Steve Hackett Wuthering Nights: Live In Birmingham Blu-Ray

Steve Hackett is renowned as an immensely talented and innovative rock musician. He was lead guitarist with Genesis as part of their classic line up who produced several of the band’s most acclaimed albums including “Selling England by the Pound” (a favourite of John Lennon) and “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway”.
With Steve's extraordinary versatility in both his electric guitar playing and his composing, he involves influences from many genres, including Jazz, World Music and Blues. He is equally adept in his classical albums that include renditions of pieces by composers from Bach to Satie, his own acoustic guitar compositions that have gained the admiration of many, including Yehudi Menuhin, and ambitious guitar/orchestra albums such as “A Midsummer Night's Dream”, recorded with the Royal Philharmonic.

  In 2017, Steve Hackett released the studio album “The Night Siren” to massive acclaim, charted in several European countries and presented it live right on time with release during his exciting tour “Genesis Revisited”, including a run of sold out shows across Australia’s East Coast.
Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the classic Genesis album, “Wind and Wuthering”, Steve and his band performed several tracks from the album as well as fan favourites such as ‘The Musical Box’ and other Genesis numbers never performed before by Steve's band including ‘Inside & Out,’ ‘One For The Vine’ as well as material from “The Night Siren”.

  On May 1st, 2017, at the Symphony Hall in Birmingham, Hackett and his group were captured live in absolutely stellar form for this special release commemorating a brilliant and extremely successful global live circuit.
