Steve Hackett - Supper's Ready (Live at Hammersmith)

[@michaelhayes5884]

From a devoted Genesis fan this is amazing! Magical, mystical like the old days. Nad is a great vocal addition to the haunting somehow theatrical talent of Steve and the other boys. Yes I wish Genesis were there in the old format , but man this is a great alternative ……..the guitar solo at the end is just amazing, anyone who really loves `Suppers Ready I mean those who know every word , piano or guitar rift, those who looked at Genesis as gods in the 70's will love steves extension of this classic.

Agreed. The only thing that could be discussed is the theatrical aspect, which is missing there. Though, the theatrical was Peter Gabriel's back in the days. Anyone mimic-ing him today, that would be kinda ridiculous. Musically speaking, I find Steve's Genesis Revisited to sound better than the original versions.

[@jean-francoispayette92]

Gabriel Collins Hackett Rutherford and Tony Banks ont composé cette piece , co-writers of Genesis ...quoi veux tu dire de plus que ca ??? C est l Histoire , et cette Hisroire est la plus belle

[@jean-francoispayette92]

Steve Hackett Composer merco sTEVE

[@ricardodacanal8149]

@ i disagree, the interpretation of this music requires the theatrics. It´s not about peter´s style only, every genesis song has an unique life and story line to tell. However Steve Hackett sang it extremely well.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Ricardo Dacanal Steve Hackett doesn’t sing?

[@Vermiliontea]

Mind blowing vocalist. Never did I imagine ever hearing Supper's Ready being sung like this again. And that goes for all the other Genesis songs he has done for Steve as well.

[@zopvihbob]

Nad Sylvan and Gary O'Toole bring back the PG/PC harmony vibe exactly. Shivers, Goosflesh, memories...

[@Edmouk]

Gary O'Toole, so musical both singing and playing drums. I miss his playing with the Steve Hackett Band.

[@TheAnetmusik]

Roger King is a superb keyboardist.

[@garethmartyndavies2250]

I can’t put this performance into words. Truly amazing , can’t believe I drove around in the 80s with this blasting out of my ford escort, seen this crew live at bexhill, woooow absolutely brilliant ❤😂😢xxx

[@barrypunzal]

I get chills every time I hear this epic song. Thank you Steve Hackett.

[@clapstix3495]

Steve doesn’t play the guitar....he projects his soul through the guitar. It truly is a gift.

[@danno5662]

It makes so sad because I am so plain and boring

[@drbobhatfield]

AND do does the entire band. Hearing the solos by Tony Banks played through various wind instruments is GENIUS

[@RaysTrack]

I'm always amazed at the musicianship it required to compose and perform these Genesis classics. That and the balls required to play every note, beat and nuance in front of audiences of thousands who know the material in detail. Astonishing.

[@kenrussell1093]

You are absolutely right! I was watching In the Shadow of the Hierophant 2016 before this, and was thinking the exact same thing. The mathematical precision of that piece, played by all members with such determination, and flawlessly, is nothing short of amazing!

[@danno5662]

I do believe I would piss pants right proper

[@AnthonyWilliams-ew3wp]

I’m always gobsmacked that the band were in their early twenties when they composed this intricate piece of music. Astonishing. Look at today’s “musicians “ and weep.

[@tudvalstone]

Yes, these early pieces were so perfect that every note and tone needs to be hit in order to fulfill the expectations of those who know them in and out. It's great that they took this project so seriously.. After listening to some interviews with Phil, I understand now why I wasn't so happy with his performance of these classics.. he didn't seem to like them that much.

[@racookster]

At 21:11, Nad does the Peter Gabriel Bleat! "I think it's gonna work out fi-hi-hi-hi-hi-hine." He nailed it! Not even Gabriel himself always did the Bleat!

[@ArchieDuke.]

In 300 years they will still talk about the brilliance of Genesis and the individual members.

[@danno5662]

They will treat this as we do Motzark now

[@paulmcintyre5444]

Suppers ready and the musical box are the among the best songs ever written. Easily the best Genesis has done. Why on earth Peter did not unite to perform these ? Now Steve has fooled you all - he is now a Legend. When Peter donned the foxes head, he wasn’t to know this was his greatest song ever.

[@robertdavidson9393]

This guy does a great job singing like Gabriel not an easy task!

[@almaguapa-sailboatliveaboa440]

Listening to Genesis is so meditative and soothing for me. The many subtleties and licks have me sing not only the words but the music. Just masterpiece!

[@weebolddavy]

Nads stage presence is unbelievable, wish I was there

[@SymonSaysTV]

Amazing! The drummer is spot on, the voice is close enough to bring back some memories and Hackett hasn’t lost his touch a bit. Hackett is the greatest finesse guitarist alive. Steve Hackett is the real thing!

[@garygarber9310]

Damm i still LOVE hearing and watching this ! MUSIC that will be with us FOREVER.

[@mrmillcake8525]

Vocalist did a great job! It was challenging in every aspect.

[@Mark28644]

An absolutely stunning live performance by Steve & his band, here!!

[@garym.3113]

The crown jewel of Genesis songs .

[@nosuchthing8]

Cinema show is quite excellent too though

[@robcruz7813]

Unfortunately those who truly get it are fewer and fewer as decades wear on....

[@dav264]

Supper's Ready is a gift from the greatest rock band of all time!

[@anonymusum]

Greatest or every other superlative should be used in athletics, not music.

[@fernsehdesign]

anonymusum exept with Genesis...

[@gengisscann9001]

Cette chanson a été écrire en 1972. Au moment où j'écris ces lignes nous sommes en 2022. Elle me retourne toujours autant Cette musique est toujours aussi magique.

[@christopheserres5386]

Et moi, j'avais -1 an... Et ça a bercé une bonne partie de mon enfance.

[@garyrawlinson1647]

Suppers Ready is just the most amazing musical experience ever created and 45 years after it was first recorded and Steve Hackett has brought it too life with perfection

[@timweatherill3738]

This music is really so great that even with the occasional silly lyric, it holds up so well it puts current pop to shame. THIS is musicianship.

[@johnnykR9]

Current pop? Don’t get me started. Steve and band keeping Genesis material alive with their own take 🙏

[@tudvalstone]

The lyrics sound great, they fit and punctuate the music. Peter's diction was flawless and adds interest and character.

[@russmarkham2197]

The lyrics are great. They are tongue in cheek, but there's plenty of meaning. The soil, the soil the soil !

[@guillermogarzongomez2477]

on special but unfotunate days for human life, the best of music to overcome the anguish

[@oddities-whatnot]

Steve keeping old Genesis alive. Top bloke

[@alramirez9032]

As a devoted of Prog Rock just can say thank you for all the beautiful music

[@igormaxwel6093]

The greatest song of all times, originally from Genesis 1972 album called "FOXTROT".

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Les Blat didn’t matter what they looked like to me, it’s what they sounded like that mattered, now those roles have changed and look where it’s got us?!

[@Hqhq-01]

Finally, we get to really see Steve play this. In so many of the old videos of Genesis performances it seems that the various camera operators forgot he was there, even though he was over there killing it on guitar. Can't really blame them though because in so much of their music there was so much going on that it couldn't be captured in one shot, they really needed 5 cameras with each one focusing on just one member, and then they could have released all 5 versions.

[@FerF123]

22:33 EPIC moment of the song !, absolutely amazing how Genesis can take you slowly to that moment when you surrender to his music and let it go everything, like nothing else matters in life. Maybe the most important band in history of music.

[@ThePaulXyZ]

Steve Hackett is a wizard on that guitar.

[@jaquesels581]

Amazing to see him live. Seeing him next week in Wales. I cannot wait. Love Steve's playing and his personality

[@garypowell1540]

All great, but it has to be said what a fantastic performance from the lead vocalist. Never going to be easy pulling this one off, but he did.

[@Boffomundo]

Nad rules!

[@nlight101]

Love playing this song loud, it is spectacular- Wow, Nad has just did this songs justice, and in all fairness, have to include- his incredible spirit- soul, all that art and creativity, just flows well with a genius artist like Mr. Hackett- incredible- I just am loving time to go through my favorites over and over. Afterglow..Cinama show - the greek love song- and 32 doors were you find the creepy crawler-, and the pink heart getting shaved..ok..sorry, see I did it again.

[@JD-li1xw]

I can’t listen to the sure as eggs is eggs ending without getting goose bumps!

[@craigbarlow8204]

Credit where credit’s due. This is fabulous

[@America984]

25 minutes of goosebumps!

[@gidikaufman850]

Great!!

[@adef708]

Once upon a time it was called MUSIC....🎶Beyond our bounded rationality...astonishingly beautiful!

[@ankeunruh7364]

...they kept the ability to perform it. No need for a necrology, @Ade F :) We humans make decisions, it's part of something called evolution. Astonishing, beautiful, but not necessarily beyond ourselves... rationality makes it happen and keeps it (even though I can feel your intention). I really love both sides of me, of us, not knowing why I do read the comments, do this post... what to answer into this online world? Hope you're still around, listening... love, Anke :)

[@maurizioadeliovuturo5820]

I think that in Paradise we Will Heard this music!!!!

[@alexanderorest4243]

Will be awesome to see Hackett again this fall! Finally I will get to hear Supper's Ready live!!

[@zyphod]

I've been a fan since the early 70s and yes, I am one of those who prefer when Gabriel and Hackett were in the band. Having seen them back in the early days, this is a genuine clone with Nad doing an excellent role with the vocals. If you want to capture the flavour of the early Genesis, I suggest you go and see Steve Hackett, he and his band have it nailed !!

[@stewartchristie3408]

Suppers Ready! The greatest piece of music 🎶 ever written! Classical or popular! Never Ntie.

[@edmunddicapua9948]

Steve Hackett is not playing the guitar. He is tapping in, he is connecting. Incredible Art!

[@MrBoudarga]

Shut Up 'N Play Yer Guitar

[@MrBoudarga]

Interface Tech. System

[@luwewatches2133]

Seconds out still my favourite version of this fantastic song but this has the update of the quality of much better instrumental technology.

[@geoffreydowen5793]

certainly the glue that flowed through the veins of genesis their loss nicely done Mr Hackett and co .

[@simonpaine2347]

I probably saw Genesis a dozen times at Hammy Odeon going back to the 70's. This is triggering so many memories. Thanks Steve. Blessings to you all🙏

[@paulf2557]

Now that's how you recreate the past. Just sublime.

[@mikedenmark]

Incredible🤭 ~ brilliantly performed! Soulful execution by all band members ~ especially Nad Sylvan who seems to have been able to catch the spirit of both Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins and fused them together in his own performance 👌

[@nigelmorgan9298]

A legendary guitarist... He compliments every musician around him.

[@kzustang]

A jaw dropping performance!! Wow!! I love this song so much and I just had tears throughout this video. Unbelievable. Thank you!

[@cbalmori]

Nad Sylvan… WOW!

[@MrBazzabee]

Yeah.

[@joedudz]

Saw them in Plymouth yesterday and the whole concert was a stunner. Suppers Ready though was the highlight. Goosebumps all the way. Fantastic.

[@weebolddavy]

As good as it gets, no idea how often I've listened to this, absolutely wonderful. Every single member of that band got it spot on. Very moving, can't get this song out of my head. Don't want to!!!!!

[@tommyborgstrom5580]

There are two songs that stands out from that time : Close to the edge and Suppers Ready!! It's magic👍👍

[@jasonbarbush4991]

need to check out Keeper of the Seven Keys that stands out too.

[@poespooetomo5886]

What about Firth of fifth?

[@anonymusum]

Definitely not. Tarkus, Karn Evil, The Barbarian or Trilogy could easily be mentioned as well.

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

There are many songs that stand out from that time, too many.

[@ConceptJunkie]

Those are my two favorite songs of all time. I would also add "The Truth Will Set You Free" by The Flower Kings, for a more recent classic that stands among the all time greats.

[@grahamb9584]

seen them live nad brilliant and steve of course

[@midlifechrisis]

Stunning. Moves me to tears every time in listen. And being there live is truly memorable. Btw, I'm a real fan of Ned as a singer and performer. Hes himself, but also true to the original Genesis sound

[@alfiesyahrine2042]

Hackett Is the real Genesis

[@mattboland5221]

Steve Hackett being an original lineup in Genesis surely brings it back home again!. Thank you Steve for the sound of Genesis to be experienced 40 somewhat years later!!!!

[@swinetrek]

Steve was not in the original Genesis lineup. Anthony Phillips was the original guitarist, followed by Mick Bernard(?) then Steve. Steve was in the classic lineup of Banks/Collins (their 4th drummer)/Gabriel/Hackett and Rutherford.

[@dannyadamson5580]

I saw Genesis perform this several times and i can tell you its close really really good.

[@danno5662]

I am truly sad that I missed the opportunity to see genesis just once.

[@MrGreathorse]

This is absolutely fantastic, everyone on stage is amazing!

[@stephenrosch2418]

The sounds of goodness & brilliance keep on going with the band Steve it is grand to see & hear this beautiful song even tho" it's only on my phone. Would love to see this band live.Nad is superb !!

[@jasonbarbush4991]

the phrase "Feel My Body Melt" enlightened me in my meditation back in prep school nighttime devotions as if it was an epiphany perhaps an aha moment.

[@almaguapa-sailboatliveaboa440]

Roger King keyboard playing at many bars in the sort of inexactitude of Banks' original version faithful to my memory when listening back in the late '70s-'80s. Marvelous!

[@adrianusseto1737]

That is so beautiful.. Nad Sylvan is Genesis Thank you

[@allanroff202]

Just awesome and ned is doing an awesome job love it see you in Sacramento, ca

[@nikac2624]

Cant wait when they head back to the USA on tour. I want to see them LIVE, just one more time ...so I can feel it deep in my soul and vibes of the Instruments

[@danno5662]

one more time are you kidding I would be beyond my self to see them once

[@stewartchristie3408]

The greatest piece of popular music ever written! Amazing how they can get through it without sheet music! Classical musicians take note! Genius!

[@raoulspov]

Beautiful. Flawless performance!

[@OliverBusse]

Though not one of my favorite songs, this is not only a song, this is a hymn. A masterpiece.

[@marcym2259]

I have been fortunate enough to see Steve's band on several occasions. Supper's Ready has always been one of the highlights :)

[@rolandoldtuffi7716]

This was My Time... And it was wonderful

[@paulflynn6169]

With Gary and Lee , love this.

[@PeteGenesis]

Thanks for posting. What a masterpiece. I was fortunate to be there at Hammersmith. Steve has done an excellent job to preserve this song. He ended the song the way he wanted it with more harmony dominated by his guitar. Play me my song Steve! Keep up the good work. Wish I could come to your SEBTP tour.

[@richarddrolet7746]

Seen hackett live in quebec city canada 2016.......fkn amazing.......so true too the real deal.and also....hacketts solo career.....really really amazing........concert that will never be forgotten.......period.

[@triciabuckling3385]

Saw them at Hammersmith it was brilliant!

[@cliffcarr3632]

Excellent yet again from Steve and company. This song is the pinnacle of art and beauty.

[@234cheech]

what a performance

[@antoniogennari9961]

Magic music, after so many years so delightful, unique, not comparable with others, yet fantastic like Pink Floyd's one but with same influence to my soul in different ways.

[@chassy]

Totally awesome video! @Rulie Arifin, Thanks man for posting this perfect quality video and performance. Aound, image and visual are fantastic. And what a performance by these brilliant musicians. And AWESOME vocal too. 🎤🎸🎤🎸🥁🤘🤘🤘

[@Deusenir01]

it's the best band that played genesis until today

[@MatthewRings1]

The last movement, As Sure as Eggs is Eggs, is such a moving, spiritual experience. Wow! So worshipful for me, personally. Don't know if Peter Gabriel meant it that way, but it doesn't matter.... I am moved each and every time by those lyrics and the music genius to worship. Amen!

[@asselinjean-philippe8255]

Fascinant,envoûtant et hypnotique,le phare du progressive rock et cette guitare monstrueuse de Steve Hackett! L'absolu mis en musique!

[@59ladislas]

Je crois que je préfère Supper's Ready live at Royal Albert Hall de SH à cause de son solo final un peu plus long et captivant, vraiment transcendant.

[@RichardMyers-gx5fw]

You guys ROCKED! Missing the old Genesis days

[@Roby-iz8zh]

Lord of Lords, King of Kings

[@philshevlin]

best song ever. period. end of paragraph. end of story.

[@EARLandPEARL-c3i]

i saw this In Toronto at Old Massey Hall....sound and performance was indescribable

[@angelamckay9548]

Takes a brave man to song this, Nadal is that man. Absolutely outstanding musical performance too x

[@annapaolagrandini1052]

What is a masterpiece ? this is !

[@gustavoblanc5464]

GENIAL. Increíbles músicos !!! Saludos desde Mendoza, Argentina; acá hay miles de admiradores de Steve y de Genesis de la primera época !!

[@anibalgomesfilho6450]

MAGNÍFICO. EXTRAORDINÁRIO. OBRA DE ARTE !!!!!!!!

[@slidetek]

Pretty damned amazing. I was lucky enough to see Steve do this twice in Genesis Post Gabriel. Unfortunately when I saw Lamb, they played that in its entirety, with just Watcher and Box for encores. (Phil did an outstanding job though). Steve is keeping the flame alive, _long may he reign!_

[@carlmichael5592]

The reason Steve's bands versions of these classics are so brilliant and emotive is surely because no one else can reproduce his own guitar sound. Roger King does a damn fine impression of Tony Banks and Nad's vocals, whilst different to PG's, have a similar feel. Bass and drums just take care of themselves. Any incarnation of Genesis without Steve, and that includes post-78 Genesis, just doesn't sound the same.

[@thischannelhasnoname5780]

Fabulously well worked out solo at the end by Steve

[@simonross8814]

the spirit and Genesis are sti[[ alive !!!

[@Splinkvision]

So pleased I caught this live, huge influence on my playing as well

[@randu2776]

A big hug for Genesis members

[@stevenbreach2561]

Saw this tour in Cardiff,blown away!!!!!

[@luigisbraccia5623]

che Steve Hackett fosse un magnifico chitarrista ne ero certo da quando conosco i genesis (da sempre).. comincio a credee che sia il più grande di tutti gli altri that Steve Hackett was a magnificent guitarist I was sure since I know the genesis (always) .. I start to believe that he is the greatest of all the others

[@paulphillips3645]

A Masterpiece!!

[@pieroaycart785]

Reviviendo el viejo sonido de Génesis hasta mediados de los 70tas muy agradable de escuchar

[@staierful]

Attention à ceux qui écoutent pour la première fois ce chef d'oeuvre, ils n'en sortiront pas indemnes, et seront marqués à jamais par ce conte irréel, onirique, moi je suis déjà envouté depuis longtemps!
