As most of you know Steve Hackett's Genesis Revisited Tour will be playing 2 shows at The Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, IL as this year's ProgNight 2013.
I just got word that Simon Collins, son of Genesis frontman/drummer Phil Collins, Francis Dunnery (It Bites) and Dave Kerzner (Kevin Gilbert's Thud) will all be joining Steve Hackett on stage for his Genesis Revisited performances at the Arcada Theatre in Chicago on September 20th and 21st. Both Simon and Francis were guests on the album with Simon singing several sections of the song "Supper's Ready" and Francis singing on both "Supper's Ready" and "Dancing With The Moonlit Knight." Dave (aka "Squids" here on PE!) played keyboards along with Roger King on the second half of the song including the keyboard solo. Dave was also given an "additional production" credit on "Supper's Ready" for putting together the sessions with Simon and Francis remotely in studios on the other side of the ocean.
As special guests for these two nights only, the three of them will perform the Genesis songs they were part of on the album plus a bonus surprise. While there are no opening act performances from either Francis Dunnery or Simon and Dave's band Sound of Contact, there's talk of them both playing a separate show on another night before the event. I'll share more details when I have them. It's going to be a stellar prog weekend of Genesis music!
So please make sure to get your tickets now for the only Hackett shows on the tour to have these very special guests! You can get tickets now at www.oshows.com
