April third, 2024 at The Uptown Theater in Kansas Metropolis, MO
Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited 2024 North America Tour | FOXTROT at FIFTY + HACKETT HIGHLIGHTS
Steve Hackett and his band hit the Uptown Theater stage in Kansas Metropolis, Mo., April third, 2024. In contrast to most bands on tour today, as a substitute of a hits package deal. Hackett proved Prog Rock remains to be alive performing new music. Kicking off the “Hackett Highlights” of the 2024 Foxtrot At Fifty & Hackett Highlights Tour with a trio of recent songs from his newest album The Circus And The Nightwhale.
The appreciative viewers was then regaled with a number of extra songs from Hackett’s solo profession of over 30 albums. The band, Nad Sylvan (vocals), Roger King (keyboards), Rob Townsend (multi-instrumentalist), Jonas Reingold (bass) and Craig Blundell (drums), expertly wove their manner by means of fan-favorites and deep cuts like “On a regular basis,” and “The Satan’s Cathedral” earlier than ending the primary set with “Shadow of the Hierophant”.
Hackett joined Genesis in late 1970 and thru 1977 and his guitar sound was prominently featured by means of solos on “The Musical Field”, “The Return of the Large Hogweed” and “The Fountain of Salmacis”. He grew to become an early proponent of the guitar tapping approach usually attributed to Eddie Van Halen. Hackett claimed that Van Halen had instructed him that he realized the approach after attending a Genesis live performance within the mid-Nineteen Seventies.
After a short intermission, Genesis’ 2nd album Foxtrot was performed in its entirety, together with the 23-minute opus “Supper’s Prepared”, leaving the viewers breathless and a standing ovation. The 2 hour present ending with early Genesis faves “First Of Fifth” and “Los Endos.”
Secure to say, Progressive Rock is in good palms, so long as Steve Hackett continues to document new music and tour that includes early Genesis albums.
