Genesis Revisited: Live At The Royal Albert Hall

One of the great musical triumphs of 2013 was unquestionably Steve Hackett’s stellar performance at the Royal Albert Hall in October. This was a remarkable night, when the guitarist didn’t so much revisit his Genesis roots, as reimagine them, to use a well-known Hollywood term. While the night was dubbed Genesis Revisited, what was really impressive was the joyous manner in which he and his carefully chosen band immersed themselves in the flow and timbre of some of the most iconic songs of all time, thereby creating an experience that brought a lifetime’s achievement for Hackett into bold focus for the 21st Century.
