Steve Hackett talks about Valley Of The Kings

[@WarhawkBeyond2040]

One of my all time favourite Steve Hackett songs of all time and i love the dark egyptian feel the guitar playing brings to the piece with the hard hitting drums going on. What a monster track.

[@dragonflywings4669]

This track transports me for sure. Wonderful moving music. Thankyou Steve for being the amazing guy that you are... 🙂💞

[@angelomoshopoulos4369]

Incredibly atmospheric and haunting melodies.

[@OmegaRedFan]

Another amazing and talented song!

[@davidmeadowcroft7626]

My all time Steve solo fave and rates amongst the very best of what epitomises Prog rock at its finest

[@piewoman4]

One of Steve Hackett's gifts is evoking other places and times so effectively. Valley of Kings is one great example.

My Introducing to your'e music just WOW! I❤it!

[@Jimmy-jm1ol]

So glad I got to see him in LA in 2018!

[@mlblue5355]

Great song! Yes, you’re right, people can travel with music!

[@rayfavourite1473]

How's this for spooky...I was literally on the phone to Mr Hackett this morning, when the postman delivered a book I just bought. The book? Ancient Evenings by Norman Mailer...

[@philbennett8896]

Fantastically evocative track, one of Steve's finest. It has power and mystery, just like the Pharaohs! Brilliant performed live!

[@Roadie-1963]

Wow, Steve you must be a very vivid dreamer from what you described. Egypt is someplace I'd love to visit. Thanks for talking about this track!

[@lazycalm41]

Fabulous track Steve! one of your best I have always thought. Best played as loud as possible and through big speakers!

[@MichaelAdashefski]

Not only a great song but a great mix as well. This piece creates that haunted atmospheric feeling of entering an ancient tomb, of taking in the sights and scents that present themselves to you. I like the gated reverb on the drums too which make it feel like you're walking downward, step by step into this ancient chamber. Great stuff!!

[@garymonteleone1731]

Steve- I really enjoyed the back story on this one. Great song as always. You and Jo stay well and thank you !

[@Paolo8772]

I visited The Vally of the Kings; across the river from Luxor Egypt in 1983 when I was only thirteen. That was 37 years ago! I'd just done a research report on Ancient Egypt in Grade 7 in Vancouver where I lived (now I live in one of its suburbs)

[@susannawarger9588]

I will love it for sure like Bay of Kings, Midsummer Night's Dream, Sketches of Satie with John, Metamorpheus !

[@therealtwiggyleaf]

One of my favourite Hackett tracks from recent years. Love these short daily reviews.

[@giovannigalvagno8720]

I had a fantastic trip to Egypt with my wife a few years ago and - guess what - I shot a film and I chose exactly this as soundtrack!

[@pparkermtrs]

It is indeed an extraordinary track, Steve!

[@annalemsma3558]

i like this piece very much, besides that i love the way Jo and you takes us on your journeys...I see some very nice books on your bookshelf!

[@crispyrobot77]

Thanks for taking us along with you on this journey.

[@stevegardiner8473]

A great piece of music. I can't agree more about Egypt. I've been on a couple of Nile cruises, and other visits there. An incredible country, and an incredible experience. Also been to Petra. I know Steve's been there too.

[@GabrielaMartinez-vo9wi]

I had that kind of dream twice: one from Giza and the other from Chichén Itzá, near where I Live i'm southeast México. Therewas not a kind of voice but a sensei of mind communication like showing me the way piramids amd naciente temples were built.. Anyone else?

[@dereckvon]

Very strong track.

[@michaeljudge9037]

Beautiful track. One of your best Steve. It does not seem to have had the exposure it deserves. Should be a routine live Hackett standard. Classic Hackett.

[@lornestein7248]

Great atmosphere for the subject matter at hand. It really puts you into that head space and time. Well done!

[@AndyPhillipRaphaelHatchett]

Amazing 😍

[@matthewharper8933]

This one is lovely. Have you discussed "Deja Vu" yet? Those lyrics from PG, the vocals from Paul Carrack, the strings...goosebumps galore, and I'm a progger, not one for pop stuff usually. Some incredible instrumental stuff in the latter half of the tune too.

[@MgClbustos]

I love this series of videos. Any chance to talk about Strutton ground? I think is an extraordinary little piece!

[@davidvaness5081]

Ive always wanted to see Stonehenge like to here a tune about that i think this old British band did that already

[@Driver2616]

David Vaness : You’d enjoy visiting Newgrange, Dowth and Knowth. Magnificent ancient burial tombs, older than the Egyptian pyramids.

Oh let the sun beat down upon my face.....
