I'm not very familiar with Steve Hackett, the original guitarist of Genesis. I've always kinda wanted to see him. He announced this tour where he was performing Genesis's Selling England By the Pound, and we got tickets.
He played that, and a lot of tracks from Spectral Mornings. Steve sounds great. He did a bit of singing, but his guitar is where he shines. The band sounded great. The keyboardist, Roger King (?), was really great. The vocalist, Nad Sylvan, was a bit odd onstage, but he sounded much like Peter Gabriel. The bassist, (?), occasionally played a doubleneck guitar/bass. The drummer, Craig Blundell, was really good. Watching him reminded me how good Phil Collins was, back in the day. And Rob Townsend played keyboards, flute and tenor and soprano saxes, among a few other things.
Selling England was awesome, of course. They didn't play all the songs note-for-note like the original album. One song in particular was very funky. Looking at the setlist, "Deja Vu" could have included the drum solo. "Dance On A Volcano" is also a Genesis song.
