I found this fantastic video on good old You Tube recently.
It features ex Genesis axe man😀 even guitar genius: Mr Steve Hackett and his band and Marillion lead guitarist 🎸 Steve Rothery on the Genesis track: Fly On A Windscreen.
I have featured Steve Hackett on here several times. I have also posted on here about his super book: A Genesis In My Bed.
Before joining Genesis. He rang a NME advert for a band requiring a guitarist one night and someone called Mr Peter Gabriel answered the phone. The rest is like they say: Prog Rock history.
Did any of you see Genesis in the early seventies? I have always liked Steve Hackett and Peter Gabriel especially. Not forgetting the work he's done with the English/Irish rock godess/Banshee: Kate Bush!
I saw Steve Hackett and his band with Nad Sylvan (vocalist on this video) playing his Genesis Revisited set at Cropredy festival in 2022. I blogged about the concert which was amazing.
I first saw Steve Rothery with Marillion and rock poet Fish at Garden Party at Milton Keynes Bowl in 1986. What a great day and line up that was.
Then I saw Marillion at The Night Of The Prog in Loreley in Germany in 2017 which I also wrote about on here.
Steve Hogarth is the Marillion singer these days. He's only been doing it since 1989.😀
However he is a Red Devils supporter like myself and I am not talking about Salford Rugby League Club. Or maybe I should do?
Why couldn't the Caraboa Cup have been replayed at Old Trafford. Grimsby would have had a kings 🤴 ransom share of the gate receipt and United might have won?🤔
Any way or any road. This 61 year old and several months will
be soon going to Blighty to see them again in late September. I hope they do some early Marillion stuff like Script For A Jesters Tear or Misplaced Childhood...
It will be time for donning my shorts and showing off my donkey knees and a few days roughing it on one of my rock festival trips, Wetherspoons (cheap real ales and Cornish cider) and pasties.
Enjoy the track:
You can't beat some prog rock can you?
Have a great weekend🍺👍.
We will be enjoying a nice cool weekend. And you'll be dreaming of putting up tents in shorts. But not in the rain I hope. Real Cornish pasties! Delicious
ReplyDeleteI hate camping but it's cheap Linda. Well it wasn't when we went to West Wittering last year. I didn't see local residents Kate Winslet, "Rodney" or Keith Richards but we paid forty eight Pounds to pitch two tents. It should be a good trip and we are staying a couple of nights in hotels. We will hopefully be able to charge mobile phones. This really stresses me out when I am camping. Why there aren't places to pay to charge your phone is beyond me. I am looking forward to the trip and I haven't been to Cornwall for twenty seven years. I have also sourced a 1 kg tent.
