A huge thank you to Nad Sylvan for Inviting us along to the "Space" over in Westbury NY on November 15 th and then back stage as his Guests on the USA leg of the Genesis Re Visited Tour. David has followed Genesis in its various formats since 1974 and like many feels thats the Bands Glory years were from 1971 to 1977. With the departure of Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel the bands music evolved and we followed them all even with their solo projects right through to present time. In particular we had kept up with both Steve & Peters work and music always in the hope the band would reunite and re visit the hey days of Genesis. Sadly it was never to happen and we believe the BBCs latest documentary on the band was the final nail in the coffin. Are we sad ? yes of course in a way we are...... but from the closure of that chapter has emerged Steve Hackett along with Nad Sylvan taking on the former roles once held by Collins and Gabriel . Even more astonishing is Nad Sylvans performance stepping in to what can only be described as the toughest and most demanding and anticipated vocal role in the history of Music. Nad not only delivers but in our view surpasses the vocal skills of the former two singers bringing his truly unique vocal abilities to the world stage and we felt that the music sounded perhaps like Steve had wanted it to sound back in the days when he was with the original band line up of Genesis . We noted several elements changed and solo patterns altered . It was a trip down memory lane and one that will remain with us for many years to come. Nad you have carved your name in Rocks hall of fame and you rightly deserve the success you are getting recognition for .............Moving on to the band
Legendary guitarist Steve Hackett had announced his Genesis Extended Tour, featuring a selection of classics to include some of the gems he had to sacrifice on the Award winning Genesis Revisited live shows. With a career and repertoire spanning decades between Genesis and his outstanding solo work, this will be the last opportunity for fans to see Hackett perform a whole set from the seminal prog band's catalogue.
An enthusiastic Steve Hackett explains: "Due to the success of the Genesis Revisited shows, in 2014 we're extending both the dates and the concept. We'll launch into a full Genesis set with favourites from this year such as The Musical Box, Dancing with the Moonlit Knight and Supper's Ready along with the addition of other Genesis classics which are often requested and the audiences deserve to hear... I'm really excited about this!"
Steve Hackett was Genesis' guitarist from 1971 to 1977 and is the first ex-member to re-record and tour that part of the band's material in Genesis Revisited I (1996) and II (2012). Taking the stage again with Steve Hackett is an exceptional team of top class musicians, including Roger King (Gary Moore, Snoop Doggie Dog, Jamelia) on keyboards, Gary O'Toole (Kylie Minogue, Chrissie Hynde) on drums, percussion and vocals, Rob Townsend (Eddie Henderson, Bill Bruford, Django Bates) on sax, flute and percussion, Nick Beggs (Kim Wilde, Steven Wilson) on bass & twelve string and Nad Sylvan on vocals.
The Genesis Extended Show will visit some of the locations that Genesis Revisited missed, and will also return to London where the two previous dates - Hammersmith Apollo and Royal Albert Hall - completely sold out. It will be a chance to celebrate the success of theGenesis Revisited - Live at Hammersmith CD/DVD box set and Hackett's recent Prog Award for best Live Event, again for that famous Hammersmith night.
Talking about Hackett's astounding live performance, Classic Rock Prog magazine wrote: 'a faithful, inspired trip down memory lane which reaffirms the majesty of many of progs defining moments. Hearing a packed house inquire in unison, 'A flower?' is a spine-tingling experience'; 'spine-tingling' was also the word used by the Newcastle' Chronicle to describe the brilliance of his guitar solo, while Fireworks called the show 'magnificent in every respect' and Classic Rock Society defined it as 'two hours and a half of pure joy for any Genesis fan'. The Daily Mail was particularly impressed with Steve's band, able to'match the studio recordings and even improve on them'.
If you missed the show or the show missed your favorite track, here's your chance to relive the timeless magic that is Genesis, thanks to guitar wizard Steve Hackett and his remarkable live band with stunning vocals by Nad Sylvan. Once again, back to make everyone happy.
Nad , thank you David & Wendy .........
