I know this was 12 years ago and I was a huge Genesis fan in my youth, but how incredibly rude for Phil and Mike to walk off the stage as Steve started to talk.

[@davidbutterworth9578]

Agreed, Jonathan B. I've just watched this and feel that Steve Hackett does not get enough respect from the other band members generally, not just on that occasion but generally - particularly Tony Banks. Steve is an unassuming man, unaffected by fame. What wonderful music he has produced.

Everything I like about the band is due to his input. Gabriel left and that was fine by me Phil filled in very nicely. I don’t like their 80s pop sound but that’s where the money was, so you can’t blame them at all.

[@ForceMaximus84]

Probably because he quit the band.

[@fabrikk60]

I don't believe Genesis is currently "dismissive" of Steve at all. Whatever differences they had, are in the distant past now. Truth is, Steve would not have fit in with the global pop ambitions that the band had, and his solo career proves that. However Steve has indeed kept the early Genesis music alive and vital, something the other members are appreciative of no doubt.

[@aj.2004]

@@ForceMaximus84He quit because he wasn’t being recognized for his work. He was kinda given an odd look when he released his first solo album and no one else did, but for the beginning years without Peter Phil didn’t really input into the making of songs like he did later on. Mike and Tony really took a dictatorship, which Steve got sick of and as a result of him not being properly recognized on Wind & Wuthering and Trick to an extent, his time to leave had come. He’s triumphed since then

[@suekelley2109]

He left on his own. No one asked him or told him too. If he’d hung around a few years they were all doing their own thing. I never thought he added much too them but I really didn’t get to know their music until the And There Were Three tour.

[@gaupau]

@@suekelley2109 They didn't directly tell him to leave but they limited his influence and ideas in the band, while also disapproving of him doing his own solo work while still being part of the band. They limited his creative freedom at every which way so there was nothing he could have done except leave the band. He was also often underutilized in the band and undermixed in the recordings, many of which is attributed to Tony Banks and his apathy towards Hackett. If you don't believe he added much to the bands sound then I recommend you check out some of the older material if you're only familar with ...And Then There Were Three... and onward.

[@keithf_]

@@gaupau You're so right in everything you say. Just listen carefully for the guitar on 'Cryme', 'Foxtrot', 'Selling', 'Trick' & 'Wind' for his influence. Yes, as a composer, Steve Hackett, was a late developer, but by the time he was contributing to 'Wind' his song writing skills were well honed yet under-appreciated by the rest of the band. Yes he was forced out alright !

[@geoffreylogsdon162]

​@@keithf_In fact Tony Banks has said that Steve's Blood On The Rooftops is his favorite Genesis track. I imagine he has some regret about the way Steve was treated although he would certainly never say so. I love Tony to death but he is well capable of being a dick at times. There is a Mike Rutherford 'This Is Your Life' on KZbin, and Kenney Jones sits down next to Tony. No exaggeration, Tony makes a face like a pile of dogshit was just plopped in the chair. Interesting fellow.

Love Phish, they have a lot of chutzpah to have a go at 'Watcher Of The Skies', a very hard tune to pull off, and they did a fine job given the circumstance, but there are a few clams here and there in the mellotron chords and bass line, and the vocals we're never Phish's true forte (and there's only one man who could ever pull that off convincingly and w/t he right attitude - Peter Gabriel - and he could no be there unfortunately.). But I still prefer Genesis' renditions.

[@jaybee7890]

actually Phil and Nad Sylvan and Mike Ian all pull off the vocal well. The opening chords were indeed wrong, seems like a silly thing to mess up.

[@egyptianminor]

@@jaybee7890 Correct, I've seen quite a few Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited w/ Ned Sylvain and he does a very fine job, Not sure i've hear Mike Ian, but I did hear the version w/ John Wetton doing the lead on the Vol. 1 record that Steve did in the 1990s, if I'm not mistake, a fine version. Not sure I've hear Phil Collins doing it though....Is it on 'Seconds' Out'?

[@Spock105]

should have been The musical box to perform that evening. It's common known that Tony is the difficult one . Michael might close his eyes always but Peter & Steve made the right choice when they left . It was a Tony/Mike band. Tony is a genius & wrote in my opinion the best songs . Songs like Mad Man Moon , The lady lies , Firth of fifth , Afterglow , One for the vine, Guide vocal , A trick of the tail , Me and Sarah Jane , Many to many , Burning rope ....jesus can it get any better ? That said , he is also a big ego. And on the other hand : its the big ego's that make it in this world...so why would I complain. I'm just not that good with how Steve is treated all this time upon till nowadays . There is a big difference in how Peter is treated. Maybe they are just jealous on fact that Steve his renditions of the old Genesis stuff is applauded and that at least he can pull of a show without being obliged to play top 10 hits.

[@egyptianminor]

@@Spock105 True, The Musica Box does some pretty authentic overs of early Genesis. And true that down at the bottom, after Pete leaving it was indeed Tony & Mike's band and all things considered Tony Banks is probably the musical back bone of the band, in all its incarnations, w/ Mike taking co-lead role. After Pete and Steve left Phil need up being elevated in star from 'junior' to 'senior' by circumstance , while Steve remained in his mostly arranger/orchestrator role and got squeezed out creatively as well as in terms of his participation on the overall sound.Listening to Wind & Wuthering, it's like he was called in mostly to do overdubs and notch else, so he got fed up of not having enough room and left. An to be fair to him he is the only one who really gets 'old' Genesis for what it is, in all its beauty, he is the one who really loves their early Prog music, and is out there keeping it alive and presenting it and preserving it to future generations, so thanks to Hackett, because he is the one who really gives it its full respect and appreciation, which is weird coz like you said a lot of it was Tony and Mike and to a lesser extent Pete's. but Steve knows that both him and Collins contributed a lot in many ways to the overall sounds as well as songs, at least Steve did, as a writer, even if not as often as he would have liked and deserved. And he' s the one who knows that their 5 piece classic line up was 'greater than the sum of its parts'.
