| The album is exciting. Steve Hacette touring the album, and so, old Genesis tunes, is even more exciting. Hope he finds his way around here... more interesting than going to a Genesis or Peter Gabriel concert nowdays (at leas for me, who wasn't around when those songs were toured in their own day). |

If one thing's for sure, it's that Steve Hackett is and has always been
an extremely dedicated musician. He just keeps on going, and I can't say
I mind.

I loved the first Genesis Revisited. It refired my interest in Steve Hackett. I also think it sparked Steve off and rekindled his career. Looking forward to this. ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/Snow_Dog" rel="nofollow">

This doesn't surprise me at all. Even back in the 80s Nik Kershaw's albums were clearly very prog-influenced. Just have a listen. I know for certain that Steven Wilson was a fan too.

Hello everybody! Indeed this is an intriguing story and I am utterly excited about it. But I must stress that no tour has been set and is only on a discussion level. Indeed I was a bit hasty. My misstake! I have merely been asked if I would be interested to join, if a tour is to follow the record release. And, of course I have said yes. Still, the Isle of Wight thing is definitely on. Please forgive me if I gave you too much to hope for so early on. Best regards, Nad ------------- Nad Sylvan www.unifaun-music.com |

Nad Sylvan seems a good singer and it could certainly be interesting to hear him sing some Genesis songs. With the voice he has, he could do a great job on Star of the Sirius too I think. But this guy ain't Peter Gabriel and it's certain it will be deceiving if we compare the songs to the originals. Wouldn't it be interesting if Steve Hackett hired Cyrus to sing some old Genesis though. ------------- La victoire est éphémère mais la gloire est éternelle! - Napoléon Bonaparte |

I wish Steve would handle all the vocals himself now and make the songs fit around them. I think he sounded great on TFOS when he wasn't using the voice changer. ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

I agree, specially after listening SQUACKETT and what a great work Steve did. The merit of Genesis Revisited is that nobody tries to sound like Peter Gabriel or Tony Banks, Steve created a new and fresh sound that would never be compared with the original versions, if he adds a singer that tries to sound like Gabriel, would loose the special and unique Hackett sound. So if Steve or any other good singer can imprint a new personality to the old masterpieces, i would be more pleased. Iván -------------

STEVE HACKETT : GENESIS REVISITED II UPDATE The limited blue vinyl 4LP + 2CD edition of Genesis Revisited II has now totally sold out. However, the black vinyl version of the 4LP + 2CD set is now available to pre-order, as is the 2CD mediabook edition. ... and remember all orders for Genesis Revisited II on LP or CD placed via HackettSongs on or before 23rd October will be autographed by Steve and qualify for a £5 discount on the new GRII design t-shirt.  LIMITED EDITION GENESIS VINYL RELEASES November 5th will see the release of two very special limited edition Genesis vinyl sets ... GENESIS : SECONDS OUT 35TH ANNIVERSARY HEAVYWEIGHT VINYL LIMITED EDITION 35 years after it was originally released one of the greatest live albums of all time gets a very limited re-issue on heavyweight double vinyl. Recorded in Paris in 1976 (on the A Trick Of The Tail Tour) and 1977 (on the Wind And Wuthering tour) it features the band at what many fans believe was their absolute peak. Remixed & remastered by Nick Davis in 2009 with input from the band the 35th Anniversary Vinyl Edition sounds better than ever. The initial allocation of this release sold out in just a few days but Hackettsongs are pleased to announce that they have managed to secure some extra copies. These are also likely to sell very quickly, so please pre-order ASAP to avoid disappointment. Steve will autograph all copies pre-ordered via HackettSongs.  GENESIS : 1976-1982 LIMITED EDITION VINYL BOX SET The Hackettsongs team have also managed to secure some copies of the limited edition Genesis 1976-1982 5 album vinyl box set. This beautiful set features the albums A Trick Of The Tail, Wind & Wuthering, ... And Then There Were Three, Duke and Abacab all remixed & remastered by Nick Davies with input from the band and pressed on heavyweight audiophile vinyl. Anyone fortunate enough to have a copy of the previous 1970-1975 vinyl set will know how good these pressings sound. This release will be in very limited supply, so pre-ordering is essential.

I'm sorry to hear that. It is so infuriating, and unnecessary in this day and age when content gets restricted in certain countries like this. A fair few YouTube vids wont play in the UK because of licensing issues, and streaming content from several US and European music sites isn't playable either. Even Spotify doesn't work everywhere in the World yet, which is a nuisance for some folks who regularly use progarchives.

The tour will be a special production and something of a departure from his recent live shows. "This will mark the first time any original former member of Genesis has toured the band's repertoire solely from the 1971 - 1977 period and will comprise songs co-written by Steve from that period, including such classics as Supper's Ready, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and The Musical Box. The line-up will feature the addition of Nad Sylvan as principal vocalist on several songs. The tour will commence in the US in early March and reach the UK in May 2013. For anyone who was a fan of Genesis, this will be a 'must see' event." Steve Hackett - guitar and vocals
Roger King - keyboards Gary O'Toole - drums and vocals Lee Pomeroy - bass guitar and vocals Rob Townsend - brass and woodwind With Nad Sylvan as principal vocalist on several songs. Message from Amanda Lehmann... "Regrettably I have decided not to join Steve Hackett and the band for the Genesis Revisited World tour... due to both illness in the family and the fact that I don't feel right about being away from my son for extended periods of time (and this tour is going to be a looooong one!!). I will be making appearances at some of the shows... watch this space! All being well, I'll be returning to the band in 2014." No mention on Steve's website about any added orchestra, but I'll try to find out more... |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxKex81WA0A" rel="nofollow - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxKex81WA0A This instrumental project was born of our friendship and the same incurable and inextinguishable love of classical and progressive rock music. Between the two genres there exists a continuum of sound – who can say where one ends and the other begins?
With this intention we have chosen some of the masterpieces of progressive rock music. Friends and family, Steve Hackett, Dave Jackson and Giorgio Gabriel, did us the honour of accepting our proposal to perform all the pieces in new, interesting ways. These are fresh interpretations, in a way close to the performance of classical music without drums and vocals. The core of our idea is to give a place of honour to progressive rock music on the same level as the works of the great classical composers. Progressive rock lyrics have often drawn on elements of myth and fantasy, so we have also included some new pieces inspired by the literature of JRR Tolkien. What more can we say? Listen and enjoy! (Marco Lo Muscio, John Hackett and Carlo Matteucci)
