatest guitar solo ever
I'd say second best. Lunar Sea by Camel is my favourite.
Magic!!
Ice and Stationary Traveler by Camel are worth a listen. Lunar Sea already mentioned
Magic
Agreed! Simply brilliant!!
Best version yet. The orchestral touches lift it to another plane.
I heard this masterpiece more than 1000 times, according to browser history And Spotify this year.Iam going to continue 😂
Ive not listened to this in 19XX. Im 22. I discovered this half a year ago. And holy fuck. This is from another world.
Same bro
Quite right
the 70s were crazy. We had all these bands, Genesis, Yes, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Pink Floyd, with some "educated" musicians. But the most interesting (to my taste) was what we called jazz-rock. Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Frank Zappa, Weather Report, Head Hunters, Gateway ( Jack Dejohnette dms).
A lot of these jazz musicians were part of the Miles Davis' groups in the 60s and early 70s. Their music didn't age.
It's not for ears accustomed to rap and four chords songs.
Always welcome new generation!
Progressive Rock my friend, rock bands between 1965-1982 used to experiment their music to another level, with complex rhythms, compositions, virtuoso play. And then Punk Music came to the scene to challenge these virtuoso players with simple, minimalist, compositions but very effective melodies (see ua-cam.com/video/BrcvwOkIWkA/v-deo.html). Punk rock won the battle with Progressive Rock. People want music that is catchy, simple, fun, easy to dance and hear, Progressive is contemplation, spiritual, like watching a landscape.That does that say about our society.
The vocalist did a great job as well! What a voice! I really like this version. A wonderful performance by any measure!
the name of the singer, please
@@evagentile5808 Nad Sylvan. It's in the description...
@@fpereira77 tank you very much
Steve Hackett is grandiose, and his band is stellar. Add in those strings, and the horns at the end… but let’s not forget the keyboards, that intro gets me every time. Steve is the spirit of Genesis the Prog band, Peter told the stories, and Tony is Einstein.
Not forgetting the brilliance of (the peerless) Gary O'Toole on drums....
I'm 63 years old.
When I was a kid I used to play this song on loop on my car stereo.
Even today I listen to it and it gives me goosebumps.
Wonderful Genesis era.
This is one of the best performances i see from Steve Hackett. I wish back the time of music with concept and story to tell. It is my youth remembering. Great for all time. Thank you Steve
Perfection ~ From start to finish!!! Thank you for posting!!!!
Incredible music!
@@davidvaughan2882 Yes it is :)
MESMERIZING!!!💝
What Marcy said - Like
Absolutely brilliant! I have been a Genesis fanatic for decades, and to this day, Classic Genesis is THE GREATEST Progressive Rock Band of all-time! Bar none! This song is yet one example of their musical mastery! The music from Trespass, Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound (second best to....), The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, A Trick of the Tale, Wind and Wuthering, Seconds Out (THE Best Live Album EVER!), ...And Then There Were Three..., and lastly, Duke, were complete masterpieces! This is the definitive era of Genesis, and no band could ever top such an incredible library! I truly LOVE Classic Genesis!
Carnor - I couldn't have said it better myself. I first heard them with Lamb in 1975, backtracked through Selling England, Foxtrot and Nursery, then continued on to Duke. I was fortunate to see Genesis in concert in the mid 70s, then last year, I saw Steve in concert. Small venue, great music, just perfect. Needless to say, it was a special experience and brought back so many of my earliest musical memories.
After Hackett. Only duke was good.
I have spent so many great hours with them.Inexpressibly wonderful music.So much forgotten in the world of ubiquitous lie.
I am die hard fan of Pink Floyd but i also open another page for Genesis!
@@dsportsguy58 Go to Racing in A live 1979! A masterpiece
This guitar masterpiece is THE antidote for 'shredding' which leaves me cold. The sustained notes are haunting. I learned this solo and never get tired of playing it. It is a lifesaver for me. And a suggestion- listen to Steve's solo album "Spectral Mornings" and the title track. It will sweep you away in the same lyrical way. I promise!!!
i dont get shredding aka soulless musical masturbation. I like when guitar serves as substitute for human voice, with weeping and crying tones. You can "sing" that solo in your head. My favorite rock guitarists are all melodic players not shredders, to name a few: David Gilmour, Andy Latimer, Steve Hackett, Steve Rothery of Marillion, Roine Stolt (TFK)
Bu can you approach Steve's artistry?
Added to my music to listen list! Thanks!
@@juanv5375 Check out some of the other SH videos, Cinema Show, Musical Box, and Afterglow.
Spectral Mornings is a fantastic album indeed and I also know and love this Music for over 43 years!!!
I can guarantee many would agree that this sounds like a soundtrack to a movie playing in our minds as we listen.
one of the best songs of one of the best groups ever 😮😮😮
Perhaps one of the most beautiful songs ever written... Masterpiece..
Yet one of the most beautiful songs ever. Gotta be a genius to write such piece. Tony Banks is genius.
Reminds me of the times when we would sleep in front of the Montreal Forum, just to make sure are tickets were in the first 10 rows, just to see Hackett play!
“our tickets”, not “are tickets”
Meravigliosi!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Man it kills me how much that vocalist sounds so much like Greg Lake. Awesome video thanks!
When I travel to heaven I hope I'm allowed to take this tune with me to give comfort and joy on my journey.
I've actually requested my family play this piece at my funeral.
THAT GUITAR SOLO IS JUST FANTASTIC
Going to see Steve on Saturday in Edinburgh and I've got EVERYTHING crossed this gets played!!!
Don't worry, it definitely will be, I've seen the set list. Steve ALWAYS plays this at his live shows, it's kind of his signature piece. I'm going to see him two weeks tomorrow. So looking forward to it - I bought the tickets nearly two years ago - bloody covid 😊
Such a fantastic song. Music has devolved so much in my lifetime. IT is so refreshing to see music like this still performed.
50 years ago I first learned what music was by listening to works like this. I'm 67 now and have yet to hear anything even close to being on the same scale as this. Thanks Rulie for the upload and a special thanks to Steve for working on and releasing this masterpiece.
I agree. My favorite ever music Genisis and Steve. Love it. 40 years of the best music ❤
Who in their right mind would five this a thumb's down?!? What an absolutely brilliant performance. Thanks for uploading!
Still after all these years I am still in love with ‘that’ solo.
And he was about 22 or 23 when he first did it. Beyond my abilities.
Me too!
This rendition of "Firth of Fifth" is way up there...on par with "And You and I" by YES! Both Incredible Prog Masterpieces!
these are the two peaces I listen to the last months!
Absolutely!!!
ALL CLOSE TO THE EDGE AND AWAKEN/ TURN OF THE CENTURYARE JUST IN FRONT :-)
Absolutely stunning! Always my favourite Genesis song, but this does it more than justice. I can only imagine being inside that hall & hearing this in all of its magnificence. Thank you for the excellent upload! It was truly a treat to behold!
Oh man, that's a very damn good point. If I had been there I would not have been able to control the chills down my spine. I'm just glad we have it here in UA-cam.
that solo guitar every time makes my soul to cry, piece from heaven.
What a beautiful rendition of my favorite Genesis song !!! Impeccable !!!!
Listened FoF maybe more than 10k times since 1978. It is always the first time
Pesionade `~ Yep! l cant move on from the prog era! lts just TOO GOOD!
Yes!!!
Nailed it!!!!
More...
Moi aussi.
If i'd had An addiction.. it would certainly be the old Genesis songs. Okay, i admit... addicted.
Welcome to the club, 👍
Yeah, me too, old friend!!
WTF!!! I have goosebumps! This is the first time I hear something from Steve Hackett, wow
Thanks Steve for preserving Genesis classics, especially from those who were born later and never saw original act live
I really love Genesis and other prog rock bands. I'm just a teenager but I felt like I just transcended beyond all eras when the solo part hits. One day I'll be able to play the solo on my guitar.. 😵💫
Clearly, Steve Hackett, is the embodiment of Genesis. This shit is blowing me away, and I've been a life-long fan of Genesis!
Thinking the same....
What about Tony Banks?
@@shahaffiq5860 They're all great, but watch some solo Hackett stuff; he's incredible.
The orchestra adds quite a fullness of sound to such a wonderful masterpiece of modern music, thanks to all and especially Steve Hackett for carrying on. Bravo!
And thats why prog rock is still as popular now as its always been!
I did not believe this song could be played more movingly than when I saw Genesis live but this wonderful, the guitar solo even more amazing than that time!
That's one of the best electric guitars I've ever seen. A customized gold top Les Paul with a tremolo system. The music is timeless. My favorite version is from Seconds Out. Just a totally epic prog rock masterpiece.
I've finally realised that I don't really care who is playing the music as long as it is played well; and this is played very well. A sign of a true classic.
...although Steve Hackett's playing really is something very special :)
I've been listening to this for nearly half a century, first saw it played live at Earls Court in 77,more recently at Fairfield Balls a few weeks ago and Steve's solo still gives me goosebumps. An astonishing piece of music
How beautiful is Steve's tone, how intense his phrasing! A milestone not only in the history of rock but in music as a whole! Number One, Master!😍
I bought a ticket to see Steve Hackett more than a year in advance of the scheduled event in Sydney. Then COVID19 intervened. It delayed the concert for 2 more years. Waiting for over 3 years between purchasing a ticket and seeing the concert seemed almost interminable. The concert was absolutely superb. I will never forget that night. Thanks Steve Hackett for continuing the memories of Genesis.
I got to see him on Selling England tour, then Seconds Out got canceled cuz of Covid. Then saw him again, for Foxtrot at 50
Saw him on that same tour in Melbourne, was my first ever concert.
@matthew-1710 what album was he touring?
@@tookmynick Selling England by the Pound + Seconds Out
@@matthew-1710 you're LUCKY!! I so wanted to see Seconds Out!!!
