  1. absolutely superb, and no sax………..

  2. I saw Genesis do this in the 70's at Stanley Theater in Pgh, PA and GD This is as real as it gets! Watcher was always one of my favorite tunes. The reason I got a Mellotron. Sylvan does a great job on vocals and posing. Everybody and Steve are so well rehearsed and the drummer is kicking! Thanks for posting.

  3. This is for a very specific kind of nerd.

    Did you know that this track reached #91 in the iTunes Music Charts in Netherlands!

    Recently I heard Carpet Crawlers in Home Depot. Reignited my love of this music. I'd almost forgotten about it in life's bullshit the last many decades. My true favorite music..prog from the 70's ❤

  6. So excited to see Hackett again at the Scottish Rite in October here in the states. Absolutely incredible!

  7. Amazing masterpiece from the summer of my years.

  8. That just kicked ass serious kicking ass the way it should be great work so creative

  9. This is the closest you'll get to Genesis today. Full stop.

  10. l'inizio più favoloso che ogni concerto dovrebbe avere !

  11. Every decade or more a group of musicians comes up with a sound and style so original people stop and say " what the hell is that " – Genesis were one of such events, maybe not at Sergeant Pepper level but for me pretty damn close. Name me another band who sounded like them at the time or since ? please don't say Marillion they don't count.

  12. What a great mix! Powerful version. Love Nad's performance especially.

  13. keymusic says:

    This sounds amazing of course. However, I could do without the theatrics of the singer. He’s not Peter Gabriel. This isn’t a Genesis tribute band. It’s very distracting and uncomfortable to watch. Just sing the song.

  14. Brilliant!! Goosebumps…. this is so good. Thank you Steve Hackett for assembling an amazing group of musicians and carrying the most excellent torch of Genesis.

  15. That version was excellent.
    And I'm not really a huge genesis fan.
    Loved it.

  16. I absolutely love Steve Hackett and have seen him numerous times in concert. Out of the Tunnel’s Mouth is one of my favorite albums.
    However, I loathe Nad Sylvan so much, when I found out, after arriving at a recent concert, that he was the vocalist, I walked out. (My friend, who has a couple of his albums, stayed.) I talked to some of the venue’s employees. Turns out I’m not alone in my, ahem, distaste for Nad.

  17. Sende nerden ciktin ula

  18. Wow! This took me all the way back to 1972, Christmas time, at The Roxy. First time I ever saw Genesis. Thank you Mr Hackett for keeping this alive. Well done everybody. Marvelous.

  19. nad silvan un grande …erede perfetto di peter gabriel senza esagerare 👌👌

  20. cs0rpc says:

    I think Nad Sylvan is one of the few people who doesn’t get Spinal Tap.

  21. I have no words for this great version of this incredible song… dont stop playing Genesis.

  22. MrMjp58 says:

    A great band. I wish they’d take the keys down a semitone or two. It doesn’t affect instrumentalists much, but would be less strain for the vocalist. He’s brilliant, but not a miracle worker.

  23. Nad is perfect for this band!

  24. Steve is incredible and keeps the real Genesis alive

  25. tamala521 says:

    Who is the lead vocalist here?

  26. Cada conciento es mejor, excelente. bendiciones.

  27. I saw this show in Liverpool, phenomenal as well!🤩🎸🎤

  28. Ted L says:

    Hackett's tour is not coming to my part of the world. Sad. He plays the original Genesis songs so well!

  29. songman l says:

    One of the best versions I've heard in a long time! Keep doing what you're doing Steve!
