Words can’t adequately describe the brilliance of the Steve Hackett gig at Manchester's Art Deco Apollo the other week; from the theatre-vibrating bass pedals on the opening number of Dance of a Volcano, through a myriad of magical moods and songs, I realised that never mind that old “Gabriel-era Genesis versus the post-Gabriel era” debate, it is in fact the Steve Hackett-era Genesis that is the most remarkable to me.
Those six studio albums from Nursery Cryme to Wind and Wuthering created classic pieces that still hold their own 40 years later. Thank you Mr Hackett and his fabulous band, and well done to the Prog Mill show on Stafford Radio, celebrating 100 editions last Sunday. Here’s to many more of both…
Yes, unQuiet indeed. Nice choice.

I was a huge Genesis fan for many years and I do own a few Steve Hackett albums. He will play a gig in Sweden in April, I might buy a ticket.
