Genesis legend Steve Hackett on Good Day Rochester

[@lucashoffmannn]

The interviewer sounds so happy to be talking to Steve. Great interview

[@pumpkinhold]

It's surprising when somebody from a regular news show can pull an interview off, with a musician who is not exactly a mainstream bloke everybody knows. Dan did a great job here with both the questions, and with allowing Steve to answer uninterrupted. Thanks for posting this.

[@criskatan]

Yeah, and Steve is such a pleasant chap, anyway. Always makes for a great interview.

[@Annastasia666]

Ok this news dude is killing me! Love him-he must be a fan because he is very jazzed when talking about Genesis and the rest of the band. We need more news dudes like him. AND HELL YEAH FOR STEVE HACKETT! His shows are top notch. I have looooots of feels watching this interview. Excellent questions and even better answers. You ROCK Mr. News Dude 😍

[@m14butch]

Going to see him here in NC on Oct 24.....!!!

[@Tomanot9Juanma]

Hi there from Spain. If you´ve never been to one of his shows, you´re going to be pleasantly surprised. It´s going to be something huge. I´ve seen them twice: once in Barcelona and last June in Madrid, the very same show you´re going to watch. Unbelievable!

[@Queen_of_maybe]

Grateful to Steve for his music, for life ❤

[@walterpoluzzi9846]

Queen of Maybe ?? Wow....this bring me back to "Selling England by the Pound". Your nickname is great, compliments.

[@Queen_of_maybe]

@@walterpoluzzi9846 Thanks! That song changed my life.

[@jimdenogean2217]

Thank you Steve for making are music world a better place cheers Mate

[@moonmothman]

I’ve watched a few of the steve Hackett interviews and this is probably the best. Dan did a great job. Well done, you’ve got a great guy there. Steve can be a bit reticent to talk too much but those were really intelligent questions and Dan came across as genuinely interested and enthusiastic which is unusual given the gulf in ages between them.

[@paulm749]

Either Dan is a genuine Genesis fan and/or he did his homework in preparation for this interview. Well done! Just a side note, but I would love to hear Steve perform White Mountain again as a tribute to Anthony Phillips and the earlier incarnation of Genesis prior to his own joining. White Mountain was definitely one of the highlights of the Trick of the Tail tour I was fortunate enough to see back in 1976.

[@donaldanderson6604]

Totally agree about White Mountain. I was at Hammersmith Odeon, six rows from the front. Did you get the flying daffodils during Willow Farm?

[@williamreichold1545]

Was a great show! He and the entire Band graciously autographed my program as well. Steve is an exceptional Guitarist and one of my favorites with Gilmour, Howe, Lifeson.

[@gregjordan7429]

How was the soil?

Great interview Dan! Steve was again considerate and informative with his responses to some great questions. I have been listening to him and Genesis for over 50 years and still get to rock to their music. Thanks Dan & Steve for this 🎼🎵🎶🎸

[@jwall3873]

Saw Steve 3 days after the Rochester show in Albany... All I can say is, spectacular... I didn't want the show to stop! As an old Genesis head, I was in my element, as was the whole crowd, and I think Steve and the band felt the embracing warmth of the crowd!! I'm glad Steve is playing the great songs, and playing them extremely well!

[@robertjewell9727]

Great interview, Dan. Your questions were creative and brought up all the right details.

[@simonlloyd100]

Steve is a superb modest incredibly hard working musician...long may he reign

[@jerryhilditch5991]

An all time great guitarist and general good guy. Watched him a couple of years ago, epic concert.

[@lastditchefforts]

Saw tour in Milwaukee 23 and Minneapolis and Madison in 24. Amazing shows. This is a very good interview.

[@jt3sd]

very impressive newcaster interview - and the show was AMAZING ( San Diego )

[@walterpoluzzi9846]

I started listening to Genesis when i was thirteen ( 1977) and i am still listening to them. I hope Steve will come to Italy. Thank you Steve for the wonderful music you created . I saw you live three times but it's never enough !!

[@billjones8503]

Love to see Hackett!

[@moontan91]

i was there in Montreal in October. what a show that was!

[@arthurmee]

Love Steve ever since I first heard him in November 1972 when I bought my copy of Foxtrot.

[@andyman0231]

Steve Keeping The Old Genesis alive

[@megasoid]

This was a very good interview considering the source. I saw this tour which was fantastic.

[@donaldanderson6604]

So nice to hear the Ritchie Havens tribute. I heard him open for Genesis in 1977 in London. His singing on Please Don't Touch is awesome.

[@garyvanremortel5218]

I saw Richie Havens at the Warehouse in New Orleans back in 1970.

[@Raiiman]

as a Genesis Fan since I´ve heard my first Album it´s called Seconds Live from 1977, I would say every Titel is devinentley "Timeless" Musice 🎼🎵🎶 Thank You dear Steve -Greatings from Cologne, Germany ⛪ ❣💌

[@FFurney1]

Great interview

[@garyvanremortel5218]

We saw Steve with Genesis in the '70s at the Berkeley Community Theater and at the Cabaret in San Jose back in the '90s.

[@davebellamy4867]

Legend.

[@williamholloway2564]

Steve Hackett now has the mantle of top 5 greatest living guitarists. A Rock Hall Royal.

[@yigit_tky]

Legend

[@latheofheaven1017]

I've seen Steve's Selling England and Seconds Out tours, have missed this one, but am looking forward hugely to the Trick of the Tail Tour, whenever that happens!

[@glenesis]

Ok, subbed! Thanks for this!

[@josegabriellugo]

What a Humble and great musician

[@Mr.S369]

I don't think Dan is faking any exuberance here. Priceless!

[@MizMite2002]

The 75 Genesis trio of Hackett, Rutherford and Collins. nice one Steve.

[@jamestomkin8784]

Saw the Wind and Wuthering tour here at thr War Memorial and he played zt the old Harro East once in 80s.

[@505LandOfEntrapment]

I think of Steve Hackett way before Genesis! Yep, he and Steve Howe were a part of the YES band! And later on the sounds of YES in their created band GTR!!! When The Heart Rules The Mind on that ole MTV!!

[@lindajankowski1081]

See you in Los Angeles, Mr. Hackett. Happy tour. Squeeeee! Fox Trot!!!! ✌️✨️🫶

[@JRM---516]

Dan obviously did a fantastic job interviewing Steve.

[@wowoisworo8360]

❤🎉

[@thelyricologist9568]

I wonder: if John Lennon said Genesis were children of The Beatles, would The Beatles play progressive rock if they continued into the seventies? 🙂

[@hubbsllc]

Yes. I think the Beatles were turning out proto-prog in their last years and guys like Hackett were listening carefully.

[@Deelystaniel]

Well I’ll be damned, that’s decoy Dan !

[@criskatan]

I think that it was good, though, for Steve to get away from those other guys in Genesis!!

[@criskatan]

The thing about Steve is that he's like the old school aristocracy that would go through their towns and villages looking for real talent to promote from among the craftsmen and woodworkers. Whereas nowadays they just promote their own talentless children. Simon Cowell is along the same lines in that regard, because he too looks for real talent to promote.
