Steve Hackett experienced his first studio sessions as guitarist on Quiet World’s only album, The Road, in 1970. He achieved fame as a member of the progressive rock band Genesis, with whom he played between 1971 and 1977, when he left to pursue his solo career full time.
He released his first solo album, Voyage Of The Acolyte, in 1975 while still with Genesis, and has maintained a steady output since. He is a distinctive and versatile guitarist who also performs classical concerts and has released five classical albums in addition to many rock, progressive, and blues albums. He participated in the 1986 formation of GTR with Steve Howe.
Hackett’s tours alternate between acoustic performances (often accompanied by his brother John Hackett (flute) and Roger King (keyboards) as the Steve Hackett Acoustic Trio) and more rock-oriented performances.
An amazing evening of Classic genesis music performed at he highest level of quality. I have seen the show before and will see it every time i have a chance. Many Thanks to Mr. Hackett for keeping this beautiful music alive and delivering this gift to all Classic genesis fans.

Absoulutely stunning. I have seen Steve many times since first watching Genesis in 1974 and this was an immensely powerful show, with an outstanding group of musicians.
Nad Sylvan sounded unnervingly like Peter Gabriel throughout. Fountain of Salmacis and The Musical Box exemplified this with the latter bringing the huge audience to their feet.
The whole show was a high spot and rolled back the years, but with more power than originally. The Knife was as brilliant as it was unexpected...
Superb as always

Great band, great lights, great sound and a terrific set of many old Genesis favourites. Ive seen Steve lots of times and this performance scores 10. Just like the rest.
Havent been to the Apollo in a very long time, but its charm remains, just like the Genesis back catalogue that Steve still loves playing.
