STEVE HACKETT - The Steppes (Live at the Royal Festival Hall, London)

[@brianandrews8212]

Love the Middle Eastern flavour to this tune Steve never seems to grow any older.Long may he continue to make amazing music.

[@GV650Biker]

Steve Hackett is my guitar hero, you don't need to thrash a guitar to an inch of its life to be a great guitarist, Steve makes his guitars sing! Never tire of listening to him.

[@jean-francoispayette92]

.the Ciaconne of Johanne Sebasrie Bach . man . my God , just Hackett can playing this my friend , saw Hackett live on Montreal he play Suppers Ready

[@jean-francoispayette92]

RIGHT , A MIdsummer Nights Dreams and Metamorpheus are 2 Albums with Orchestres composed by Steve Hackett , 2 Classics Compositions it s 2 Guitar Concertos for Orchestre , ask it to other guitarist today or since 80 years , nothing , Hackett his a brain Composer and Hackett play The Ciaconne of Johanne Sebastian Bach and create the tapping guitar technics in 1970 and create many compositions in 70s for genesis , like and since 40 yeears , anyway , we understand

[@jean-francoispayette92]

Steve composed many for Kim , and for Genesis

[@germanbarros7115]

Absolutamente de acuerdo contigo...

Rob Townsend makes this wonderful song perfect!

A Magnificient Bolero Ravel in the 80's

[@DavidWilliams-ff7xg]

Heard this live on the Defector Tour in I think 1981. Opening track at Liverpool Empire. Pure musical talent.

[@alunepps4272]

I was at Portsmouth in 1981. Great gig but he seems to get better! Seeing him in October 2024

[@greg-warsaw4708]

The entire album (2CD + DVD) from Royal Festival Hall is breathtakingly, sensationally great. Every minute you've got goosebumps or tears in your eyes. It is so beautiful, perfectly performed and spectacular. You are so impressed by the power and presence of Jonas on bass & 12-string, awesome skill and energy of Gary on drums (and then he surprises you coming out as a fabulous lead singer!), cool perfection of Roger, multi-instrument prowess of Rob, graceful and subtle contribution by Amanda, and beyond words guitar genius of Steve. After watching the DVD you end up firmly convinced you need look no further for the greatest living guitar player. So tasteful, inventive, rich in techniques, multi-faceted (electric, 12-string, classical nylon) and talented that you never again look at ridiculous rankings of guitar players, most of them reiterating the same group of shredders, and usually focusing on speed playing and metal music (don't get me wrong, I like and respect some of them too).

[@rael2099]

Hackett's Bolero. Awesome.

[@edwardspearing5148]

Love the Wicklow London Irish bloke No fool O'Toole.. Top of the range. Marvellous Percussionist... You'll never beat us Irish... Then again the Italianos... Sure can drive the boogie..

[@philmanson2991]

Out of all the Genesis alums, Steve has ALWAYS stayed true to his prog roots! He and Steve Howe are THE SHIT!!

Watching Genesis live from 1973 and then this, I have realised Steve Hackett is immortal, both metaphorically and literally !

Probably the most understated and modest axeman out there. He presents a narrative through his playing.

[@ignatzmuskrat3000]

This composition is stupendous in the way it slowly reveals the entire theme over time. I can't recall any other that does this. Kudos to the original bassist.

[@toddkeating5214]

I saw him in Minneapolis tonight. It was an awesome performance!

[@sandro6483]

A single note from Steve is better than a hundred notes from any other guitarist

[@richardpennington5445]

This track has the ability to reduce me to tears. Only three tracks can do this including ‘Drive Home’ by Steven Wilson and the first guitar solo in ‘Comfortably Numb’.

[@didierbion8056]

I just love this band.

[@briane5706]

Fantastic in itself, more so with the orchestra.

[@srappose1]

Maybe its best track ever!

Hackett keep early styles of Genesis， he also continues art and progressive rock from 80 to 90 2000, he could keep his formula at rock music that we can enjoying until now

Song reminds me of the invasion of Russia the Russian front Operation Barbarossa 1942🗝️💀💔🌎🌍🌏

[@frankgarnevicus1187]

We all hear different things. I hear him deconstructing Ravel's Bolero and then reimagining it into something far superior in an organic way.

[@darcsaster]

with respect to all involved, where is that other recording that was up on youtube for a long time? can't find it....the orchestra does nothing for me. Again, with all respect...

Can you imagine the resume of the keyboard player..can anyone tell me who he is..?

[@MetalTalk_net]

Roger King. Longstanding collaborator. First worked with him on the first Genesis Revisited album in 1996. He's also part of Nick Beggs' 'The Mute Gods' prog trio, that also includes Marco Minneman, who are well-worth checking out.

[@dgcmusi]

Thanks so much for the info...metaltalk

[@stevedrums1675]

Is the keyboardist Steve's brother?

[@swinetrek]

No. Steve's brother John, plays flute, woodwinds, bass pedals and guitar but isn't on this song. More's the pity. He's far better than Townsend.

[@josephp.reilly]

His current keys are played by Roger King

Great song but that lengthy intro was unnecessary. It even take out some of the magic of the original overture. But hey, that guy had to shine somewhere.. :)
