Wuthering Nights: Live In Birmingham 7/10

- Mercurial guitarist reopens the Genesis Musical Box MARK BENTLEY

1976’s Wind & Wuthering was Hackett’s final album with Phil and co; Wuthering Nights is a 40thcelebr­ation of sorts, documentin­g his first-ever journey into the Genesis back catalogue. Supported by a crack band, the talismanic guitarist revisits “Eleventh Earl Of Mar”, “Afterglow” and “One For The Vine”, and loses himself for a happy 10 minutes in “Firth Of Fifth”. Bolstered by solo favourites, and much of 2017’s well-received The Night Siren, this a well-pitched celebratio­n of former career and current canon. Extras: 7/10. Available as 2CD/DVD package. 199-minute Blu-ray contains behind-scenes doc and promos.
