Steve Hackett/CT,USA 2019

Steve Hackett’s “GENESIS REVISITED TOUR 2019” is a complete reproduction of “SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND” that is attracting the attention of progressive rock fans. The latest live album recording the North American leg is now available. This work includes “September 26, 2019 Ridgefield Performance”. This is a masterpiece audience recording. In addition to the new work “AT THE EDGE OF LIGHT”, he has also participated in works by John Hackett and Andrea Padua, and has also released a live work with an orchestra…Hackett has been very energetic in 2019, and it is scary to see that he is also active in live activities. . First of all, let’s check the show’s position from his busy schedule. ●2019 [“AT THE EDGE OF LIGHT” released on January 25th]・February 5th + 6th: CRUISE TO THE EDGE (2 performances)・February 10th + 13th: ON THE BLUE CRUISE (2 performances) ) “GENESIS REVISITED TOUR 2019”・April 22nd – June 5th: Europe #1 (31 performances)・July 14th – 20th: Europe #2 (5 performances)・July 30th – August 3rd Sun: Hackett & DJABE (5 performances), September 12th – October 20th: North America (27 performances) ←★Coco★, November 2nd – 29th: UK (20 performances), December 7th + 8th: TRADING BOUNDARIES (2 performances) ●2020, February 26th – March 24th: North America (17 performances), March 27th: CRUISE TO THE EDGE, April 17th + 18th: Hackett & Orchestra (2 performances)・May 24th – June 2nd: Oceania (6 performances) This is the schedule announced so far. I reported on the recently released “ESSEN 2019 (Amity 556)”, but the amount has increased further since then. An Oceania tour for next spring has also been announced. If we come to Oceania, we have high hopes that we will also be in Japan, where there is no time difference, but we have not yet received any news of a decision to come to Japan. Aside from that, “ESSEN 2019” was the record of “Europe #1” at the beginning of the tour, but after that, Hackett crossed the ocean and landed in America. The Ridgefield performance of this work was the 11th concert of the “North American” tour. This work that recorded such a show is truly an exquisite audience recording. Since the North American tour has not ended yet, we cannot say for sure, but this is a famous recording that is currently rumored to be a masterpiece in North America. Best of all is the fine detail and beautiful sound. Although it is not a close sound that can be mistaken for a sound board, the subtle atmosphere does not give a sense of distance, creating an exquisite luster. And the core that penetrates straight through it is also powerful. Although it’s not as sharp as it sounds, the details are clear, and you can clearly enjoy the bass, which tends to be a weak point, as well as the rough attack sound. The sound that rises from such a core like an aura creates a sense of fantasy that is essential to Hackett music… It is a sound that truly embodies the “beauty unique to the audience”. The latest set, which has become a hot topic, is depicted with such beautiful sounds. The activities with “GENESIS REVISITED” have been going on for a long time, but Hackett has a different concept and a clear setting each time, so you won’t get bored. This time, the aim is particularly narrowed down. What is the content… [Part 1] ●SPECTRAL MORNINGS (6 songs)・Every Day/The Virgin and the Gypsy/Tigermoth/Spectral Mornings/The Red Flower of Tachai Blooms Everywhere/Clocks – The Angel of Mons ●AT THE EDGE OF LIGHT (3 songs)・Under the Eye of the Sun/Fallen Walls and Pedestals/Beasts in Our Time [Part 2]●SELLING ENGLAND (complete reproduction)・Dancing With the Moonlit Knight/I Know What I Like/Firth of Fifth／More Fool Me／The Battle of Epping Forest／After the Ordeal／The Cinema Show／Aisle of Plenty ●Other・Deja Vu [GENESIS REVISITED]／Dance On A Volcano [A TRICK OF THE TAIL]・Encore: Myopia/ Slogans/Los Endos (medley)…and it goes like this. There has been no change since “ESSEN 2019” a few months ago, and the first part shows off his active presence with the new song “AT THE EDGE OF LIGHT”, as well as “The Featuring all songs except “Ballad of the Decomposing Man” and “Lost Time in Cordoba.” In the second part, “SELLING ENGLAND BY THE POUND” is completely reproduced, and “Deja Vu” and “Dance On A Volcano” are added. You might think that “Deja Vu” is not the only song from GENESIS, but this song was written during the “SELLING ENGLAND” era, and rather serves as an “+α” extension to the reproduction of the masterpiece. Not only is the color division of “Solo Part 1/GENESIS Part 2” clear, but the target albums are also narrowed down for both Solo/GENESIS parts. Even in the “GENESIS REVISITED” series, where various ideas have been tried, it is a conceptual show with a high degree of perfection. Recently, performances in Japan have become a regular occurrence, so I would like to see it happen this time as well. It is a wonderful show that turns that wish into a craving. One where you can experience the latest stage with neat and beautiful audience sound. Live at Ridgefield Playhouse, Ridgefield, CT, USA 26th September 2019 TRULY PERFECT SOUND Disc 1(71:17) 1.
