There's no question, Hodgson's debut "In the eye of the storm" is just about his best ever --- even including his work with Supertramp. There are only seven tracks on it, but every one is a classic. Check my Member's Journal for a review if you're interested.

"Paris" I mention because it was the first time I heard "Fool's overture", and I thought it was absolutely amazing. Also, it contains "You started laughing", which to my knowledge is not on any Supertramp album, and the version of "Crime of the century" that closes it is tremendous.

As far as 70s live albums go, I do have a few, but I would probably put Genesis "Seconds out" at the top, if only for the stunning version of "Supper's ready" and "Firth of Fifth".
