Craig Blundell, LIVE with Steve Hackett; Shadow of the Hierophant

Filmed on the final leg of Steve Hackett’s Seconds Out tour, here’s Craig and the stunning track “Shadow of the Hierophant”
“I’ve seen and heard this song performed in its entirety over many years, in progressive rock terms it’s a real classic in Steve’s incredible catalogue. Originally Phil Collins played on it masterfully and many great drummers that followed over the years have all played it wonderfully in their own style.
Essentially this is the end section , 7 rotations, each one bigger than the last. It was, and is a huge honour to get to play this with Steve on this current tour”

Seeing Craig do this live is even more impressive! His drum solos are nuts!

Saw them in San Sebastián concert on 27/06/2023 with my son and was incredible, better than good and we will never forget those hours of happiness. Thank you Steve and all of the band,. Craig included.

I've seen Craig a few times with Hackett. An awesome percussionist and plays great with Jonas Reingold on bass. Absolutely love these two and hope to see them down the road again soon.

Watched this show in Liverpool which was fantastic. Glad you posted this video, Craig's a brilliant drummer.

Highly giftet. Absolute top class. I saw him in 22 in Essen, Germany.Incredibly good, all of them. Technically, I still listened to rock music so well !!!

I was at the Hackett show at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta Saturday night. I heard that Blundell was behind the kit, but never him previously. BLOWN. AWAY. After the first song, I told my friend (who is a drummer) that Craig reminded me of Gavin Harrison. We were both convinced that Blundell > Harrison by the end of the night. Ironically the last show we saw before the COVID shutdown was Pineapple Thief w/Gavin. The style of music presented (Genesis vs PT) could play into the perception, but we were both floored at the talent and performance.
