Here's more live Genesis Revisited material from Steve Hackett and his top-notch band, this one bringing us right up to the present, with Steve's current Foxtrot at Fifty & Hackett Highlights UK and European Tour, going on right now. This show features the full Genesis Foxtrot (1972) album, in celebration of its 50th anniversary (and still probably the greatest progressive rock album of all time), as well as selections from Steve's own illustrious solo career from Voyage of the Acolyte (1975) right up to his latest studio album, Surrender Of Silence (2021). And this is a fine audience recording from their recent Ipswich show. The tour moves from UK to Europe next month, and then to the US in 2023. Once again, a tremendous show from Steve and his band, keeping alive the great sounds of classic Genesis.

Legendary progressive rock guitarist Steve Hackett recently released a new live album from his 2021-2022 Seconds Out & More Tour, which features all the songs performed on Genesis's classic live album Seconds Out (1977) (which was the last project Steve participated in before leaving the Genesis), as well as several songs from Steve's extensive solo catalog. The official live release was recorded in Manchester, UK last September (9/24/21) as part of the UK leg of the tour. Steve brought the tour to the US in the Spring of 2022. Fortunately there are several quality unofficial recordings available from these shows. Of the several recordings I heard, the best one I found is the one presented here, from Kitty Lickin' productions, an excellent sounding audience recording from The Egg in Albany, NY. In recent years, Steve has further enhanced his appeal and reputation by providing stellar live performances of classic Genesis songs from Steve's and the band's progressive hey days. Steve has assembled a top-notch band to re-invigorate and bring these great songs back in glorious live performances. In previous Genesis Revisited shows, he has done a variety of classic Genesis tracks, as well as full album performances of Selling England by the Pound, and for his latest tour, just started this September (2022) with UK dates, he is currently doing the full Foxtrot album for his Foxtrot at 50 tour (stay tuned for more on this). But today we have the Seconds Out & More show from Albany. The Second's Out show is filled with some of Genesis's greatest songs, including 'Firth of Fifth', 'Cinema Show', 'Dance on a Volcano/Los Endos', and a fantastic full-length rendition of  'Supper's Ready'. Check this out, and if you enjoy this show, consider buying the official live release (which comes with a full blu-ray video of the complete performance). Sensational stuff.
