Last night we went to see "Genesis Revisited II" with Steve Hackett, one of the early members of the supergroup that was Genesis.
It was a real trip down the time tunnel, with a set list of tracks from the early Genesis years (Steve Hackett left after the Wind and Wuthering LP), featuring songs like "Carpet crawlers", "Firth of Fifth", "Supper's Ready" and many I recall shouting for at concerts when I was in my 20s.
Alas that was a long time ago now, and seemingly the same for the rest of the audience. Odd thing though - it was pretty loud, and I would imagine most of the audience would be the first to complain of a noisy wedding disco!
The music was beautifully handled, as you would expect, faithful to the original recordings. Such a joy to see my favourite guitar solos played by the guy that created them 40 years ago. Steve Hackett can still shred.
Don't be surprised to hear a 12 minute Genesis track on the show tonight - but I doubt if it will be the "singalong"!
