Following a sensational 2018 UK tour, legendary guitarist
Steve Hackett has announced the release of a 2CD + Blu-Ray digipak titled
'
Genesis Revisited Band & Orchestra: Live at the Royal Festival Hall' on 25th October 2019 via InsideOutMusic.
The album was recorded on 5th October 2018 at The Royal Festival
Hall, London, during the 2018 Genesis Revisited Tour which fulfilled a
long held ambition of Steve's: to perform the music of Genesis with a
live orchestra. The concert featured Steve's regular touring band of
Roger King (keyboards), Gary O'Toole (drums/percussion), Rob Townsend
(saxes) with Nad Sylvan on vocals and Jonas Reingold (The Flower Kings)
on bass, together with special guests John Hackett and Amanda Lehmann,
and augmented by the 41-piece Heart Of England Orchestra conducted by
Bradley Thachuk.
Steve commented -
"It was a fantastic experience for both the band
and myself to play alongside an orchestra and to feel the power of the
sound this extraordinary combo created. It sounds equally compelling on
both film and audio. I'm proud to release this exciting product."
The 2CD set includes tracks from Steve's time with Genesis and also from his extensive solo career.
