The Sage in Gateshead is without doubt one of the best venues in the North East in which to stage any musical event and seems to lend itself perfectly to artists such as Prog icon Steve Hackett...
More...
By the time Steve Hackett and the band had reached minute 120 of the lengthy set and after the essential version of Los Endos, I heard a fan nearby say, "Well how do you follow that?"...
More...
'Los Endos' was, to many, the end of classic Genesis and seeing the track performed so immaculately by Steve Hackett was uplifting and yet mildly sad at the same time...

Guitarist Steve Hackett may be best known for his work with early Genesis in the 1970s and participation in the 80s rock super group GTR, in which he played alongside Yes guitarist Steve Howe.

Almost two years already since the independant release of Steve's previous album, "Out of the Tunnel's Mouth" (which was to be re-released a few months later by InsideOut Music in an enhanced version with a bonus CD).

A new release by Steve Hackett is always an important event. By far the most prolific, and I think, most consistent of the former Genesis members, the fact that he can still release visionary and relevant music in 2011, and on his 24th solo release, is testament to his talent...

Prolifique l'ami STEVE ! A peine remis du choc OUT OF THE TUNNEL'S
MOUTH, nous voici un double album live électrique, bien copieux à nous mettre sous la dent, et pourquoi le cacher, voici deux galettes, constituant deux régals, pas moins...
More...
From the moment you listen to the album, the amount of changes from an Electric six string guitar to an Acoustic six string, subsequently morphing into a 12 string - all within the same song Ð is staggering. Steve also couldn't resist throwing in some backwards guitar and an electric sitar on the album as well...
More...

More...
Since the release of his acclaimed 'Out Of The Tunnel's Mouth' album, Steve Hackett seems to have enjoyed something of an enhanced public profile, and like his previous visit in 2009, this gig attracted one of the bigger crowds I can remember seeing at the Robin, even matching the packed house that Steve Lukather had pulled in ten days before...

Hackett's 29th solo album is something rather special.

band has a deep solo career to explore.

considerations, 'Spectral Mornings' aside, to build a substantial body of solo work outside
of his Genesis past.
