The setlist he performed was variously and beautifully organized as it includes romantic songs, sorrowful ones, national songs, and his most celebrated TV Shows songs such as "Bawabet El Halawany" (The Pastyr's Gate), "El Lail Wi Aa'khroh" (From Night to Dawn), and "Masaa'let Mabdaa'" (Issue of Principles).
The venue was dominated by the audience's greetings when one of the orchestra members started playing the folk rebab and started a short solo as an intro for "El Lail Wi Akhroh" song.
El Haggar's nostalgic strong voice brought many memories to the audience especially through performing the hits he presented early in his career.
