This is one of Hackett's favorite songs. It's a very infectious and high quality upbeat rock... I've been listening to it since it was released... and I still like it. There are dozens of good songs by Steve Hackett. There are many excellent works, including the latest, which is an acoustic beauty... highest order.
Steve Hackett doesn't just play the guitar, he makes it sing! Also, this song wouldn't be the same without the powerhouse rhythm section of Dik Cadbury on bass and John Shearer on drums. Their playing during Hackett's coda solo is amazing.
Everyone asking for songs, not just on this reaction channel, but all over TH-cam, is obsessed with recommending the same songs, usually the older ones from various artists. Sometimes, these reaction channels feel like they're only watched by people who are stuck in time, somewhere in the late seventies to early eighties. Many of these people, especially Steve Hackett, have gone on to do some amazing music beyond the 80s, up to the current time in the 21st Century and it would be great if we could see some of the more recent stuff reacted to as well. For Steve, I recommend Wolflight, Nomads, Last Train to Istanbul and Loch Lomond to start with.
Good analysis I think this is definitely one of Steve Hacketts best songs. Has to be heard live to truly appreciate how brilliant it is. Even though it sounds pop and upbeat it's very dark. The solo at end is superb live. Many of the parts of music on this album Spectral Mornings and Please Don't Touch were rejected by Genesis that's why Steve left couldn't get input into the albums. The live version is brilliant, I have seen Steve do this live many times over the years. The reason I say it's very dark it's actually about a friend of Steve's and their drug addiction.
As a classical guitar player you appreciate great guitar playing. His Tribute album is a very good classical guitar recording. He is very influenced by Segovia.
05:43 Sounds a lot like Genesis' _Dance On A Volcano._ In fact, Hackett _did_ play guitar for that Genesis song. Around this time, many progressive groups appeared to want more than just the appreciation of a relatively few, musically knowledgeable listeners (i.e., money). Consequently, some of these efforts sounded a bit fish-out-of-watery. Genesis, Asia, Yes and others went down that road, some quite successfully.

Really enjoying your Steve Hackett journey. Looking forward to the remaining songs that have been chosen for you.
Steve Hackett is a music machine. Still cranking out an album a year..... Also keeping Genesis music alive.
Next do the song Clocks/the angel of Mons
Masterpiece. Try Sierra Quemada from his album Guitar noir.

Well said. Last album was Killer - ‘The Circus And The Nightwhale’ So much of his material.

Never heard this one before. Very nice!
This song is about his girl friend who was a heroin addict who died. Strange having an upbeat song tied to a tragedy.
He has albums that are 100% classical music
I bought that album 45 years ago, it has aged very well, or maybe not at all

Basically, most of his songs are better in the LIVE version
