Steve Hackett - Jacuzzi

[@edsonsantiago9135]

All you see in theirs faces is the joy of making music! Superb!

[@Tangento]

I saw him and his brother John perform this piece FLAWLESSLY (along with the cream of Hackett's discography up to that point) a year after this video at the Roxy in Hollywood. (Nov. 1981) The band was Steve & John, along with the Amazing Magnus, Chas Cronk and Ian Mosley. Hundreds of concerts & musical performances from 1976 thru now, and that was the single most intense, awesomely powerful night of music I've ever witnessed.

[@MrKoprofaigin]

Genesis: The band had a Brain (Banks), a heart (Gabriel) & a Soul (Hackett). You can lose one and still work but not two. In my world, Hackett was the soul and his musik show it is so.

[@pablomalaga4676]

But the original Genesis sound came from a shy Ant

[@cosmicdrifter287]

mind blowing great tune.

[@marcthenarc]

My personnal best from Steve. Rock on.

[@permaveg]

When steve and john have worked together from Acolyte days up to now they certainly have made some sweet memorable music. Just the two together on the Eric Satie pieces c.d. showed their skill to good effect.

[@musicismylife5521]

Memories lovely song and great musicians.. :)

[@fbgtr]

2:33 pitch bend, and repeat 1 half step down playing on the same position 😂

[@vinnykster]

Yeah man I remember Alex in an interview mentioning this tune and how much Steve Hackett was a huge influence but never heard this tune .. So cool to finally hear it and hear the influence. Another Rush song- "No One At The Bridge" on Caress of Steel Alex said shows his affection for Steve H.'s playing as well! :-))

[@fvzaking8332]

Mucho genio... gracias Steve!

[@tekniko54]

thx for posting this! That was the best live performence of "jacuzzi"i ever heard..just love that song.

[@mastrofell]

A greatr composer a real musician,soloing he always plays the right notes in his guitar not hundreds of notes like other guitarists that want to impress and think that more and faster is better.

[@felipeas]

Hackett was the member that takes the Genesis sound to the limit

[@letmeouttamycage]

i love nick magnus' keyboard parts, especially on the 'highly strung' album = )

[@Luudiful]

I loved

[@eskimospy77]

We can see from this where older Genesis has gotten their fequent irregular rythems. Steve Hackett is one worthy of respect.

[@zachjohnson637]

Please take a listen to Phil Collins' Brand X if you haven't...

[@Luudiful]

Beautifull!

[@davemakesawave]

Saw him in Hull on this tour. Brilliant!

[@michaelbrenton4380]

I absolutely love this guy. He is so sweet & his wife really loves him because he is very talented, has a great memory & says off the wall stuff that makes not only me laugh but the audience as well. He smiles a lot too, people. Smile more, it'll make you feel much better inside & out.

[@santepiolo2]

Hackett, simply the best

[@deegish]

I was there!

[@raidereddie]

It must be great to be in a band of that stature with your brother. They look like they're having a blast.

[@dennywinstone5666]

Such a joyous song ! When will a choreographer put it to dance of ballet ?! - could be such a winner. Just realised it's in 7, with the middle in 5 (eat your heart out 'take 5'). An underrated hackett gem !

[@robertocona8547]

Grande!

[@letmeouttamycage]

He was the genious!

[@laaxe]

Me old bandm8, Johnny on drums! Good soul, if there ever was!

[@rafamoreno1965]

Otra de mis favoritas de Hackett, me gusta mas que Gabriel o Collins, mis respetos, gracias por subir tus videos.

[@lampynoiseboy]

Here is a little known fact...Steve is credited with inventing tapping! he was the first guy to tap the frets!

[@XanAxDdu]

that is generally according being true, it is always good to remember it

[@mario94parrain]

@ladislas59 First album "Voyage" is one of the greatest albums ever ! And my favorite Hackett too :)

[@oahiska]

The "I just kicked ass" salute at the end (which is justified by the way he kicked ass).

[@lazlocarreidas]

chapeau!

[@marty9660]

camera man knows noting about the outstanding part of the song. just when Steve starts playing the best parts the camera man shoots the back of the drummer. daaaaa!

[@GalacticCowboy]

Un-bloody-real!

[@arkanoiddude]

Not certain if it was solely Hackett, since Collins was a known jazz fanatic back in those days, and the band were very influenced by King Crimson in those early years. Plus, odd time signatures were what was going on in England in the early 70s.

[@tullfan7872]

The discordant stanzas in this song are very much like King Crimson.

[@westrokker]

hard to believe this was 30 years ago

[@letmeouttamycage]

Its a good job not all music is this good or we would never leave the house

[@Jpeterson7]

That band was so tight it was ridiculous.

[@fvzaking8332]

Genio!

[@yeshead]

Thanks for posting these -- I've never seen them before. This and the other Montreaux vids are all instrumentals as far as I can see. Was Pete Hicks not brought along for this?

[@frost-80]

Remembers me everyday

[@letmeouttamycage]

good ol nick magnus :)

[@khandrum100]

Musical genius

[@NicOzark]

I think he learned to play that way when soloing. One of his trademarks is that he plays lots of slides in his solo lines, especially when he's using scales. And that particular kind of fingering contributes to the uniqueness ofhs sound and phrasing (look at 2'23"" in the video).... anyway, he uses the fourth finger when playing chords or classical pieces...

[@letmeouttamycage]

yeah that was john on the flute.. ace vid

[@toskidus]

bass solo make me fan of this

[@Lyktwz]

Un músico soberbio, muy buen maerial...

[@martinfilas]

joya!

[@arkanoiddude]

67k views, not even 400 likes? What gives?

[@panzerken]

Fantastic! I saw him at a club in SF CA. during this period. Who was the drummer!!???

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Drummers name is John Shearer and he had what was probably the largest drum kit ever seen, it took half the stage up lol

[@panzerken]

Marc Worthington Oh yeah, I remember that name. He was really good! Wonder what became of him?

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

Steve stopped using him in the eighties, I'm sure someone will know what became of him, I cannot be bothered going to Wikipedia at the moment lol

[@panzerken]

Marc Worthington Thanks.

[@fbgtr]

This is genius

[@jean-francoispayette92]

On voit d ou vient le génie de Genesis , ben oui c est Hackett

[@cbast2]

@Paulywog282000 What a coincidence, I expressed the same sentiment in a comment I left on another Steve Hackett video just a few minutes ago.

[@letmeouttamycage]

Nick magnus is class isnt he !

[@letmeouttamycage]

@trevizons top comment mate!!

[@rockdrigresivo]

Prefiero la versión del álbum en vivo "Time Lapse", es mas rápida. Saludos. I prefer the live version from "Time Lapse" album, its more faster. Greetings.

[@guitarzann]

30 years ago and no bands today can touch it all new publically displayed music should be banned!!

[@jimzushi]

That's a toss up between hackett and Harvey Mandel.

[@Lyktwz]

This song is from "Cured"?

[@twpudd]

No, Defector

[@EvilFrogX]

criminal

[@trevizons]

@skintrade And Steve didn't like Tony's, Mike's and Phil's direction of music either, let alone the way they started making Genesis a Pop General Dancing Music, Steve is and was right and He's proven it, good thing He got rid of those guys and created His own dream ... Besides Tony was always jealous of Steve's creativity and the driven force of his arrangements in the making of those old Genesis Masterpieces ! Otherwise tell me something real and good about Tony Banks !

[@vco1-706]

That drummer is so pedestrian. Imagine what Phil Collins in his prime could have done with this!

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

John Shearer was a cracking drummer, only problem for Steve at the time was Johns kit tended to take up over half the stage lol.

[@ksjoyjespeace]

@pinkfloydrule27 satanic ??!! far from that label,this is HEAVENLY MUSIC !!! satan does not know music,how can he ,he has NO LOVE, God loves you !!!

[@PeterMayer]

I like some of Steve's work but as a primary song writer, not any more.
