During the last few years I have been re-exploring much of the classic Genesis music through my Genesis Revisited albums and shows.
Steve Hackett has announced a Genesis Revisited UK tour for 2019.
Sadly, this album is yet another example of some ex-girlfriend asking, "Exactly how many copies of that record do you really need?"
For the first time since an impromptu performance of "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)" at a Steve Hackett show in 1983, Peter Gabriel has performed a Genesis song live in concert.
On August 16, 1975, Melody Maker posited a front-page question. Pushing a story regarding Frank Sinatra’s return to the UK down-page, it pictured Peter Gabriel in his full Watcher Of The Skies batwings, next to the legend: ‘GABRIEL OUT OF GENESIS?".
Steve Hackett didn’t just play on six Genesis studio albums between 1971-77. He’s also twice now returned to that era as part of the Revisited projects, pulling apart those signature works even as he celebrates them.
Selling England by the Pound, released on October 12, 1973, represented a culmination of sorts for Genesis — deftly combining the flights of fancy that lifted 1971’s Nursery Cryme with the more determined edge of 1972’s Foxtrot.
