Absolutely, it was a fantastic concert, wish it had been captured.

Well knowing enough musically speaking, instead your short age

Mover is a great drummer

I loved this album, too!

😊 I didn't even hear it until you brought it up. Now it's all I hear.... Like Mr Rogers background music

Thank you for your kind comment. Actually the information of gtr are actually quite uncertain in various of online sources, but I believe the authority answer of it was the operational costs of the group exceeded the profits. Howe wanted to invest in a recording studio, while Hackett planned to purchase better equipment. Coupled with management's demands for various remixes, in a situation where funds were neither coming in nor going out, even tho GTR's reputation is there, Hackett still decided to leave instead trying to increase any debts possible.

Yeah, I agree. In the eighties a lot of pop music was simply money laundering. Depending on percentages, you can be working more and earning less, that happened to all kinds of people. Peopel really aren't aware of how corrupt the entertainment industry is. Hackett has said the company was essentially bankrupt. Now given how much money is being made by tours and albums it seems hard to believe "we need to buy equipment" or "we can't afford studio time" is any kind of realistic excuse. I suspect since Hackett wasnt a huge name and Howe was, that Hackett maybe had to sign in under less than generous conditions and felt that continuing wasn't going to help. EVERYBODY has to put food on the table, so given that he was in a successful band and still thought it better "to work on my own" then obviously there are unknown considerations there. As you say, Howe seems to have a bit of a problem with other guitarists, so I'm kind of suspecting it was a case of Hackett thinking "if I'm not makign BIG money then I'll be damned if I'm going to work with another Tony Banks....and a Tony Banks on my own instrument". But outside Pink Floyd most of these guys really don't like slinging mud much in public, so I suspect its a combination of those two things.

@@mikearchibald744 That is a massive amount of speculation. I see no legitimate reason to doubt what he said. It was not going to be financially viable. And in fact, it was going to be significant financial loss. Why would he stay in a band that was only going to incur financial debt to him?

@@Dirgnimai7 Yeah, thats why I wrote 'I suspect". But how often do you hear artists say "Boy I hope I can have a hit album so we can go bankrupt"

Howe explained that he and Hackett approached their collaboration from different perspectives. Hackett had grown accustomed to working independently with his own band, while Howe had been in long-term band commitments and viewed himself as maybe more of a team-oriented player. He said that he took responsibility for any issues that arose, stating that he may have needed to make more effort to accommodate Hackett's preferences as Hackett increasingly distanced himself from the project. As far as Howe and Banks are concerned, the former to my knowledge has always been complimentary of the latter who has, well, not always done the same. According to Banks' former bandmates in Yes and Flash, he was not easy to get along with and apparently self-medicated with booze.

Thank you!

Exactly. Sounds like it was written by someone unfamiliar with the English language.

Thanks for your generous advice, will try to do better

Still don’t understand why you would make a video like this without correcting the grammar first.

Howe a pain full stop.

I rented that CD. Nothing to write home about. Did hackett have financial problems. Good. He was a dick when I met Genesis in Buffalo, NY. Although I do have his LP'S. I'm NOT a total dick

Bought the album (though it’s spent most of past 35+ years sitting on the shelf). Bought it because I loved both Howe in Yes and Hackett in Genesis. Still do (the 1970s era). Still listen to 1970s Yes and Genesis. IMHO, that music stands the test of time. GTR. Bacon sung well enough. Howe and Hackett played well enough. But there was simply no magic there. Certainly nothing like 1970s Yes and Genesis magic. At least Hackett managed to pull off a mean Clint Eastwood impersonation.

@@jayem1826 do you think ? from the comments you've made I'm not so sure

So weird, because of howe meeting with Hackett. An according to.genesis guitarist the so called Split was because financial issues in England. Try to.do a little reseach before the comments. Hackett Is a Constance in.the "Cruise to.the edge" powered by..... YES

All he did was lift from Spinal Tap (Shark Sandwich / Shit Sandwich) and that was his proudest moment. Whatevs....history will remember Howe and Hackett first.

Love your description!

There is nothing worse than shiny aerobic leotard poodle rock. heh.

Lo que asap es that ut tienes le otsug en the ollidfun.

Pop.sound? For real?.many couterparting beetween harmonies of.both guitarist....It.could be AOR but no. You need to disqualify the project as a pop... Poor musical diagnosis

The same happened with Emerson Lake & Powell in the same 1986 “Touch and Go” album a great disaster

@@omaramador4669 a great disaster? Oh boy... It was a different approach but.is a Great album.... Definetely people do.not get the prog in the 80s.... The following comment would be regarding RUSH "presto" or "hold.your fire", or "a momentary lapse of.reason" by PINK FLOYD Even the worst act of Steve Howe, Steve Hackett, Greg Lake, Keith Emerson or any master of prog, Is better than current music

@@fenderstratocastertelecast8479 I was talking about the 80’s music from the same decade when I was a teen. Also I didn’t like Rush and many others. I skipped many groups and started to listen Heavy Metal 🎸 and Trash Metal
