BEST Shadow of The Hierophant version ever!!!

The best increscendo finale in a prog-rock piece ever written!!!!

The TRUE BEAUTY of 70s Music. ☺☺

Great drummer. Gary O'Toole

Absolutely Masterpiece !

Absolutely magic. I 'm catapulted backwards about 45 years. The world was another... Thanks so much Steve Hackett & friends!

One of the great progressive tracks from a true musical genius of our times. Timeless.

Dans les années 70 quand j allais voir Genesis,cet homme se tenait sur le coté de la scène,dans la pénombre. Avec le temps,il a gagné en assurance,en virtuosité et bien vieillit. Peut être, parce qu il a su quitter le navire à temps,juste après Gabriel,avant que le groupe ne sombre dans une soupe commerciale ? Merci pour pour tant de beauté :)

The beautiful simplicity of music at its best. When artists know what they are doing, they transform the whole scene and create a new wonderful world.

this is something powerful!

Sublime performance of a truly fabulous song. Ably assisted by Steven Wilson and Nick Beggs🤩🤩🤩

Like the smile from steve to steve at 8:45

C'est à pleurer et à tomber par terre. Je l'écoute en boucle tous les jours. Rarement on aura fait morceau aussi génial.

Absolutely brilliant performance of a truly beautiful song, the final section is out of this world. Thank you x

It has been 40 years since I bought this marvelous album.

Excellent song, just wonderful, thanks Steve and Amanda for the beautiful voice.

sublime

On of the greatest pieces of Steve ! No doubt !!

Best live performance of one of the best Hackett pieces ever!! perfect :)

Steve Hackett of Genesis and Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree on the same stage together, a real meeting of true geniuses of the prog genre, it doesn't get any better than these guys and when you add Hackett's amazing band to the mix, what you get is an epic performance. I would Shadow Of The Hierophant up there with 'Spectral Mornings' as one of the greatest songs Hackett has ever written, it just gets better and better with every listen.

Fantastic music,Steve Hackett phenomenal

Masterpiece !!!

This is absolute perfection.

Extraordinaire morceau. Une sublime profondeur mélodique.

Amanda you've been awesome !

40 ans après... IMPARABLE !!! Hackett est un pur génie de la composition progressivo/classique (et jazz quand il s'y met...). Ce type est un joyau ! sa musique est une magnificence Merci de nous avoir livré et continuer à le faire (les deux derniers cd sont magnifiques), autant de merveilles qui font du bien à nos petites âmes, parfois, perdues.

absolute beauty

Unusual structure of song, harmonies. So symhonic and poetic. Perfect production. I can't stop listening.

Great musicians, Steve and Steve!

Am now playing this twice a week(for at least a year)......I must have a problem

I'm falling in love with Amanda. What a lady, what a voice.

la meilleure performance live de cet instrumental magistral, signé Hackett !!

That was absolutely epic. Everyone on stage was tearing it up, but in a restrained way that just adds to the drama. Fantastic performance.

I saw this in Rome... Wonderful

Toujours autant d'émotions, 40 ans plus tard !! absolument sublime !!

More of a King Crimson fan, but this track blows me away every time.

I remenber in the 80's but now it's wonderful to listen....and she put me in paradise...

Saw him live at Birmingham Symphony Hall on Monday The 1st of May. When he played this he got a standing ovation for several minutes. The band were going off for the interval but couldn't due to the audience applauding. I first saw him play this live at Birmingham Odeon in '78 on the Please Don't Touch Tour, and can remember being utterly mesmerised by it then. Monday night transported me back to my teenage years and I was as utterly transfixed by it as I was back then. Foxtrot's loss was Voyage Of The Acolyte's gain. Even though on this tour he has dropped Supper's Ready from his set list I didn't feel at all cheated. I've been to hundreds of gigs over the years and Monday night's was easily in my top 5.

Another masterpiece from mister Steve ( Stephen... - GENESiS 1970/1971-->1977/1978 ) Hackett and/from his music-universe - Thanx a lot, Steve + Amanda Lehman + Steven Wilson ... :-)

Amanda Lehmann. Great voice and good guitar player

It's nearly 2am, I've go to be up for work in 4 hours and I can't stop watching SH videos! This is one of the best...

it ' s a really masterpiece , it's holds for the duration of the song with the chills

Wow; brilliant performance from everyone involved, the finale is truly exhilarating. Oh to have been there!

Bravo pour la prestation de la chanteuse (et guitariste) Annette Lehman , c' est un enchantement !

Magical song ......

Great. 40 years old and still unreachable

Bombastic! Flamboyant! Magic...What can we say when we listen to such a beauty??? Bravo!

It's being so long I don't listen to this CD. It's really an amazingly beautiful song!

Great moment of Progressive Rock. Steve Hackett is a very underrated genius.

Amazing ! Saw Steve several times- still out there working ! To see Nick attack the Bass Pedals at the end is priceless!

so powerful...

I can't stop watching this it's fantastic !

What a Masterpiece, Chills !!

Was there that night and saw this from about 10 feet away, and it was massive. What the video barely shows is that Nick (who'd taken off his Ric as not needed) did a whole 'descent into madness' routine on the bass pedals at the end - clenched fists...face in a rictus..great fun. Saw it all over again at Farnham a few weeks after.

Veiling the nightshade bride stalks a flower revealed Nearing the hour make haste to their threshold concealed Lost in thought in search of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun Casting the same steps glimpsing his own fate to come Melt in the dream void from which he never can run Lost in thought in search of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun Tears fill the fountains breaking their promise to heal Rippling the waters mirror an ended ideal Deep in thought but robbed of vision As the moon eclipsed the sun

Oh waouaw, what a pleasure❤, magnifique ❤❤❤❤

Still amazing after all those years

This is EPIC!!!

Eargasm

Grandissima Amanda Lehmann !!! This performance is one of the best live, and very close to the studio album one!! And maybe better....

this is the only time you see Steve headbanging to a song! saw this show live a couple days ago and Gary O'toole is going insane towards the end, even more intense than this, double bass and different patterns... just mindblowing.

Years gone by, just like good wine or wiskey better and better. Watching and listening Steve and his band over and over. More and more realising this kind of music was and is fantastic. Steve, thanks for almost 50 years enyoing you, your band and Genesis from the start. A Dutch fan.

The drumer is the same as the one touring these days in the Genesis revisited Tour 2017? What a fuc** beast!!

Tears of emotion fall when I see Steve Wilson !!! 🥹🥹🥹

Absolutely AMAZING . Thanks Steve , and all the Band for your Great music for all the people of the world

There was an absolutely stunning and mesmerising version of this performed only last night at the London Palladium by Hackett et al.Probably the best song of the evening - despite excellent renditions of Firth of Fifth and Supper's Ready!

Beautiful

pure merveille !

i think this people are real musicians ! this kind of music can take you every where your soul need to find himself! 7 artists! or am i wrong?!!!

there's something very deep about this song. it unsettles and exhilarates in equal measure

Perfection!

Can't even describe how much I love that song... that lineup of musicians... perfect combination!

Great track! Steve is an example for young guitarists

This is pure magic

Este tema es un viaje profundo, por lo más psicodélico y progresivo de la evolución del Rock

magnifique

Wow. Beggs and Wilson on this one with the rest of the gang. Very special!

Everytime I have seen this live it sends me into a trance. Such a majestic piece of music.

Just popped in . I come here every now and again Works for me. Incredible. Ta

Totally mesmerizing. Steve still proudly carries the progressive torch, and I hope he will continue to do that for a long time.

Beautiful music

Incroyable montée en puissance !!!

Saw him at Stone Free at the O2 and they were class, such a tight band. Love to see a longer set live. Just love this song and thanks for posting.

Ethereal and beautiful piece, a jump backwards towards the first Genesis atmospheres

Wonderful, I would like to see this show a day in Brazil, with all these wonderful musicians!

Guau!!! Terrible final clímax! This is pure Hackett!

MASTERPIECE! Timeless... Epic... A hymn...

Pura magia 💜❤

Incomparable Mr Hackett. En Lima el 15 de marzo de 2018 realizo un concierto que fue una obra maestra. Esperamos otra visita del Maestro.

Magical and magnificent.

I bought Voyage of the Acolyte on the day it was released in the Netherlands. Still a masterpiece and this performance of Shadow.... does justice to an amazing fragile, yet powerful song! And then there's Steve Wilson. Who could ask for more!! :)

Monster performance

Last night at The Sage Gateshead (22nd Sept. 2022) I saw Steve Hackett and his band perform this as one of the encores following on from Foxtrot in it's entirety - and while it may not have had Steven Wilson joining in, it certainly was an excellent rendition of this track and a fitting way to draw a breathtaking concert to an almost conclusion: then we got Los Endos to send us on our way hoping for the day we see Stave Hackett and his Band once more !!!!

WOW, just WOW!!!

Outstanding

STUNNING! Thank you so much for uploading this. It made me very, very happy. :-)

8:43 Steven Wilson acknowledging one of his heroes..

I love it!

Just one of the bests ever....

Saw this actual Shadow of the Hierophant in Wolverhampton. Steve was amazing on this, of course., and NICK BEGGS in his long frockcoat, white shirt and top hat was a sight to behold as he just stood there hand in pocket, having a serious session on the Taurus Base Pedals. Nothing can replace the base sound of the Taurus pedals for me, which Genesis used, to superb effect, on all of their early albums. Simply amazing! I could watch this video hundreds of times (probably have) and will never tire of it. A truly wonderful evening. Would not have missed it for the World. I will go and see him again when he’s back in the U.K. I believe he’s in the U.S. and Canada at present.
