After a 2-year hiatus caused by COVID-19, the 2022 Djabe & Steve Hackett tour was revelatory, and the Live in Győr album was released on Blu-ray, 2CD, LP and 2 track master tape formats from its closing stop in Győr. Thanks to the success of the show, the band was invited to the Richter Hall in 2023 once again. The concert program has changed significantly compared to the 2022 set list. The most interesting addition to the program was the song “Carpet Crawlers” by Genesis with the excellent lead vocal of Péter Kaszás. Several recordings of Djabe’s Before album were also included, of which Steve contributed to many compositions. A video and audio recording was also made of this performance, which fans can especially enjoy, because the joint production of Djabe and Steve is getting stronger and forms an increasingly organic unit. According to many, this was the band’s best tour to date.
The producer duo Attila Égerházi – Tamás Barabás selected a 92-minute double LP from the concert program, giving preference to compositions that have not yet been released on previous albums. However, the entire 2-hour concert can be found on the DVD packed as a bonus for this release. The concert film can be listened to in high-resolution 24-bit/48 kHz wav stereo and 24-bit/96 kHz DTS surround sound.
