Last month was the Cruise to the Edge 2024, a unique Prog rock festival held aboard a Cruise Ship, and this year's talent lineup may have been their very best. The Cruise went from Miami to Jamaica and the Cayman Islands, with dozens of prog acts and concerts along the way and back. Featured on this year's cruise was such Prog mainstays as Marillion, Steve Hackett, Big Big Train, Riverside, Flying Colors, The Flower Kings, Haken, Symphony X, Queensryche, Lifesigns, Airbag, Adrian Belew, Jordan Rudess, Steve Morse, and several others. Some recordings from those shows have started to emerge, mainly on Youtube, and mostly just a few selected songs, but a couple of audience recording of full shows have also come forward. Here is a show from master guitarist Steve Hackett. This is a scaled-down (about 1 hour 15 min) festival version of his current Foxtrot at Fifty show, but features his magnificent full band. He starts off with a few songs from his new album The Circus and the Nightwhale and one from his previous solo album, then goes into the primary trio of songs from Genesis' Foxtrot (including the epic Supper's Ready) before closing with Los Endos (from Trick of the Tail). A wonderful festival-length show, albeit abbreviated from his full-length show. Check it out.
