Steve Hackett - Eleventh Earl of Mar (Genesis Revisited: Live At Hammersmith)

[@sraps2007]

Thank you for sharing this performance. It makes me sad that the younger generations have no idea what music can like, but I am optimistic that one young person will watch this, have the spark ignited and make some beautiful music of their own.

[@MrNJT]

I am a 16 year old who enjoys Genesis and it’s doppelgänger Marillion! There is hope out there my friend!

[@RinconSurf-y6i]

Not optimistic.

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Fantastic

[@zmor68]

The great thing about Steve's whole "Revisited' project is that it keeps older Genesis music alive. And when revisiting this music - using todays equipment - Steve is able to be creative about it and to remain faithfull to the original. All at the same time! This is art in itself.

[@SimonCaddy]

Never a more true word spoken, such a great comment that honours both original Genesis and also heaps deserved praise on this performance. Better than the original? In production, probably, yes, but let's not forget all the original band members that created it, and by your comment I know you aren't by the way. 👍🏻

[@dexterdog62]

One can only dream of how Genesis would have evolved over the years had Steve Hackett not left the band. Probably not as much commercial success. Simply an outstanding musician.

[@Vince-lq3ve]

Some bands have ONE songwriter, Genesis had 5. There was little room to keep everyone happy and we were much much better off as the band split and flourished in it's many forms whether solo or down to the three writers of Genesis.

[@lemsip207]

​@Vince-lq3ve The 80s also changed Genesis as well Peter and Steve leaving. Chart music was very different in the 80s from the 70s following the success of the disco, punk, and new wave genres. They had to adapt to changing musical tastes, demographics and advances in music and recording technology or die. People didn't stop buying records at the age of 20 or even 30. Early fans of rock and roll and 60s pop were entering their 40s and still wanted to buy music. The birth rate had started to fall from 1965 so there were fewer teenagers as the decade wore on but more people in their 20s and 30s who were born in the baby boom years.

[@forry2905]

This lineup of musicians is my favorite, tho all excellent selections. Lee, Gary, Rob, Roger, and yes of course, Nad! Thanks To Mr Hackett for 50 plus years of pure musical delight, also, much thanks to Rulie your taste in music is spot on!!

[@funklover24]

This song is pure genius and thanks to Steve we still can hear ot live. ❤

[@glauciodon.campelo8967]

What an huge opener for one of the best of Genesis albums, Wind and Wuthering. As more as I hear, more I realize this.

[@peterfuller8229]

My favorite opening to ANY album.

[@frankmachin5438]

Yeah i agree- i like it every bit as much as Trick of the Tail

[@hwenneker]

THE best Genesis album!

[@phillonsdale2952]

What a fantastic, magical performance! The enthusiasm jumps jumps off the screen & out of the speakers. Thank you Steve /7 Band for keeping this wonderful music so alive

[@oddities-whatnot]

That central slow section is an absolute wonder. The mood created by the subtle notes and dreamy chord changes is astonishing.

[@whitey7998]

Fantastic performance of a great song. Nad Sylvan brilliant as always.

[@porflepopnecker4376]

I remember the very first time I heard this song. I bought "Wind and Wuthering" on 8-track cassette and played it during a long road trip on a gloomy, rainy day. It was the perfect way to listen to that album. This is a beautifully done version.

[@markderen205]

Man, that’s one stage full of talent !

[@Barrybirdeyes]

One of the best and overlooked songs in the Genesis catalog. Not sure if Genesis the band actually ever perform this live so thanks for posting!

[@davidporter1855]

What an amazing guitarist Steve has become

[@jeffwolinski2659]

Always was! But he hasn't lost a step.

[@breezewayrecords]

@@jeffwolinski2659 like a true artist, he has definitely grown. He's much better player these days than with Genesis.

[@davebellamy4867]

@@breezewayrecords Perhaps at least partly because he can play his parts how he wants and doesn't get mixed out. Steve certainly has matured like a fine wine over many years.

[@jeff-bg2fn]

Vivent Genesis et les années 80. C'était la belle époque. De la musique de grande qualité, et une vie sécurisée. Oui , je suis nostalgique. Et je l assume. Genesis est une légende, et quel plaisir de voir Steve et sa bande reprendre ces merveilles mélodiques

[@debannc]

Beautiful ! I never get tired of these videos....I grab a glass of wine, the iPad , KZbin and headphones. Steve Hackett I see you will be in Michigan soon....would be like candy seeing you all on stage.

[@dubyuellem7534]

Loved this song & album the very 1st time I heard it. Great memories. Thank you for posting this & all the other progressive masterpieces on your site. God Bless you for your kindness.

[@nojnoj3069]

When they played this, my favourite Genesis song at Knebworth way back, the ground shook from the keyboard and guitar part at the end of the song. That incredible sound I will never forget. Those huge mirrors above the stage were reflecting and bouncing light way out into the darkness. My most favourite weekend fun and craziness. Thank you Steve Hackett.

[@rappleba2496]

That mirror show, a delight. The lights were in a fan shape behind the stage during the climax in "In the Cage."

[@nojnoj3069]

@@rappleba2496 .....Awesome!....So many of us sharing wonderful sound and light. A very treasured moment.

[@MrNJT]

Wind and Wuthering was my introduction to Genesis way back as a young kid. I was always dancing in my booster seat!

[@Quantanthead]

Awesome. From one of my favorite albums of all time.

[@PauloCarnaxide]

Prog masterpiece.

[@MJCPeters]

I've been a Genesis fan for years, saw them live many times But only after the Peter Gabriel, and Steve Hackett separation. I am also one who generally hates substitute vocalists. I have watched all of these and love them.

[@herballen6244]

Me too. Steve has put together a great band.

[@MD-jt8dj]

And Nad is a great vocalist, no doubt about that. His tone varies among Gabriel, Collins and Cat Stevens. Fits perfectly in my humble opinion.

[@capecyn]

Absolutely fantastic! I got the chills listening to this as I have every time I've heard it over the past 45 years

[@jamescuisinier5616]

I'm taking my son tomorrow to the town hall in NYC, He is gonna be 21 Nov 15 th and he knows a bit about Genesis but nothing about Steve Hacket, I'm hopeful that it'll inspire him to listen more.

[@magoob2370]

Waited over 40 years to see him, counting down the days till I see Steve in Seattle in October!

[@andytheflyer]

Well worth the wait. Saw them last year in Nottingham, UK. Absolutely brilliant. Musicianship of the highest order.

[@jeffbauer3425]

I looked for dates in South Florida . And none are stated.😥

[@magoob2370]

jeff bauer ya lived in Tampa for 15 and Denver for 25 , never came through either! Now back in Colorado and would have liked to see him at red rocks amphitheater, that’s y I’m flying to Seattle, Steve has 10 years on me and one of us is gonna kick the bucket sooner or later lol

[@magoob2370]

jeff bauer Jeff sorry to bother u again but ur name sounds really familiar and I’m sure there’s more than one J.B. Out there, original grew up in Toledo, just wondered.

[@MrNJT]

I’m only 14 but Hackett is the true genesis holder! He keeps the spirit alive! I’ve been to I think two shows and they’ve been fantastic! Enjoy the show my friend! I’m seeing him in NYC in September!

Thank you Mr Hackett

[@michaeln2097]

I really enjoyed this. The music is spot on, which with any Genesis song, you want to hear it like it is on the album. My only wish, although he does a good job, I miss the voice and wish it was mor like Phil.. Again Nad Does a nice job with it, even acting out what Peter might do, but still something just missing. Steve should contact that guy from The Farm. If you really want to hear Phil again, check them out here on KZbin, just search the Farm Genesis and should find it. Close your eyes and you think Phil is singing.

[@ricardojosefontesalmeida326]

Como fã e colecionador do Genesis desde sua criação, Steve vem mantendo, cada nota musical, tal qual o original.. É um deleite ouvi-lo...

That guitar the bassist is playing has got to be one of the oddest custom builds ever. Left-handed bass & twelve string.

[@Frederer59]

This song imo, is one of their best. Arena rock and chamber music as one - that's classic Genesis. Btw, it's nice to the beautif guitar part in the mix. ❤❤

[@briane5706]

Nad has really come to interpret these songs with consistency and captures both Phil and Peter in his performances. Let’s not forget English is NOT his mother tongue!

[@annuvynarawn392]

for the wider read fan, one of the best prog rock tracks of all time and certainly one of the very best album openers - only true classics such as Close to the Edge opening are in the same league - in some respects, the finesse shown on Trick of the Tail / Wind and Wuthering makes me wonder if PG leaving was the best thing that ever happened to the band - there is a meme of PG facepalming the first time he hears this track...

[@macelven]

Although I love Selling England...I 100% agree. ATOTT & W&W are just the absolute best of Genesis in my opinion. And this is an awesome opening track.

Well done Nad, you give the song more presence, I bought it back in 76 and hung up my Genesis boots in disappointment. Also to make clear this is a Phil Collins song after Gabriel left.

[@MrNJT]

Yeah I don’t really like the Collins era too much, besides wind and wuthering.

John Erskine was the 23rd Earl since the first creation of the title, and the 6th Earl under the seventh creation of the title. However, he was the 11th Earl under the Jacobite reckoning, which is the reason that is the title of the song.

[@MizMite2002]

Steve said he wanted autonomy. He wasn’t getting the input in Genesis that he wanted.

[@eddieavakian]

jeff bauer I was just thinking exactly that. He has the Gabriel down cold. He just doesn’t have the right voice for the Phil stuff.

[@dougsteeves2549]

Except this isn't a Gabriel song. This is from Wind and Wuthering which was the second album after Gabriel left Genesis

[@eddieavakian]

Doug Steeves i know. It’s one of my favorite albums. I think that Nad sounds less impressive on this song v some of the Gabriel songs. He absolutely kills the Gabriel songs

[@LeoDragon34]

Have to agree with that

[@ER-me1ii]

Totally agree. The worst part of this song is the drummers vocal fills.

[@oddities-whatnot]

Excellent, but have to say the usually brilliant Nad, seems a bit over animated with the vocals on this one, deviating wildly from the original. Not complaining, just noticed thats all. He sounds and looks half drunk !

[@MrNJT]

He’s calmed down a lot since 2013, but he was quite the…sight back then. Then again Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel were weirdos on stage so I think we got the best of both worlds with Nad!

[@Gruntol5]
