Hackett's also been open about his dissatisfaction- he didn't hang around long- and also that its success (which was considerable, with a big US hit single) allowed him to fund things like his acoustic projects.
Based on the live album, the highlights are when Hackett and Howe play their earlier work. Some of the newer tunes like 'Jekyll And Hyde' are decent.
In light of Hackett's recent comments, I'd like to see them do something new. That AOR market just isn't there anymore as far as getting mainstream radio-play is concerned. So there's not really that much purpose in pursuing it.
