Steve Hackett: in arrivo il nuovo live “Wuthering Nights: Live in Birmingham”
Riceviamo e pubblichiamo:
Il 26 gennaio 2018 InsideOutMusic pubblicherà “Wuthering Nights:Live In Birmingham”, il nuovo live album del leggendario Steve Hackett. “Wuthering Nights” è stato filmato alla Birmingham Symphony Hall durante l’ultimo tour del genio delle sei corde, l’acclamatissimo Genesis Revisited & Classic Hackett Tour.
Sarà disponibile in Special Edition 2DVD + 2CD Digipak, Blu-Ray e digitale.
Il tour è l’anniversario dei 40 anni di Wind & Wuthering, l’ultimo album di Hackett nella formazione dei Genesis, che all’epoca raggiunse la posizione #7 della UK album chart. Per celebrare Steve e la band hanno riproposto 5 brani dell’album: Eleventh Earl Of Mar, One For The Vine, Blood On The Rooftops, …In That Quiet Earth e Afterglow.
Other fan favourites from Hackett’s Genesis days were ‘revisited’: Dance On A Volcano, Inside & Out, Firth Of Fifth, The Musical Box and the classic Los Endos. This mesmerising show marks the first ever live performance by Hackett & his band of the tracks One for the Vine and Inside & Out, and also includes many of Hackett’s solo fan-favourites as well as material from his latest studio album The Night Siren.
Steve recalls the Birmingham performance… “I’m excited about imminent release of ‘Wuthering Nights’. It felt special to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Wind & Wuthering, the Genesis album I had the most songwriting involvement with and a favourite among many fans. Songs like One for the Vine, Eleventh Earl of Mar and Blood on the Rooftops come across powerfully on this release, which also features other Genesis and solo Hackett favourites along with songs from my latest album The Night Siren… Sit back and enjoy!”
The band are: Roger King (keyboards), Gary O’Toole (drums/percussion), Rob Townsend (saxes/flutes), Nick Beggs (bass, stick & twelve string) and Nad Sylvan on vocals plus special guests John Hackett and Amanda Lehmann.
The DVD / Blu-Ray also includes fascinating behind the scenes footage, most of which was filmed on the day in Birmingham. There are also three videos for tracks from The Night Siren: Behind the Smoke, Fifty Miles from the North Pole and West to East.
About Steve Hackett
Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with Genesis as part of their classic line up with Gabriel, Collins, Banks and Rutherford, who produced several of the band’s most acclaimed albums including Selling England by the Pound (a favourite of John Lennon) and The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. With Steve’s extraordinary versatility in both his electric guitar playing and his composing, he involves influences from many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is equally adept in his classical albums that include renditions of pieces by composers from Bach to Satie, his own acoustic guitar compositions that have gained the admiration of many, including Yehudi Menuhin, and ambitious guitar/orchestra albums such as A Midsummer Night’s Dream, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic.
