Good concert, special at times, but could have been better if, in my opinion, they had done fewer of his songs at the beginning and cut the solos and left time for more genesis. Most artists like him do tend to want to play their own post band songs, but it’s kind of a disservice to the audience. The second to last song of the first set had everybody jamming, but then he ruined it and wasted time with some weird song at the end of the set that no one seemed to enjoy. He replicated this error, again in my opinion with a relatively obscure low energy song at the end of the encores, time which could have been used on a better song. was a concert with extreme highs and many unnecessary lows. I’ll give it a high B+.just my two cents.

I thought the last song of the first set was great, as was most of the first set.

@@markreilly7052 yes, There would undoubtedly be like REAL hacket fans who would like it all, maybe some who actually followed his post band career, as well as some people who actually KNOW music, or play instruments, and a few others I’d say, but for many I suspect, they would have preferred him just to split the first set between Nursery Cryme, and selling England. I appreciate your point of view, and am happy for those who were able to enjoy all of it, if I had known all of those other songs, I probably would have been in 7th Heaven! 😆
