Prog pioneer Steve Hackett proudly announces the DVD
release of his critically acclaimed live spectacular Genesis Revisited,
filmed at the sold out show at London’s legendary Royal Albert Hall in October
2013. The DVD of this landmark performance will hit the stores on 30th June
2014.
Genesis Revisited: Live at the Royal Albert
Hall - the next best thing after
being there – was recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound and will be available in the following
formats:
- Standard 2CD/DVD digipak
- Limited 2CD/2DVD/Blu-Ray art-book with
liner notes, photos and bonus interview features
An ecstatic Steve Hackett comments: “I'm excited the
Steve Hackett Genesis Revisited show at the extraordinary Royal Albert Hall is
being released on both DVD and Blu-Ray in 5.1. It was a thrilling musical
experience for all concerned with a fantastic light / visual show! Paul Green
and team filmed it brilliantly too. It's a feast for eyes, ears and all the
senses...”
In order to re-live such a seminal chapter of prog
rock history live on stage for Genesis Revisited, Hackett surrounded
himself with a team of exceptional musicians including keyboardist Roger King
(Gary Moore, Snoop Dog, Jamelia), Gary O’Toole (Chrissie Hynde, Kylie Minogue)
on drums, percussion and vocals, Rob Townsend (Eddie Henderson, Bill Bruford,
Django Bates) on sax, flute and percussion, Lee Pomeroy (Rick Wakeman, Take
That) on bass, and Nad Sylvan (Abbas’s Michael B Tretow) on vocals.
Prog Magazine’s Grant Moon wrote: ‘The Genesis
Revisited incarnation represents perhaps the last chance we'll have to hear it
as it should be. It's hard to recall a performance that sounded so good
at this venue’.
