THERE ARE MANY SIDES TO THE NIGHT

With all of the live Hackett product available (CD's and DVD's), it's a daunting task to try to find the best of the lot. This is a fine album, with great sound and an enthusiastic but attentive audience. Colbeck's keyboard work is a plus, and the song selection may be the best of any of the various live releases. There are crescendos to give a much-needed contrast to the quiet passages, so don't dismiss this release as being too mellow. I was pleasantly surprised by this album.
