STEVE HACKETT - The Cinema Show (Live at Hammersmith, 2019)

[@steveclark1884]

I am surprised to read any of the criticism aimed at this group of musicians who play these songs without fault. I've seen Genesis many times with their original line-up in the 70s and l can tell you they were also fantastic together. The recorded sound is far better now though, and l think Steve's choice of each of the recent shows musicians including Nad Sylvan is impeccable. What more could you ask. Keep it up for us Steve & co. Thanks

[@ProgFanification]

Can't wait to see this band in at a n April 2022! Don't give up!🤗

[@TinnyHidge]

A class act. So glad Steve is carrying the torch for Genesis. He has a world class band here. Craig Blundell is one of my favourite drummers too. Magic!

[@abbyrhodes814]

So strange, he walked away from Genesis and here in 2020 where do I go for that classic sound? Thanks for keeping it alive.

[@arthurenzo3075]

I have never heard a better rock drummer. Unbelievable exact with unbelievable sense of rhythm. This line up is better than the great original. Very sure. This is a world class band!!! With the new bassist Jonas Reinhold its even better.

[@stephenwilliamson5258]

'Cinema Show' musically is just an absolutely amazing performance. As Steve H. says the tune starts off as a simple love song. And then builds to something incredible. Kudos to all the wonderful musicians featuring in Steve Hackett's magically superb sounding band. From vocals, Alt saxophone, Roger's keyboards, incredibly amazing drumming from Craig Blundell with all that rhythm, the incredible guitar renditions. I loved the thwang thwang thwang machinations from the combinations of drums, guitars and all instruments towards the end which just send me. Count those 8 bars in repetition which leads into the finale.

[@peterschmidt1936]

One of my all time favorite songs, albums. Steve’s choice of musicians is spot on. Beautifully played.

[@leo50519]

With the exception of Gabriel, I just wonder what the other Genesis members think of his shows. He’s keeping their music alive like no one else.

[@edzts]

Being there live is breathtaking. The craftsmanship of all the musicians is extraordinary. I get chills.

[@winstonschwarz1636]

How much of this is actually played live though? A friend, who works as a technician with all the big groups, reliably informed me that it is a rarity that bands play live in big venues anymore.

[@edzts]

@@winstonschwarz1636 Every musician on that stage played their instruments. Absolutely.

[@odelljl]

Have seen this band 3 times. Everything is live I can assure you.

[@uckbee]

Seen them going back to 1980, and it's always been convincing Live!

[@sophiezanep]

To me, what sums up Steve Hackett is that although he could have, when he's playing the most amazing things effortlessly, he doesn't insist the camera is on him. In a lot of the old Genesis videos he's playing technically difficult and ground breaking things, and the director chose to show Peter Gabriel banging on a tambourine. And by choosing this song, he gives his loyal bandmates their own opportunities to shine. True measure of the Steve - just playing great music and being humble still.

[@damianb2374]

'The director chose'... implying some 'unfairness' or 'unbalance'? Which directors? Next you'll type the typical internet go-to: 'underrated'.

[@leo50519]

To me, it’s also the fact that he is an incredibly smart businessman. Creating this group and putting it on tour would be incredibly hard. He did it.

[@arimovision454]

thx Mr. Hackett, for bring the real Genesis music

[@Lasse_Viklund]

That drummer is insanely good!

[@wlouisharris]

yah, he really nailed it here and when I saw him in Atlanta recently.

[@luigilamberti1178]

Amazing...!! the best performance ever heard of Nad Sylvan on Hackett's gigs

[@TerryCadwell]

Didn't really know much about Craig blundell until he graced the stage with Steve's band...but wow!...what an absolute fantastic drummer...and for steve still the best in the world...God bless you mate for keeping genesis alive...

I'll argue with anyone that Hackett is one of the top 5 guitarist of all-time. Maybe 3.

[@Fogeyspasm]

My Mum used to tell me it was a saying here up North in the UK they said about the Trawler men who'd come home and on the weekend basically spend their wages on goods and booze before they had to go to sea again. They used to regularly come into the shop she worked in and buy big TV's, Music Centres or the latest Vinyl Records.

[@deckertcain4587]

So true

[@alaingass1714]

Fantastic song - one of the best ever from Genesis - and Nad Sylvan is fantastic - so difficult to sing any epic songs sung by Peter Gabriel - and Steve Hackett, a guitar genius...I can only say WOW

[@briane5706]

[@kirbysinclair9936]

Playing the Genesis version live versus Steve's band, I would say that Steve's Band sounds better live. The keyboards, guitars, bass and drums were awesome, and the vocalist and soprano sax were great too. A thoroughly enjoyable listen.

What a brilliant performance and album this is. I'm lucky enough to have it on both vinyl and cd and have listened to it several times since the post man delivered it last month. I'm almost loathe to suggest it but I can't stop wondering if the drums would have been better if Gary O'Toole had been on here instead of the excellent Craig Blundell. Can't have been easy for Blundell to fill the seat that the magnificent O'Toole had occupied for twenty years.

[@randomguestobserving6071]

As a drummer heavily influenced by Collins I tend to disagree. Blundell is closer to Phil's playful/colorful style which came to perfection with A Trick of the Tail and Brand X of course and his first blossoming with "Selling England..." Felt always sad that he didn't pursue a career as Top Tier Drummer btw. ...:(

Realize, that this song was written and created by a bunch of kids back in 1973. They were 23 years old! Compare that kind of musicanship and maturity with most of today’s 23 year old

[@sevenstarsofthedipper1047]

My favorite line is “Once a Man, like the Sea I raged; once a Woman, like the Earth I gave. There’s a little more to Earth than Sea.” Profound.

[@MrDingDong2]

Great video! First time I've heard the ending played live in a relatively slow tempo. I miss the energy from Phil's drumming, but besided that, splendid.

[@MirkkoDeMaio]

Awesome!!!!!!

Love this as well as Steve and the lads but the quality is a wee bit too perfect for a live performance which believe me is a complaint I've never made before.

I hate to be a hater, but this version feels lifeless compared to the "Seconds Out" version. Sound quality may be better, but the performance falls flat. The keyboard solo from "CInema Show" is may favorite piece of Genesis music, and the version here does not have Tony Banks' energy. All the same notes, but not the same feel. I realize that is a subjective response, and folks will disagree. It is what it is.
