    What a brilliant performance and album this is. I'm lucky enough to have it on both vinyl and cd and have listened to it several times since the post man delivered it last month. I'm almost loathe to suggest it but I can't stop wondering if the drums would have been better if Gary O'Toole had been on here instead of the excellent Craig Blundell. Can't have been easy for Blundell to fill the seat that the magnificent O'Toole had occupied for twenty years.

    I am surprised to read any of the criticism aimed at this group of musicians who play these songs without fault. I've seen Genesis many times with their original line-up in the 70s and l can tell you they were also fantastic together. The recorded sound is far better now though, and l think Steve's choice of each of the recent shows musicians including Nad Sylvan is impeccable. What more could you ask. Keep it up for us Steve & co. Thanks

    I went to all Hackett shows last 10 years and I loved it. But against some opinions here, this is certainly not better then the seventies Genesis. During the concerts Nad Sylvan had trouble keeping his tone. In this video its ok, but in the higher regions he always need the step up from a semitone lower. Thats anoying. He is just not a very accomplished singer. And Roger King is a very able keyboardplayer, but compared to Tony Banks its always a bit wooden. Still, I'm happy that Steve is out there, doing this stuff, but lets not kid eachother, its not the real thing. The wind player realy adds some new flourish. I like that.

    A class act. So glad Steve is carrying the torch for Genesis. He has a world class band here. Craig Blundell is one of my favourite drummers too. Magic!

    Great video! First time I've heard the ending played live in a relatively slow tempo. I miss the energy from Phil's drumming, but besided that, splendid.
