I attended this concert. I was numb for hours after it. Otherworldly experience.

5:26 One of my favourite moments in music - long sustain then the bend into the theme, gets me every time.

Todmobile are amazing masters of classic prog. Their gigs with Jon Anderson are equally magnificent....

[MattGarratt]

How can anyone say this is not the greatest song every written? Beautiful guitar work as always Steve!

[kurtiklaas]

I can't believe it. Your "Supper's Ready" version is fantastic but this special version of my most favourite song by Genesis is a masterpiece. The orchestra arrangements are perfect (one of my dreams was to hear the solo part at 2:30 played by an oboe) and Steve Hackett of course is one of the best guitar players ever. Thank you Todmobile for this great idea an magnificent event.

Yes and Genesis had the ability to lift the listeners up on a higher plain. Their music was so positive and triumphant without being sappy. Its a remarkable gift/ability/talent.

Unbelievable! Steve Hackett is a phenomenal guitarist.
Todmobile, fabulous. His voice was made for Genesis songs. I watch these videos all day.
The orchestra and arrangement is excellent and the musicians look like they're getting right into it!

[Vulcanovich]

Just a wonderful piece of music by brilliant performers! One of the best versions to date (post-Gabriel).

[valfermanslist]

Everyone connected with this must have been thrilled at the outcome. Just magnificent all round....and yes, the oboe really works beautifully....

Nice to hear Steve paying a complement to Jon Anderson and Yes. I was brought up listening to Yes, Genesis, ELP, Richie Blackmore's Rainbow, Rush, Tangerine Dream etc, you get the picture?. It was basically force fed to me by my brother who was into that kind of mind blowing music that in the end I could not compete with. He had & still does have the best hi fi systems money can buy so the sound was awesome & may I add very loud!
My pop funk dance stuff ended up taking a back seat. I secretly started to pinch his LP's when he was out & started to enjoy it. I got caught one day with a number of his LP's n my room, so had to think on my feet. Consequently, it got me an A in my O Level Art exam as my excuse was I was doing a montage of characters from various Genesis Album covers for homework. My girlfriend's at my all girl school in '78 thought I had lost the plot big time, but it just goes to show I had good taste then & may I add, still do today, all thanks to my big brother!

When such deeply appreciated music from early adolescence reappears uploaded in a breathtakingly beautiful symphonic version now, more than forty years later.. tears with joy.

Le Lead Guitar le plus sublime et intelligent de l Histoire de la Musique, merci Steve Hackett pour ton génie

Tony Bank's finest song, brilliantly arranged for orchestra with the master himself on guitar solo. Amazing !
