Video Summary:
The is rare footage of Gensis guitarist Steve Hackett from November 8, 1978. Steve was on a solo tour, promoting his new album ‘Please Don’t Touch’.
Steve opens the concert with a really great showcase of the amazing Roland GR-500 guitar synthesizer, using the GS-500 guitar synthesizer controller.
The complete show can be found on the DVD: Steve Hackett ‘Spectral Mornings’.
Huge fan of Hackett’s work with early Genesis, but this made me want to cut my ears off.
The studio version is much better.
And by the way, this was supposed to be on Winds and Wuthering, the last Genesis album where Hacket participated.
Cut your ears off? Wow. How can you be a Huge fan of his earlier work and then want to do bodily harm to yourself based on one song? Seems a bit harsh.
