Steve Hackett at Ostia



On the 8th of July the British guitarist and songwriter, Steve Hacket made a brilliant performance at the old Roman theatre of Ostia, which is located close to Rome.


I have made myself the gift of listening  Steve Hackett's superb sounding band. They played the most epic songs sung by Peter Gabriel. He also performed some songs from his solo albums, such as Spectral Morning and Voyage of the Acolyte.

Steve hackett gained prominence as the lead guitarist of the progressive rock band Genesis since 1971 to 1977. It seems he still is a guitar genius.

I enjoyed both the progressive rock concert and the beautiful archaelogical site surrounding the old Roman theatre, which was built at the end of the 1st century BC.


Sorry to see that some dumb people stole old bricks from the wall of the old Roman theatre (picture below).

Nice weekend to all the blogging community!

      People who visit archaelogical sites with an hammer in their bags must be prosecuted by penal law.

    Hi Giorgio!
    I'll write briefly today, because I recently returned from a trip and I’m a fallen man (but very happy :) ).
    Giorgio, you wrote about the concert. The performance in such a special place must have been fascinating!
    My friend, I agree with you when talk about these "tourists". They are idiots!
    P.S.
    Giorgio, I will write back to your comment tomorrow, because I don't have the strength today!

      Thank you, Roentare :-)
      That old Roman theatre is smaller than the Colosseum. The former is semicircle shaped. The Colosseum has a circular shape.

    I didn't know that Steve Hackett. started a new career as a soloist with a new band. I'll listen to something on line to understand carefully what you enjoyed to see.

      Hello Daniele, Steve Hackett has released solo albums and has toured worldwide on a regular basis since very long time. In 1975 he released his first solo album while still a member of Genesis.
