	Steve Hackett - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Steve Hackett (born Steve Richard Hackett on February 12, 1950, in London, England) is a musician and a guitar player.
		Steve Hackett is best known for his innovative ethereal sounding electric guitar work, and for being one of the pioneers of a technique called tapping.
		Hackett's guitar solo in the song "Firth of Fifth", from Genesis' 1973 Selling England by the Pound album, is considered by many to be one of the greatest guitar solos in the history of progressive rock music.

	Encyclopedia: Steve Hackett (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Steve Hackett is best known as the guitarist with Genesis during their best years as both a progressive and a commercial band, across ten albums of their history.
		Hackett was in the lineup in January of 1971 and was quickly established as an integral part of their sound, though his concert work at their earliest gigs suffered from the fact that Hackett had little experience playing on stage, which initially made him nervous.
		Hackett resumed his solo career in 1987, but with the momentum of GTR behind him, he now found crowds of tens of thousands eager to hear him play classical-style acoustic guitar and was becoming the arena-rock version of Christopher Parkening or guitarist John Williams.

	LET IT ROCK - Steve HACKETT discography
		Perhaps, it's down to Hackett's rock background that the guitarist doesn't turn chamber when he lays his hands on an acoustic instrument, and if previously Steve's unplugged performances might sound a bit sterile, as documented on "There Are Many Sides To The Night", having resumed active touring, in 2002 he gives it a full blow.
		Steve had some forays into this field with "Momentum" and "Bay Of Kings" but those were guitar albums.
		Steve's vocal approach may resemble that of Roger Waters there, soaring and echoing in the world of plastic where the humans are strangers.

		Steve was apparently nearing a stalemate at the time - he desperately wanted to go forward but in his case, 'forward' meant either toying with banalities or letting himself get carried away from the guitar into the treacherous world of hi-tech strategies.
		Hackett's aggressive guitar intro, for instance, is quite surprising - its violence and anger contrasts with the overall peaceful and relaxed nature of the album.
		By the way, Steve is not the only player on the album: on certain tracks, he's augmented by the trusty sidekicks, Nick Magnus on keyboards (mostly providing synthesized strings that add a lot to the sound), and John Hackett on flute, and both are present on the track.

	Steve Hackett - Malta 2002
		Hackett performed an acoustic concert, and was accompanied by his brother John, who played the flute and keyboards' player Roger King.
		Hackett, as usual, found time for literary references, notably Shakespeare, and also cracked a couple of his typical, wry jokes, one of which inevitably focused on the problems that were caused by the dust particles blown off by Mount Etna's eruption.
		There is no doubt that Steve Hackett managed to evolve from a pure classical background into a respectable songwriter and one of the most eclectic and innovative electrical guitar players around, without ever letting his classical roots down.

		Hackett's first solo album was recorded in 1975 and has been followed by a further fourteen releases including two collections of exquisite acoustic guitar work.
		Although not originally a classical player, Steve endeavours to enlarge the existing repertoire by writing timeless pieces for acoustic guitar and one of these was given the seal of approval by Yehudi Menuhin when he used it as the theme to his television documentary From Kew To The Findhorn Foundation.
		Steve's response to the 'stadium rock' of GTR was to turn yet again to the 'little orchestra' and, inspired by his earlier success, he recorded a second album of acoustic guitar pieces, "Momentum".

		Hackett addressed the crowd several times and even shared some insight into some of the night's selections and why he chose to perform them (reminiscent of programs like MTV Unplugged or VH-1's Storytellers).
		Steve and his band were just warming up though and plowed through "Riding the Colossus" and "The Steppes." It's difficult for me to be objective after anticipating this concert for so many years, but this band played perfectly.
		Steve really put out some great fuzz tones on "Camino Royale." The last song was "Everyday", never a favorite of mine, but done very nicely on this evening.

	Steve hackett
		The release of a new album by ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett is usually a cause for celebration amongst his substantial body of fans.
		Steve has always been renowned for the amazing sustain which has been part of his electric guitar style, enabling his solos to stray into territory where synths have traditionally been more at home.
		Steve Hackett is a thoughtful, philosophical man. He chooses his words carefully, keen to make himself understood with this clumsy form of communication that we call language.

	Steve Hackett: Walking away from rainbows
		Hackett, 43, has a pattern of joining commercially-successful musical ventures, only to leave them unexpectedly as his muse dictates.
		I wanted to work with Steve because I liked his early playing so much and the idea of having a twin guitar-led project was interesting because it wasn't exactly all the rage at the time.
		Steve was going to continue with the band, but he decided not to for one reason or another.

		Collectively, this well-balanced set is one of Hackett's finest moments as a rock solo artist and is, without question, one of the best works of his entire career to date.
		Recorded live in concert in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Steve's 2001 tour, Somewhere In South America, is a double disc set that features the line-up of Steve Hackett on vocals and guitar, Roger King on keyboards, Terry Gregory on bass and vocals, Rob Townsend on saxophone and flute, and Gary O'Toole on drums and vocals.

		The air that night was electric (many local, long-time fans hadn't seen Steve since 1976) and fragrant (KGB was being widely shared by the tail end of the Baby Boomers, the predominant age group in attendance).
		Eleven years passed between Steve's second visit to the Bay Area -- December 4, 1981 performance at the San Jose Civic Auditorium -- and the September 12, 1992 performance for hundreds of dedicated, enchanted fans at The Cabaret in San Jose.
		Fourteen months later on November 12, 1993 Steve and his bandmates returned to The Cabaret on a reprise of his previous gig.

	STEVE HACKETT Please Don't Touch ! reviews and MP3
		Some big names like Steve Walsh from Kansas, Randy Crawford and Richie Havens did vocals for this album and the result is far better when compared to the voice of Steve himself or even the voice of Pete Hicks who sang on other albums.
		Steve is joined by brother John who adds some scrumptious flute playing to the recording.
		Steve Hacketts Guitar playing in up to standard but it is nothing special in any respect I’ll give it four stars but it could have been better.

		It was as though Steve Hackett wrote that song with Walsh in mind.
		Upon leaving the group, Steve was able to expand on his ideas a bit and create a fully realized album, "Please Don't Touch".

		Although the album is definitely classical in flavour, the distinctive Hackett style is still present and is still reminiscent of his Genesis work - this is in many ways a natural development of albums like Wind and Wuthering.
		Another foray into classical guitar by Steve Hackett and this time he is pulling out all the stops for critical acclaim from the high brow brigade.
		Steve couldn't really get much further from his Spectral Mornings/Acolyte back catalogue with this one but it is all credit to him that it remains an enjoyable listen even to someone like me who has little time for classical music generally.

		In addition to his work in progressive rock, Steve Hackett has also shown remarkable dedication in the pursuit of his classical side.
		I can think of only Steve Howe, with whom he shared an entirely unsuccessful collaboration that played to none of their strengths (GTR), and Sharon Isbin, I can think of no other contemporary guitarist with that capacity for storytelling as well as finesse.
		Hackett hops back and forth between the classical music and progressive rock worlds, and has had hit and misses in both.

	STEVE HACKETT - TO WATCH THE STORMS
		Steve Hackett’s first studio ‘rock’ album since 1999’s Darktown.
		The album was mainly recorded with his touring band after the North American shows last year and sees the reappearance of many of the Hackett compositional trademarks which graced earlier classics such as Voyage of the Acolyte and Spectral Mornings.
		As always there will be the standard jewel case edition with 8 page booklet and this will be joined by a deluxe Special Edition package, initially available in the form of a deluxe hard back book with slipcase.

		Being familiar with all Steve's albums, I was expecting this album to be good, but not necessarily a 'classic' in the mould of his first 3 solo albums (VOTA, PDT, SM).
		Steve's first live offerinng and one that eclipes the more recent live archive box set in terms of sound quality.
		Largely this will please fans of Steve earlier solo works but we're in the 80's here so it's Steve and the band doing the voals, not the superb Pete Hicks.

		On the other hand, since then Hackett has given us many pleasurable albums with his own label (Camino Records), which might not have been so extensive under a major label.
		Overall, quite recommendable as it features a combination of several of Hackett’s periods and shows amply the direction in which he was going at the time.
		Some are Hackett’s from various albums, but there are also tracks by Nick Magnus, Chester Thompson and Ian MacDonald.

		This is Genesis was Steve Hackett was Genesis since he gave the true Genesis sound.

	MSJ-Interview With Steve Hackett
		Couldn't it be a little more commercial?" In the end it's very easy to miss the point of why anyone was attracted in the first place remotely to anything you had ever done.
		I tried to stay as faithful to the spirit of each of the songs, but sometimes I gave it new clothes, perhaps.
		I think that people who are working on music are not aware of stagnation, as it were (to quote an old Genesis tune).
