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.

You can scrub
maybe from your last statement. I was listing albums only not DVDs. I would not exactly describe any thing Gabriel
ever did solo as progressive (category by itself) and the last G'sis progressive nod was probably Abacab (more of a wink than a nod)
. All of the SHackett DVD's are the jewel's of my collection (Hungarian Horizons blows me away too...) along with all the Pink Floyd and PF Solo DVD's and Roxy Music/Ferry. Check out recently released Dylanesque by BF for a treat (if you haven't already).
Long Live Hackett
