since we are talking about Hackett, may I enthusiastically and heartily recommend that anyone on this forum who calls himself/herself a Genesis fan and does not have Hackett's last amazing DVD, which you do not have listed above---Once Above A Time , recorded in Budapest in 2004, (see this link---http://www.amazon.com/Once-Above-Time-Steve-Hackett/dp/B00069FL9U) get ye online and order NOW! As you can see, he does a lot of Genesis tunes, full electric band, including BLOOD ON THE ROOFTOPS, Firth, Los Endos, Fly on a Windshield and his two best solo tunes, Everyday and Spectral Mornings, among others.
Awesome pristine sound from a fairly small venue, and a great direct no nonsense video. Simply essential.

I have all his DVDs and they are all great--the South American show is also awesome, same setlist as I saw live at Nearfest that same tour.

You will shed tears of joy when you hear his slightly reworked (but still true to form) version of Los Endos.

I have been lucky enough to see Hackett live 3 times in the last 6 years, and he never disappoints---he's still carrying the torch of progressive Genesis, maybe more so than any of the others.
