Starless by King Crimson

Absolutely magic. I 'm catapulted backwards about 45 years. The world was another... Thanks so much Steve Hackett & friends!

The TRUE BEAUTY of 70s Music. ☺☺

Dans les années 70 quand j allais voir Genesis,cet homme se tenait sur le coté de la scène,dans la pénombre. Avec le temps,il a gagné en assurance,en virtuosité et bien vieillit. Peut être, parce qu il a su quitter le navire à temps,juste après Gabriel,avant que le groupe ne sombre dans une soupe commerciale ? Merci pour pour tant de beauté :)

One of the great progressive tracks from a true musical genius of our times. Timeless.

Great drummer. Gary O'Toole

Absolutely Masterpiece !

The beautiful simplicity of music at its best. When artists know what they are doing, they transform the whole scene and create a new wonderful world.

It has been 40 years since I bought this marvelous album.

Sublime performance of a truly fabulous song. Ably assisted by Steven Wilson and Nick Beggs🤩🤩🤩

Like the smile from steve to steve at 8:45

this is something powerful!

Excellent song, just wonderful, thanks Steve and Amanda for the beautiful voice.

Steve Hackett of Genesis and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the same stage together, a real meeting of true geniuses of the prog genre, it doesn't get any better than these guys and when you add Hackett's amazing band to the mix, what you get is an epic performance. I would Shadow Of The Hierophant up there with 'Spectral Mornings' as one of the greatest songs Hackett has ever written, it just gets better and better with every listen.

40 ans après... IMPARABLE !!! Hackett est un pur génie de la composition progressivo/classique (et jazz quand il s'y met...). Ce type est un joyau ! sa musique est une magnificence Merci de nous avoir livré et continuer à le faire (les deux derniers cd sont magnifiques), autant de merveilles qui font du bien à nos petites âmes, parfois, perdues.

Tout à fait. Steve Hackett est pour moi le meilleur guitariste de tous les temps. Son solo dans "Firth of fifth" issu de l'album "Selling England by the pound", de Genesis, est, je crois, le plus beau solo de guitare de tous les temps, à égalité avec celui de David Gilmour dans le titre "Comfortably numb".

I like it too beyond comparison .... my first hit in Selling

On of the greatest pieces of Steve ! No doubt !!

Saw him live at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Monday The 1st of May. When he played this he got a standing ovation for several minutes. The band were going off for the interval but couldn't due to the audience applauding. I first saw him play this live at Birmingham Odeon in '78 on the Please Don't Touch Tour, and can remember being utterly mesmerised by it then. Monday night transported me back to my teenage years and I was as utterly transfixed by it as I was back then. Foxtrot's loss was Voyage Of The Acolyte's gain. Even though on this tour he has dropped Supper's Ready from his set list I didn't feel at all cheated. I've been to hundreds of gigs over the years and Monday night's was easily in my top 5.

I was there and was mightily impressed by Nick Beggs on bass and pedals. Easily the best gig I've seen in years, and despite going on to see Robert Plant and Phil Collins later in the year, I still stand by that statement.

The concert DVD/Blu-ray recorded at Birmingham - Wuthering Nights - has Nick Beggs sitting down at the end and playing the bass pedals with his hands. He didn't want to obscure what Gary O'Toole was doing.

Unusual structure of song, harmonies. So symhonic and poetic. Perfect production. I can't stop listening.

la meilleure performance live de cet instrumental magistral, signé Hackett !!

There's more than a hint of early KC in production with Sinfield style lyrics. I once went to a Pete Sinfield gig at Sadlers Wells and outside in the cue to get in was Hackett's band mate Mike Rutherford. (Greg Lake turned up and sat in on a couple of numbers)

Veiling the nightshade bride stalks a flower revealed Nearing the hour make haste to their threshold concealed Lost in thought in search of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun Casting the same steps glimpsing his own fate to come Melt in the dream void from which he never can run Lost in thought in search of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun Tears fill the fountains breaking their promise to heal Rippling the waters mirror an ended ideal Deep in thought but robbed of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun

Amanda Lehmann. Great voice and good guitar player

Amazing ! Saw Steve several times- still out there working ! To see Nick attack the Bass Pedals at the end is priceless!

I saw this in Rome... Wonderful

Bombastic! Flamboyant! Magic...What can we say when we listen to such a beauty??? Bravo!

It's being so long I don't listen to this CD. It's really an amazingly beautiful song!

Great. 40 years old and still unreachable

Grandissima Amanda Lehmann !!! This performance is one of the best live, and very close to the studio album one!! And maybe better....

Amanda you've been awesome !

so powerful...

Magical song ......

What a Masterpiece, Chills !!

Still amazing after all those years

I can't stop watching this it's fantastic !

Great moment of Progressive Rock. Steve Hackett is a very underrated genius.

Years gone by, just like good wine or wiskey better and better. Watching and listening Steve and his band over and over. More and more realising this kind of music was and is fantastic. Steve, thanks for almost 50 years enyoing you, your band and Genesis from the start. A Dutch fan.

Toujours autant d'émotions, 40 ans plus tard !! absolument sublime !!

this is the only time you see Steve headbanging to a song! saw this show live a couple days ago and Gary O'toole is going insane towards the end, even more intense than this, double bass and different patterns... just mindblowing.

Eargasm

Bravo pour la prestation de la chanteuse (et guitariste) Annette Lehman , c' est un enchantement !

Este tema es un viaje profundo, por lo más psicodélico y progresivo de la evolución del Rock

Absolutely AMAZING . Thanks Steve , and all the Band for your Great music for all the people of the world

Was there that night and saw this from about 10 feet away, and it was massive. What the video barely shows is that Nick (who'd taken off his Ric as not needed) did a whole 'descent into madness' routine on the bass pedals at the end - clenched fists...face in a rictus..great fun. Saw it all over again at Farnham a few weeks after.

there's something very deep about this song. it unsettles and exhilarates in equal measure

This is EPIC!!!

Just popped in . I come here every now and again Works for me. Incredible. Ta

Can't even describe how much I love that song... that lineup of musicians... perfect combination!

There was an absolutely stunning and mesmerising version of this performed only last night at the London Palladium by Hackett et al.Probably the best song of the evening - despite excellent renditions of Firth of Fifth and Supper's Ready!

Tears of emotion fall when I see Steve Wilson !!! 🥹🥹🥹

Wow. Beggs and Wilson on this one with the rest of the gang. Very special!

Totally mesmerizing. Steve still proudly carries the progressive torch, and I hope he will continue to do that for a long time.

Everytime I have seen this live it sends me into a trance. Such a majestic piece of music.

The drumer is the same as the one touring these days in the Genesis revisited Tour 2017? What a fuc** beast!!

Saw this actual Shadow of the Hierophant in Wolverhampton. Steve was amazing on this, of course., and NICK BEGGS in his long frockcoat, white shirt and top hat was a sight to behold as he just stood there hand in pocket, having a serious session on the Taurus Base Pedals. Nothing can replace the base sound of the Taurus pedals for me, which Genesis used, to superb effect, on all of their early albums. Simply amazing! I could watch this video hundreds of times (probably have) and will never tire of it. A truly wonderful evening. Would not have missed it for the World. I will go and see him again when he’s back in the U.K. I believe he’s in the U.S. and Canada at present.

Michael Rutherford played the taurus bass pedals in the original Steve Hackett's album Voyage od the Acolyte and was phenomenal! Nick Beggs is a great artist too and plays the taurus so strongly!!! It certainly would have been a great sound in that theatre

@@musighitta Yes Giusy. I saw Hackett at the Robin Hood in Bilston, West Midlands. Small quite crappy place, but a decent size and the acoustics were solid and brilliant. I also saw him at Wolverhampton Town Hall. The flute and Sax player was superb! Guy in a cap. My first introduction to Genesis was with my purchase of The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and I was hooked! I LOVE Voyage of the Acolyte. My Brother has a Taurus. He is a Base Player (he’s got 7 base guitars) and plays with Midlands group Flying Colours. I’m an older gal…and still love my Hackett and Genesis. xx

@@Teddibere1 yes you were very lucky to see him in concert. I live in Sardinia in the Mediterranean Sea and Steve composed an album dedicated to my land! My first approach to Genesis was at the end of the 70s with the song many too many, I was a teen age then. But the first album I loved very much was selling England by the pound. The lamb lies down on B. Is a masterpiece I really love it and now I can say that my favourites are the albums of the Gabriel and Hackett era. I think “and then they were three” album is also good, but wind and wuthering and a trick of a tail are amazing. Few times ago I revalued the magnificent album trespass 💓

Last night at The Sage Gateshead (22nd Sept. 2022) I saw Steve Hackett and his band perform this as one of the encores following on from Foxtrot in it's entirety - and while it may not have had Steven Wilson joining in, it certainly was an excellent rendition of this track and a fitting way to draw a breathtaking concert to an almost conclusion: then we got Los Endos to send us on our way hoping for the day we see Stave Hackett and his Band once more !!!!

I bought Voyage of the Acolyte on the day it was released in the Netherlands. Still a masterpiece and this performance of Shadow.... does justice to an amazing fragile, yet powerful song! And then there's Steve Wilson. Who could ask for more!! :)

Great track! Steve is an example for young guitarists

pure merveille !

MASTERPIECE! Timeless... Epic... A hymn...

WOW, just WOW!!!

Beautiful music

Legendary FIGURE the Bassist in his clothes ahahahaha ......... LOVE THIS BAND!

Saw him at Stone Free at the O2 and they were class, such a tight band. Love to see a longer set live. Just love this song and thanks for posting.

STUNNING! Thank you so much for uploading this. It made me very, very happy. :-)

Pura magia 💜❤

Great music Hackett is magic..And the drummer..yee!

Magical and magnificent.

Grande, geniale chitarrista, per me il più grande di sempre , Steve la tua musica e' l'essenza della mia vita, per sempre grande Steve achet

One of the best moments of my life. Thought I'd hear 'Seconds Out' and in comes ms. Lehmann, and off goes Shadows of the Hierophant, better than any version on KZread, complete with bassist wielding Taurus pedals which reverberated the whole hotel in which the concert was hosted (a last minute change from a proper concert venue).... it was just magical and Mr. Hackett was up to the the occasion, as usual! (he plays from the heart). An indelible memory I'll carry to my deathbed!

magnifique

Incroyable montée en puissance !!!
