Interview by Kris PetersAcclaimed musical innovator and six-time Grammy nominee, Steven Wilson, will bring his highly anticipated The Overview Tour to Australia this November. His arrival will follow a massive run of UK, European and American dates and celebrates the release of his eighth solo album, The Overview, out now via Fiction Records.Australian fans can expect a captivating live experience from one of contemporary music's most boundary-pushing, genre bending artists. Accompanied by accomplished and seasoned veterans including Nick Beggs on bass (Mute Gods, Steve Hackett), legendary jazz keyboardist, Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Ray Manzarek), Craig Blundell on drums (Steve Hackett, Frost) and Randy McStine on guitars (Marco Minnemann, The Fringe) this world-class line up will bring the expansive, progressive soundscapes to life in a way that can only be experienced in a live setting.The Overview is a 42-minute conceptual journey inspired by the “overview effect” of astronauts viewing Earth from space, and marks a return to the long-form progressive style Steven Wilson redefined with the iconic Porcupine Tree and his earlier solo work. Featuring two ambitious tracks and immersive spatial audio production, The Overview blends progressive sprawl with cinematic electronics and lush, immersive vibes all wrapped in spatial audio wizardry.It's a bold addition to his repertoire which also includes six Grammy nominations, three consecutive UK Top 5 albums and a string of iconic remixes for artists including, Pink Floyd, The Who, King Crimson and Tears For Fears. The Australian tour promises to be a thrilling and dynamic experience. Expect a set packed with The Overview's mind-bending sprawl, alongside cuts from his acclaimed and peerless career.HEAVY had the pleasure of chatting with Wilson, in an enlightening chat that proves why the man is so highly regarded in the music industry. One of the questions we asked focused on the length of his songs and whether the global shortening of attention spans comes into his thinking when writing."The simple answer is I try not to think about the listener when I mark art," he answered honestly. "That sounds very selfish and self-indulgent, and it is, but I've always believed that artists - if I can pretentiously call myself that - should never be thinking about their audience when they create the art, I think by definition it is a selfish act, and you just hope that people want to go with you on that journey. You hope that people will give you the benefit of the doubt. I have a fairly loyal fan base that listen to everything I do. Even if they moan about it, and they complain it's not what they want they still go with me on that journey (smiles), which I think is something that I've built up over the years, that kind of loyalty. Also, I think there's a sense of providing the alternative. There's always been this notion in pop and rock of alternative music. Providing the alternative to whatever is the mainstream at the moment. The mainstream at the moment, as you suggested, is very immediate, short, synthesized pop music. Usually sung by female solo artists. That seems to be very much the prevalent, mainstream, pop formula. So here I am kind of providing the alternative to that. There are people that want that. There are people who want to engage on a deeper level and are prepared to sit and listen to a longer piece of music. So in that sense I see myself as the alternative to the mainstream, and there's always an audience for that."In the full interview, Steve runs us through his busy schedule, tells us what has changed since his last visit, his backing band and what they bring to the live show, The Overview and how fans responded, the conceptual story it is based on and how it transpired to verse, the balance of writing long compositions in the face of people's shortening attention spans, the musical atmosphere generated in his music and the process of bringing it to life, constructing set lists when so many of his songs are lengthy and more.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

En janvier 2024, le groupe de jazz fusion hongrois DJABE se produit avec l'anglais STEVE HACKETT (ex-GENESIS) dans un festival norvégien. Tout ce petit monde en profite pour se réchauffer en studio et produire ce bel ouvrage qu'est "Frya Artic Jam" qui vient tout juste de sortir et qui ouvre avec bonheur notre émission !  Autre belle et fraîche sortie, à peine un an après "Favorite Places", BRENDAN PERKINS (qui maîtrise tous les instruments de son album !) nous propose "Stories From The Old Church Lane", on adore les belles histoires !  Toujours en terres britanniques, KING CRIMSON, l'occasion de rendre hommage au regretté John Wetton sur un album paru en l'an de grâce 1974. Vive la délation ! On retourne en Norvège (territoire décidément prolifique du genre) pour donner l'antenne à un tout nouveau groupe qui s'est étrangement choisi pour nom SYKOFANT. Pourquoi ce nom dont l'origine grecque sycophante signifie "délateur professionnel" ? Cela reste dans les mystères afférents au monde du rock progressif...Mais écouter ce nouveau projet fort réussi !  Retour dans les 70's avec une nouvelle formation autour de Sonja Kristina qui conserve toutefois le nom de son groupe CURVED AIR mais pour une orientation plus "rock" avec la sortie de l'excellent "Air Cut". Dans la belle région de Bretagne se cache un groupe fantastique qui mériterait quand même plus d'exposition : SAQQARAH. Extrait ici du dernier album en date des vannetais et l'occasion de préciser qu'ils se montreront sur scènes cet été, d'abord à domicile le 8 août aux RENC'ARTS de Guidel puis le 15 du même mois au désormais célèbre festival MOTOCULTOR de Carhaix. Vous faites quoi cet été ? En revanche on n'est pas prêt de revoir MIKE OLDFIELD qui semble avoir pris sa retraite loin là-bas dans les Caraïbes...Mais il nous reste une belle et grande discographie, comme par exemple la surprenante 3ème mouture de son célèbre Tubular Bells sortie à la fin des 90's ! Plongée dans les balbutiements du rock progressif italien avec les napolitains OSANNA, qu'on retrouve avec leur tout 1er album en 1971 avant leur grandiose "Palepoli"... On ne peut certes pas inclure THE BEATLES dans l'univers du rock progressif mais mais mais...leur période psychédélique de 1967 nous laisse quand même des titres qui ont toute leur place dans ce programme et puis de toute façon...je fais ce que je veux !! Pour refermer le rideau sur ce numéro, le groupe EDENYA qui annonce un nouveau single pour les prochains jours, histoire de patienter jusqu'au nouvel album que j'attends avec impatience et que j'espère découvrir (et partager) avant la fin de la saison. Côté live, on pourra certainement écouter leur nouvel opus au festival CRESCENDO le 17 août à Saint Palais sur Mer  ! Vous faites quoi cet été ?  Page Facebook de l'émission : AMAROK44

We're incorrigible Genesis fans. We hail every bit of output from 1970 to 1978. We even go further than that. But here, for episode 127, we stop and lovingly gaze at the band's final album of the '70s, the first after the departure of guitarist Steve Hackett, and a work that some mark as the band's departure from prog rock. Not so, say we! Spectral, ghostly, gauzy, playful, lush as all get-out...and total prog. We laud this fascinating transitional effort by one of the greatest bands of all time...prog or otherwise, Note I:The Radical Research Patreon page is now set up and ready for your patronage.

This podcast is conceived and conducted by Jeff Wagner and Hunter Ginn. Though we consume music in a variety of ways, we give particular privilege to the immersive, full-album listening experience. Likewise, we believe that tangible music formats help provide the richest, most rewarding immersions and that music, artwork, and song titles cooperate to produce a singular effect on the listener. Great music is worth more than we ever pay for it.

Current Steve Hackett bassist and ex-Flower King Jonas Reingold is back with the sixth Karmakanic album, Transmutation. The new album sees Karmakanic as less of a band and more of a collective of musicians, featuring a new lead vocalist in John Mitchell (Lonely Robot, Arena, It Bites, Kino, Frost*). Jonas was kind enough to tell me about the making of Transmutation, his musical background, joining the Flower Kings and Steve Hackett's band, being in Los Angeles to mix the record during the height of the wildfires, and much more.

On this week's episode of RITY, our mini theme is What Makes The World Go 'Round?... Plus, a song written from the perspective of a couple "doing the deed" seconds before a nuclear disaster... A song that's the end result of a rock band trying to remain relevant as the disco era was taking over... A George Harrison song inspired by the home of comedian, Lord Buckley... Deep cuts from Hall & Oates, Steve Hackett, MC5, Tom Jones, Bob Mould, and much more! For more info on the show, visit reelinwithryan.com

Legendary singer Chris Thompson, known for fronting Manfred Mann's Earth Band and co-writing You're The Voice, looks back on his incredible career. He shares behind-the-scenes stories on recording Blinded By The Light, working with Jeff Wayne on War of the Worlds, and collaborating with icons like Alan Parsons, Gary Moore, and Steve Hackett. Now, after 60 years in music, Chris has released The Final Round—his last-ever live album. He opens up about why he's stepping away from touring, the emotions of his final show, and what's next for him. A must-listen for classic rock fans!

Bassist Jonas Reingold joins the podcast to talk about the new Karmakanic album 'Transmutation', touring with Steve Hackett, Cruise to the Edge & more.   Transmutation releases on 7th March 2025 and will be available on CD, vinyl, and streaming platforms. Celebrating independent artistry, all formats will be released on Jonas's own label, Reingold Records: https://www.jonasreingold.se/ Reingold has enlisted a stellar lineup of world-class musicians to bring his vision to life. Among them is his longtime friend and musical companion, Steve Hackett (Genesis), who delivers breathtaking guitar work throughout the album. Drum legends Simon Phillips (Toto, The Who, Judas Priest), Nick D'Virgilio (Big Big Train, Spock's Beard, Mr. Big), and Craig Blundell (Steven Wilson, Steve Hackett, Frost) provide a rhythm section of extraordinary depth. For the first time, Reingold collaborates with vocalist John Mitchell (Asia, Lonely Robot, Frost, Arena), whose gritty, soulful voice perfectly complements Reingold's melodic compositions. Additionally, Randy McStine delivers lead guitar firepower, marking their first collaboration since The Fringe in 2016. The album also features an all-star lineup, including Lalle Larsson, Andy Tillison, Tomas Bodin, Luke Machin, Göran Edman, Rob Townsend, Roger King, and Krister Jonsson, among others. Recorded across Nashville, Los Angeles, Germany, and Austria, the album delivers a breathtaking sonic experience, mixed by five-time Grammy-winning engineer Chris Lord-Alge (Rolling Stones, Muse, Tina Turner, Prince) at his Los Angeles studio, MIX LA.

Steven talks about his vinyl record of the new Steve Hackett live album Live Magic at Trading Boundaries! Plus, he reminds people again about other stuff that's been going on at and scheduled for Trading Boundaries.

FRED (450 mill.) På jord. Mellem mennesker. I sindet. I hjertet. Så bliver temaet virkeligt ikke meget større. Eller mere håbefuldt ...og åbenbart utopisk. Nok har der været fred i perioder af menneskets hærgen på jorden og forskellige geografiske områder på skift. Både internt i nationer og mellem dem. Men formentlig sjældent, hvis aldrig, på hele jorden samtidigt. Måske undtaget de første par måneder i tidernes morgen. Skaberens optakt? Ondskaben, kynismen, total mangel på empati og en alt for stor villighed til at dræbe. Parret med tvangen om at gøre det pr. ordre i den ulyksalige kommando-struktur. Dertil kommer 'evnen', der desværre er blevet voldsomt forstærket med den industrielle revolution og har skabt våben-industrier, der leverer syge midler til masse-drab. Noget også talløse stakkels civile har mærket følgen af. 450.000.000 (som nævnt i overskrift), er det estimerede tal på samtlige tabte liv i alverdens historiske krige. Så mange unikke liv. Så mange visnede stamtræer og så megen sorg hos efterladte. Så meget gru + lidelse. Men du kan stadig bruge en fredelig lørdag på at lytte til det både smukke og triste tema, der også i nogle tilfælde handler om at finde den individuelle, indre fred. Med: The Archies, Bing & Bowie, Elvis Costello, Depeche Mode, The Doors, Steve Hackett, Imagine Dragons, Imperiet, Kashmir, John Lennon, New Musik, Mike Oldfield, Prince, Paul Simon, Spleen United, Cat Stevens, Taylor Swift, Thompson Twins og U2. Plus Paul McCartney.

Quelques mois après la colère de fans d'Oasis au sujet des prix exorbitants de certains billets pour la tournée de reformation du groupe, le gouvernement britannique a annoncé vendredi qu'il comptait plafonner les prix à la revente. Steve Hackett a partagé un nouveau clip live dans lequel il interprète le titre "Jacuzzi", extrait de son album ‘'Defector'' de 1980. Billy Corgan, le leader des Smashing Pumpkins, a partagé des images de ces feux de forêt de Los Angeles, qui ont contraint plus de 150 000 habitants et plus à quitter leurs maisons et John Mayer a lui aussi partagé son empathie pour tous les riverains délocalisés. Quels étaient les 25 vinyles préférés de David Bowie (en ligne sur notre site web Classic21.be) ? Les White Stripes ont annoncé une réédition spéciale de leur cinquième album ‘'Get Behind Me Satan'' de Jack et Meg White à l'occasion de son 20e anniversaire. The Amazons a partagé un nouveau single en collaboration avec Royal Blood, il s'intitule ‘'My Blood''.

While the first of our two year in review episodes focused on the albums we reviewed and authors & podcasters we hosted on the show, Part 2 drills down on the live concerts we talked about and the 15 artists & legends we had the good fortune to interview on UAWIL in 2024. We knew that when The Wolf left Europe for the American midwest, there would be fewer opportunities to see live shows by the bands we love. But we made the most of it with some killer concerts including taking a disappointed 9 year old to see Journey (He's not the leads singer of Journey!?!), taking Action Jackson to his first Steve Hackett show, laughing and singing along with Colin Hay and finally seeing Wolfgang Van Halen live. But the real story is around the amazing performers we welcomed in 2024, almost doubling the number we hosted in 2023 and tripling the number of Rock N Roll Hall of Famers. We welcomed Steve Hackett (Genesis) for the 2nd time as well as his fellow Hall of Famers Guy Fletcher (Dire Straits) and the legendary Steve Howe (Yes, Asia). We also spoke with members of or worked with bands we loved growing up like Simple Minds, Vixen and Eric Clapton. We also spoke with some new generation rockers like Kiran Roy (October Drift) and Scott Holiday (Rival Sons) as in order to keep rock alive, we need new bands to fly the flag. The Wolf & Action Jackson are grateful to all our many listeners all over the globe, to our sponsor RareVinyl.com, to our friends at Pantheon Podcasts and to each other for putting together the best year we've ever had!! Happy Holidays to all and all the best for a safe, peaceful and rockin 2025!

The last time Genesis keyboard player extraordinaire Tony Banks came on the show was a few years ago, and we discussed a box set of his solo albums. Since then there has been a final Genesis tour, “The Last Domino?”, which I got to see the opening and closing nights of, and Tony now has a new boxset compiling his three classical albums “7”, “6”, and “5”. The first half of the interview we take a deep dive into that process which I hope you'll find interesting. Creating classical music isn't something we've really explored on the podcast before. In the second half of the interview Tony shares details of an upcoming boxset of “The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway”, and he also confirms details of a reissue of their 60's debut album “From Genesis To Revelation”, which in the past has been ignored from official Genesis reissue campaigns. We talk about how he feels he is perceived by Genesis fans, and whether he's tempted to emulate the very successful touring approach of former Genesis bandmate Steve Hackett, who incidentally he also clarifies his feeling about during our chat. I think this conversation is quite something. Hope you enjoy. Let me know what you think. Instagram: @sendingsignalspodcastX: @signalspodcast

1986 may be remembered most for Invisible Touch and So, but Steve Hackett, along with Steve Howe, also enjoyed some time on the Billboard charts with their project, GTR. The Tabletop discusses this album by the supergroup, and gets the inside scoop from GTR drummer Jonathan Mover.

Charlamos sobre el disco 'Selling England by the Pound' de Genesis, con Kyke Serrano (exteclista de Jarabe de Palo) como invitado. En 'Selling England by the Pound', los miembros de Genesis eran: Phil Collins a la batería, Tony Banks a los teclados, Mike Rutherford al bajo y a la guitarra, y Steve Hackett a la guitarra. En esta segunda parte comentamos: La música, los sonidos y las letras de las dos canciones siguientes, «I Know What I Like (in your Wardrobe)» y «Firth of Fifth». La afinidad de Peter Gabriel por crear personajes dentro de sus canciones. El estilo de Tony Banks, el teclista de Genesis. Cómo Steve Hackett (el guitarrista) se unió a la banda. La supuesta dicotomía entre bandas de composiciones propias y grupos de versiones o tributos. La posibilidad de que criarnos escuchando canciones en idiomas que no entendemos nos aísle de las letras, incluso cuando luego escuchamos música en nuestra propia lengua Además, Kyke nos cuenta la loca historia de algo que le pasó de adolescente tras responder a un anuncio clasificado en el que se buscaba teclista. Y por el camino nos encontramos con Toto, Dream Theater, The Musical Box, el VHS, el Casiotone y una ‘performance' no apta para diabéticos.

Send us a textIn today's episode, we look at how social media gives us a grab-bag of people's memories of stars and some who weren't quite so successful, or scarcely successful at all.  Nonetheless, they are remembered by some and lionised on social media. The other side of "on-line" is the channels that present video imagery of any and everything, such as YouTube, TikTok and so on.  Jeff presents a bunch of interesting links for you to investigate.   In “Knockin' on Heaven's Door”, we lament the passing of such greats as David Sanbourn, John Mayall, as well as a couple of guys who have played beneath the radar for most of their career but still worked with giants like Frank Zappa, Jean-Luc Ponty, Ray Charles, Steve Hackett, and many others. Our “Album You Must Hear Before You Die” is John Mayall's “Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton” from 1966.  The album featured John Mayall, Eric Clapton, John McVie (Fleetwood Mac) and Hughie Flint (Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band) and marks the start of Clapton's legend as a British guitar god.  References:  social media, Nick Cave, “Australian bands from the 60's - 90's”, music nostalgia, Mi-Sex, Graffiti Crimes, Kevin Stanton, “Computer Games”, Space Race, “Live at the Wireless”, Kransky Sisters, Second Thoughts, Split Enz, Mental Notes, “Stranger than fiction”, Husker Du, Bob Mould, Greg Norton, Tim Walz, The Angels, Selina's, Coogee Bay Hotel, cost of stadium tours, Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band, Mick Conway, My Wahini in Wangaratta, Tamam Shud, The Dynamic Hepnotics, A Soul Kind of Feeling, Quora, Reddit, YouTube, "What's In My Bag?", Amoeba Music, Professor of Rock, Rick Beato, Playing For Change, the Needle Drop, Top 5 Record, Billy the Mountain, (Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention), Aynsley Dunbar, Howard Kaylan & Mark Volman, The Turtles, Anthony Amaratti, Muiris Mac Cartaine  Links:  Playlist (including “Billy The Mountain”) Other Links:Amoeba Music - What's In My Bag? Professor of Rock Rick Beato  Playing For Change When the Levee Breaks The Needle Drop Top Five Record Lists Billy the Mountain - Frank Zappa & The Mothers of Invention Computer Games – The Kransky sisters

En este episodio comentamos: Las dos etapas de Genesis —con Peter Gabriel o Phil Collins a la voz— y las reacciones críticas de algunos puristas a la liderada por Collins. El concepto detrás de 'Selling England by the Pound' y el contexto musical en el que se publicó. La música, los sonidos y la letra de la primera canción del disco: «Dancing with the Moonlit Knight». La dicotomía entre virtuosismo y sencillez en la música. Algunas de las diferencias entre los métodos de producción musical de los años setenta y los actuales. Y por el camino nos encontramos con Jean-Michel Jarre, Pink Floyd, Frank Zappa, David Bowie, Martin Scorsese, Mecano, Masiel, José Luis Perales y ‘El último tango en París', entre otros.

Greetings everyone! Welcome back to the podcast. We've made it to episode 8, and I'm thrilled to introduce my guest, Mr. Steve Hackett. This episode is particularly special to me because I get to chat with a man who was a huge part of my all-time favorite band, Genesis. A band that had a profound impact on my musical evolution. It still feels surreal that I know Steve, that he's had me play on several of his recent records, and that I even had the chance to perform live with him and his incredible band a couple of years ago. These experiences have been truly remarkable for me. What stands out about Steve is not just his extraordinary musicianship, but his genuine kindness. With a long and storied career in the music industry, he has countless stories to share and a wealth of wisdom to impart. This interview was a real joy for me, as Steve's responses were both candid and insightful. We delved into his early days before Genesis, his experiences as a young musician in London, and the difficult decision to leave the band. We also discussed his solo career and the process of building his brand, as well as how a life in music impacts personal relationships. It's an insightful and enjoyable conversation that I'm excited for you to hear. Cheers! #nickdvirgilio #ndv #stevehackett #podcast #soyouwanttobeamusician #musiclife

Vacation for the Imbalanced History team means 5 classic, never-before-repeated, episodes from 2021, through the month of July!!! When Markus and Ray first talked to Steve Hackett, he and his wife Jo were in Covid lockdown, early in the pandemic. The reality of Covid is part of the discussion, but we've edited the original discussion, for current purposes. Still, the story of how this amazing album, Under A Mediterranean Sky, came to be, comes through, as the guys and Steve dig into the music, and its sources. Here's a handy link to purchase any of the albums/videos we discuss via Hackettsongs.com! A couple notes: this episode was originally episode #107, and our sound quality then, isn't what it is these days. Begging your pardon, but the interview & music make it worth it!

Here on First Concert Memories, the monthly sidecast from your friends at The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast, we endeavor to bring you stories from guests about the first time they saw a particular band and how that impacted their life. For FCM 9, we're joined by dear friend of the show Amanda Lehmann as she relates going to see Rainbow in 1980 as she was still a wee lass. Amanda has grown up to be an extraordinary singer and guitar player and you have to know that seeing a legend like Ritchie Blackmore when she was just 12 had a profound effect on her musical journey and career. We've hosted her on the show before (Eps 61 & 70) and seen her play live with Steve Hackett in the UK and so enjoyed hearing her tell the tale of this important night in her young life. Not only do we dive into the live performance by a star-studded band (Ritchie on guitar, Roger Glover on bass, Cozey Powell on drums, Don Airey on keys, Graham Bonnet on vocals) but we talk about her journey on the train, through town and up to the front of the stage to see her heroes in action. Hear Amanda talk about seeing Graham Bonnet with short hair, a Hawaiian shirt and shades and about returning to that same venue to play with Steve Hackett on his recent live release decades later. It's a full circle journey with Amanda Lehmann, one that we think you'll enjoy as much as we did.

There are two distinct eras of music by The Doobie Brothers.  From their formation in 1970 until 1975, Tom Johnston was the lead vocalist, and the group had a mainstream rock sound, with some folk and “California Country” influences.  Starting in 1975, Michael McDonald joined the group as a keyboardist, as well as providing lead vocal work to help Johnston, who was having health problems at the time.  Over the following years, Johnston would have less influence as he neared retirement from the group in 1977.  Michael McDonald would influence the group into a more soulful sound, often called “blue eyed soul.”  Today we would call this “yacht rock.”Minute By Minute, the eighth studio album from the group, comes from the height of the McDonald era.  It is a high water mark for the Doobie Brothers both commercially and critically.  The album would spend 87 weeks on the Billboard 200 album charts in the U.S., topping the charts in five of those weeks.  It would also produce multiple nominations and wins at the Grammy awards in 1980 including Record and Song of the Year wins for “What a Fool Believes.”The Doobie Brothers would break up in 1982, then reform with Johnston back as front man in 1987.  Michael McDonald would rejoin the band full time in 2019 in time for their 50th anniversary tour. You can still find them on tour today.Rob brings us this soulful album for today's podcast.What A Fool BelievesThe lyrics of this hit narrate the story of a man who meets an old crush and tries to rekindle their relationship, only to find out that there never really was a relationship in the first place.  Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins wrote this single, which became a number 1 hit in the US and Canada.Dependin' On YouMichael McDonald and Patrick Simmons wrote this song, and Simmons takes over lead singer duties.  It went to number 25 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The Latin-infused call-and-response song celebrates a rock solid love that is always there.Don't Stop to Watch the WheelsThis shuffle beat deeper cut is sung by Patrick Simmons, and was the B-side from the single release of “What a Fool Believes.” “Look out, hold on, don't stop to watch the wheels go 'round.  Look out, hold on, I got to cover ground.”Minute By MinuteThe title track finds Michael McDonald handling lead vocals, and was written by McDonald and Lester Abrams.  The single was released in April of 1979, and it went to number 14 on the US charts.  The smooth keyboard-driven sound reflects the  Motown inspiration, and is a hallmark song of the “yacht rock” genre. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Every Which Way But Loose by Eddie Rabbitt (from the motion picture “Every Which Way But Loose”)Clint Eastwood would take a break from his action and western movies for this comedy with an orangutan co-star named Clyde. STAFF PICKS:Don't Stop Me Now by Queen Bruce leads off this week's staff picks with a single from Queen's "Jazz" album.  While this tribute to hedonism did well in the UK, it only hit number 86 on the US charts.  It would grow in popularity over time, and would be featured in multiple commercials including Toyota, L'Oréal, and American Idol.Double Vision by ForeignerLynch features a song from Foreigner's second album of the same name.  It reached number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Surprisingly, the inspiration for the song title was an event at a hockey game when a goalie had to be removed after a collision on the ice because he was experiencing double vision.Homicide by 999 Wayne brings us a band from London that is named for the number used in the UK to reach emergency services.  This punk-infused song takes a tongue-in-cheek look at serial killers.  While a top 40 hit in the UK, it didn't chart in the States.  You might recognize this song from the soundtrack to the John Wick series, “The Continental.”Follow You Follow Me by Genesis Rob closes out the staff picks with a softer song from the progressive group Genesis, the closer from their album “...And Then There Were Three...”  The group had condensed to the three members of Phil Collins, Mike Rutherford, and Tony Banks, after former member Steve Hackett chose to leave.   INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Steamer Lane Breakdown by The Doobie BrothersWe get a little double dip of the Doobies as we exit today's podcast on this instrumental number.  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.

The Tabletop dives right into the mouth of the nightwhale to review Steve Hackett's 30th solo release, a semi-autobiographical concept album that many fans are calling his best work in years.

This week I've got a plethora of present-day Prog from Luz de Riada, A Secret River, Isildur's Bane, Steve Hackett, Drifting Sun, Big Big Train, and Karfagen! Plus four bands featured in this month's PROG Magazine: Nospun, Aviations, Psychework, and Harp!

Welcome to a Very Special Episode of the podcast celebrating the show's 3rd Anniversary! I started the podcast in March 2021 during the depths of the pandemic, when musicians like me couldn't play live. It was a bleak time for all of us. I needed to find a creative outlet and so I started this podcast. From the beginning it grew quickly and exponentially. It's been ranked for some time now in the Top 1% of all podcasts. I have listeners worldwide on every continent in 200 countries, and it has won several awards! My guests have included many of the world's most famous musicians and other creatives.Last year to celebrate the 2nd Anniversary I played excerpts from several guest interviews. But for this 3rd Anniversary show I wanted to do something different - and fun. So here's what I decided. After each interview I ask my guest to record a short promo for the podcast. I use these promos at the beginning of other guest interviews. Everyone does their promo a little differently in their own style. After all, they're artists! So I thought it would be fun to put together a montage of promos featuring a slew of my guests. The entire list is below.I want to thank my guests and my listeners for the success of the podcast. As I like to say - Keep On Rockin'! Featured Guests:"Cousin Brucie" Morrow, John Lodge, Ted Nugent, Al Kooper, Gary Puckett, Suzi Quatro, Tony Orlando, William Lee Golden, Richie Furay, Peter Noone, Timothy B.

More great, contemporary progressive sounds await on this week's Prog-Watch! We'll hear music from Luz de Riada, Karfagen, Steve Hackett, Drifting Sun, Shadows on Mercury, and Big Big Train! Plus, our friend and resident reviewer, Dr. Rob Fisher, returns to take us on a voyage of Progressive Discovery with the debut album by Imperial Measures!

Steve Hackett is not only a truly talented guitarist and songwriter but he's a bit of a workaholic. He rewards his fans by touring the world every year, releasing new material on a regular basis and live albums from the themed tours he's led. And though he's in the midst of his Foxtrot at 50 Tour (for which he's already released a live album) we're proud to welcome him back to The Ugly American Werewolf in London Rock Podcast (hear him ahead of the Foxtrot at 50 Tour on UAWIL #87) as he wraps up his final leg of the tour. The Circus and The Nightwhale is his latest release, an autobiographical concept album of his life growing up near Battersea Power Station, forging out into the world of rock music and eventually finding happiness in his life. It's the most prog/concept album he's offered since he was in Genesis and he speaks with us about how he approached this album differently than others. The opening track People of the Smoke stirs memories of growing up in London and sets the tone for a brilliant album full of tapping, tremolos and other tricks at which Steve is so adept. Hear Steve talk about channeling Jeff Beck, using one of Brian May's guitars and why you don't want him playing bass on your album. He's proud that the album has hit #1 on the UK Rock Chart and to be celebrated on the cover of Prog Magazine.

This week get your nerd on with us as we are raiding the Prog Rock crypt again. However, this will be a much different journey into the world of progressiveness, as we are covering Neo-Prog from the early to mid-1980s. A much different time for progressive rock, as these bands were influenced by more than just Genesis, Yes, and King Crimson. These groups were injecting heavy doses of hard rock, new wave, punk, and pop into their progressive Day-Glo soup! Keep an open mind and give it a listen…What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Prog rock in the 60s and 70s initially had mostly classical music and jazz influences, but over the last 40 years it has come to include other fusions of music styles including metal, punk, funk, folk, and electronic. From Zappa and Sgt. Pepper to the 1980s music by bands like Marillion and Pendragon… This is Neo-Prog Rock! Get yer nerd on!Songs this week include:Saga – “Wind Him Up” from Worlds Apart (1981)Twelfth Night – “East Of Eden” from Smiling At Grief (1982)IQ – “The Wake” from The Wake (1985) Pendragon – “Fly High Fall Far” from The Jewel (1985)Gowan – “Keep Up The Fight” from Gowan (1982)It Bites – “All In Red” from The Big Lad In The Windmill (1986)Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!Visit us: https://inobscuria.com/https://www.facebook.com/InObscuriahttps://twitter.com/inobscuriahttps://www.instagram.com/inobscuria/Buy cool stuff with our logo on it!: https://www.redbubble.com/people/InObscuria?asc=uCheck out Robert's amazing fire sculptures and metal workings here: http://flamewerx.com/If you'd like to check out Kevin's band THE SWEAR, take a listen on all streaming services or pick up a digital copy of their latest release here: https://theswear.bandcamp.com/If you want to hear Robert and Kevin's band from the late 90s – early 00s BIG JACK PNEUMATIC, check it out here: https://bigjackpnuematic.bandcamp.com/

Throwbacks are where I re-release old episodes from the archives. So don't worry if you have heard it already, as 'New episodes' will continue to come out on Sundays. To get some of the old episodes heard.~~~Our first guest today is Steve Hackett from the UK, and former guitarist of the British band Genesis, and Steve has been kind enough to come on between tours to share his UFO experience. While standing on Itaipu Beach in Niterói Brazil, he witnessed with several others, a strange configuration of red lights ascending into the sky. The UFO case was also reported in the local newspaper, as many others had reported seeing the objects along the edges of Niterói. Then we head to Virginia in the United States to speak with Catherine about her paranormal experiences, starting with one from her college days when she received a late night visit from a very recently passed friend that left her terrified; then the following night, Catherine's friend came to her in a dream.Steve Hackett's Website:https://www.hackettsongs.comMore information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-165-niteroi-ufos-a-friends-last-goodbye/Want to share your encounter on the show?
