Getting it on with Prog

Some other Moraz that connects with me is 'The story of I',, 'Out in the Sun' and Refugee S/T (with Davidson and Lee from the Nice)...Mainhorse maybe my favorite of that sampling.

Steve Hackett's recent tours are such a treat, had tickets this past febuary for Genesis Revisited and Spectral Mornings played in it's whole but alas the show didn't go on due to virus stuff . Was the 2014 show half Genesis and half his solo stuff with Roine Stolt (from Flower Kings) on bass and rhythm guitar? Roine's presence brought the musicianship in those shows up a notch- I've seen Steve 10-15 times and Genesis back in the day with Gabriel. One of the geezer perks-, got to see alot of great bands.
The Genesis tribute bands like The Watch (from Italy) and The Musical Box (from Canada) are fun if they come your way.

+1 Harold.

I saw Steve Hackett live about 2 years back in a small theater. Crowd was just as you describe as was the band’s performance. First half was a sampling of some of his better and awesome solo material, second half was Genesis stuff including "Inside and Out" from teh little known "Spot the Pigeon" Genesis EP. Really good stuff! Big Hackett fan here.

Also saw "The Musical Box" Genesis tribute band several years back do the "Foxtrot" album start to finish with meticulous detail to reproduce the original shows from back then including Peter Gabriel’s outfits and antics. Highly recommended!


While on teh topic of Genesis check this out: https://youtu.be/A_l1M_cpqKY . Don’t think I had ever seen this tidbit from 1972 before. So much talent on that stage including at least 4 maybe 5 members with very long and successful solo careers which is practically unheard of save perhaps for The Beatles.  

1) Phil Collins
2) Peter Gabriel
3) Mike Rutherford (Mike and the Mechanics)
4) Steve Hackett
5) Tony Banks

Well small world... Lol.

I was in our LRS the other day and picked up Mainhorse but put it back due to condition not warranting the $16 asking price IMHO.

Relayer is probably my favorite Yes album (gotta crank that one up to fully appreciate) and of course Patrick Moraz had a productive but also still relatively short run with the Moody Blues. HE is on my list of solo artists to dive deeper into. Wonder what they have for him on Spotify?

Just been giving Happy The Man a bit of airtime
Not sure I am truly into it yet though.
It May grow on me.
