In fact Steve has had a flourishing solo career ever since andcontinues to record and release albums and tour regularly.The bulk of the content on this DVD was taken from a performance filmed on the 8th of November 1978 for German television. The concertrecording was the last date on the hugely successful tour although only the fourteenth concert the band had played so from a historical point of viewthis was right at the start of Steve's solo career and as such captures a moment in time.The band performed a shortened set for the television cameras and it has been mastered in the NTSC format in order that American and Japanesefans may also now enjoy this historical performance.This DVD was originally available as a VHS tape and briefly as a DVD.As an added bonus we have included tracks filmed at the same time as thisperformance but for some reason these tracks were not included in the broadcast. These tracks have now been included and the set nowrepresents the actual running order of the complete performance.Over thirty years on from his departure from Genesis Steve Hackett retains a large and dedicated fan base making this release all the moredesirable.
