The CInema Show

[@jefflopes8810]

Steve Hackett, I praise God every day that I am alive to witness you, your music and your band. I feel like times like this only come every couple hundred years in music, and us fans are just so damn lucky! Thank you very much for touring, and I super excited to see you in Germany this coming September. I am taking my best friend there from the bay area California just for your show. You have made our lives so much better!

[@monkabrahms7997]

take it easy dude

[@creaketh]

I love he shows a different Genesis product at the start of each video

[@creaketh]

Well, I'm back again.

[@Philippe_III]

The best album Genesis ever produced. I love Cinema Show and of course Firth of Fifth. A big thank you to you Steve for these little capsules. Hello from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

[@marcoscuervo2002]

The best album by any band ever, period

[@Nigelrudyardmusic]

This was Genesis' finest moment. What an album, just monumental. The musicianship, the concept of the songs, and Steve and Tony's playing and composition just sublime. Sublime.

[@jameshannon3067]

I feel very fortunate to have spent the evening with Steve and his band in early March for their incredible recreation of Selling England by the Pound on the US leg of this year’s tour. This was also one of my earliest and favorite Genesis album back in the 70’s. What a wonderful gift those of us who have been fans for this long have been given to have these musical masters as a part of our lives. Thank you Steve!

[@AnAmericanFan]

We saw Steve Hackett at the Miller Symphony Hall in Allentown, PA the day before everything shut down and of course Hackett cut his tour short. Exquisite.

[@smabass2913]

THANKS MR. Hackett for ALL the years making WONDERFUL MUSIC MEMORIES for SO MANY people around the WORLD! THANKS for taking the time to explain these TIME-LESS WORKS OF SONIC ART! YOU ARE LOVED BY ALL OF US! ♥️🥁🎸👍

[@seankayll9017]

Seconds Out is a masterpiece and Cinema Show is the stand out track on it. I first heard the album in 1979 as a fourteen year old and I still get goosepimples when I listen to it nowadays. Thanks Steve.

[@scottmyers9360]

Bruford & Collins....it doesn't get any better!

[@fourtheye111]

Selling England by The Pound was the very first Genesis album I bought back in the early 70s. I purchased it on the cover art alone. What a wonderful way to start my journey!

[@TheCorrectAnswer56]

I was at two of his shows in 2019 and he's right about that version of Cinema Show. When they picked up after the quiet part it took the house down and was LOUD. Probably my favorite version I've ever heard of it.

[@timallbritton7329]

For me, the best 7/8 jam ever recorded. Changed my life as a drummer.

[@phenixreturns]

you are a drummer too ? i have this edition but i suggest to listen to the remasters in 1994: the bass drum sounds better like the snare drum and the 2007 is the worst edition for the drums

[@djangoleg]

This is Phil Collins at his best ! Wow ! Incredible drumming !

[@teelurizzo8542]

Brilliant song, masterpiece album.

[@scifiwriter98]

The Seconds Out version of Cinema Show is one of my all time favorite songs and I can listen to the instrumental section over and over. It's a very powerful and emotional piece of music by itself. I've watched all the videos of the song played live and I noticed that Hackett's band plays a slowed down version of it. It's probably so difficult to play the keyboard parts that even Tony Banks would have a hard time playing it at the speed it's played on Seconds Out.

[@112sje]

I love everything that Genesis have done but Seconds Out is by far my favourite album. Every song on it is an improvement on its original version (apart from the absence of the piano introduction to "Firth of Fifth"). Cinema Show is one of the best examples of this. It sounds so much better to have an ending of its own rather than fading & linking into Aisle Of Plenty.

[@motnosniv]

Phil's drumming on cinema show is just the best

[@bjorn7100]

I think Banks' keyboards is the main deal on this song (as often with Genesis) but Collins' drums are a close second! People who think Collins was just a pop singer who could play some drums need to listen to early & mid Genesis and songs like Cinema show.

[@alencar5420]

Incredible! You always makes some great compliments about Tony Banks. And Tony Banks always said that one of the best Genesis songs is Blood on the Rooftops and recently said he missed your guitar style during the ...and then there were three record. So why don’t you both get together and record a nice album?🙏🏻

[@LuisEduardoGalindo]

The question of the million pot: WHY Steve and Tony never ever co-worked on their solo careers? yes they compliment at each other but there`s got to be something more underneath the surface that we don`t know

[@dr.feelgoodmalusphillips2475]

@@LuisEduardoGalindo And it's none of our business.

[@Eckstein1957]

Every Genesis fan loves Cinema Show and Firth of Fifth. These songs will live on forever, thank you Steve for these interesting updates. Canada loves you and Genesis.

[@laurabusse1832]

My favorite song of all time! It is AMAZING!!!!!!

[@dolphinman09]

This songs I can hear also in 2020, it feels every time great...

[@dermashy]

Selling England is still my favourite Steve , every song is a goosebump song , so beautiful and haunting, it’s helped me through so many strange and weird times in my life , thank you so much . Mark 🙏🏻

I'm rewatching Breaking Bad...love your avatar!

Hi steve. Saw you at the sage again last night. Brilliant. Thank you. Peace.

[@DARisse-ji1yw]

I never tire of hearing Cinema Show !

[@nlight101]

Me cup of tea- and a good story of love in a song.. great mix of music plays to my heart- your bad Steve

[@lorrainetaylor6849]

THANK YOU - I loved listening to your chat this evening from the splendid isolation of New Zealand .

[@joelmathiason6070]

Please keep these videos coming Steve. I love hearing about the methodology, inspirations and techniques.

[@jorhay1]

I was at the Cortona Italy 2017(?) show in The 1st row yelling ‘Cinema Show!’ You guys also didn’t play it in the LA show I saw:( But I remember reading and being glad that you finally did add it to the line up. Steve Hackett Band is one of the best bands playing now. And these quarantine videos are the best thing on You Tube. Thank you maestro! Love and health to you and fam!

[@dang.7964]

The solo is so uplifting that is elevates the soul...

[@LuisEduardoGalindo]

What a Joy to meet you like this MR Stave, tht`s all I`m going to say, Thank you so much for ever been there ¨back in the day¨ for it has filled and built our lives to carry on the energy.

[@jeremythornton433]

Thank you Steve! Always great to hear form you. Of course we, I mean the entire world, would love to hear you and all the guys get together for one more kick at the can but we also understand reality. Thank you for all the great music!

[@andywharam4846]

Another genius track from The best live album Ever Seconds Out of course!, Yes Steve brilliant keyboard 🎹 & synthesis from the Genius writer & player Tony.

As a French fan, since the very 1st album, THANKS ( I Love the books you own, behind you ;-) ) I will be in Paris the sept. 25th 2020 to come .

Excellent mug!

Saludos desde Chile, GRANDE!

[@danielcutting2796]

Always a classic Album

[@macsnafu]

Cinema Show is just about my favorite Genesis song. The whole album is great, but that particular song was like nothing I'd ever heard before. My favorite section was the quiet instrumental section starting at 2:50, with all that intricate stuff going on.

[@davebellamy4867]

The bit at 2:50 is VERY quiet! Did you mean 1:50?

[@macsnafu]

@@davebellamy4867 I apologize for not being clear. I meant 2:50 of the full song, not 2:50 of this particular video.

[@davebellamy4867]

Cool mug!

The most shamefully underrated guitarist / composer in the history of contemporary music !! This guy has Mozart-like musical instincts !! 💘 🎸 🍇 🍷 🍒

[@mmoses5272]

Can you please do the story of 'Counting Out Time', 'Watcher Of The Skies', 'Time Table', & 'Carpet Crawlers'? Those are awesome songs.

[@ThefightingCelt]

I must have that mug !

[@charlesnolan7602]

Steve another great synopsis!

[@badrogue66]

Buried the lede here Steve. Best part of the song is the beautifully fingerpicked acoustic beginning.

[@joelestes2257]

Such a billiant guy. A great stewart of the real Big G.

[@nico56789-m]

So good!

[@Star_Sn1per]

Best Genesis song next to Supper's ready.

[@112sje]

So Dancing With The Moonlit Knight and Cinema Show nearly combined to make a mini Supper's Ready. I would think that mist Genesis fans are relieved that they didn't as both tracks deserve to stand out in their own right.

[@philcross8561]

Where can I get that coffee mug!!!!

[@SDsailor7]

Yes i would also like to know where he bought it.

[@AD65]

Personally, I love a 12 string passage.

[@roy7046]

Where can i get me one of them cups? Do they come in porcelain?

[@ianmcgrath3540]

It sounds like he's saying that Moonlit Knight and Cinema Show were part of one song at some point. I'd like to understand that better. I kind of wish he'd pause the music sometimes, it seems like it distracts his thought process a little sometimes.

[@maxmeister5064]

In its Seconds Out rendition, the instrumental part of The Cinema Show ist the best instrumental part ever and by any instrument! Judging from KZbin vids however, SH seemed to have nothing to do with it...

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

Why did they have to buy the mellotron from King crimson? Were the sounds copyrighted by kc?

[@scifiwriter98]

No, the story goes that King Crimson were upgrading to the Mk II version of the mellotron and put their old one up for sale. Genesis were fairly poor at the time so they were happy to save some money on a used one. Also, Genesis members were big fans of the first KC album, In the Court of the Crimson King, so they were pleased to get the mellotron that was played on that album.

[@HerbalistGuybrush]

@@scifiwriter98 I know that Hackett at least admits his KC influence. KC is for sure a VERY influential band. One more question: since the mellotron works in essence like a sampler, how did one put the specific sounds onto to mellotron? Like the angelic voices in Moonlit Knight or the trademark KC mellotron sounds?

[@scifiwriter98]

@@HerbalistGuybrush It uses pre-recorded tapes of the instruments or voices. This is an educational video of how the mellotron works. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKqnaZp-bNCMrtU

[@MarceloKatayama]

@@HerbalistGuybrush The original model for the mellotron used tape loops for it's sound. So, you could change the tapes used in the mellotron to add different sounds. I also recall mellotrons having a feature to mix some of the tape signals, but I'm not too sure if it it was a feature of the original model Genesis used.

[@bayleybailey34]

How about some how to play by Steve?

Hi Steve. Any particular reason you keep these videos under three minutes? I for one could easily listen to you wax on about these songs for as long as you like and you'd have my rapt attention.

[@GreatBoneStructure]

Genesis should be a public utility provided for free over the world's plumbing systems. It should be served in schools. It should mist down in nano particles from hidden dirigibles and infect all electronics and cheeses.

[@fernandofernandezgar]

Todo muy lindo, pero la obra como solista de este tipo es malísima, no se le cae una sola idea. Se ve que se le agotaron en 1975 y que sin los compañeros del primer Genesis no pudo hacer nada trascendente. Lo siento pero es así. Saluti.

[@MarceloKatayama]

Ignorando completamente álbumes que tocan un aspecto distinto del progresivo que cualquier otra banda. Álbumes que incluyen spectral mornings, por ejemplo. También ignorando los esfuerzos de Hackett de incorporar ideas tradicionalmente extranjeras a la música popular occidental, así como las nuevas versiones y arreglos para múltiples canciones. Una pena que no las puedas apreciar, pero es una tragedia que insultes su trabajo de esa forma.

[@fernandofernandezgar]

@@MarceloKatayama Primero: no me interesa en absoluto tu opinión, como sí parece que te interesa a vos la mía. Segundo: Solo respondo para aclarar que yo no insulté el trabajo de nadie. Decir que una obra es malísima no es un insulto. Insulto sería decir que es una mierda y yo no dije eso. Tercero: cambio y fuera.

[@MarceloKatayama]

@@fernandofernandezgar Primero: KZbin se utiliza para difundir opiniones, de acuerdo a la filosofía griega, las opiniones tienen que tener sustento, de otra forma no tienen ningún valor. Tú expusiste tu opinión sobre el trabajo de este artista al cual yo admiro, pero no diste ningún sustento. Yo dí mi opinión sobre tu comentario, la cual, en retrospectiva, tampoco tiene mucho sustento. De cualquier forma, si compartes tu opinión, no esperes inmunidad o que nadie responda lo contrario. Estás en el derecho de defenderte, pero no eres inmune a la crítica. Segundo: La RAE define la acción de insultar como: "1. tr. Ofender a alguien provocándolo e irritándolo con palabras o acciones." Quiere decir que un insulto es una ofensa. Y una ofensa puede ir dirigida hacia alguien o algo de alguien. En este caso, es un insulto al esfuerzo de Hackett, llamándolo "malísimo" y "no trascendental". También diste a entender que es un trabajo sin originalidad. Es un insulto bajo la definición estándar, y una falta de respeto al esfuerzo del artista, sobre todo porque no diste nada de sustancia más que una crítica destructiva. En esto, reconozco, yo también fallé. Tercero:OK
