Hi there, Steve Hackett here.
Today I'm talking about Cinema Show.
And of course, yes, you've seen the mug [A#m] with the famous picture on the Betty Spawnick picture,
which is my favourite album cover of [C] Genesis.
And very, very beautiful, very lovely, very English.
Yeah, Cinema Show, a lot of people have asked about that and [B] it's history, it's progeny.
I have to say that [E] when it was originally put together, it was linked to Dancing With The Moonlit [A] Night.
We had a very contentious meeting about this at the time.
I remember Phil saying, well, if there's a 12-string passage in something,
does it [D] mean that every [A] long song has to have a 12-string passage [F#] in it?
And there were some crestfallen faces, so we [A] started to do some long songs
that didn't have 12-string passages in, [A] but, you know, it's a very beautiful combination, I think,
of 12 strings and keyboards, [Dm] so the [A] famous melody.
Of course, in a [D] way, [A] it always deserves to be [F#] heard [D] live to get the full impact of [A] this.
[D] Last time I did it with my band, [E] Virtue [A] Raised The Roof,
I've never heard anything [A] so loud in my life.
[D] The bass pedals were enough to bring the ceiling down.
And those famous Mellotron voices, of course, we'd just acquired [Dm] [A] the Mellotron voices.
I'd pushed the band into getting a Mellotron way back in the day,
and of [C] course we bought our original one off of [A] King Crimson,
but the [B] Mellotron voices hadn't really been [E] invented at that point.
I remember Mellotronics said to us, there's some very interesting stuff you might like to come down and [F] hear,
and Tony Banks and I went [Em] down to listen to their latest stuff,
[A] and it was male and female voices [Em] mixed, and you could get them separately if you wanted,
[A] so, you know, of course we opted to have the full [Em] whack of them all [F#m] together.
I think, you know, in a way, it's [G]
a very beautiful song, very [A] romantic,
but I think the cinematic effect, the soundtrack [Em] effect, really comes from the instrumental stuff,
and [F#]
Tony's extraordinary keyboard work on this.
But once again, we have to [G] fade out to memory.
[C#] Thank you everybody.
[N]
