I always enjoy interviews with Steve. An intelligent and humble person who is always so willing to answer questions and share his knowledge. Wonderful to hear him talk about his father on this one.
These interviews are pure gold. Guy and Gary really know their subject no matter what musician they interview. Because of this Steve really really opens up on all aspect of his music. I'm glad they mention 'Blood on the rooftops' which is my favourite Genesis song. When I first saw Steve and his fine band live back in 2015 in Aberdeen I was quite upset he didn't play the song but on subsequent tours he has played it again. Steve Hackett is a great musician and I love the fact that he plays homage to my favourite Genesis era by playing those wonderful classic songs. Like many other Genesis fans I jumped ship not long after 'Wind and wuthering' and 'Seconds out' although I do have a soft spot for 'And then there were three'. They just managed to retain the magic a little on that album. I really admire Steve Hackett he's a grafter and constantly touring so the music to my ears always sounds finely tuned and as professional as you can get.
Do you know that Steve Hackett helped murder rock music? In simple terms, modern popular music and cinema was great when it was overwhelmingly produced, directed, written, and starred by 'white' people and Jewish people. Film was invented in the West so it was dynamic and creative right from the very start. But that was not the case with modern popular music that came out of the blues and jazz scene in America. Before the British Invasion in the early 60s i.e. the arrival in a big way of Western musicians and the Western aesthetic, it was pure mudhuttery. Music that was so one dimensional. And then 'white' people and Jewish people turned up and turned modern music into the amazing creative force that it became over the next 30-40 years.1/
Steve Hackett is one of the most generous, prolific, hard working musician in the world -- and a wonderful human!!

Had the pleasure to meet Steve what a total gentleman and now my most seen musician.
Great chat guys! Steve is a gem.
Such a talented band... The proof's in ALL of their solo careers, I suppose 👏
Lovely podcast. I'm off to see Steve in Sydney on 22 June 2022. Like this bloke.
In a fantastic series, this was surely the best episode. There was just so much ground covered.
Fantastic guitar player👌
Prog!
Intelligence from Steve and Gary and Guy as well.
👍
Interesting the ‘fagging system’ explained at 30:37
No Steve no Genesis!!!!
Wonderful but too abrupt of an ending or exit
