'The best band in the world' and why he quit: A conversation with Steve Hackett of Genesis

The last time Steve Hackett played Phoenix was on a tour that found the Genesis guitarist performing "Selling England By the Pound" in its entirety.

Three years later, he's revisiting another favorite from the years he spent pushing the musical envelope with the prog-rock pioneers under the banner of Genesis Revisited, a name he first used to title an album-length tribute to his former band in 1996. 

"Seconds Out" was primarily recorded in June 1977 over the course of four nights at the Palais des Sports in Paris as part of the "Wind & Wuthering" tour (although one track was captured the previous June on a tour in support of "A Trick of the Tail").

It's the album they were mixing when Hackett announced that he was leaving to go solo.

'It was a perfect creative machine.'   An oral history of Alice Cooper's 'Killer' at 50

How Steve Hackett developed Genesis Revisited

Hackett started the process of focusing tours on particular Genesis albums several years ago, performing what he felt to be the strongest tracks on "Wind & Wuthering," his final studio recording with the group. 

Performing "Selling England By the Pound" in its entirety was an obvious move. It's his personal favorite and the one on which he feels they really hit their stride as artists. 

"Seconds Out" is a bit of a cheat in that it features highlights pulled from several classic albums. But that's partly why he chose it.

"Cherry-picking through these albums to do in their entirety, 'Seconds Out' is a live compilation of just about everything we did between the years 1971 and 1977," he says. "And it was a much-loved album, especially on this side of the Atlantic."

There's more than 95 minutes of music on that album, including such classics as "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway," "Supper's Ready," "Firth of Fifth" and "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)."

He and the members of his touring band are also doing additional Genesis material and highlights of his solo years. 

They're staying "very faithful" to the Genesis arrangements while fleshing them out with additional instrumentation.

"We've added brass and woodwinds and many other things in order to fill the sound out," Hackett says. "And I do it with a virtuoso team that can play the balls off the material. So it's done respectfully, but also not slavishly."

Could this be King Crimson's final US tour? A conversation with bassist Tony Levin

'It's basically music without prejudice'

Hackett was 20 when he got the call from Peter Gabriel responding to an ad he'd placed in Melody Maker seeking "receptive musicians, determined to drive beyond existing stagnant music forms."

"I had been advertising myself for years," he says. "When I started out, I thought I was gonna be a straight blues player. But music started to change during those five years I was advertising myself."

He landed the gig, despite the tiny amplifier he'd been using in his bedroom being drowned out by the power of Phil Collins' drumming.

The appeal of the music Genesis set out to do was obvious to Hackett's ears.

"You had all these separate genres and once they started to cross talk and fertilize each other, you had what people would now call progressive," Hackett says.

"Back in the day, we were calling a lot of it fusion, and latterly, collision. So many different schools of thought colliding. But it's basically music without prejudice." 

They even drew on comedy.

"When we were on Charisma Records, we were stablemates with Monty Python," Hackett says. "And of course, all of that was hugely influential. It was part of the British wave. You know, the British are coming — perhaps — again."

At 19, Alan Parsons recorded the Beatles. How that 'life-changing' experience shaped him

'We were allowed to do exactly what we wanted'

As luck would have it, Hackett's time in Genesis coincided with an era in which artists were given the freedom it takes to arrive at albums as unique as "Selling England By the Pound" or "Foxtrot."

"In the wake of the Beatles, on the coattails of all that, we were allowed to do exactly what we wanted," Hackett says. 

In 1973, that freedom of expression led to Hackett's favorite album, "Selling England By the Pound," which happens to open with what Hackett feels is Genesis' finest hour, "Dancing With the Moonlit Knight."

"You're starting off with the influence of Scottish plainsong — a cappella singing — which then becomes anthemic with references to Edward Elgar and all that stuff, and then it starts to change," he says. 

"It's as if Mozart hits the electric chair. No two bars are the same after that, so it becomes truly progressive and then fades out on one of the quietest jams ever done by any rock band. But it still works. It keeps the tension going."

'I was an empty vessel': How a Beatles biographer spent 5 years digging into Led Zeppelin

'It's extremely experimental and yet it all comes off'

It also features some "truly incredible drumming" from a young Phil Collins, who comes at the song from what Hackett believes is "a jazz school approach."

His love of "Selling England By the Pound" goes well beyond that one song, though. 

"Each track on that album had something to say," he says. "So it's extremely experimental and yet it all comes off."

He points to "More Fool Me," which he considers to be Collins' first attempt at a love song, and "The Battle of Epping Forest," which he says is basically long-form progressive comedy.

"It's closer in spirit to Gilbert and Sullivan than anything else," Hackett says. "It's different characterizations that Peter Gabriel was coming up with at the time — not just doing a vocal but being a number of different characters."

For Genesis, the album was still very much the thing. But "Selling England By the Pound" also featured their first charting U.K. single, "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)." 

Hackett says he pushed the band to that song.

"I was working on them, like Chinese water torture, with the guitar riff that the song was based on," he says. 

"So I was very happy when that song took off. I used to joke about it as our latest hit single, not thinking it was gonna be a hit single at all. I was just kidding."

'It was so different from what any other rock band was doing.' A conversation with Rick Wakeman

'It all just took off like a rocket'

There was a great deal of teamwork involved in producing those records.

Hackett points to "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight” as a case in point.

"Pete — Peter Gabriel — had the song part written," he says. 

"So we used that but everybody kicked in with ideas eyeball to eyeball. I said, 'Oh, I've got this bit of tapping that might work.' Tony came up with this incredible Mellotron cello meets distorted electric piano that sounded a bit like Prokofiev meets I don't know what. And it all just took off like a rocket."

As with any team, it didn't always come together without some degree of tension.

"I think that all teams that have a number of cooks, especially if they're good, there are gonna be tensions," Hackett says. "There certainly was that within the team, but I think the positives far outweighed the negatives."

He only left the group, he says, because they didn't want him making solo records.

"I did a solo album while I was in the band and that became a hit," he says.

"That kind of placed a cat amongst the pigeons. Up 'til then, I had been fairly passive. Although I'd been an active writer, I'd been passive politically within the band. But I wasn't prepared to have stillborn brain children."

'My allegiance had to be, first and foremost, to music'

He was tired of having what he felt were great ideas end up on the cutting room floor.

"Once you've done something on your own and you've seen it take off, you've been the captain of your own ship, it's very hard to go back to being a member of the crew, you know — subordinated to the whims of others," Hackett says. 

"So, even though I think it was the best band in the world, sometimes you have to work outside the confines of a band in order to come up with the best within yourself. And my allegiance had to be, first and foremost, to music."

Hackett is, however, more than happy to revisit what they managed to accomplish as a team in these performances.

"I'm honoring the best of what we did at that time without the constraints of composition by committee, because it can be very, very good," he says.

"But just like the Beatles, when you listen to what Harrison was capable of when he left the band, I think that's a blueprint for so many band experiences."

Hackett’s band members for the 2022 Genesis Revisited tour include longtime keyboardist, arranger, and producer Roger King, who also plays some guitar, bassist Jonas Reingold, singer Nad Sylvan, woodwind player Rob Townsend, who also plays keyboards, and drummer Craig Blundell.

Concert Review: Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited – Ft. Lauderdale, FL, April 23rd, 2022

Review of the Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited show in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, April 23rd, 2022

One of many tours forced to postpone during the past two years of the pandemic was Steve Hackett’s brilliant Genesis Revisited tour.  Having originally planned to appear at The Parker in Ft Lauderdale two years ago, the legendary guitar icon and Hall of Fame member of Genesis was finally back to a sold out crowd. Over the past couple of years Hackett has performed full albums on tour whether it was Selling England by the Pound, or the classic love album Seconds Out .  To make up for the missed dates, the audience was treated to full performances of both albums, and what a treat it was.

The set opened with “Squonk” kicking off the first half of the Seconds Out double album.  The sound of the bass pedals and pounding drums next to the wondrous guitars and opening flute refrain were an overwhelming way to start the show.  Long time vocalist Nad Sylvan was incredible and has fully embraced the role as the perfect voice to channel both Gabriel and Collins era material with his own unique flair.  Classic song after classic song came next from “The Carpet Crawlers”, “Robbery, Assault & Battery” to “Afterglow” and Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”.  This led to the ending portion of “The Musical Box” before diving into the epic track “Supper’s Ready,” one of the all-time great songs.  This extended version with Hackett shredding for what seems like hours at the end is something to behold.  There was an intermission to follow, but it could’ve ended there and the audience would have been satisfied.

The band returned to perform the entire Selling England by the Pound album, beginning with “Dancing with the Moonlit Knight”.  The two highlights of this set were no doubt “Firth of Fifth” and “The Cinema Show”, both getting standing ovations that went on forever.  Bassist/guitarist Jonas Reingold was brilliant throughout, providing any extra guitars when needed, often playing a double neck bass/guitar.  Meanwhile, keyboardist Roger King, and Rob Townsend, playing anything from flute to sax to percussion, made each song sound like it was the album itself.

For the encore, the group came out with “Dance on the Volcano” leading into a brief drum solo from Craig Blundell, who was spectacular throughout the show.  They then closed with the instrumental “Los Endos”.  It ended what was a brilliant night of some of the greatest music ever created.  I’ve seen this show many times and I’ve always left in awe and appreciation.  I would gladly see this show every year forever.  If you’re a fan of Genesis, this is not a show to miss.

I couldn’t have said it any better. I saw the show the previous night in Clearwater and it was probably the best concert I’ve seen in my life. We’ll done Steve Hackett and your Band!

I attended the Cincinnati show at the Taft Theater…the best ” church service” I’ve ever attended!!! Thanks to Steve and the band for giving us this,still sooo relavant, set of music!!! A MUST for not only Genesis fans, but the World, in general!

Great show in Clearwater the night before (where do they get their energy?)

Saw Steve’s band for the first time about a month ago in NJ. The most exhilarating show I’ve seen in many many years!

Too bad that the 1st portion of the original set was left off. It had started with Clocks in earlier shows, followed by Hackett compositions that were not all Genesis. I’ve seen him tons & indeed loved every minute, but his individual work is also outstanding & would have been better for the show than following “full album” playlists. Here’s what we missed:

First Set Clocks – The Angel of Mons Held in the Shadows Every Day The Devil’s Cathedral Shadow of the Hierophant

I would have much rather he played these songs than “Robbery, Assault & Battery” & others….

This was the set he played in Seattle, the last stop on the North American tour. It really made the show a Steve Hackett performance, than just a Genesis reboot.

The concert was about the Genesis-era compositions that Steve Hackett was part of. I, too, would have loved to hear A Tower Struck Down, for example, but I would have been at the wrong concert tour.

Nice I would like to see him again

I attended one of the last concerts in America before Covid cancelled the tour. I am looking forward to his show tomorrow. Steve was an unappreciated piece in the Genesis sound. I would have chosen his show tomorrow over seeing Tony, Phil, and Mike’s farewell performance.

I saw the show at the Plaza Live in Orlando on 4/20, it was nothing short of Magical and understated elegance and beauty.

Saw them In Cleveland last night. The Goodyear Theater here has a top notch sound system so the band has never sounded cleaner. If 40-45 year old music can still bring tears of musical joy, something on stage is truly magical.

Saw them in Orlando, FL, drove all the way from Miami and it was worth every single round trip mile. SPECTACULAR!!

Saw them a n Orlando, drove all the way from Miami and it was worth every single round trip mile. SPECTACULAR!!

Going to the show tonight in LA, hoping they’re still performing both albums at this point. Cannot wait!

Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited Foxtrot at Fifty + Hackett Highlights

7th December 2021: Hot on the heels of his most successful solo tour ever, Steve Hackett announces his Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited - Foxtrot at Fifty + Hackett Highlights tour for 2022. The tour will mark the 50th anniversary of the legendary Genesis album Foxtrot which, in 1972, was pivotal in establishing the band as a major force in British rock. Tickets are available from 10am on Friday 10th December via myticket.co.uk.

Guitarist Steve Hackett joined Genesis in 1971, making his band debut on the Nursery Cryme album which enjoyed a greater commercial success in Europe than the UK. After extensive touring, the band were encouraged, by audience reactions, to further experiment with ever longer compositions and develop their ability to incorporate strong narratives. This, in turn, allowed frontman Peter Gabriel more opportunity to indulge in the theatrics which helped to raise the band's profile.

"I think Foxtrot was a terrific achievement for Genesis at that time," says Steve Hackett. "I think there is not one weak track on the album, they all have their strong points and I'm really looking forward to doing the whole album live."

Foxtrot was critically acclaimed and became the first Genesis album to make the UK album charts. The first track, the sci-fi influenced Watcher of the Skies became a fan favourite and perennial live set opener while Get 'Em Out By Friday was a cutting slice of social comment about concrete tower blocks replacing aging slums, driven not by concern for communities but by the greed of developers.

Hackett was the lead writer of Can-Utility and the Coastliners , featuring some particularly strong musical ideas, and also contributed his classically-inspired solo piece Horizons. "The original version was a rough mix but there was something about it. A rough monitor mix can have things that something more considered won't necessarily possess. I liked the sound of the rough mix, so we went with that."

The album's highlight was the 23-minute epic Supper's Ready which remains a concert favourite and featured on Hackett's recent Seconds Out tour. " 'Supper's Ready' was a sojourn, an odyssey and something that goes down very, very well with audiences now." Hackett adds. "As part of 'Second's Out' I've been playing the whole of that again, it really has stood the test of time. "

" We were a young, struggling band at that time. By the time we were doing 'Foxtrot', the band was becoming more ambitious. 'Foxtrot' is a must for fans of the early Genesis work. Fifty years ago? It doesn't feel like those ideas are fifty years old because it was-genre defining, rather than following trends. It still sounds current, now. "

The Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited - Foxtrot at Fifty + Hackett Highlights tour also promises more Genesis favourites and highlights from Hackett's extensive solo catalogue.

Steve Hackett and his touring line-up of Roger King (keyboards), Jonas Reingold (bass, backing vocals), Nad Sylvan (vocals), Rob Townsend (saxophone, flutes, additional keyboards) and Craig Blundell (drums) have recently completed the 31-date Genesis Revisited Seconds Out + More UK tour plus additional European dates. Hackett's most successful ever solo tour, this tour sold out most of the dates and received stunning reviews: " raising the audience fever to near delirium... celebrating what has been an imperious performance... We're a lucky bunch of fans to have Steve Hackett on this form. " Prog Magazine

" Hackett has certainly pulled together a world class ensemble of musicians befitting a guitarist of his stature... Breathtaking stuff ". MetalExpressRadio.com

" this is definitely your 'go-to-gig' of 2021 " ***** MMH Radio

" What a fantastic performance and night's entertainment " Brighton and Hove News

" When the sun sets on 2021... this show will be right at the top of the list " 10/10 Maximum Volume Music
