Steve Hackett - There Are Many Sides To The Night (1995)

Steve Hackett live and acoustic, from the Palmero Teatro Metropolitan in December 1994, supported only by keyboards from Julian Colbeck.  Steve's on sparkling form, and in jovial spirits, frequently teasing bits of his old classics (and even tracks from his time in Genesis) before claiming to have forgot them all.  He does open with Horizons, and touches on his earliest solo records (links below) with Kim and a re-arranged Ace Of Wands.  The rest of the set highlights his acoustic records as might be expected, plus a nice bit of Vivaldi, a blues where he drops the guitar in favour of harmonica, and a cover of Andrea Morricone's Cinema Paradiso.

  1. Mister the Name of Morricone was Ennio. Thanks

    1. That's what I'd assumed - then saw the liner notes crediting the tune to "A. Morricone". It appears that father (Ennio) and son (Andrea) worked on the Cinema Paradiso soundtrack together. Presumably that particular piece was composed by Andrea (not my area of expertise though, and the liner notes of the Hackett CD could always be wrong. Maybe someone else can confirm.)
