40 years ago today 10/7/77, Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett left the band for a solo career. Hackett performed on six Genesis studio albums, three live albums and seven singles, all considered their finest work within their most adventurous prog-leaning compositions. Hackett was no longer a member upon the band’s 80s bigger pop success led by Phil Collins. Watch Hackett on guitar for “Los Endos” on the ’76 A Trick of the Trail tour.
