Steve Hackett will once again be revisiting his past with Genesis for a North American tour next year but this time he will be playing another one of the band's classic album in full for the first time.

Hackett plans a full album performance of the 1973 Genesis album "Selling England By The Pound " along with other favorites from the iconic group and he celebrate the 40th anniversary of his solo album "Spectral Mornings" by playing songs from that record as well.

He had this to say, "I'm thrilled to be performing the whole of my favourite Genesis album, Selling England By The Pound, which caught the attention of John Lennon in 1973.I felt that I was now playing guitar in the world's best band, and everything was opening up for us...
