Steve Hackett - Jacuzzi

[laaxe]

Me old bandm8, Johnny on drums! Good soul, if there ever was!

[khandrum100]

Musical genius 

[prinoski]

One word.... Brilliant!!!

[permaveg]

When steve and john have worked together from Acolyte days up to now they certainly have made some sweet memorable music. Just the two together on the Eric Satie pieces c.d. showed their skill to good effect.

[mastrofell]

A greatr composer a real musician,soloing he always plays the right notes in his guitar not hundreds of notes like other guitarists that want to impress and think that more and faster is better.

[oahiska]

The "I just kicked ass" salute at the end (which is justified by the way he kicked ass).

[skintrade]

Its a good job not all music is this good or we would never leave the house

[pinkfloydrule27]

steves songs are so amazing i love how this starts out as a poppy riff and slowly becomes satanic heavy jazz fusion the man is a genius

[ksjoyjespeace]

@pinkfloydrule27 satanic ??!! far from that label,this is HEAVENLY MUSIC !!! satan does not know music,how can he ,he has NO LOVE, God loves you !!!

[pinkfloydrule27]

@ksjoyjespeace urm yeah Satanic is my usually term for dissonance, which can be used in heavenly ways

[raidereddie]

It must be great to be in a band of that stature with your brother. They look like they're having a blast.

[mtopper66]

This track encapsulates everything that is truly awesome about progressive rock. Hackett is one of the two or three greatest guitarists of all time, no one else sounds like he does. I'm so, so thrilled to see a live performance of this masterpiece!!

[strawhouse65]

makes my knees ache with nostalgia

[skintrade]

Its a shame Tony didnt like Steve more, they could have gone on to do a cracker of an album together

[trevizons]

@skintrade And Steve didn't like Tony's, Mike's and Phil's direction of music either, let alone the way they started making Genesis a Pop General Dancing Music, Steve is and was right and He's proven it, good thing He got rid of those guys and created His own dream ... Besides Tony was always jealous of Steve's creativity and the driven force of his arrangements in the making of those old Genesis Masterpieces ! Otherwise tell me something real and good about Tony Banks !

[skintrade]

@trevizons top comment mate!!

[sandro28grizz]

@skintrade From what I've read, Tony didn't dislike Steve, but it seemed like Tony was a bit of a control freak and Steve had a hard time dealing with it.

[dlugiprogres]

coś słodkiego 

[guitarzann]

30 years ago and no bands today can touch it all new publically displayed music should be banned!!

[jimmybfan]

been there done that. HACKETT is up there. Voyage of us Acolytes. SF 1980 etc et al nice Les Paul

[westrokker]

hard to believe this was 30 years ago

[hinkyponky]

@westrokker He doesn't look much different either! He really is legend

[Tangento]

The interplay between Magnus and Hackett is f-ing superhuman. A great composition, with awesome use of tension & release. I'll never forget seeing this and all my other Hackett faves at the Roxy/ Hollywood in 1981. ALL HAIL!!

[maximiliancohen]

wow !!! note for note, just like the fantastic studio version, thanks for posting!

[Leankhatru]

Que animales !

[davemakesawave]

Saw him in Hull on this tour. Brilliant!

[martinfilas]

joya!

[Paulywog282000]

Steve Hackett is like the group Camel ..they have great sound but not the greatest vocals

[rafa1969]

hey I like the way Latimer sings! I percive great emotion from his singing.

[finderil]

@rafa1969 Latimer puede no tener la mejor voz, pero creo que queda perfecta para los temas de Camel.

[cbast2]

@Paulywog282000

What a coincidence, I expressed the same sentiment in a comment I left on another Steve Hackett video just a few minutes ago.

[dougienancy]

A proper, bona fide prog rock tune...this is the genius of Steve Hackett

[JRBwithME]

Defector is the best Album ever and Steve Hackett is a Genesis genius.

[skintrade]

He was the genious!

[ladislas59]

@JRBwithME I prefer "Spectral Mornings" , but you're right, he's a genius !

[mario94parrain]

@ladislas59 First album "Voyage" is one of the greatest albums ever ! And my favorite Hackett too :)

[buttprobe]

it`s got phrases that`d remind me to "the Battle of Epping Forest"

[buttprobe]

EEyyy good to see Steve and John together when they were young ^_^

[dan3tbest]

steve rules!!

[PeterMayer]

I like some of Steve's work but as a primary song writer, not any more.

[SephynnXx]

you should checkout M-Tron by M-Audio. It is the most accurate mellotron software for keyboards there is. I love the software, and it is only $100,,,,,

[SephynnXx]

I love 8 voice choir, flute, strings, and almost any setting the mellotron has. You can almost make any musical melody sound that much better with a mellotron added in. It makes acoustic moments beautiful and meloncholic, intense moments epic, and I wish they would mass produce them again. I seen a video on here of a new prototype of the mellotron being played by Jordan Rudess, and another video of a baby mellotron. It is killer to see they are getting back into the ears of people again...

[SephynnXx]

The Lamb is one of the greatest concept albums of all time, and by far the most emotional and dark Genesis album written. The album has darkness, meloncholy, melodic beauty, humor, and great instrument solos done by Hackett and Banks. It is a very well balanced album that flows very nicely.

HOLY SHIT, "Jacuzzi" has mellotrons. I love that fucking instrument....

[SephynnXx]

I love that whole album to. "Dancing with the Moonlit Knight", "Firth of Fith", and "Cinema Show" are aesome songs. "I know what I like" is kind of wishy washy with me. "The Battle of the Epping Forest" is 50/50 with me. I like the Lamb the best....

[SephynnXx]

That is a very great way of putting it. I feel their most solid lineup was with Gabriel and Hackett in the band. I love the 1970's Genesis, but the 1980's-Now is barely tolerable. The Lamb is one of my favorite albums of all time...

[SephynnXx]

Yeah but I also read in a interview awhile back that he was not digging the direction the band was taking. Even Collins said they were like FUCK IT, LETS MAKE SOME MONEY AND SELL OUT. Even now Hackett still has more prog then pop in his sound...

[DieneceVR]

yes...he was the guitar of genesis in the year 1972-1975

[SephynnXx]

he was their guitarist from 1970-1977, he played on Trespass, Nursery Crhyme,Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound,The Lamb Lies down on Broadway, Trick of a Tail, and Wind and Wuthering. He is one of my favorite guitarists, very underrated on all levels. He quit Genesis because he dod not like the music they were producing for the And There were 3 album, and he did not like their attitude towards the music. He felt more artistic then money and fame driven....

[baradek1]

SUUUPER !!!

[DiggermanNo1]

I'm an aging YES, Genesis and Rush fan and my daughter was a Whamette when she was young.....yes I know, but she is my daughter and anyway she's better now.

For her 25th birthday suprise I took her to The Oxford Playhouse to see SH in concert, she was amazed with his guitar playing. As the Playhouse is smallish venue he was able to talk with the audience all the way through the night, he ended up asking the audience for reqeusts and the band then played them.

An amazing night all round.

[jevoshawke13]

Don't remember him saying that Steve was in Rush. Alex credited a lot of influence from this track in particular.

[marcthenarc]

My personnal best from Steve. Rock on.

[lampynoiseboy]

Here is a little known fact...Steve is credited with inventing tapping! he was the first guy to tap the frets!

[genesisrock43]

him and frank zappa no one is quite sure...zappa called bavarian bagpipes though!

[jimzushi]

That's a toss up between hackett and Harvey Mandel.

[Phrenny]

wow how cool is this!!!! i got into Steve Hackett via Rush and this track is so much like the stuff on Moving Pictures/ Permanant Waves - love it!!!!!

[vinnykster]

Yeah man I remember Alex in an interview mentioning this tune and how much Steve Hackett was a huge influence but never heard this tune .. So cool to finally hear it and hear the influence. Another Rush song- "No One At The Bridge" on Caress of Steel Alex said shows his affection for Steve H.'s playing as well! :-))

[santepiolo2]

Hackett, simply the best

[whielden]

Great track. for me, Phil Collins turned Genesis into his backing group from 86; onwards and Invisible Touch for me is appalling and not worthy of Banks or Rutherford but each to their own- I have all the Hackett solo cds and his period with Genesis is damned good.

[tekniko54]

thx for posting this!

That was the best live performence of "jacuzzi"i ever heard..just love that song.

[Lyktwz]

Un músico soberbio, muy buen maerial...

[rockdrigresivo]

Prefiero la versión del álbum en vivo "Time Lapse", es mas rápida.

Saludos.

I prefer the live version from "Time Lapse" album, its more faster.

Greetings.

[diabloala]

Otra de mis favoritas de Hackett, me gusta mas que Gabriel o Collins, mis respetos, gracias por subir tus videos.

[felipeas]

Hackett was the member that takes the Genesis sound to the limit

[SirAtkins]

True but listening to them evolve was fantastic. I loved the 74-78 period the best but I couldn't live without Tonight tonight tonight, Domino and Dreaming while you sleep type songs

[skintrade]

Nick magnus is class isnt he !

[Avicamel]

One of mine beloved songs from Deffector album!Thanks for sharing!

[89DrAcoNiAn89]

beautiful, I imagine what an LSD trip would be like listening to this music

[ajittffcure]

Is that Steve Hackett's brother, John on the flute?

Good instrumental song, by the way!

[hostilitiesisrex]

yup thats his brother all right

[SirAtkins]

bin told it is

[keyboardwizard90]

I love how Hackett still uses the mellotron years after most people dropped it.

[Philmacrakken]

I heard a long time ago that Hackett's Defector album was one of the first to us drum machines...anybody else ever hear that?

[vash1963]

I think it was the first to use the Linn Drum Machine, which became the benchmark for drum machines in the 80s. It was the first standalone programmable drum machine to use high quality samples (digital recordings of real drums).

[lazlocarreidas]

chapeau!

[skintrade]

good ol nick magnus :)

[Zluyto]

truely amazing

[VincentLevy]

anybody knows why hackett never uses his fourth finger when he plays??

[NicOzark]

I think he learned to play that way when soloing. One of his trademarks is that he plays lots of slides in his solo lines, especially when he's using scales. And that particular kind of fingering contributes to the uniqueness ofhs sound and phrasing (look at 2'23"" in the video).... anyway, he uses the fourth finger when playing chords or classical pieces...

[skintrade]

i love nick magnus' keyboard parts, especially on the 'highly strung' album = )

[memalley]

this song could use a kettle drum for the main melody sections

[memalley]

super neil peirt-esque drum line..

[yeshead]

Thanks for posting these -- I've never seen them before. This and the other Montreaux vids are all instrumentals as far as I can see. Was Pete Hicks not brought along for this?

[ueskjold]

Great, thanks for the post! I saw this line up live in Oslo in 78 or 79, and was blown away. I've bought some of Steves dvd's and I get the feeling he had more fun on stage then than he does now, he looks a bit restrained and bored these days...

[twpudd]

No, Defector

[Lyktwz]

This song is from "Cured"?

[JoeyOMusic]

Fantastic! Though I have lots of Hackett vinyl, I didn't know this tune. Definitely hear inflections from "Back in NYC."

[kharlamych]

john released his own album.not bad,at all.

[skintrade]

yeah that was john on the flute.. ace vid

[ajittffcure]

Great improvisation from all the players. The bass also sounds so good! Steve Hackett's amazing guitar skills are once again shown in this video. By the way, was that Steve's brother John on the flute? His playing was really nice.

[Tangento]

Improvisation? This is a damn near note for note version of the studio track. (and f-ing AMAZING to watch) Thanks for posting!
