Steve Hackett - "The Steppes" (Live at the Royal Festival Hall)

Το album "Genesis Revisited Band & Orchestra: Live" κυκλοφορεί στα τέλη Οκτωβρίου. Είναι η δεύτερη φετινή κυκλοφορία του σπουδαίου καλλιτέχνη καθώς είχε προηγηθεί ο στουντιακός δίσκος "At The Edge Of Light" που "βγήκε" στις αρχές του έτους. Το τραγούδι "The Steppes", του οποίο το βίντεο με την "ζωντανή" εκτέλεση παρουσιάζουμε σήμερα, το πρωτογνωρίσαμε στον δίσκο του Steve Hackett "Defector" που κυκλοφόρησε το καλοκαίρι του 1980...

Δελτίο τύπου: «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 Inside Out Music.

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.

The 2CD set includes tracks from Steve's time with Genesis and also from his extensive solo career.»

Steve Hackett: «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.»
