Hodgson continued touring, often playing alone, and frequently joined by his band or a full orchestra. He took part in the Night of the Proms concert series in Belgium and Germany in late 2004, as well as the rock festival Bospop in 2005 with return performances in 2011, 2013 and 2017. On 30 November 2005, he held his first concert in England for over twenty years, at Shepherd's Bush, London. While the performance was filmed and scheduled for a DVD release, the plan was scrapped. Instead, the concert recorded at the Place Des Arts in Montreal, Canada on 6June 2006 was his first DVD, released on 22 August 2006, entitled "Take the Long Way Home—Live in Montreal". In October 2006, the DVD was certified multi-platinum by the CRIA (Canadian Recording Industry Association).
