Such an event took place in December 1996 in Tokyo, when Steve Hackett gathered together a group featuring Wetton, McDonald, Thompson and Colbeck to perform a wonderful set that featured classic tracks such as ‘Watcher of the Skies’, ‘Firth of Fifth’, ‘The Court of the Crimson King’, ‘Shadow of the Hierophant’, ‘Los Endos’ and many more.
