STEVE HACKETT - GENESIS REVISITED 2020 SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND
Plus Spectral Mornings and new album highlights “… their arguable
high-water mark” All Music “the band’s most adventurous
album…” NME Steve Hackett, as the powerhouse guitarist for one of
the most important progressive rock bands ever, has been a guiding
influence for musicians and guitarists for over 40 years. Following
the one/two punch of “Nursery Cryme” & “Foxtrot”, both driven
by the muscular guitars of new member Steve Hackett, Genesis were
ready to launch what would become their finest album, “Selling
England By The Pound”. Easing back on the throttle marginally, and
immersing themselves in English whimsy and eccentricity, Genesis
delivered just under an hour of delicate prose, wondrous melodies and,
of course, the soaring leadlines of Steve Hackett. Finally, now, 47
years after the album’s release, Steve Hackett will be performing
“Selling England By The Pound” in full in a series of Australian
and New Zealand concerts. “I think (Genesis) really nailed the best
of what that band as an entity could have done with that album.”
Neil Peart (Rush) "… a complexity of tone that's pretty rare in any
kind of art." Robert Christgau “the definitive Genesis album” Fish
(formerly of Marillion) In addition, in celebration of the 40th
anniversary of its release, Steve will be performing his critically
acclaimed solo album “Spectral Mornings”. “Spectral Mornings is
a superb disc from one of the genre's all-time greatest
guitarists. Five stars!” Prog archives And if that’s not enough,
Steve will perform selections from his stunning new album “At The
Edge Of Light”, and may even be munificent enough to throw in
another couple of Genesis tunes. Steve’s exceptional debut
antipodean tour in 2017 left audiences stunned by the majestic
performances by Hackett and his virtuoso band. How do you top that?
Come witness the spectacle of Steve’s incendiary 2020’s shows to
see how it’s done. “I’m excited to bring my Genesis Revisited
show back to Australia and New Zealand. It was fantastic to play there
last time and to visit those amazing countries. This time will be a
special show, including the whole of Genesis album Selling England by
the Pound, celebrating my solo album Spectral Mornings 40th
anniversary, plus more! I can’t wait!” Steve Hackett For specific
