I'm retired now. We were blessed with so many great musicians and bands across so many genres in the 60's and 70's and 80's. Genesis was obviously one of those bands.

[@mjs502]

So happy you enjoyed it! But I knew you would 😜 Thanks so much for taking the time to react.

[@paravoxmusic9227]

GENESIS. BEST BAND EVER

[@dav264]

Absolutely one of the best Genesis songs by the genius Steve Hackett!

[@reneelyons6836]

GORGEOUS SONG!!

[@markfeggeler3479]

Hackett has often said Segovia was and still is one of his primary influences. A brilliant song from Hackett is Nomads. Moves from Flamenco to rock effortlessly.

[@mcolville]

I think his favorite guitarist was "What if Robert Fripp was Andrés Segovia?"

[@kevinrombouts3027]

I love your reaction. It is one of their greatest songs.

[@sanddab]

This has always been my favorite song from this album. The lushness and melancholy quality of it, along with it sounding oh so English.

[@bradhart6487]

The way you outwardly react to this song is exactly how it makes me feel inside, even after having listened to W&W so many times in my life. Their music from this era is really special.

[@justinhamill7608]

Exactly, I feel so much the same way.

[@montsevilella7972]

I love this album, I think it is clearly overlooked

[@MDElam]

Steve Hackett is one of the great progressive guitarists, and he's got classical chops too. Hi Sketches of Satie album, with his brother, John, on flute, is also worth checking out.

[@32ndBrother]

They do not use an orchestra, the keyboardist Anthony Banks is using an instrument called a Mellotron it is a keyboard instrument that uses actual prerecorded tapes of an orchestra. It is the first analog sampler. A very popular instrument used by all the early 70’s prog bands.

[@TheRKae]

Pointless trivia: Genesis bought their mellotron from King Crimson.

[@32ndBrother]

@@TheRKae yes! And I bought mine from musician’s exchange

[@rk41gator]

@@32ndBrother LOL

[@Jerry-dn5yw]

FINALLY, someone else knows that!

[@Jerry-dn5yw]

@@TheRKae Not pointless trivia! 👍

[@Kavala76]

Like I said in an earlier comment: "Blod on the Rooftops" and "Carpet Crawlers" are melodiously superb. Well worth a listen.

[@aleclewis9123]

Steve Hackett's versatility shines through not just on the stuff he did with Genesis, but also throughout his solo career, where he explores every style he came across from classical to world music, Americana to jazz, etc. A true progressive rock artist. 😊

[@stefynik]

And he’s a beautiful person too ❤

[@timothywolfe3891]

One of my favorite Genesis songs!!

[@Rolling_Ronnie]

Steve Hackett has done classical albums with his brother John on flute, such as 'Pieces of Satie' playing Erik Satie's work as well as a acoustic-based albums. He's one of the worlds greatest guitarists and still touring today.

[@rk41gator]

Good to know. I will have to look this up. Satie is marvelous.

[@vtec1959]

Steve Hackett plays “After The Ordeal” for you Jone Ruiz

[@Guido102]

No orchestra included, it’s the mellotron magic

[@user-kr8rk8ef8z]

Loved your reaction. This is one of my favourite Genesis tracks.

[@rk41gator]

Mine too.

[@Mr.MsSoundFactory-k6m]

Well I watched you put the song together on your GTR ...love your energy with this one Genesis gets the stamp of approval!!!! score... Thank You for your take!!!!

[@dej1971]

one of the most beautiful songs ever written... really!

[@315Mikey]

There's a song on his second solo album "Please Don't Touch" called "Racing In A" that begins with a fast rock section that suddenly swerves into a classical guitar coda that is beyond unbelievable - with virtuosity unmatched except by Roy Clark.....

[@nightHawk66]

Entagled... 🔥🔥🔥 And Then... Suppers Ready! Studio version is fantastic.. With the song Horizon... Peter Gabriel on vocals , live version from Seconds Out is AWESOME, AMAZING! Collins on vocals and additional drums. 😎

[@patrickwouters6568]

Entangled

[@rk41gator]

'Entangled' is beautiful AND hilarious. Imagine an English band commenting on the cost of health care and privacy concerns.

[@mattleppard1964]

One of the most beautiful songs ❤

[@JoneRuiz]

I agree! Beautiful stuff!

[@CthulhuWaitsDreaming]

You will become a fan of Steve Hackett. He has recorded a LOT of material and is still creating the magic on stage to this day. You need to see his shows in person when you get the chance.

[@ProductivityOrchard]

Love, love your reaction to this beautiful track from Genesis. One of my favorite Genesis tracks. Hope to see more Genesis reactions. I think you will love Ripples from the album ‘A Trick of the Tail’ a song about making the most of your youth and beauty because it does not last.

[@rk41gator]

Would he like 'Dance on a Volcano'? It is not exactly melodious. LOL But if you are dancing on a volcano, what is to be expected?

[@Jerry-dn5yw]

The Mellotron!....often duplicated... NEVER replicated!

[@justinhamill7608]

Ola Jone, its such a pleasure to see you enjoying Genesis' music as much as I have for 50 years now. May you discover more. Thank you for your sharing it.

[@MattLathrum]

Really happy you came back to hear more Genesis via this song. I knew this was the one you really needed to hear the most. I think you would like Ripples a lot, too. It's from their Trick of the Tail album (1976) which is the album preceding Blood on the Rooftops, but don't expect the same kind of song. Oh, and definitely check out another song of theirs called The Musical Box, with the keyboard player helping out on a 12-string acoustic, while the bassist plays an electric archtop 12-string Rickenbacker.

[@erickvermeulen9734]

Great reaction, I loved that classical guitar in this song when I heard the album in the seventies. In 1985 or so, Steve Howe and Steve Hackett formed a supergroup called GTR, that produced one album.

[@franckb8279]

One of the best song from this album. And one of the best Steve's contribution for Genesis just before he left (77). Check Horizons from the album Foxtrot from Genesis too. Check Black light from Steve Hackett's solo album Bay of kings. Check Sierra quemada from Guitar noir. Check Shadow of the hierophant from his first solo album Voyage of the Acolyte (75).

[@FionaGibbStuart]

Absolutely stunning, thought I'd already said how fabulous this is,check out Please Don't Touch by,Steve

[@deanzaZZR]

Thanks for sharing. I hadn't heard this for many, many years. I am reminded of the GTR concert I attended many, many years ago that included two separate acoustical guitar suites by Steve Hackett and Steve Howe. Imagine that.

[@massimosampei4225]

Simply a masterpiece

[@Earlofmar1]

Saw them in Edinburgh when they toured this album. My first ever concert, and what a magical night it was.

[@paravoxmusic9227]

Beautiful reaction

[@315Mikey]

I forgot to mention another Steve Hackett song that is equally if not more impressive than this song for slower, more emotive classical guitar off his 1991 album "Guitar Noir" called "There Are Many Sides To The Night". This one comes complete with orchestral backing at the beginning & ending. I can't wait to see your reaction at one particular moment......

[@nealjones255]

Technical Brilliance

[@TheRKae]

I've got one for you: "On The Border" by Al Stewart. REALLY NICE Spanish guitar work by Peter White.

[@steffNewtown]

Mr Ruiz, if you want to hear his masterpiece on classical guitar, listen to A Midsummer Night’s Dreams with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. 🤩🤘🏻

[@Jimi-ld2vw]

Not at all surprised that you would like this song. I do too, as much as you :)

[@rk41gator]

Genesis does some wonderful chromatic modulations and chord combinations to create their moods. Magical. Phil Collins has one of the best male voices of our generation. A DEEP rabbit hole.

[@vtec1959]

C'est La Vie .................Emerson, Lake and Palmer

[@rk41gator]

Love this tune. A little bit of everything in this song. 'Mad, Man, Moon' is another to find. And of course 'Supper's Ready' and waiting.

[@JoneRuiz]

Thank you so much for the suggestions!

[@rk41gator]

@@JoneRuiz Oh, I forgot 'Entangled' from this album. Lovely mix of rock and classical guitar. Plus some interesting and humorous lyrics.

[@EessaTube]

You should be able to find a live performance of Steve Hackett performing this.

[@fredericknalaremah939]

Beautiful and bountiful!

[@JoneRuiz]

Nice! I have been listening this songs everyday! I love it!

[@TheRKae]

The original guitarist from Genesis, Anthony Phillips, does a lot of nice classical work. Check out his tune "Field of Eternity." You'll instantly be hooked.

[@rk41gator]

Did Phillips and Hackett ever work together? Wouldn't THAT be something.

[@TheRKae]

@@rk41gator I don't think so, but there's a tribute album to Phillips, and Hackett plays on it, which is a wonderful gesture! The album is called "A Light On The Hill" by the Ant Band. Mike Rutherford plays on Phillips' albums now and then, and he also has Phil Collins sit in on vocals. (He and Phil never worked together in Genesis, but they are well acquainted.) If you want to get a great does of Phillips,m check out the album "The Geese & The Ghost." It's astounding. Mike and Phil are on that one. There's a box set of 4 CDs (I think) and it's TOTALLY worth the price! The demos are splendid and there are some unreleased singles with Phil on vocals.

[@NABIL7]

Simply beautiful.

[@halcyon289]

Thank you . What a wonderful reaction. Please consider listening next to Dancing with the Moonlit Knight , again by Genesis from the wonderful 1973 album ; Selling England by the Pound .

[@kevinroche3334]

Great reaction!

[@JoneRuiz]

Glad you enjoyed

[@nickk6518]

Genesis at their absolute finest, before they became a pop band.

[@yes_head]

The strings are from the Mellotron. By this time, prog bands were masters at getting good sounds out of the thing (at least in the studio). But IMO this song is an obvious pick for this channel. And yeah, it would be cool to see you cover it (I'm pretty sure the full guitar tab can be found online). If you like this song you should proceed to the next three tracks that close the album: "In that Quiet Earth"/"Unquiet Slumber for the Sleepers", and "Afterglow".

[@aimonephoto]

You want an epic journey in 20+ minutes of music? Supper's Ready (starting with Horizons, which you've already done)!

[@mark-be9mq]

Love song & reaction

[@zimbo65a]

yes, I really trry tu listen ro that...... but someone always chats in between!

[@FionaGibbStuart]

Check out Steve Hacket album, Please don't touch. Absolutely brilliant, well worth a listen.

[@withwilltheresaway3802]

Great reaction of a great piece of music from a great band. Please listen to a timeless classical piece by Steve Howe called " A Mood for a Day" studio version from the album "Fragile" by Yes. It will be a part of your repertoire for a very long time!

[@vtec1959]

Old and Wise................The Alan Parsons Project

[@mjs502]

The chromaticism is weird, but works so well with Phil Collins voice

[@vtec1959]

hola desde grecia

[@vtec1959]

Pour My Love.............Marillion

[@kurtmiller1683]

Glad you liked it, but please don’t talk through the entire song

[@garri5108]

Of course not the song that you should have been reacted, but still pretty. This album is after Petereft the band, they still had good music, but nothing like in their super progressive era

[@paulmanley7863]

Stop rubbing your nose please, very distracting. Glad you like that track, listen to the remainder of wind and wuthering, a masterpiece!!

[@MattLathrum]

omg don't give him a complex just to record a video 😂

[@deliciousMRE]

I've been loving this song for many years. The first part setting you in kind of melancholy mood and stopping the everyday run. Then stepping up to lighter sounds and then mellow part with with vocal. And the explosion sending you to fly between clouds, sunrays and dreams.
