Morning all you prog rockers.
 
We went to see Hackett last night at the Colston Hall in Bristol.
The tour is being billed as "Genesis Revisited" which is the title of his 1996 album and there's now a 2012 album of the same name.
 
We were treated to two and a half hours of classic Genesis songs, all performed superbly by his band
 
I think I've managed to remember most of the songs, they are, in chronological order:
 
Nursery Cryme:
The Musical Box
The Return of the Giant Hogweed
The Fountain of Salmacis
 
Foxtrot:
Watcher of the Skies
Horizons
Supper Ready
 
Selling England By The Pound:
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)
Firth of Fifth
 
The Lamb Lies down on Broadway:
Fly on a Windshield
The Carpet Crawlers
 
A Trick of the Tail:
Dance on a Volcano
Los Endos
 
Wind & Wuthering:
Unquiet Slumbers for the Sleepers….
In That Quiet Earth
Afterglow
 
 
 
It was during Firth of Fifth that I noticed the Bass Guitar/12 string player was playing a right handed guitar upside down!
 
He was left handed but, just like me, plays with the strings the "wrong" way round.

Sounds like you really enjoyed must say I think I would have as well some of my favourite Genesis tunes in the list.

It was a great night John.
 
I really enjoyed listening to the crowd singing along to the opening bars of Suppers Ready

I've watched a few vids of this lately, sounds excellent. Was John Wetton singing?
 
Used to go to Colston Hall a lot when we lived near Cirencester, great little venue.

I'm not at all sure of the lineup, but there were 6 of them on stage, including a very tall blonde singer who sounded quite Gabriel-esque in his delivery.
 
It was definitely NOT John Wetton.

I checked Steve's web site--the only shows in the U.S. are in FLA and Atlanta.  All the rest of the tour is in Europe.

That would be the charmingly monikered 'Nad Sylvan' then.
 
How I actually know that is beyond me, seeing as apparently, I only like 'commercial top of the pops music'.
