You may notice that the guitar he is using in the intro section ('Land of a Thousand Autumns') is the Roland GR-500 which was Roland's first guitar synth. What a cool sound!! -especially on this and the 'Spectral Mornings' album
Imagine if Genesis cut the time of ‘Your Own Special Way’ by a third (take out the twangy guitar guitar lick during the chorus while you’re at it) cut ‘Wut Gorilla’ as well and used this instead on Wind and Wuthering? It would be a perfect album.
I was 14 or 15 (and already a few years into progressive rock...) and saw this footage on German NDR-TV in '79. The first 1.30 min's with Steve's beautiful harmonizing Roland Guitar Synthesizer parts stunned me completely; still really amazing!
I have the S.H. albums 'Spectral Mornings' & 'Please Don't Touch' and I saw the band at the Liverpool Empire in the Late 70's (my first ever gig!). Thank's for this 'trip' down memory lane. Awesome.
Los hermanos en acción junto al resto de la banda. Bravo a todos ellos. Gracias a quien lo ha subido y gracias infinitas al maestro Steve Hackett. También a su hermano John.
Gotta say, he was doing things even Blackmore wasn't doing, and as much as some seem to really dislike RB, he was a bloody genius on the axe before his time, Hendrix and Page notwithstanding. So was Steve Howe, though.
I never understood why tony banks and the band didn't respect enough the songs of steve. I think that was a big mistake and i understand now why steve left the band. They never were a band for singles hits. They were allways a band with big different great songs.
Lol! Banks was never gonna allow Steve to do this on the albums. Its pure full ahead Hackett as front man. Never ever gonna happen with TB and to a lesser extent Mike in charge. But hey, Trick of the Tale and Wind and Wuthering are great as is this. I'm really enjoying revisiting this era of the Genesis family.
@@chrishills2427 Actually when you look at Genesis in 76 and 77 Hackett is the most visually striking and stylish of the band members by far. Well the only stylish one except when Phil had that great flying bird Yes style T-shirt in 76.
I'd like to think this is the way he played it at the Brighton Dome, around about the first time I saw him live, there, in late June 1979 - timeless - although I'd agree, the GTR-album-version is also a great rendition - just wished he played one of these versions 'live' as part of the 2015 tour - maybe next time(!)
A lot of the guys from this period spent some time with Mr Fripp who was influencing many of them. Frippertronics leads the way. This track would fit well into KC's Circus album..
Yes that's probably true. I think Spectoral mornings in it's first recording and starless and epitaph were all about the same period and you can see the overlap. It's the sheer number of top line stars that have played with Fripp made me emphasise it that way
This song was rejected by Genesis for inclusion on Wind and Wuthering. Instead they went with Wot Gorilla? and Steve went out the door. One can only imagine how the sound of Genesis would have evolved had Steve Hackett not left. Perhaps less commercial success would have followed, either way we’ll never know.
@@coltonbeatty6117 it’s moody and atmospheric, it would have been perfect on a Genesis album of its day. Imagine the song with some Banks embellishments and Collins on drums. It would have been amazing.
@@dexterdog62 This is just gimmicky, fanfare-y garbage, dude. I've never heard and seen Hackett play anything impressive. On electric, he hides behind like 2 dozen different pedal effects. He's got nothing but tech to fall back on. And his rendition of this song goes nowhere.
Mi sono innamorata di lui da sto album 100 anni fa ,, ,e 60 dopo so ,che è il migliore
Does anyone realize how underrated Steve is ? one of the best ever!
We have seen Steve and band yesterday in Maastricht.
What a performance, what an artist and wonderful band ❤
Steve è il più geniale e grande del mondo...che si vergognino gli altri....
I love this album
This is nothing short of FANTASTIC.
Thank you hclee.
Thank you Steve Hackett and the band.
PEACE to all.
My mom attented a Steve Hackett show that year on june 12th, in Lille, France. I was born 4 days later (for real) :)
Wow! That was quick!
@@davebellamy4867 lol

@@a.s.vanhoose1545 This 'song' is re- tard -ed. Fanfare-y noise that goes nowhere
The focus he puts into each sound that guitar makes, is awesome. When I saw him (1979?) I was blown away by the power and Steve's calm and stillness.
When he rotates the whammy bar, he connects with the planet Zontar. Just for those of you who are in the know.
The atmosféric song is incredible
Profound , misterious, like there is something in the dark haze ...

My brother brought the album home in 1978 and played it - I was 10. Had nightmares, what with the cover of "Please Don't Touch" and the menacing tunes
"Not to be listened to by people with heart conditions or those in severely hallucinogenic states of mind."
@@johanna-hypatiacybeleia2465 Oops. I have a heart condition. I can manage some Steve though.
What an intro this song would have been on "Wind and Wuthering". I'd prefer it to Eleventh Earl of Mar any day.
How about the start side two? That would have been interesting!
*Such a beautiful song*
I saw thet concert, best i have ever been to.. and i have been to many.... this intro and boooooooom

I wouldn't expect anyone, Tony Banks included, to respect this noise. Gimmicky baloney
In my Hackett playlist right next to a live version of GTR's "Hackett to Bits"..no other comment necessary...thanks for uploading!
My favorite guitarist out of all other guitarists
Acquire some taste then. This is just gimmicky noise
@@coltonbeatty6117 Not his best song for sure but you really can't pan his masterpieces.
@@sportster16301 What masterpieces?
@@coltonbeatty6117 OK, who is your fav guitarist?
@@sportster16301 Don't really have one anymore. Sick of the celebrity worship and all that there
Fue muy grandioso el sonido para ese tiempo .
What a Super drummer steve had !
who else ever did this with an axe ?? NOBODY THATS WHO !!!! STEVE IS THE GUITAR !!
He uses about a dozen analog effects pedals when he plays. That alone makes him a genius.
@@sportster16301 No. That makes him, as a guitarist, a gimmicky fraud.
@@coltonbeatty6117 You are insane.
@@sportster16301 It is not insane to not be impressed, in fact, the opposite, by gimmicky sound effects.
This is wonderful - just wonderful
He's my favourite guitarist. Period.
Guitar noir master class

That would be cool. I'd like to see Steve break out a old guitar synth!
HACKETT ON A STRAT!
You forget three men who were blistering those strings during that heady time: Frank Zappa, Richard Thompson, and Johnny "Guitar" Watson.
Richard Thompson. Saw him a few times. Not for many years. A master.
Looking for the synth too. Is it the guitar synth? Gorgeous. Just seen him live twice as of October 2022.
A lot of the guys from this period spent some time with Mr Fripp who was influencing many of them. Frippertronics leads the way. This track would fit well into KC's Circus album..
a very menacing, cool sound
Steve and his brother look so similar!
Experimental rock music
Eso es emoción es todo dentro de lo que cabe
This GR-500 was way better than the digital sequels.... the master also plays strats hehe ;)
Yes that's probably true. I think Spectoral mornings in it's first recording and starless and epitaph were all about the same period and you can see the overlap.
It's the sheer number of top line stars that have played with Fripp made me emphasise it that way
Hackett to Bits anyone.
I still can't believe he left Genesis

@@dexterdog62 It's f*cking stupid. Are you watching the same video as me? Hackett can't play for sh*t. It's all just pedal gimmicks and noise.

@@coltonbeatty6117 okay, we’ll just have to agree to disagree then.
@Emin7 Robert Fripp. His friend.
You would say they both influenced each other?
Is this in 5/8 or 5/16 time?
5/8 I'd say
@Leplayersdj There must be something in the air that makes me think you're right...
Has this been catched by the S.E.T.I. program?
