A unique treat for music fans worldwide, world-renowned
guitarist/composer Steve Hackett's critically acclaimed live
production "Genesis Revisited" has so far triumphed in Europe, Japan
and North America and is still going strong. On May 10th, the
sold-out London's Hammersmith Apollo show was filmed in front of an
ecstatic audience to result in the new live CD/DVD package GENESIS
REVISITED - LIVE AT HAMMERSMITH. The 3 CD + 2 DVD (with 5.1) box set
will be released on October 29th in North America via InsideOut Music
and features special guests including Nik Kershaw, John Wetton, Jakko
Jakszyk, Amanda Lehmann and Steve Rothery. Please see below for the
complete track listing.
Of the new release, Hackett commented, "The 5.1 DVDs with stereo CDs
is a feast for all the senses. I was blown away by the fantastic
response to those May UK gigs. The autumn Genesis Revisited shows will
include different Genesis material as well as all the big faves that
bring the house down...See you all soon!" Hackett'sNorth American
tour begins this week and runs through mid-October. Taking the stage
with Steve Hackett will be an exceptional team of top class musicians,
including Roger King (Gary Moore, Snoop Doggie Dog, Jamelia) on

the songs with a new unique edge. The star-studded line-up includes
respected vocalists Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree), Mikael Akerfeldt
(Opeth), Simon Collins (Phil Collins' son), Amanda Lehmann, Conrad
Keely, Francis Dunnery, Neal Morse, John Wetton, Nad Sylvan and Nik
Kershaw. Steve Rothery of Marillion and Roine Stolt of The Flower

Fame at The 25thAnnual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony
alongside his Genesis bandmates from the classic line-up: Peter
Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford. For more than
three decades, Steve Hackett has been known for his innovative tone
