Steve Hackett - SUPPER´S READY - In collaboration with Todmobile and SinfoniaNord

[@marcanglin7127]

Very interesting to hear this Prog Gold Standard presented with a full orchestration, but it re-enforces my amazement that, originally, 5 young lads in their 20's composed and performed this epic with far less equipment 50 years ago.

[@manoahduriec4013]

Exactement cela, 5 génies talentueux qui ont construit une magnifique cathédrale d'harmonies sonores. Le plein pouvoir de l'imagination pour crier encore une dernière fois ce qu'est la condition humaine, avant le grand silence.

[@muhammadfirman4464]

and someone says that Bohemian Rhapsody is the most epic rock songs of all time.....well, those people never heard an album called Foxtrot in 1972

[@meunier621]

And " selling england by the pound" , " lambs lies on broadway" nursery cryme" " watcher of the sky" in live! Etc... but for the music, it was over! I remember, one concert in Paris 75-76 , unforgetable! Long life to you!!!

[@johnbutler4319]

You can't mention Queen and these tossers in the same sentence.

[@rossmedlyn8962]

From a truly iconic period of rock music with bands like Genesis , Yes , ELP , Pink Floyd , Led Zep.. Don't think we'll see the likes again 🙁

[@eddiesantiago4434]

"THE" masterpiece

[@alarmbells8518]

What a great singer. Supper`s Ready, a masterpiece.

[@leesyrjanen3947]

Hackett's solo at the end, HOLY SMOKES! One of the most underrated guitarists ever!

[@MrBoybergs]

Bloody incredible isn't it. Just when you think he cant come up with yet another beautiful melody around the chord changes, he does it again; and again.

[@lucasalvi4034]

Maybe the best prog song of all times! GREAT Steve Hackett but also GREAT SINGER, GREAT VOICE AND GREAT ORCHESTRA !!!

[@robertwoolgar8839]

It just goes to show that the music of bands like Genesis will stand up in centuries to come when the music can be reproduced like this. Should be at the prom concerts.

[@gerardbassols5268]

Steve's idea of revisiting his Genesis era has brought us back the opportunity of enjoying all these masterpieces again, and shows that the Ol' Great Prog lives and will live forever. An orchestral version of Supper's Ready is an icing on the cake, I don't mind this singer trying his own interpretation, he can sing well enough.

[@giofarace]

This is definitely the finest version of Supper's Ready ever played. Period. Thanks Icelanders for this magnificent Supper's Ready.

[@chimborazo]

I agree 100%. Jazznesis and Seconds Out tied for a close second place.

[@peterhammer4644]

I guess it's in the listeners ears but for me this is the worst version. Seconds Out or original on Foxtrot about million times better. And Hackett with Nad Sylvan.

[@alexxbaudwhyn7572]

Thor and Hackett do Suppers Ready My life is Complete

[@khandrum]

Why do people compare singers with the original just listen without prejudice this is music man

[@The666Steppenwolf]

This singer is fantastic . Instead of trying to be PG , as so many did before him, he is totally himself in style ..and simply wonderful in the end. The kind of stuff you can still do with the true , original Genesis...they are still a never ending gold mine. Greatest band that has ever lived . Each year that passes by confirms it even more .

[@anatoliyzhalnin8393]

well put!

[@nicolataylor853]

Incredible, amazing, unforgettable .... This and Awaken with Jon are the finest arrangements of 2 incredible songs I've heard. Todmobile incredible job !!!!!!

[@marcparingaux9205]

I Llove the enthousiasm of the singer. I thought that Peter Gabriel was irremplacable, but here is a total different way and I like it. And all these magnificent musicians, the mix of a rock band and a symphonic orcheastra, these cute violin ladies, all this and that... Music with a big hige "M"; Thank you Mr Hackett !!!!

[@tobylogan7219]

Didn't know Rick Wakeman was such a good singer.

[@buckminster1579]

That's funny!

[@ArtCatramboneJr]

Ha!!!

[@ralphpschmidt]

All the pain, longing, joy and hope of humanity is in this song and this version. Congratulations to the composers (Genesis) and artists here for a great performance - it touches my soul 🙂

[@FahlstromJohn]

I traveled to Reykjavik and had lunch Harborside listening to this.....the more I hear this version the more I like it. Thanks to Steve Hackett and all in Iceland for the gift!!!

[@atrock92]

I dont know what to say. I'm seeing this version for the first time - I dont know why. The best prog-rock performance EVER, played by Steve and with this symphonic stuff and perfect vocals. Incredible.

[@kevbob]

Off. The. Hook. Amazing with a full orchestra behind it. When I lay dying, I want to hear Hackett's guitar sailing me away...

[@ornjonasson8873]

I was there (in Reykjavik) at this concert held Friday night January 16th 2015 with two good friends of mine who are also die-hard fan of Mr. Hackett and Genesis. What great experience this concert was! After the concert, I shake hands with Mr. Hackett and thanked him for this concert as well of thanking the band-members of Todbmobile for their contribution. Ps. Steve Hackett has always been my favorite Genesis band member.

[@andybyron1]

The passion of the choir and extra backing singers and musicianship of the band and orchestra with by SH on guitar. Absolutely fantastic

[@laurakaiser1615]

Tears....this is the best version of this masterpiece ever....my heart takes flight....no words....

[@bigjt141]

This along with Awaken with John Anderson are quite simply breathtaking. The orchestration is/are perfect for both epic songs. Thank you Todmobile for these. It's made a 58 year old cry and I'm enjoying every minute of it

[@todtodson8322]

You are welcome:)

[@dougmphilly]

this is so beautiful that i agree 100%.

[@guzzialfa]

Wow. I've seen Steve Hackett play Supper's Ready many times even with Genesis and Peter Gabriel but this was exceptionally powerful, graceful, enigmatic and wonderfully pleasurable to hear and see.

[@46GarageUSA]

You saw Genesis live play this many times ? Wow 😳 What years about ?

[@andrewlaitres9080]

Steve Hackett is one of the coolest guys on the planet.

[@fab2151]

This is a modern symphony ! Absolutely amazing ! If the world ends this will be a testament something good was done by humans !

[@martingregory161]

Brilliant version of the greatest prog song of all time. Kind of sad that some people can't just enjoy it for what it is without comparing it to Genesis: This isn't Foxtrot or Seconds Out; the singer's not Gabriel; the keyboard player ain't Banks. But it's superb all the same. Would love to see this concert released on Blu-ray.

[@todtodson8322]

Thank you:)

[@Erkilmarl]

Imagine people complaining that Beethoven's music is played without he himself conducting it...

[@ponybottle]

Steve Hackett looks like a man who feels his vision is being justified in this performance.

[@jean-francoispayette92]

co -writer of Suppers and Musical Box and many Of Genesis my friends he wrote Fountains

[@gustavomk11]

to minute 4:30 to 5:45 absolutely stunning!! In crescendo and powerful, rises the hair! Great vocalist, great sound Todmobile and Sinfonia Nord are fantastic! A superb performance of Steve as always!!!

[@chimborazo]

Best recorded performance of this song, by anybody, ever, by far.

[@TheTod10]

Thank you:)

[@bertbekkernens5416]

Best song ever made, without competition, stunning and heart-breaking, very good performance of this band, excellent singer, keep GENESIS ALIVE please, we will never see this quality of music again

[@ursscherler6229]

The most overwhelming thing of it: the composition, how could they be so creative as a band in their early years? this peace is written for eternity, don't you think? What a huge contrast to the 3 minutes pieces of today, by one singer with just a "good voice"!

[@MrUsermister]

... What a huge contrast to the 3 minutes pieces of today, by one singer with just a "good voice"! ... not even that ... it's autotune all the way

[@alovering92]

And at least seven producers all sticking fingers in the pie

[@MrUsermister]

Andrew James ps: and most of the times it's not even a "piece"

[@getoffmylawn7369]

This is so epic no further comments are needed, however: The way the band fades out and the last time through the cord progression is the string players only makes me cry every time, beautiful arrangement

[@sasheaf]

The sustained high notes Eybor hits at the 19:40 mark are magnificent! Very underrated singer in the world.

[@benbermusics]

What a singer! ❤ Does PG justice. Good falsetto, great theatrics, powerful and weird enough!!!

[@Southbound63]

This and Close to the Edge are both fantastic. I was so lucky to live through this era.

[@usaturnuranus]

This era of (mainly) British rock - 1970 through, what, 78? Most deeply immersive, enveloping, emotionally powerful and moving in the history of what gets called "rock and roll". I won't say it's better, because who the hell am I to judge other people's taste and experience - but this is hands down my favorite era, and not by a little.

[@fryk2462]

Whoa!!! God exists on the hands of this man. His solo at the end is simply unsurpassable. And the arrangement and the orchestra are stratospheric.

[@charlesnolan7602]

45 years on, and Supper is STILL ready!

[@Imjustsayin99]

Setting all disputes aside, if I were Banks and Rutherford I’d would like to be involved. This production completely pulls this piece out of the 1970’s and makes it current. Thank you Steve Hackett! Awesome.

[@Imjustsayin99]

I think an operatic production would play out nicely.

[@sunlightcaller6219]

The backup female singer does a really fantastic job

[@BradHill-e8l]

The singer Eythor has such a crystal clear singing voice. Flawless and placid as the smoothest lake.

[@Rucky888]

I must have watched this a hundred times now. Great camerawork, great editing, and 22:40 Steve looks over with the "what a voice who is this guy!" look, then lays into it.

[@bradhill1099]

Eythor Ingr

[@AlexanderRummel]

One of the best songs ever written, beautifully performed by all of you guys... Thank you! I am in awe!

[@crispyrobot77]

Bravo! Magnificent performance by Todmobile and SinfoniaNord. Some songs are Timeless..THIS song is one of those songs (it's on the jukebox at the "Valhalla Bar and Reindeer Grill") . Wonderful vocal interpretations by Eyþór Ingi Gunnlaugsson. Love Steve's eerie and haunting guitar whammy at 9:48 and also the Strings at 25:04 followed by Steve's "alien birds/seagulls" at the very end to finish the song. It's difficult to improve upon a Genesis song but Steve Hackett, and friends, continue to do so with each passing day. Elska Eilíf !

[@mono4328]

I love the fact that the singer is bringing his own character and staying away from PG and PC. Enjoyed the whole performance

[@kstroup1200]

Steve unleashed is correct… what a finale!!!

[@alexanderorest4243]

Well, what can I say! This is a masterpiece! And this execution - WOW

[@styxenterprises]

yep. about as good as it gets.

[@gr.vo.3058]

This song has aged like fine wine. To perfection.

[@peterwhite6292]

This is my "go to" often after a beer or two. I love the orchestration and all of its components. There are many great versions of Suppers Ready and each will provoke a memory or provoke a thought in all of us. This is.the one which works best for me. Thanks to all of the original line up and in particular Steve and Peter for keeping the original real. Where would I be without it...... ? Hugely appreciated.

[@raylong4689]

It's brilliant.

[@LeeHardingakaFirmament]

Wow! I loved the collaboration with Jon Anderson and this, with the always great Steve Hackett, is equally impressive. Marvellous stuff.

[@rk41gator]

It makes my heart soars to hear this magnificent music still being played. So faithful to the original, this only makes me more in awe of Genesis as a band and writers!

Singer is wild man. Extremely great cover

[@SwisstedChef2018]

Steve is a real Gentleman, he goes and helps these bands out all over the World with appearing and playing with them, no ego, no faltering, just the love for the music he co-created with one of the greatest bands ever. Genesis.

[@SwisstedChef2018]

AND with an Orchestra, amazing there is no end to the early Genesis music, some of the most beautiful music ever created, we look at a guy who played with the best, from Genesis, to John Wetton, Steve How, Chester Thompson, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on... and NEVER did he build an ego about himself, that is because he knows he is terrific. I saw him in US this year, in Australia 3 years ago and I will go seeing him until the. day I die.

DearTod, What a wonderful surprise on "Father's Day" in LA, California!! Goosebumps at the end of 9/8 and the New Jerusalem... Great mixing! and I am happy that you give justice to Eyþór's amazing voice. Love delicate closure with the strings... I will be in Assisi, Italy, July 2, guest of a Genesis fans convention and I will show it at the end of my Genesis App presentation - or before!!??

Fantastic performance. Can't see it often enough. Compared to "normal" shows of Steve Hacket with own band, everything tastes like new, fresh, extraordinary. Singer is very very good, orchesra combines +++.Same effect when Jon Anderson was "guestsinger" with Todmobile. Please ask Rick Wakeman to have a concert with you and orchestra. Searching for a new level :)

[@pthomas36]

I have heard so many different renditions of this song, by Genesis, Steve Hackett, The Musical Box, but this... This is very very special. I was in Iceland in 2015 and visited the Harpa and it kills me to think I could have seen this live. What an extraordinary, fantastic performance. The only thing missing was a real whistle but that is a minimal remark. Congratulations to all for such a stupendous performance of Genesis' greatest opus.
