Customer Reviews:

Firth of Fifth Blistering Solo.......2004-04-19

Surperb...you must own this if your a Genesis, Crimso of Asia fan. The best "In the Court" (sorry /21st Century Schizoid Band) live or otherwise, Chester on Drums dups Giles. Then there's my favorite guitar solo ever, Firth of Fifth. The first time I heard this on the Selling England album it became my favorite, then on the Live album, better still, then live, better again and here on The Tokyo Tapes, the best ever. Los Endos, Hierophant, watcher and Wetton's Heat of the Moment (acoustic/solo). Some Hackett acoustic/classical. Great!!!!

Pure Hackett - Honest Rock.......2003-11-30

This live album from Steve Hackett, remind us about some monolithic gemstones of 70's & 80's Prog Rock. The guest musicians add a kind of "jam-session" dressing. In few words, a very good work from one the ever best 6 and 12 string acoustic guitar players. And if you're a Genesis or King Crimson fan, this double-disc album is a very good acquisition for your collection. Good music for every hour!

Amazing live treatments from Hackett & band.......2003-11-14

A friend of mine returned from England with this double CD of Hackett's performance in Japan as a gift. Except for an overly long drum solo on one of the tracks, this double-disc set is one that you can play several times in a row without getting tired of the material. I personally love the sweeping, orchestral feeling of the majority of the songs, and it is the best version of "Watcher of the Skies" I've ever heard. The mix of band members from various prog groups is top notch. This was my first introduction to Hackett after his departure from Genesis, and I've been trying to find albums that match up to it in intensity. This is definitely one of my all-time top favorite "desert island" discs.
