Aside from what has already been mentioned, the answer is no. Peter made it a point that his solo music would have a different sound and style of lyrics than his Genesis days...He could have easily put together a Genesis II style group, but didn't....therefore, aside from the occasional "BNYC" in the early days, he has always showcased hos own stuff and never went backwards, not even for nastalgia purposes.

...except for, of course, when he needed the money and the lads agreed to help him out.

True! martinus is speaking of, for anyone here who doesn't know, the one-shot Genesis reunion show that they put on to help alieviate the 200 thousand+ pound debt that Peter was in after the first WOMAD festival in '82. And I guess technically he is correct...but maybe that is a little out of context?...cheers.

Well... Milton Keynes was undoubtedly during Peter's solo career, and it was the one time he did go back to the Genesis stuff in a major way ... and they even dug out Johnathan King to do the introductions (wonder where they got that daft idea from...)

He has performed Back In New York City, and TLLDOB as an encore of his first solo tours!

no, no! I'm not saying that it wasn't during his solo career, by "out of context" I meant - does a genesis reunion show really count? I know the OP left it open to anything played after, well, the last Lamb show, but I was taking it as "what genesis material has PG done live with his solo crews?"
