It would have been better, if...
First of all, this is the longest DVD of all Hackett's DVD with a running time of 2 hours and 26minutes. So we have a lot of material here, but the DVD contains no extras. The quality of the songs is good from start to finish with 1 song from the "Beyond The Shrouded Horizon", and 5 from the "Out of the Tunnel's" cd. With this latest stuff, we have some favorites old songs and some Genesis tracks, and if i am not mistaken, this is the first time, at least that Hackett played "Carpet Crawlers" on a DVD.

Very Special Show!!
Last night I finally watched the "Fire and Ice" concert DVD by Steve Hackett and his band. I purchased the DVD a month or two ago, but didn't ever get the opportunity to watch it in it's entirety. The DVD was released last February and was out of stock for a while on Amazon. At any rate, this DVD is simply AMAZING! Another high-quality show from Steve! Such an amazing tour!

All the musicians performances were top-notch. It just doesn't get much better than this! Also got to relive many old Genesis songs and moments! Sometimes brought tears to the eyes! Much of the DVD included songs from his then current album "Out Of The Tunnels...
Careful about DVD region
I ordered this DVD new through Amazon (not another seller). The DVD is advertised as Region 1, but I received a Region 0, which means it won't play on DVD players purchased in the US. I'm going to return mine tomorrow.
