Hey there, time traveller!

Former Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett will turn back the clock to 1974 when he performs the band’s classic album Selling England By the Pound at the Burton Cummings Theatre on March 1.
Tickets go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. at livenation.com and range in price from $39.50 to $107.50 plus fees.
Selling England By the Pound is considered by many to be Genesis’s finest album, and included the original lineup of singer Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins on drums, Tony Banks on keyboards and Mike Rutherford on guitar and bass. The album helped launch the group in North America, and it went platinum in Canada, meaning at least 100,000 units sold, and went gold in the U.S. (500,000 units sold).
Hackett, 69, left Genesis in 1977 and launched a lengthy solo career, which includes his 2019 album At the Edge of Light. The 2019 tour also will mark the 40th anniversary of Hackett’s solo work, Spectral Mornings.
