    Possibly one of the highest moments of modern performances of classics. Steve got better with age. Band is amazing. And the song is eternal. It has to be on the Human Playlist and sent to the infinite space.

    When I saw Steve Hackett in Clearwater Florida last year and they opened with Squonk I knew it was going to be the best concert I ever saw. And it was.

    Quintessential Genesis. Hacket assembled a tour de force . And like fine wine got better with time.Such a technician musically. I would have loved to see this live: Musical Box, Cinema Show, Supper's Ready. I can't get enough. Thank god for the invention of RUclips. Great sound, good musicians & true to "old school" Genesis.

      Transfixed by astonishment. This tune is hypnotic. In the early 70s' listening to music was an experience, an event, that's why this music is so important, because like all great, ground breaking instrumentally oriented music, it's about sharing a sonic journey together, it is music that often demands close listening but rewards repeated listening, doesn't get old.

      Why has he found one, I think nad is awful don't get it, walked out when I saw the early revised gigs it was so bland, saw genesis in 73, and every tour since so maybe I'm spoilt, but enjoyed Steve's early albums but that's just me 👍

    The Musicians of The Original Band of Genesis were so far ahead of their time that time forgot them as a band.....they must reunite for a tour so todays young people can see what they missed.....Gabriel, Collins, Hackett, Banks and Bruford and spot appearances by a few others were the definition of a classy Rock Band in a time that did not have many.....
