Progressive rock legend, Steve Hackett is set to perform Genesis Classics (1970-1977) on Tuesday, April 19 at the Carolina Theatre of Durham. The set includes memorable songs like The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Cinema show & more.
After a highly successful two years of touring worldwide with the Genesis Revisited and Extended shows, former Genesis guitarist and composer Steve Hackett is returning to North America to perform with his band.
In celebration of his new album Wolflight released in April 2015, and the 40th anniversary of the release of his first solo album Voyage of the Acolyte, Steve Hackett will present a unique show of both Hackett solo and Genesis classics.
Along with pieces such as ‘Ace of Wands’ and ‘Spectral Mornings’ and a selection from Wolflight, Steve Hackett will conclude his two and a half hour show with more Genesis material that was not part of his previous Genesis Classics shows of 2013 and 2014. Epic songs like “Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”, “The Cinema Show”, “Can-Utility”, “Hairless Heart” and “The Musical Box” will be part of this spectacular tour.
Steve Hackett has released more than 30 solo albums in addition to the seven progressive rock classics he did with Genesis.
The tour lineup includes Roger King on keyboards; Gary O’Toole on drums & percussion; Rob Townsend on saxophones and flutes, Roine Stolt on bass & guitars; and Nad Sylvan on vocals.
I was at that show it was fabulous. A once in a lifetime opportunity to see a legend that sounded great. Why he picked Durham NC as the final stop on the 2016 US Tour I have no idea. But I think he enjoyed being there it is a beautiful space with great acoustics. He even posted a picture on his face book site of him standing inside the theater and calling it “atmospheric”
