STEVE HACKETT - Montreal concert
Genesis Revisited 2013 World Tour
Salle Wilfrid-Pelletier
Thursday, October 3, 2013, 8 p.m.
STEVE HACKETT is considered one of Britain's finest musicians and is best known as guitarist and composer with GENESIS during the classic rock period with Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, and Mike Rutherford. Between 1970 and 1977, HACKETT played on 6 of the band's studio albums: Nursery Cryme, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, A Trick of the Tail, and Wind & Wuthering; as well as 2 live albums: Genesis Live and Seconds Out. His guitar playing produced some of the fabled line-up's most memorable moments, including dramatic electric guitar solos (as in Firth of Fifth), as well as sensitive acoustic passages (as in Blood on the Rooftops).
Following GENESIS, HACKETT began an impressive solo career, releasing several highly-rated progressive rock albums including Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings. HACKETT also produced several award-winning, classically-oriented albums featuring the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, including A Midsummer's Night Dream and Genesis Revisited. His latest album, Genesis Revisited II, sees the guitarist reinterpreting the golden era of the great band, while also remaining true to the original spirit that produced such a remarkable string of timeless songs. HACKETT's Genesis Revisited electric concerts take fans on an extraordinary journey through his time in GENESIS and his progressive solo work, woven together by his distinctive and melodic guitar playing.
