Was any recent stuff featured, I really like " Beyond the Shrouded Horizon" and his Chris Squire collaboration "Squackett"

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 saw Peter Gabriel and Yes at the Colston hall way back when.

Yeah i really like Squackett too, though it gets mixed reviews in a lot of places. UK prog is still on the up though, enjoyed Big BIg Train, Moon Safari, Haken, Blacklands and Steven Wilson's stuff this year - and can't wait for the Frost* double album coming next year!

He was left handed but, just like me, plays with the strings the "wrong" way round.

All through high school (grades 10-12 in my day) I played with a guy that played that way. Took me about 3 months to untrain my eye to a "normal player".

 enjoyed Big BIg Train

Dave Gregory's got a lot of prog going on right now, Tin Spirits are good too.

Hi,
 
While I have always liked Steve's work, and "Voyage of the Acolyte" is an album I love dearly, seeing the Genesis stuff revisited is not for me. I can see where getting a new audience to catch it is nice and all in all very appreciative of work the band did that so many ignored for a long time, but in the end, I am starting to lose the appreciation for a lot of this stuff, and the 35 years I have spent telling people how good it was.
 
I did like the Steve Hackett DVD that DOES have John Wetton singing, but while he is good, in general I do not care for him that much. And it goes all the way back to his FAMILY days, a band I love dearly!

It's one o'clock and time for lunch, dam di dam di dam

Hi,
 
I suppose that I would rather see Steve Hackett, than 95% of any classical bruhaha player that always shows up at the University that all professors think is the best there is. So, in this sense, I think that Steve is a lot better, and unlike many of these bruhaha players, he is playing original material, not rehashed crap that no one listens to anymore!

Of the remaining 5%, which classical bruhaha player would you go and see?

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.

Bristol_Jonesey . . . you guys in the UK are so lucky to be able to have concerts like this to go to, I had no idea that Steve Hackett and Genesis songs were still making the concert circuit scene ! They certainly haven't been around here in Canada much, at least that I've heard for many years. This concert you're talking about here would have been an absolute classic for us Canadian prog rockers to see.  Think I'll have to do some research and plan my next British vacation around something like this.
 
Anyways, I'm off to the basement now to dust off my "Wind and Wuthering" album jacket, and see if the turntable still works.
Cheers
