Steve Hackett has shared the official video of the Genesis track “Can Utility And The Coastliners” taken from his new live release “Foxtrot At Fifty + Hackett Highlights” which is released on September 15, 2023 through InsideOut Music.

“Foxtrot was a milestone for Genesis, a breakthrough artistically,” Hackett says. “I’m as proud of it today as I was at its inception. I’m thrilled now to bring that album back in its entirety on tour, and the live release has super quality performance, visuals and production. It’s a real feast… Enjoy!“
Hackett has previously released clips of “Watcher Of The Skies” and “A Tower Struck Down.”
Filmed by Paul Green, mixed by Chris Lord-Alge and mastered by Ted Jensen, Foxtrot At Fifty + Hackett Highlights: Live in Brighton will be available in multiple formats including 2CD/Blu-ray, 2CD/2DVD and 4LP.

About Steve Hackett:
Steve Hackett joined Genesis at the beginning of 1971 and gained an international reputation as the guitarist in the band’s classic line-up alongside Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Phil Collins. Hackett‘s intricate guitar work was a key element of Genesis‘ albums from “Nursery Cryme” (1971) to “Wind And Wuthering” (1977) including the classic “Selling England By The Pound.”
After leaving Genesis at the end of 1977, Hackett‘s solo career, which now spans more than 30 albums, has demonstrated his extraordinary versatility with both electric and acoustic guitar. Hackett is renowned as both an immensely talented and innovative Rock musician and a virtuoso classical guitarist and composer and this was recognised in 2010 when he was inducted into the Rock Hall Of Fame. He has also worked alongside Steve Howe of YES in the supergroup GTR.
Hackett‘s compositions take influences from many genres, including Jazz, Classical and Blues. For his later studio works “The Night Siren” (2017) and “At The Edge Of Light” (2019) Hackett has explored the influences of world music. Recent tours have seen Hackett celebrate his time with Genesis including a spectacular 2018 tour in which he realised a long-held ambition to perform the works of Genesis live with his band and an orchestra.
The lockdown enforced by the 2020 global pandemic has proven to be a particularly creative period for Hackett. He began by releasing “Selling England by the Pound” & “Spectral Mornings: Live at Hammersmith,” a live recording of 2019’s hugely successful tour celebrating that Genesis classic together with the 40th anniversary of one of his most-loved solo albums. Lockdown also gave Hackett the opportunity to write and record two new studio albums, the UK Classical Chart hit “Under A Mediterranean Sky” and the forthcoming “Surrender of Silence.”
In 2021, Steve and his band returned to touring, celebrating the classic Genesis live album “Second Out,” on what was one of his most successful tours to date.
