Firth of Fifth - Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited Live At Royal Albert Hall HD 1080p
Sulla strada tra aeroporto e porto di una città da qualche parte dello stivale, un giorno qualsiasi di un giugno in cui nuvole e pioggia non si decidono a lasciare definitivamente al sole d’estate il posto che gli spetta. L’autoradio è accesa, una conversazione si propaga insieme al suono di una canzone anonima.
“Ma a lei che musica piace?”
“Il rock, quello più classico, fino al metal…”
“I Guns’n’Roses, i Rolling Stones?”
“Naturalmente!”
“Sì, però, “Selling England By The Pound”….quello era un vero capolavoro!”
Ah, i Genesis!
Per legioni di appassionati di progressive rock, e di rock music tout court, i Genesis (perlomeno quelli di prima della svolta pop degli anni Ottanta), sono stati un amore assoluto e non paragonabile ad altri, e persino, in qualche caso, troppo esclusivo. Questo innamoramento ha attraversato intatto le decadi, nonostante il disprezzo dei punk e degli indie-rockers, non solo restando incastonato per sempre nel cuore degli antichi ammiratori, ma pure conquistando nuovi fans tra le più recenti generazioni che si sono approcciate al prog magari attraverso il viatico dei suoi incroci bastardi col metal.
La musica dei Genesis degli anni Settanta, però, non viene in sostanza più suonata dal vivo da chi l’ha creata a suo tempo, giacché, nel corso della rare reunion con Phil Collins dietro il microfono, i Genesis hanno privilegiato le canzoni del su citato periodo pop, predilette dalle masse indistinte. Di un nuovo tour con Peter Gabriel, poi, si favoleggia da tempo (se ne sta riparlando proprio in questi giorni) senza che tale agognata ipotesi si concretizzi. La voglia di ascoltare dal vivo certi brani, però, è palpabile grazie al successo riscosso dalle tribute band che dedicano ai Genesis il proprio entusiasta lavoro.
Ci pensa, allora, Steve Hackett, chitarrista della band fino al 1977, e, tra l’altro, titolare di una carriera in qualità di solista con picchi d’eccellenza, anche molto recenti (si veda Beyond The Shrouded Horizon) a riproporre, in studio e dal vivo, con ospiti d’onore di gran prestigio, quel suono immortale.
In particolare, nell’ottobre del 2013, l’axeman inglese ha tenuto un concerto sold-out alla Royal Albert Hall, accompagnato da una band con Nad Sylvan alla voce, Rob Townsend ai fiati e alle percussioni, Roger King alle tastiere, Lee Pomeroy al basso e Gary O’Toole alla batteria.
La serata, dedicata alla rivisitazione dei classici dei Genesis, vede ora la luce in versione doppio CD e DVD, con il titolo “Genesis Revisited: Live At The Royal Albert Hall”

Steve Hackett left the band in 1975 - I'm still trying to figure out how he had a lifelong musical "career" using Genesis music. He was a great guitarist but he wasn't the best.
Arguably the finest guitar solo of all time. Never tire hearing it played by the maestro that is Steve Hackett.
Uno di quei brani che devo ascoltare almeno una volta al giorno per riconciliarmi con la vita e ricordarmi che vale la pena di essere vissuta. Quando Steve tiene quella nota prolungata ti entra dentro come una lama e ti fa a pezzi l'anima. È impossibile non emozionarsi. Grandissima versione ma.... Con Tony Banks alle tastiere è un'altra cosa.
I am quite literally in tears . . . hearing that fabulous piano intro again, seeing Jon Wetton on vocals, and that guitar solo . . . feeling so good, but so old . . .

Never mind the quantity, just savour the quality. Tone so smooth and pure......like Golden Syrup in warm milk. This was my introduction to Progressive Rock after hearing a preview of Seconds Out on BBC’s Friday Rock Show. I bought the album and used to lie in my room in the dark listening to Firth of Fifth with my parents downstairs totally convinced I was doing my Maths Homework! I saw Steve play it at a low key show in my local venue back in 2014. I was literally at his feet and now I know how it must’ve felt to hold the ladder for Michelangelo!

I think it's a "you don't know what you have til you lose it"-kind of thing. I wasn't alive during the hey-day of Genesis, but was born mid 80's, but I've experienced this phenomenon a couple of times in other areas; one was 90's era PC gaming, an era of tremendous inventiveness, extreme progress in performance and capability and the ability for small, creative teams to create world-class titles without hundred million dollar budgets and 14 layers of beaurocracy to implement their ideas; another was the aureal A3D positional sound, this was so obviously the future that I thought nothing of it, it was just progress and everyone will have this and even better in 5 years; now it's 20 years later I still have to maintain a windows 98 PC because there is no 3D audio anywhere close to as good. By the time I was old enough to appreciate music, there was no music to appreciate in the mainstream. Games sometimes had bloody good music (especially on the C64); movies too sometimes had good music; but music intended just for music's sake on MTV and radio was something I just didn't understand or appreciate; it was bland, repetive, seemingly designed to be grating and annoying. Late 90's we went from 56k to fibre-to-house-broadband; this is what allowed me to discover that music was at a time in the distant past very good. It then allowed me to discover that a lot of good music was still being made.

Les fines bouches argumenteront que sur scène Genesis, et ici Steve Hackett, n'ont jamais fait que reproduire leurs disques note pour note. Mais lorsqu'une musique est aussi savamment écrite, qu'elle est au stade le plus accompli, quelle peut être la nécessité d'en changer une note, ou de la prolonger ? D'autres le font et souvent leur musique originale n'est plus qu'une caricature de ce qu'elle fut. Une oeuvre qui parvient au stade de classique ( ce que seule peut révéler la postérité et ce qui est maintenant mesurable aprés des décennies ), réservant toujours autant de bonheur et de découverte, mérite pleinement d'être jouée sans en changer quoi que ce soit.

Terrific performance from all involved. Exceptional rhythm section. The bass guitar figures on the guitar solo really make it fantastic. Maybe one of the best prog guitar solos of all time?
Steve Hackett's electric guitar solo in "Firth of Fifth" from the Genesis album Selling England By The Pound , in 1973, is considered one of his most well-known and popular solos of Genesis' career, not just by fans, but by Hackett himself: "I tend to play the 'Firth of Fifth' solo pretty much every gig because it's really my best known electric solo and arguably Genesis' most famous electric guitar solo. It was a rare moment where I got a look-in for a continuous three minutes or so on a Genesis album, in those days, Selling England By The Pound. I still love this solo"

WOW!!!!! What an OUTSTANDING performance!!! Chills, tingles, smiles....... I got all of them watching this!!!! Thank You Steve, John (RIP), and that amazing band of incredible musicians!!
A masterpiece of progressive rock!
The piano intro is the best in rock music. It shines and obscure all the rest...
My very first encounter with this kind of Music, coming from classical studies at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome as a pianist. I was shocked and happy to learn something unique and so important. Genrsis in my heart forever.
Fabulous and lovely to see John Wetton singing. Sadly missed. RIP

Remember John Wetton in UK 1977-1979 Alaska, Danger Money wow.
I had no idea John Wetton ever sang with Steve Hackett. A magnificent performance and two masters who complemented each other so beautifully. God rest your soul, John.

Me neither but what an absolute beast he was even in his later years. Truly a privilege to see this performance. Sadly missed.
Assolo indimenticabile!
Una parola sola: Grande!
One of my favorite and moving guitar solos of all time.
Da quasi quaranta anni è la mia canzone preferita, la mia colonna sonora, non paragonabile a nessuna altra per intensità e phatos, e il bel commento di Antonio Muscio lo sento pure un poco mio da quanto lo condivido, per me i Genesis (prog) sono di una altra galassia, inarrivabili.
Happy 72nd BIRTHDAY to you John! June 12th 1949. June 12th be tomorrow! 2021. RIP.
Maestro... Me emociona escucharte. Muchas gracias. Lito de Merlo Pcia Bs. Argentina. 💎
Even though it is Steve's band, it is still Peter on vocals, Tony on keyboards, Mike on lead guitar, Steve working his magic on guitar, and Phil on drums. Such magic.
I love this guitar solo. Its fantastic beautiful
Ascolto i Genesis da 50 anni ormai , le emozioni e vibrazioni che mandano sono ...................solo loro !! Steve impeccabile!!!
Steve Hackett tu as toujours fait partie de l âme de genesis merci Steve pour ta finesse et ta délicatesse tu est un musicien hors pair love Steve love genesis
What a guitar!!! He always worked for the song, the composition, every entry is precise and sensitive.
One of the best pieces of music ever written in my humble opinion.
Grandiosoooooo !!!!! Sublime !
Chitarra da brividi 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎸
Merveilleux! Bravo! De la vrai Musique rock progressive!
The great thing about watching masterful musicians is how effortless they make it look. They actually have fun and are not worried because this is second nature to them. Genesis music took you to other places much like reading a novel allowing your mind to imagine!
La puoi ascoltare migliaia di volte, ma sarà sempre come ascoltarla per la prima volta... MAGNIFICA!
Favourite Genesis song... favourite song period.... favourite guitar solo ever...nuff said...ya get it or ya don't..
Il più bell'assolo di chitarra di tutto il prog-rock.

Sono venuto a cercarmelo proprio perché ne ho sentito parlare molto bene, ma per me quello di Gilmour di Comfortably Numb in Pulse resta inarrivabile per chiunque. Carino comunque...

@Mary Soundgarden per conto mio paragonato a quello di Comfortably Numb sì, è solo carino.
A true masterpiece! 👏🏼 the whole Selling England by the pound but mostly this song and the Cinema show touch my soul. Love them!
capolavoro in assoluto per sempre di tutti i tempi
Iedereen heeft het over Bohemian Rapsody in alle lijsten op nu 1.... Maar hebben die mensen nog nooit dit nummer gehoord ? Waarschijnlijk de beste compositie in sympho-prog rock ooit ! ook pure nostalgie. Genesis was hun tijd al ver vooruit. Dit is ook een geweldige uitvoering. Geweldig !
