Steve Hackett Tickets

Steve Hackett is one of the best guitar players I have ever seen. Proficient, incredibly competent, fast or slow, and all over the neck. I hope I can play the guitar as good as he does when I am 74. Steve's touring band were all journeymen with a couple of outstanding multi-instrumentalists. They came in well-rehearsed and plenty tight. First, Steve's solo work and new release tracks were superb. Then, it was great to hear Foxtrot and see his guitar parts. The drums had the muscular Phil Collins sound and Nad Sylvan was stellar as Peter Gabriel, although the vocals were a tad muddy and should have been higher in the mix (my only complaint). It was an excellent evening of great music in every way.

The historic Majestic Theater was the perfect place for the Steve Hackett performance. The theaters acoustics are very good. Steve Hackett is in his own class of virtuoso guitarist. Overall excellent experience!

Steve Hackett and his band of brilliant musicians rolled back the years, as they excellently paid tribute to the entire classic Foxtrot album that was first produced back in 1972 by the original Genesis. The sound, the energy and the vibe of the original were all there to be experienced by a vocal and excited crowd who had grown up with this music. Me included. To say the music, the lights and the venue were all magnificent would be an understatement. It was so much more than this, and left one with a bewildering feeling of nostalgic familiarity, driven by an exciting energy and vibe as powerful today as it was some 52 years ago. Steve is a god amongst guitarists, inspiring not just us original "progs"but also those young aspiring musical explorers of today. Steve was a Genesis original, and has no doubt played these songs thousands of times, yet on this night, the tone, the emotion and the drive were as fresh as the day these sounds first struck the ears in 1972. Though Gabriel, Banks, Rutherford and Collins were not on stage, it made no difference to the Genesis experience. The music is timeless, and the artists that played before us recreated a masterpiece for all, right there, on the stage of the Majestic Theater in the heart of Dallas! So, I thank and applaud each of them: Roger King, the brilliant master of the keys, playing with class and precision. Rob Townsend, bringing us a wide range of amazing melodic emotion via sax and flute, as well as additional keyboard and percussionist talents. Jonas Reingold, providing a firm foundation on his Rickenbacker, shining light on his talents with a powerful, fun, captivating solo. Craig Blundell, magnificent performance, culminating in a thunderous solo of pure drumming talent, (bought one of his signed drum heads before the show). Nad Sylvan, the voice this band needs. Comparisons abound between the various vocalists that have come and gone since the days of Peter Gabriel and his bat wing headdress. Nad is just Nad, he is not trying to imitate, but does successfully, for me at least, capture the original intent of the Gabriel performance. Finally, there is Steve Hackett himself. Ageless and as passionate about his music as he has always been. This night he projected the very essence of a man at one with his guitar. The textures of the sounds he so eloquently produced were second to none. I thank him for keeping this music alive and out there for all to enjoy. A stunning night.

An excellent show. Glad I hot to experience it. Band was great.

What a perfect evening of amazing music and memories with Steve Hackett at The Majestic in Dallas. I have been a fan of Steve Hackett dating to his days as the lead guitar player of Genesis. Steve and his remarkable band have managed to keep this music alive, and deliver a perfect rendition of it. Hackett shows also feature songs from Steve's solo career, which are equally genius to the Genesis music. The Majestic is a great venue, with comfortable seats (that swivel like rocking chairs!), incredible sight lines from any seat and convenient well-lit nearby parking. I hope Steve Hackett brings his tour to Dallas again soon. "Foxtrot at 50"was a great show, and now we're ready for "Selling England by The Pound at 50"and/or "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway at 50!"

Steve Hackett is easily one of the 10 best guitarists of all time. And he proved it again... Excellent song choices and a great performance by the band.

WOW. First off-venue is spectacular! Beautiful theater, clean and comfortable. I was honored to sit in the front row-at the stage…..an immersive experience! I am a big Genesis fan, so getting to hear some of my favorite music performed by Steve himself, was pretty danged exciting. The band Steve has assembled to help him deliver his craft is tight, and excellent musicians in their own right! Sure hope they keep touring and come through again! If you were there and saw a tall white guy wearing a Genesis Foxtrot T-shirt…..yeah, that was me. LOL.

Between the great Genesis songs, his amazing guitar playing and his singer that sounds very much like Peter Gabriel, it was a truly fantastic show! We're so glad we went and highly recommend to anyone who loves Genesis to go and see it!

Had never really followed his solo career like I have Peter and Phil but was pleasantly surprised with the show. I knew Steve was a great guitar player but he has assembled one heck of a band.

Hackett and band were so great for entertaining! Music was superb and true to actual recording. Sound levels were just right and light show topped it all off. And Hacket is so humble it made for a wonderful night for me and my wife.

An incredible performance by some of the best musicians I have ever heard. I had high expectations, the band exceeded them exponentially. Not to be missed !!!

It had been roughly 47 years since I had seen Steve Hackett perform live. That was the Genesis Wind and Wuthering tour in 1977. With that being my last live impression of Steve, I did not know what to expect, especially considering his last band I saw him perform with was Genesis. He and his band did not disappoint! From the first notes until the final goodbye, the show was a solid ten. Of course, I'm biased since my two favorite albums of all time are Genesis: Foxtrot and Selling England by the Pound. Steve and the band played some of my favorites from his early solo albums as well as some excellent new tunes from, The Circus and the Night Wale. After a brief intermission, Steve and the boys kicked off, Watcher of the Skies and proceeded to plow through the entire Foxtrot album. It was no surprise to hear a band that is as tight as any I've seen in recent history, especially with every Tony Banks keyboard note being perfectly played. The same applied to the Michael Rutherford bass lines. Even though the drumming was a little different than some of the original Phill Collins licks, the sound was still pure ecstasy. The ultimate drum solo was also personal and rich. When the lead vocalist let loose his best Gabriel, it was excellent! Also of note was the multi-instrumentalist, who played all the sax and flute parts masterfully. The encore, Firth of Fifth and Los Endos, as well as some other nice-improvised pieces, were done to perfection and showcased Steve's guitar prowess and why he is one of the most respected and highly rated musicians in the world. It was truly an emotional experience watching him play. You know it's great when you have tears in your eyes and a big smile on your face. I may never have another opportunity to see Steve and the band again, but if not, this concert will hopefully hold me over for another almost fifty years!

One advantage of seeing bands and musicians of a certain age is their utter professionalism and musicianship. Steve Hackett is one of the best guitarists still touring....period. In addition, every member of his band is almost as good as him! I had forgotten what it was like to see pure musicians perform their craft as well as these guys. The audience was FILLED with old school Prog Rock enthusiasts who cheered loudly after every song. There were multiple standing ovations and lengthy clapping. This wasn't unnoticed by the band. At the end, they were applauding US and taking pictures of the audience! It truly was a magical night. Can't recommend them enough.

I love that the very talented Steve Hackett and his band played my favorite Genesis album, Foxtrot. I like that Steve Hackett said he still enjoys playing the album. The musicianship was excellent and the singer nailed Peter Gabriel. I believe the band were enjoying the evening as they played to a truly appreciating audience Hearing “Watcher of the Skies” live brought a tear of joy that filled my soul!

Amazing show. The band was awesome and the whole show was top class. The first part (of the new music of the band) was pleasantly surprising, and the second part where Foxtrot and other Genesis old stuff was played were OUTSTANDING.

First time at The Factory. Clean,atmosphere,sound gets a 10. Nice seats, never sat in chair wider than me. Alchohol moderately priced, when a double costs what a whole bottle cost, still way too high. 2 tacos $15,come on man!!! Steve Hackett was amazing, please bring him back. Great venue. There really needs to be an investigation into the price gouging at these events

The Embassy Theater is a small venue, not a bad seat in the house. I am so happy I didn't miss the show

I went with people that knew the words. It made the show a different experience. I was not a Genesis fan.( not a non-fan,. Just inexperienced. ) The music was so full of undercurrents. Voices made sense. Drummer,bass had nice solos. Hate to say it, some songs were just tooo longish. But that was only my opinion. (I was explained to why I was insane to think that way) after show with friends was really the best. They told their stories and memories. Music is the voice of many generations. And Steve Hackett s music held many memories. Thank you. Great great great concert great venue. I have many more years to experience the music of Steve Hackett.

The venue has always been one of the best. Drinks... reasonable..the seating is also ..flexible..( seats a little tight on balcony).. but have sat everywhere..now..THE SHOW..the show.. the show fantastic..as close to a Genesis concert as you can get..heck it was one !! Supper's Ready was worth price of admission!! (And the price of the drinks, parking..the dinner and drinks before and even worth my wife's! Just saying), lighting good show.. No extra sceens.. kinda miss close ups..crowd was great..almost all knew the words .. all kinda older friendly odd crowd with friendships forming over great music. Would go the second night if available. . Will see new show (starts in July) when and if available U.S. currently all not U.S. and sold out lol.. yeah. Had to look.. Then Steve Hackett. Well he is a voice of his own.. so many memories along with the music..and the band was great set of musicians.. a bass solo to die for..a drum solo that was amazing. The singer had a great peter Gabriel vibe.. not to mention the keyboards and sax giving such depth to the music. Don't want to leave anyone out. I know so much background workers. Lights sound roadies managers. Lol etc etc. Thank you all for great show!!

2nd row center, what a fabulous show. Sound was excellent, right accomplished musicians. Have seen Steve 3xs now and 3xs with those other guys. He serves Justus to complex music!
