Steve Hackett documentary - short promo

Work in progress. This is for all the Steve Hackett fans out there - to let them know that a full length documentary is currently in the editing suite.

Well known as lead guitarist with Genesis and part of their classic line up with Gabriel, Collins, Banks and Rutherford (Selling England by the Pound), Hackett's work has since proved to be versatile and influenced by many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is also a brilliant classical guitarist and in his classical albums he includes pieces by composers from Bach to Satie.

Thanks for the comments. Whilst the Genesis years will be covered the focus of the film is really on Steve's solo career, showing his versatility and originality as an artist. He's also got a very dry sense of humour, which I hope will come through.

Since leaving Genesis Steve has made some great LPs that have gone under the radar, and brother John is a fantastic flautist, the Eric Satie LP they did together is superb.

Can't wait to see the film ... Steve is a guitar God if you ask any Genesis fan.

'Selling England by the Pound' .... I believe one of the best albums ever made.

very interesting - especially the comments about Tony.

Now his legal problems are behind him I hope Steve will feel able to be candid and even a little controversial about Genesis - why did he leave, has he ever regretted it?and about the highs and lows of his solo career. The Hewitt book was just a hagiography, disappointingly sanitised.

I consider myself to be a very fortunate soul to have seen Genesis twice with Peter Gabriel at the helm. The first time was at the Roxy Theater in L.A. and the second and last (with Gabriel) was at the Shrine auditorium for the Lamb tour. These, to this day (especially the Lamb) were the best concerts of my entire life, and at 51 now, I doubt music will ever be the same again, nor should it be. It was truly a magical time and I'm glad to have been a young drummer in 1971 practicing to Genesis.
