In my top ten of the greatest pieces of music mankind has ever created, and Steve has only made it better with every passing year.

[@denveradams4909]

The Progressive Rock band, Genesis, originated this song. Steve Hackett was in the band when this song was first released. There are different versions of this song, but this fusion of Prog Rock and symphony orchestra is just fantastic just overwhelms the senses.

[@mickthemerciless9694]

Steve is a very original guitarist with that rare thing, an identity.

[@markjohnson4217]

Steve Hackett, the former guitarist from Genesis, left the band in 1978. He has since bought the rights to perform much of their early material from the Peter Gabriel era 1969-1974. I highly recommend Steve Hackett's version of 'Supper's Ready' the greatest masterpiece from Genesis.

1977

[@Southbound63]

Suppers Ready and Close to the Edge by Yes are my favourite songs ever both are incredible live.

[@magiegainey5036]

Never heard this rendition! It is fabulous!

[@flyonthewindshield3653]

Actually this is Genesis song from 1973. Steve was the lead guitar in those years. Peter Gabriel and Phil Collins being the most recognized members. Very , very cool someone asked you to listen.

[@rk41gator]

It is so great that Steve keeps this music alive.

[@garyvanremortel5218]

50yr old music that is still way ahead of the curve.

[@paulhooton6261]

Good to watch someone who simply enjoys this on the emotional level, just as I do. I have little knowledge of musical theory or any ability to play an instrument. I just love listening to it.

[@patcow9999]

Glad you enjoyed this version, Sarah, all versions are great, but with orchestra and seeing the great Steve Hackett perform one of the most iconic, beautiful guitar solos of all time. I've seen Genesis without Steve do this live, it's ok but not the same, I've also seen Steve Hackett do this live but without orchestra, that too was fabulous!

[@markfeggeler3479]

A great rendition of a song he worked on when he was in Genesis. You might also like some of his solo material such as Shadow of the Hierophant or Spectral Mornings.

[@Distant394]

Looking forward to seeing Steve Hackett in concert again next year 👍

[@ajmangbogsdee2398]

Great singing also

[@stvbrsn]

One of my favorite guitar solos ever. It’s not a big display of chops, like most “favorite guitar solos.” But instead, a phenomenal display of taste.

[@flyonthewindshield3653]

This is the epitome of note for note playing. Beethoven and Mozart, pianists wouldn't dare miss a note whereas most (99%) of guitarists play randomly, even the greats. That's what makes Steve special.

[@bramposthumus9300]

Ab-so-lute-ly THIS!

[@neilscarratt3568]

SUPERB CHOICE OF AN INCREDIBLE SONG

[@ragnarmyhr7238]

Steve is really showing what a guitarist he is.

[@michaelgnit8476]

Glad you enjoyed a wonderful piece of music that has stood the test of time.

[@stevedotwood]

you get out all the great ones out. You have good taste Sarah

[@Southbound63]

The Genesis Revisted gigs are fantastic keep them coming Steve.

[@reklovjj]

Yep the best live version indeed! We’re only missing PG at vocals but Nad’s doing a good job

[@jj-oc2sy]

It's not,it's missing Collins, banks and Rutherford, I can paint the Mona Lisa doesn't make me Da Vinci 😊

[@reklovjj]

@@jj-oc2sy lucky me I remember well the original G in the 70’s so sometimes copies have value

[@Wretchedone69]

The look on your face is the same look that I have every time that I have listened to this song.

[@minnyh]

First time listening to your reactions. I like them. Honest and insightful. Thank you :)

[@justitia257]

Beautiful Song

[@AAA-o4g]

Written by Tony Banks, Rutherford helped with the lyrics

[@carlogns932]

I suggest to listen to Seconds out version. The orchestra here is too much! Believe me! I like your mood. 😍

[@Hj-ly4zx]

Fantastic version

[@pamagnolia]

Marvelous music!! Nice!!!😊

[@MisterWondrous]

One never tires. Thanks and happy holidays!

[@avantprog6902]

You must hear the original studio cut of this as well as," Cinema Show ".

[@torojoseph]

nice job

[@meot.meo.1097]

This song reminds me a lot of things from when i was younger... When i just walk to my work, and take some bus, had to work more than 100 kms away from my house and i was listening in my old MP3 player some Génesis's albums when there's still night outside... So much memories, smiles and tears with Genesis music in the soundtrack of my life. ❤️

[@edcliffe2988]

Not enough can be said for this piece, but it must be noted that it would not have been possible without the original writings of Tony Banks, who refuses to play the intro unless he has a bona fide grand piano to play it on. Respect.

[@sebastiansolimando1464]

greetings girl, good video as always, cordial greetings from 🇺🇾🤪✌️❤

[@alanFconrad]

Hi Sarah.......ever listen to "Suppers Ready" ?

[@alexchristopher221]

Steve's solo is the closest thing to an adagio on an electric guitar.

[@lphilpot01]

For a better version of this song check out either the original (from "Selling England by the Pound") or the live version on "Seconds Out". This version drags and the orchestra is ponderous, plus there's no sax nor clarinet in those other versions.

[@AAA-o4g]

Seconds out was the best Firth of fifth

[@stvbrsn]

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about a clarinet taking the flute solo… but otherwise this is pretty freaking awesome, so I guess I will accept it. Lol

[@alanFconrad]

Sounds good.....maybe drags a lil

[@ldoumen9904]

Unknown to the snapchat generation, as so many music...

[@FINEFELINE333]

Dare I say, better than the original ?

[@spinynormanbest6410]

NO!
