It's great Steve Hackett the ex-Genesis guitarist still plays this live in it's entirety. It is still absolutely amazing live. This is without doubt the the most epic of all The the Prog songs. An incredible journey, with amazing pieces of music all woven together to make this masterpiece. The ending still gives chills with the amazing crescendo and reprise in a different arrangement. The time sigs for this are off the scale. Pure 70s Genesis, Pure epic Prog.
I’m 62, I think I head this song for the first time at about 16, and continues to be one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands, and yes Steve Hackett is a very good guitarist and severely underrated for his body of work, he helped create some great music. It’s the first time seeing this for me and while the sound had great body with the orchestra, it just proves how great and talented all of the member or Genesis were…sorry are, considering it was released when the members of the band were 22-23 yrs old, and they created a masterpiece.
I had the pleasure of seeing Steve Hackett twice with Genesis. The first time with Peter Gabriel as lead. It was actually Supper’s Ready that turned me on to them. Master musicians all!
Yes ... One on my best memory from a Genesis Concert It was also with Peter Gabriel ... One of my first concert ... It's remind me that at this concert he played guitar sitting on a chair ... :) Second time I saw them was with "The lamb lies down on Broadway" ... Great concert too
I flew from my home in Mexico 2000 miles to San Francisco to see him play last year and it was well worth it. I can't imagine seeing him with a full orchestra!
The man who invented the guitar tapping technique (now frequently used in metal not the least) to help him off doing incredibly inventive guitar work starting with Genesis in '71
Steve Hackett is believed to have brought the 'tapping' on the guitar into rock music, years before the likes of Eddie Van Halen and others used it. It was a technique common in jazz before Hackett introduced it to the world of progressive rock.
Oh how I love this track although original line up can’t be beaten it’s not a bad alternative saw him live do this back in 2021 but wasn’t lucky enough have him accompanied with an orchestra I feel cheated lol , but that solo at the end I did get to hear and it was amazing live , great reaction 👍
Genesis ending - always epic, Steve Hackett = pure Genesis! And as experts says - Genesis music is very simple, but they match perfectly which is really insane! Steve Haktett can recreate this magic! His second name is Genesis ... as any other from Genesis: Peter, Phill, Steve, Mike ... they are all named Genesis in first name, this is unusual but normal for Genesis ... even after 40 years Steve is pure Genesis.
Very well orchestrated and arranged with all of the timing signatures and instrumentation happening! Great music! Steve Hackett is the man! This came out magnificently!
the first time I saw this song performed live is when Peter Gabriel was still in Genesis in 1973 at the Roxy in Los Angeles. I say this without any overstatement whatsoever. It changed my life forever 💥
A shame you didn’t do the whole thing. A classic prog song. Also, for an amazing Hackett song from recent years try Loch Lomond/Phoenix Flown from his album Beyond the Shrouded Horizon.
I’m old enough to have seen the Genesis line up w Peter Gabriel on lead vocals; everyone of them amazing musicians. SR is great but my top-2 would be Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show. You guys should really check out this era of British Prog Rock.
*Genesis* - Supper's Ready, performed by Steve Hackett and his band, *not* "Steve Hackett - Supper's Ready", don't just copy wrong titles and credits from someone else's video
My favorite version is on what I consider to be one of their best works & the one that got me into Prog "Seconds Out". Hackett was still there, but left right after & Collins had replaced Gabriel as lead singer not long before. Much much better in every way. Also, you really do need the whole song to get it in context, but it is around 25 minutes. It is amazing & unique though.
I like that you chose this live version, but why did you start it in the middle of the song? I have this concert. I had to watch the first half and then switch over to your video when it reached the right spot.
They do reactions for pay. I'm the requester. This length of music costs 50 bucks which is the max length you can buy. Someone else can spend 50 bucks for the first half....
Would like to see you done Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins version better. I mean that guy on key board s is good but he’s toney banks. Drums are lacking as well
Great cover with the original guitarist, however the [Genesis] studio version or Genesis live with or without Steve is Sooo much better... Tony Banks (keyboardist and composer) and Phil Collins on drums and vocals if not Peter Gabriel on vocals is a MUST see and way more musically impactful. A great [I think the best] live version I Highly suggest is from the live album Seconds Out when it was the first tour I believe that Phil Collins did vocals after Peter Gabriel left, and Phil sounded So much like Peter in that version with a little more flair imo, Oh and Steve Hackett was still with the band doing his great guitar work.
I'm the requester. They have set charges for different lengths. This length of reaction is 50 bucks. If you want the whole song, put your money down....
So somehow you missed the first 10 or 12 minutes of the song. This version is around 26 minutes; the original is just over 23. You should check out the entire recording. You would love it.
Not so great vocal, I swear the best vocal in this case would be - Lisa Gerrard! ... but I love you both sister and bro, my favorite reactors in youtube, keep calm!

Not bad for a 51 year old song and the original guitarist who is in his 70s! True class
This is the definition of prog rock at its best. Steve Hackett is definitely one of the guitar greats, so underrated.
His solo on A Firth of Fifth still drops me to my knees!
It's great Steve Hackett the ex-Genesis guitarist still plays this live in it's entirety. It is still absolutely amazing live. This is without doubt the the most epic of all The the Prog songs.

Underrated by the ignorant, appreciated by the true connaisseurs...
Steve Hackett is one of the greats! Very underrated guitarist! Early Genesis is awesome!

You have to go and see Steve Hackett live he is brilliant 18:35
Privileged to have been in the audience on two occasions to watch him play this iconic Genesis number.
Merci,merci beaucoup génésis toute ma jeunesse!!! THANKS 🤩😘
Great, Great, Great Guitarist and singer. Must do Steve Hackett live Watcher of the Skies
Go and see him with his band live, he tours extensively. I was at this concert and they totally brought the house down.
Hackett live are some of the best shows i've seen.
Please guys do the original version! its absolutley mind blowing!
That’s what I’m saying. Why not do at least Peter gabriels or Phil collins version
Steve Hackett is believed to have brought the 'tapping' on the guitar into rock music, years before the likes of Eddie Van Halen and others used it. It was a technique common in jazz before Hackett introduced it to the world of progressive rock.
Hai ragione. Negli anni '50/'60 Vittorio Camardese, puoi trovarlo su TH-cam suonava con questa tecnica. Ciao da Roma.
Saw him perform this live at Massey Hall...the man's a master!
Oh how I love this track although original line up can’t be beaten it’s not a bad alternative saw him live do this back in 2021 but wasn’t lucky enough have him accompanied with an orchestra I feel cheated lol , but that solo at the end I did get to hear and it was amazing live , great reaction 👍

Steve Hackett keeping the Epic era of Genesis alive....
Technical Brilliance
Best song ever written
Suppers ready is from the album 'Foxtrot' In my family it is known as the greatest album of all time ! The full song is 23 minutes long !
Now do yourselves a favour, and listen to the entire 23 minute studio version. The greatest progressive rock song ever written and recorded.
the first time I saw this song performed live is when Peter Gabriel was still in Genesis in 1973 at the Roxy in Los Angeles. I say this without any overstatement whatsoever. It changed my life forever 💥
A shame you didn’t do the whole thing. A classic prog song. Also, for an amazing Hackett song from recent years try Loch Lomond/Phoenix Flown from his album Beyond the Shrouded Horizon.
Thanks for reacting to this.
Mind blowing 👍
Just. this is twentyyears before you were born you babe...
One of the best songs ever written ! Revelations my friends !
Best song ever
This is the Magnum Opus of all time, it doesn't get any better than this.
I’m old enough to have seen the Genesis line up w Peter Gabriel on lead vocals; everyone of them amazing musicians. SR is great but my top-2 would be Firth of Fifth and The Cinema Show. You guys should really check out this era of British Prog Rock.
Peter's vocals are missing here, especially on As Sure As Eggs Is Eggs. Lacks punch.
You guys need to do the original version.
the full version is about 28 minutes long
Starting in the middle was an odd suggestion, but even half of this song is better than most.
You should watch the original album version if not a reaction just for yourself its a journey of magical sounds its in my top 10
"A flower?" ..... I NEVER tire of listening to this track - & never skip any of the 21+ mins. As you say, a classic.
It's Listenable. Lol🤣
Some of my favorite Hackettry in Eggs is Eggs.
*Genesis* - Supper's Ready, performed by Steve Hackett and his band, *not* "Steve Hackett - Supper's Ready", don't just copy wrong titles and credits from someone else's video
You guys would like Jon Anderson performing Yes' Awaken with Todmobile.
Reminds a lot Gabriel in the voice
PROG ROCK GOD
My favorite version is on what I consider to be one of their best works & the one that got me into Prog "Seconds Out". Hackett was still there, but left right after & Collins had replaced Gabriel as lead singer not long before. Much much better in every way. Also, you really do need the whole song to get it in context, but it is around 25 minutes. It is amazing & unique though.
I agree. "Seconds Out" is the best version of this song. If I ever invent a time machine I'm going back to see that concert.
@@misterfugazi4110 Lol! I have been saying the exact same thing for the last 40+ years!
He’s useing a thing called an e bow before the glue starts I think
Can someone send me the link to the original video??
Epic..
You need the full version, really
20 minutes but worth it
Good start, however
The geat great supper's ready by Genesis the most prog song of al time.
look for solo albums by singer Nad Sylvan, The Bride trilogy is fantastic and you gotta hear the Unifaun album.
I like that you chose this live version, but why did you start it in the middle of the song? I have this concert. I had to watch the first half and then switch over to your video when it reached the right spot.
They do reactions for pay. I'm the requester. This length of music costs 50 bucks which is the max length you can buy. Someone else can spend 50 bucks for the first half....
Not a patch on Seconds Out
Would like to see you done Peter Gabriel or Phil Collins version better. I mean that guy on key board s is good but he’s toney banks. Drums are lacking as well
Great cover with the original guitarist, however the [Genesis] studio version or Genesis live with or without Steve is Sooo much better... Tony Banks (keyboardist and composer) and Phil Collins on drums and vocals if not Peter Gabriel on vocals is a MUST see and way more musically impactful.

ESTA ES LA MEJOR VERSION Y LEJOS, LO DEMAS ES SOLO TU FANATISMO
The whole first half of the song is missing.
sorry to say but i think this is to advanced music for him
While Steve Hackett and his Genesis Revisited band absolutely rock this song, it sucks that you skipped the first 2/3 of the song!
I'm the requester. They have set charges for different lengths. This length of reaction is 50 bucks. If you want the whole song, put your money down....
You should listen original Genesis studio version
Only played half of this song.
So somehow you missed the first 10 or 12 minutes of the song. This version is around 26 minutes; the original is just over 23. You should check out the entire recording. You would love it.
I only requested the closing sections. Time limit on reactions.
Not bad for a bunch of old men eh?!!
Best listening to the whole side. But that WAS a great solo. Amazing. (but Phil Collins' drumming is better on the original)
MISTER Steve Hackett
The original with Peter Gabriel on vocals is SO MUCH BETTER!
Sorry,,, that wasn't impressive.... That was FIUCKING AWESOME MUSIC from masters of their craft... Simple as that...!!!
Not so great vocal, I swear the best vocal in this case would be - Lisa Gerrard! ... but I love you both sister and bro, my favorite reactors in youtube, keep calm!
wow, skipped half the song.
This is simply stupid to start in the middle of the song.
Does he under stand the text ???? his silly face,. he dont understand nothing...
Another head nodding reaction. So not original.
I really can't be doing nad sylvan voice doing genesis it's so monotonous.
Peter Gabriel wrote and played the flute parts in Genesis…..you missed the 1st half of the song.
