On a Friday in May we went to Aachen to see Steve Hackett. I have been a Genesis fan since my early teens. So it was kind of a wish come true to witness the music of the golden prog-rock era come to life on a stage. And, boy, did they burn through it. The set was split by a 20-minute break and the first session consisted of Steve's later solo creations with the second session giving focus to the early Genesis years, where Gabriel, Hackett, Rutherford, Banks and Collins all worked together. The grand finale came up with Supper's Ready - a 23-minute firework of skill and excellence. Steve Hackett put together exceptional musicians that are able to bring the energy and brilliance into a large room and - for me - create this magical impression, this fracture of an inspirational past. Would go there again.
