Hate to burst your bubble but the honest truth is that is a $140 Fender Squier Bullet Strat. It is confirmed by Rutherford's guitar tech that among the higher end guitars Mike is playing on this tour the Squier Bullet is his favorite. Sorry dude.
@@jreagle58 Yeah, I was just reading that Rutherford likes the two he bought last year so much that his guitar tech went out and bought two more, and they've become his main touring guitars. I just looked on the Sweetwater gear website and they were selling ones identical to the one he's playing in this video for $189.00. I love that he's proving that it isn't about the cost of the gear. It's about the person playing the gear.
@@epicmeade there are great players on YT demoing cheap guitars in spades. It's the player, not the guitar. A guitar is only ad good as the player's whose hands are on it. If you suck on a cheap guitar (like me) you suck on an expensive one.
Keep in mind as you watch Phil, that he joined the band when he was19, then was fronting the band six years later, 45 years later he still doing it , in a slightly different way. Mad respect to a genuine rock legend.
@@painkiller1968 It seems looses is ever more a common place these days, more and more people use it and I dread the day that they actually add it to the dictionary as an official way of spelling it just because enough people doing so has warranted its inclusion.
Words popularly used for a different meaning such as "terrific" find their way into some dictionaries over time. Or words/terms mispronounced such as "short-lived" (derived from the noun "life" not the verb "live") show a first and second pronunciation. Plain spelling errors shouldn't. I find "lose" and "definitely" strangely to be misspelled often.
Huge respect . Had tears in my eyes watching this. Phil is a total gentlemen and warrior. He wrote in his own hand some thirty years ago, in reply to a letter from my son who was twelve at the time. No other superstar would bother with that. Also subsequently sent us guest passes for us to see Genesis at Knebworth, and we were just genuine fans chancing our luck a bit. I remember talking to Liza Goddard, actress and former wife of Alvin Stardust, (apparently she was a friend of Mike’s wife), but the view from the guest enclosure was not good, and I had to stand on a chair to tell her Phil had his best jeans and T shirt on. Unlimited free beer though. God bless Phil, may you go on forever
though I can't argue with what you say and I totally agree, I had tears in MY eyes as well 😢 imagining myself paying what they're charging for the tickets ! 🤨🤨🤨 🥂 PROPS to MATT & TREY ! [BLEEP] these guys 🤢🤢🤮
That is all well and good that he responded to an individual fan but there is simply no excuse for a man of his wealth to be charging these prices to all of the people. As Tom Petty once said, "These high ticket prices are unnecessary. I do very well charging $40 a ticket."
@@Better_Call_Raul I was waiting to see them in the USA, but can’t fathom spending $1500 per ticker. It’s such a shame as I was too young to see them in the earlier years and this is definitely their last tour.
I'm glad and impressed that no matter if they can or cannot stand, jump or run around, artists like Phil and all the others, regardless of age, are STILL out there putting the music first! Unbelievable!!! 👍👍
It's amazing what an artist is able to do for his fans. Inadmissible to speak ill of a superstar who lives and would die for who without his fans he would not exist. Long live Phil and Genesis. Respect.
We were there on that night at Birmingham Utilita Even now 2 years later it still brings emotion that i got to see one of the greatest performs we have been graced with live on stage Whilest we are all aware of the fact time and age has now taken a hold , you could still hear the energy being sang that has captivated me for years God bless you Phil
Be sure to check out the full show: ua-cam.com/video/ShO7hrHNl9I/v-deo.html And I cried in my hotel room before the show cause I thought I'd never see them again. :) And please subscribe!
Huge respect for Phil for his courage, knowing that he no longer ha the voices or the physical abilities that made him one of the great frontmen of his time. More than ever he has to rely on his band mates and the quality of the songs to provide the magic. And boy, does this music hold up well!
His voice sounds fantastic. He still performing them in the original key that they recorded the stuff and 30 and 40 years ago. That’s fucking hard. I just turned 40 and it’s hard for me to saying stuff that I recorded when I was 30 so I applaud the man. It would be easier for him to saying if they lowered the key but he has stated he doesn’t want to do that until he absolutely has to. he has been working with Greg Kurstin on a brand new solo record, Phil’s first in almost 20 years And he sounds fantastic
My heart aches for his physical Situation and is filled with joy and pride that he isn't giving up and laying it down. If the man has to sit and perform, that's perfectly fine with me. God bless him..
Gotta say I was not expecting this to be that good. I mean yes you can hear the oldness in his voice but you can still here that power he his voice has. Still got it Phil.
God bless you Phil Collins. At 70, I have followed your music for decades. I am envious of you as you will go to the end doing what you love, while I will just get older. Thankyou for the joy your music brings me, and your inspiration.
I saw Phil in 2019, had so much fun, everyone in the room had the best time. He has a beautiful and powerful voice and the whole band is out of this world. Really hope to see Genesis on tour !
Good on ya Phil and Co....amazing to see that your still making the crowds happy despite your problems, still a great rendition of one of my favourite songs! God bless you and thank you for giving us so many timless classics.
Thankyou for posting this. Phil may be frail but wow he still has it and the whole of Genesis so brilliant and also not forgetting Nicolas Collins on drums 💙
He's frail and not looking his best but God bless him, he's a warrior. Phil is a top tier act like Freddie, Prince, George, Elton etc. There aren't many.
A warrior, fighting til the end. Remember Lemmy doing the same thing? Weak and weary, hardly standing up under the weight of his bass, nearly falling down between songs but battling on until he died. How Phil does the same thing. It's the matter of dispute what people prefer: to know when to call it s day or to fight until the bitter end.
We are going to lose so many of these great musicians and personalities in the coming years. And there aren't many to replace them. So, it is so great to see Phil, Mike, and Tony performing these classics. Even if an incredible talent like Phil is in decline. Much respect to this band and these musicians.
I mean… What state? He sounds fantastic he just can’t drum anymore because of the nerve damage in his back. That’s also why he can’t stand for the duration of a three hour show. Other than that he’s still a fucking bad ass. working on a brand new record for next year, his first in almost 20 years
Good to hear Phil sing like he always used to, despite his poor health. And who cares if he sits down instead of moving around the stage. And his son does a marvelous job too.
I’ve been following Genesis and Phil’s solo career since the mid 80’s and kudos to them for getting out there and performing. Of course Phil doesn’t sound like he used to, but I challenge anyone of his age and medical issues to be able to perform at all. Love you guys!!! ❤️
the man is an artist. why take away his right to perform. if people are buying tickets, let them enjoy how the music makes them feel. critics do not create.
What a bunch of nonsense. Nobody is trying to keep Genesis from touring However, keep in my mind, they are not touring out of the kindness of their hearts. People have to buy tickets to attend. In my opinion, without Gabriel and Hackett, this is not the version of Genesis I want to see. Not only is Phil Collins incapable of playing the drums, he can't even perform standing up. I am not intetested in paying to see Collins sitting in a chair either.
One of the bands that helped build the foundations of my love for music from a young age but I have never seen live. Tonight, 25/09, they play Manchester but due to bad health, I miss my final chance to see them. This is why I appreciate videos like this.
I saw GENESIS twice in the early 80's, and saw Phil Collins on his own...and going to see him in NOV in Chicago - surprised my girl with (really good) tickets. Looking forward to seeing them, for this last time. Thank you, GENESIS, for decades of quality music !
Thank you Genesis for the Final Tour. It gives everyone on both sides the chance to say goodbye and remember it forever. Many tears are shed. Genesis has always been 1st class and remained that way to the very last note played! God Bless You! 😢
Only stop when you want to Phil! Thanks for putting the effort forth for us fans and yourself. I pray to God for health rejuvenation for you! Thanks for pushing it for us which gives us encouragement to continue on with whatever is going on in our lives that is challenging to the point of giving up. Never give up! Easier said than done but you gotta push! You're an inspiration!
A legend showing to the world the determination, the commitment towards his audiences and creating everlasting memories. With time we will look back and remember him for all the greatness that he created since the 80’s. He walked into the industry when it was tuff and heavy metals were ruling the world despite he created an audience and the rest is history. Full respect to him and his band. 👏👏👏
My eternal gratitude to these monsters of contemporary music. It would be beautiful if they made a small set together with: Peter and Steve on the one hand and with Chester on the other. And finally a set all together. Dreaming costs nothing ............... Thanks to all who keep us informed at the moment of everything that happens. Big salute
It's really hard to see what age has done to Phil. Really, really tough. I grew up with Genesis and Phil's music and loved it. I'm glad they're still getting out there and I hope this tour is everything they want it to be. I hope it's a great experience for them and I hope it brings them as much happiness as their music has done for all of us over the decades. They deserve that.
This was fantastic that they're doing this tour. Phil's voice is still perfect and he is passionate about music and his fans. Great to see him going and his supportive son
Awesome bloody awesome... I was there on Wednesday, Genesis are still one of the best bands to see live. Yes Phil is on a chair without his drum kit but has still got that unmistakable fantastic voice. Nick was brilliant on the drums, sounded to me like Phil did 30 years ago! Can’t believe I’m still going to see Genesis, live on stage after all these years 👍🏻 long may it continue 👍🏻🏴🎸
Great performance and brilliant video that realy does portray these times, the toilet rolls and masks in the accompanying are very significant and sum up the madness of today.
Saw them in Manchester this weekend and despite Phil not being on the same level as years ago, it was totally worth it. They played perfect, vibes were great.
I'm so glad that Genesis are on tour again. I wish them well. This tour will surely re-energise Phil Collins. He has a great spirit and sense of humour. Great audience too. Thank you Genesis and I take a bow to Phil Collins. :-)
Saw Genesis 3 times, LAMB back in, what was it, '74 or '75 with Peter G, and twice in the 80's. Yea, time catches up with all of us, but the music is immortal. Rock on Genesis!
Yep. Saw The Lamb in January of 75 at The Shrine Auditorium in LA, Wind And Weathering 77 and the last time in 80. The band was never the same after PG and SH left. I think it's great that they're still making a go of it but for me, the "magic" left.
I saw in 1984-85 the mama tour and again in 87 invisible touch tour good to hear he still has his chops. Myself I feel like a relic from another time I’m 54 now!
They sound amazing - gosh I wish I lived in the USA or the UK… what I’d give to see this. Glad they’re doing what they love one last time. Phil did a great job.
Respect for Phil , this tour is incredible courageous! Tanks your for all your staff, I love Genesis since my 12' years old. Your band is élégant, inventive incredible sound . Please Phil, take Care about you.
I'm happy to see Phil has the strength to go out perform. He sounds good, especially for the age of the band. Look at some of the other classic rock bands. (it's so hard calling the music I grew up on as Classic) I would have been happy to have paid for a ticket to this tour, would've been really happy. Just one thing, get him a better chair, doesn't need to be a throne. Maybe mix them up. A nice leather smoking chair for the ballads and a barstool for the rockers.
It appears to be the same chair he had when I saw the solo tour in 2019. That one fell over at one point and Phil took a tumble. There was a collective gasp from the crowd.
The problem with the chair is that it’s much more difficult to sing in a sitting position. So I presume the chair Phil uses also was chosen from that point of view.
i dont agree. i shouldnt have watched this. im also into reggae music saw a clip of Burning Spear from last year 78 years old still rocking and jumping
Thanks for posting. While it's obviously great to seem them up there on that stage again, i've always had mixed feelings about this tour, same as i had mix feelings about Phil's tour... I love Phil, always have since the 80's. I understand why he is doing it, but anyone can see he is nowhere being "the same Phil" anymore... Neither it's "the same Genesis" anymore. Part of me want's to like this and support and encourage him, but the music fan and musician part of me is in pain watching him perform, while not as bad as people are saying, to think back and remember Phil and how he was on stage singing and on the drums, part of me just feels like crying.... Still remember the Mama tour, Invisible touch tour, and then Phil's solo Serious '90 tour (epic)... remember being blown out of the water seeing him playing on that tour, Hand in Hand, The West Side, In the Air... The pocket and finesse in his playing was off the wall... And now just seeing him sitting there... man, it's hard to take... But i really wish all the best to the Tour, honest...
Agree Conan. I'd actually take it a step further. It was pretty amazing to see all the positive and supportive comments. It's like I'm looking at a very different video. I have known nothing of Phil for years. I'm not a huge fan, but listened to him big time in the 80s. Who didn't. Like David Lee Roth, whom I adored back 'in the day', Phil is very difficult to watch. Cringe-worthy, at least. I've listened to several of his songs from this evening and consider him performing as a 'rip-off' had I bought tickets. Rock and roll is fading dismally and nothing is replacing it. That is sad for me. I hate to see it go. That said, like myself, folks get old and have to face up to certain things. Rock stars are no exception. Frank Marino recently called it quits in a very public statement. It broke my heart, but, I'll remember him very differently than Phil.
Kay Bee I did have a Ticket for the gig in Manchester but I decided to let it go. Watching Phil in rehearsals shocked me and confirmed I'd made the correct decision. Genesis have been a big part of my life since around 1975, as have many of the prog rock bands, but seeing this is so sad, despite people giving it the thumbs up. There comes a time in everyone's working career when things start to go pear shaped. 2007 was the last Genesis gig for me, clearly this tour will come nowhere near those levels, and why would they, its 13 years on! Genesis tribute bands still create the sounds and eras of music I like so that's ok for me.
Im watching and listening to his songs since when i was in high school i was 15 years old at that time and now im already 30 but PHIL STILL ROCK THE STAGE "HUGE RESPECT TO YOU PHIL COLLINS" GOD BLESS YOU
Absolute legends and I don't use that term loosely. Damn illnesses and old age. Thank you guys for the entertainment and music and a special thank you for the person posting this video.
Despite the criticism he still sounds allot better than allot of acts live some that sell out and haven’t been around nearly as long as them. No one ever seems to badmouth Axl Rose and he sounds painful.
From what I had been hearing I expected a lot worse. Still sounds good to me. His voice may not be as strong as it once was but better than most of his peers these days.
Given everything he’s been through, he still sounds like Phil, and that’s all we need. Anyone that’s seen the likes of Whitesnake live lately will know how much better Phil’s voice has held out than his contemporaries!
I saw them in Leeds shortly after this, and they were totally outstanding- knocked it right out of the part, Phil's son an incredible and talented power drummer. Nice positive vibe between the guys onstage, even saw Tony Banks crack a big smile (not usually demonstrative in public!) and quite.moving to watch them help Phil off stage at the end. Though he's very immobile he had some great joshing with the crowd and I recommend going to see them live whilst you can!!!! Awesome show! Everyone was buzzing about the Birmingham show too as half the crowd had been there too!
All the comments about Phil, and I agree he was better than I thought.. but someone needs to give a shout-out to everyone else still knocking it out of the park too. Miss Chester though…
I’m no fan of modern music but Phil’s pitch and tone is so bad now. If he was singing at the end of my garden I’d shut the curtains. I certainly wouldn’t pay to see him.
@@prook2001 I get where you're coming from. Yes, Phil isn't able to sing, play and perform as he did in his heyday. No one could deny that but he was a giant of exceptional talent if that is an undertatement. I prefer to remember his greatness but I think this tour is not asking us to. It is saying goodbye and employing Nic on drums instead of Chester sad it may be is highly symbolic of handing the reigns on to another generation. I would imagine had Phil been in perfect health we could all live in his past glory but he is not. A true die hard Genesis fan like me recognises that his life now imitates his art, he is embodying the struggles he sang about. I would pay to see him try where others fear to tread. Thanks.
@@gregharrison5479 I’ll stick with my memories of seeing them several times across their heydays. Watching this anymore than to see what I just have would detract from the Genesis legacy in my eyes. Each to their own. I’ll hold the last time I saw them as my goodbye.
To my ear, his voice sounds strong and clear. It is sad that his body has taken such a beating. However, his son is kicking ass on the drum kit!!! Impressive!!! Not missing a beat! If this is his level of performance, 5 stars!!
"I remember long ago, When the sun was shining And the stars were bright, All through the night, And the sound of your laughter, As I held you tight So long ago"
So happy to to see Mike, Phil, Tony ,Mini-Phil and the other gents here who help keep it sounding great!! I hope to sese you live swoon in the US guys !! In the mean time ..a strange phenomena has occurred. Spotify has been put on standby, The turntable needle has been cleaned and weighted properly ... and my Vinyl Genesis records are again filling the house with your great music!
Awesome Phil , you're a fighter and a great show men. Seen you then and your still doing your best Now, kudos. The world is sick and you make it feel a lot better you go for it .
Mike Rutherford playing a late 90’s or so Clapton signature strat. Awesome. Legit guitarist paying homage to another legit guitarist.

I am not intetested in paying to see Collins sitting in a chair either.
One of the bands that helped build the foundations of my love for music from a young age but I have never seen live. Tonight, 25/09, they play Manchester but due to bad health, I miss my final chance to see them. This is why I appreciate videos like this.
I saw GENESIS twice in the early 80's, and saw Phil Collins on his own...and going to see him in NOV in Chicago - surprised my girl with (really good) tickets.
Looking forward to seeing them, for this last time.
Thank you, GENESIS, for decades of quality music !
Thank you Genesis for the Final Tour. It gives everyone on both sides the chance to say goodbye and remember it forever. Many tears are shed.
Genesis has always been 1st class and remained that way to the very last note played!
God Bless You! 😢
Only stop when you want to Phil! Thanks for putting the effort forth for us fans and yourself. I pray to God for health rejuvenation for you! Thanks for pushing it for us which gives us encouragement to continue on with whatever is going on in our lives that is challenging to the point of giving up. Never give up! Easier said than done but you gotta push! You're an inspiration!
A legend showing to the world the determination, the commitment towards his audiences and creating everlasting memories. With time we will look back and remember him for all the greatness that he created since the 80’s. He walked into the industry when it was tuff and heavy metals were ruling the world despite he created an audience and the rest is history. Full respect to him and his band. 👏👏👏
My eternal gratitude to these monsters of contemporary music.
It would be beautiful if they made a small set together with:
Peter and Steve on the one hand and with Chester on the other.
And finally a set all together.
Dreaming costs nothing ...............
Thanks to all who keep us informed at the moment of everything that happens.
Big salute
It's really hard to see what age has done to Phil. Really, really tough. I grew up with Genesis and Phil's music and loved it. I'm glad they're still getting out there and I hope this tour is everything they want it to be. I hope it's a great experience for them and I hope it brings them as much happiness as their music has done for all of us over the decades. They deserve that.
This was fantastic that they're doing this tour. Phil's voice is still perfect and he is passionate about music and his fans. Great to see him going and his supportive son
I love Phill. It doesn'tmatter if is sitting, his poor health doesn't allow him to do more. Is a warrior. And his son on the drummers is quite good.
Quite!!!!!!!!!!!
Szacunek mistrzu... Dużo zdrowia i sił na tą trasę. Nicolasowi świetnie idzie... Zajebiście młody gra💪💪💪 tej piosenki mógłbym w kółko sluchac
I'm going to see them in Detroit in November, can't wait.
Fingers crossed they come here in Buffalo in November as well I just hope his health holds up
@@Davidjon1946 And COVID doesn't bucket kick the tour.
Awesome bloody awesome... I was there on Wednesday, Genesis are still one of the best bands to see live. Yes Phil is on a chair without his drum kit but has still got that unmistakable fantastic voice. Nick was brilliant on the drums, sounded to me like Phil did 30 years ago! Can’t believe I’m still going to see Genesis, live on stage after all these years 👍🏻 long may it continue 👍🏻🏴🎸
Great performance and brilliant video that realy does portray these times, the toilet rolls and masks in the accompanying are very significant and sum up the madness of today.
Saw them in Manchester this weekend and despite Phil not being on the same level as years ago, it was totally worth it. They played perfect, vibes were great.
Dear Phil ,You Will be the BEST ever Génesis live!!!
Phil sounds great on this one! Oh man I can’t wait until December!
Listening to Genesis & Phil Collins is like entering an enchanted forest full of sounds and colors ! Love 💕 you deeply.
I'm so glad that Genesis are on tour again. I wish them well. This tour will surely re-energise Phil Collins. He has a great spirit and sense of humour. Great audience too. Thank you Genesis and I take a bow to Phil Collins. :-)
Good to you phill we made through the decades many have fallen ...the younger ones will appreciate our age...when they get here.🙂
Saw Genesis 3 times, LAMB back in, what was it, '74 or '75 with Peter G, and twice in the 80's. Yea, time catches up with all of us, but the music is immortal. Rock on Genesis!
Yep.
Saw The Lamb in January of 75 at The Shrine Auditorium in LA, Wind And Weathering 77 and the last time in 80. The band was never the same after PG and SH left.
I think it's great that they're still making a go of it but for me, the "magic" left.
I saw in 1984-85 the mama tour and again in 87 invisible touch tour good to hear he still has his chops. Myself I feel like a relic from another time I’m 54 now!
Superb.Also loved the video playing at the back,this song is so appropriate for what's going on in our planet today
They sound amazing - gosh I wish I lived in the USA or the UK… what I’d give to see this. Glad they’re doing what they love one last time. Phil did a great job.
Or here in Canada...
Respect for Phil , this tour is incredible courageous! Tanks your for all your staff, I love Genesis since my 12' years old. Your band is élégant, inventive incredible sound . Please Phil, take Care about you.
I'm happy to see Phil has the strength to go out perform. He sounds good, especially for the age of the band. Look at some of the other classic rock bands. (it's so hard calling the music I grew up on as Classic) I would have been happy to have paid for a ticket to this tour, would've been really happy.
Just one thing, get him a better chair, doesn't need to be a throne. Maybe mix them up. A nice leather smoking chair for the ballads and a barstool for the rockers.
better some wheelchair throne who he can move around the stage.
It appears to be the same chair he had when I saw the solo tour in 2019. That one fell over at one point and Phil took a tumble. There was a collective gasp from the crowd.
The problem with the chair is that it’s much more difficult to sing in a sitting position. So I presume the chair Phil uses also was chosen from that point of view.
i dont agree. i shouldnt have watched this. im also into reggae music saw a clip of Burning Spear from last year 78 years old still rocking and jumping
Pink Floyd can't even reconcile as 70 years olds.
No one wants a decrease in physical condition like that.. including Phil Collins.
Wish I could of went to this concert😇🥰🥰🥰🥰 I love you Phil Collens & Genesis
We love you Phil. Its been a great ride.
Thank you !
Amazing !!! This is real love for music and for life.
Thanks for posting.
While it's obviously great to seem them up there on that stage again, i've always had mixed feelings about this tour, same as i had mix feelings about Phil's tour...
I love Phil, always have since the 80's. I understand why he is doing it, but anyone can see he is nowhere being "the same Phil" anymore... Neither it's "the same Genesis" anymore. Part of me want's to like this and support and encourage him, but the music fan and musician part of me is in pain watching him perform, while not as bad as people are saying, to think back and remember Phil and how he was on stage singing and on the drums, part of me just feels like crying.... Still remember the Mama tour, Invisible touch tour, and then Phil's solo Serious '90 tour (epic)... remember being blown out of the water seeing him playing on that tour, Hand in Hand, The West Side, In the Air... The pocket and finesse in his playing was off the wall... And now just seeing him sitting there... man, it's hard to take... But i really wish all the best to the Tour, honest...
Agree Conan. I'd actually take it a step further. It was pretty amazing to see all the positive and supportive comments. It's like I'm looking at a very different video. I have known nothing of Phil for years. I'm not a huge fan, but listened to him big time in the 80s. Who didn't. Like David Lee Roth, whom I adored back 'in the day', Phil is very difficult to watch. Cringe-worthy, at least. I've listened to several of his songs from this evening and consider him performing as a 'rip-off' had I bought tickets. Rock and roll is fading dismally and nothing is replacing it. That is sad for me. I hate to see it go. That said, like myself, folks get old and have to face up to certain things. Rock stars are no exception. Frank Marino recently called it quits in a very public statement. It broke my heart, but, I'll remember him very differently than Phil.

I did have a Ticket for the gig in Manchester but I decided to let it go. Watching Phil in rehearsals shocked me and confirmed I'd made the correct decision.
Genesis have been a big part of my life since around 1975, as have many of the prog rock bands, but seeing this is so sad, despite people giving it the thumbs up. There comes a time in everyone's working career when things start to go pear shaped.
2007 was the last Genesis gig for me, clearly this tour will come nowhere near those levels, and why would they, its 13 years on!
Genesis tribute bands still create the sounds and eras of music I like so that's ok for me.
We were very fortunate to see these people and enjoy their music. They will not be replaced
My Fav 70-80’s Artist!!! Love You, Phil!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im watching and listening to his songs since when i was in high school i was 15 years old at that time and now im already 30 but PHIL STILL ROCK THE STAGE "HUGE RESPECT TO YOU PHIL COLLINS" GOD BLESS YOU
Absolute legends and I don't use that term loosely. Damn illnesses and old age. Thank you guys for the entertainment and music and a special thank you for the person posting this video.
Despite the criticism he still sounds allot better than allot of acts live some that sell out and haven’t been around nearly as long as them. No one ever seems to badmouth Axl Rose and he sounds painful.
Jp
From what I had been hearing I expected a lot worse. Still sounds good to me. His voice may not be as strong as it once was but better than most of his peers these days.
Given everything he’s been through, he still sounds like Phil, and that’s all we need. Anyone that’s seen the likes of Whitesnake live lately will know how much better Phil’s voice has held out than his contemporaries!
All I want to say is, Thanks Phil, Long Life and God Bless.......
I saw them in Leeds shortly after this, and they were totally outstanding- knocked it right out of the part, Phil's son an incredible and talented power drummer. Nice positive vibe between the guys onstage, even saw Tony Banks crack a big smile (not usually demonstrative in public!) and quite.moving to watch them help Phil off stage at the end. Though he's very immobile he had some great joshing with the crowd and I recommend going to see them live whilst you can!!!! Awesome show! Everyone was buzzing about the Birmingham show too as half the crowd had been there too!
God bless you Phill ,youre still great and thanks for all the aweesome music you gave and great drummer also.
Exceeded expectations. Love you Phil, always and forever!
Never to old when it comes to music, Phil can still belt them out.
Great stuff. Invisible Touch album was so full of great songs. I love Mike's playing. The silver Strat looks timeless still. Huge respect to Phil.
Phils left leg still plays the Hi-Hat!...thx for uploading! Nice to see, that these guys are still alive!!:-)
Still fabulous. Thank you. From Spain👍👍 xx
They were brilliant the other day in Birmingham, Phil smashed it
All the comments about Phil, and I agree he was better than I thought.. but someone needs to give a shout-out to everyone else still knocking it out of the park too. Miss Chester though…
I miss Chester on drums as well did I hear that Phil’s son is now playing drums on tour with genesis?
@@glennfjenkins2702 Yes, Nick Collins is 20
@@pauli6043 That kid is so amazing what energy he has👍
@@glennfjenkins2702 Look at his dad when he was in his 30's during the 1980's...absolutely amazing
He’s back and jeez he’s still alive
Honestly this version Land Of Confusion- with 2020 and 2021 is THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Really. I favourite this song!
EXCELLENT! A truth speaker, great performer and an amazing personality!
I'd rather see Phil twice over any band in the charts because if they took autotune out of their act Phil would still sound better!
I’m no fan of modern music but Phil’s pitch and tone is so bad now. If he was singing at the end of my garden I’d shut the curtains. I certainly wouldn’t pay to see him.
@@prook2001 I get where you're coming from. Yes, Phil isn't able to sing, play and perform as he did in his heyday. No one could deny that but he was a giant of exceptional talent if that is an undertatement. I prefer to remember his greatness but I think this tour is not asking us to. It is saying goodbye and employing Nic on drums instead of Chester sad it may be is highly symbolic of handing the reigns on to another generation. I would imagine had Phil been in perfect health we could all live in his past glory but he is not. A true die hard Genesis fan like me recognises that his life now imitates his art, he is embodying the struggles he sang about. I would pay to see him try where others fear to tread. Thanks.
@@gregharrison5479 I’ll stick with my memories of seeing them several times across their heydays. Watching this anymore than to see what I just have would detract from the Genesis legacy in my eyes. Each to their own. I’ll hold the last time I saw them as my goodbye.
already have my ticket for Charlotte NC. LOVE LOVE Genesis
All Genesis fans around the world have to thank Phill,Mike,Daryl...to give us the previlege of seing them alive again.Long live Genesis.
To my ear, his voice sounds strong and clear. It is sad that his body has taken such a beating.
However, his son is kicking ass on the drum kit!!! Impressive!!! Not missing a beat! If this is his level of performance, 5 stars!!
"I remember long ago,
When the sun was shining
And the stars were bright,
All through the night,
And the sound of your laughter,
As I held you tight
So long ago"
So happy to to see Mike, Phil, Tony ,Mini-Phil and the other gents here who help keep it sounding great!! I hope to sese you live swoon in the US guys !! In the mean time ..a strange phenomena has occurred. Spotify has been put on standby, The turntable needle has been cleaned and weighted properly ... and my Vinyl Genesis records are again filling the house with your great music!
Thank you very much for uploading this, I appreciated a peek at the band
Awesome Phil ,
you're a fighter and a great show men. Seen you then and your still doing your best Now, kudos. The world is sick and you make it feel a lot better you go for it .
Yep 👍 we have all fallen down then you get back up. Keep on moving! Love ❤️ the drums
This is great. I wish they were doing a longer tour next year in the the US and would hit Portland.
If I ever possess the power of eternal life I'd pass it on to entertainers like you that make my life complete
I miss seeing Chester Thompson behind that drum kit!
I don't see what's to lose to get the classic five (plus Nic) into the studio and see if any songs come out. Now THAT would be a gift to us fans.
This is amazing. Land of Confusion with 2020-2021 visuals. TOILET PAPER!
all my Respect!!!! you still move all kind of emotions with your music... JUST GRAET
