What all the RUclips critics here failed to see in these videos is the audience. Thousands of fans all singing, eyes closed, fists in the air, air drumming, air guitar strumming, air keyboarding. Not one person there in that audience cared if Phil was seated, or if he was a bit off key or even if he missed a line here or there. Hell, i dont think anyone even noticed! We were so caught up in the nostalgia and swept in the happy endorphins released with hearing our favorite songs played live one last time for us to enjoy, and enjoy it we did! So go ahead and pity, critcize and say what you will. The true fans who were in the audience know what you dont, this tour seriously kicked ass!!!!
I so totally agree with you!!! I’m so glad I got to see them one last time. Wish they would release a concert dvd. Most of these phone recordings don’t do it justice. Best band ever!!!
I was at one of those final gigs at the O2. I first saw them live in 1969 in the back room of a pub in Godalming, before either Collins or Hackett were in the band. The band were fantastic at the O2, but Phil was dreadful. I didn't leave my critical faculties at the door just because this was the final show of a band I've loved for more than 50 years. It was sad to see Phil as an old man, a shadow of his former athletic self, and unable to sing properly. In my view they should never have done the tour.
Nic manages to make it sound like he's playing both Chester's and his Dad's parts on Firth of Fifth during the instrumental section. The perfect combination of power and speed.
I've loved Genesis since the 70s and experienced so many emotions watching this. Puts me in mind of Ripples from Trick of the Tail. The old woman looking back at her younger self. Sic transit Gloria, Phil, Mike, Tony, Peter and Steve. You're all angels standing in the sun.
To all the inexperienced RUclips rabble circus peanuts pitying Phil: if/when you get some experience, you'll (hopefully) be able to understand HOW MUCH COURAGE & STRENGTH Phil has to do this. Instead of pity, you should feel admiration and respect - which the French audience very clearly does.
Salut merci pour la vidéo de qualité ! Quelle magnifique chanson :émotion et frissons garantis...talent exceptionnel:papa Phil peut-être fier de son fils Nicolas...QUE DU BONHEUR ! SOUVENIRS SOUVENIRS...BRAVO ET MERCI POUR TOUS CES BONS MOMENTS ! ANNE-MARIE 🤩🤟👋❣🇧🇪
Really says something that no matter how much the rest of Genesis hate Steve Hackett these days, they SURE don't have a problem having new and long term hires ape his solos
Phil Collins è stato un genio della batteria e non solo,per chi non li conoscesse andatevi a sentire i Brandx gruppo di jazz dove Collins suonava la batteria.....da paura
The band is in top form, and very glad Daryl Stuermer is back on guitar, but it's heartbreaking to watch Phil. I remember seeing him do his amazing tambourine shtick in the 70's, and this was the most difficult thing to watch here.
Listening to Phil is a lot easier than listening to Ian Anderson trying to sing Jethro Tull songs. I thought I should have gone to see Genesis one last time but then remembered they come anywhere near the west coast.
@Bill Griffin …I’m not sure how you think that listening to this is any better. Listening to recent Peter Gabriel singing classic Peter Gabriel songs isn’t any easier. Time marches on. It gets us all in the end.
This sounds beautiful. Now that Phil is older, he just reminds me a lot of Jonathon Banks from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. This isn't a put down at all. He just has a similar appearance, and carries himself in the same forceful kind of way.
I can only hope that this money grab was for Phil and his extended family. I am a huge Genesis fan from the beginning and this is heartbreaking to watch. Always the showman/ child actor, he did his best until the end.
Steve Hackett plays the track so much better live in his concerts than Daryl Stuermer who plays too many notes . That being said I saw Genesis at The 02 on the penultimate night of this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it Nik Collins was a revelation and was amazing on drums It’ll be interesting to see how his career progresses now that Genesis have seemingly called it a day due to poor Phil’s ailing health
Nic did the drumming opening of Firth of fifth much better here than Phil did in 2007, much more energy and power, but then again, Phil was getting older by then anyways
Any drummer whos playing a gig-and lets be honest, to him its all covers-does his homework. Nic not only worked hard to get the versions right but incorporated some of the album grooves too. Ive seen tribute bands play and not one of the drummers is anywhere near as correct as Nic was with Genesis.
Stuermer's a fine player, but he's lost the plot with all his extra noodling on Firth. Having just seen Steve, the contrast is enormous. Some things you just leave alone, because they were perfect as originally created. It's like guys that start shredding on Comfortably Numb - leave it alone and just play with some feeling - you don't fu*k with the Mona Lisa. Phil's physical limitations don't bother me, but his inability to stay in the pocket just drives me nuts. I'm glad I didn't go to this tour - it woulda made me sad.
Fully agree on Daryls incessant jazz fusion overplaying of FoF. Then again I love the way he plays on the in the cage medley which is probably more suited to his playing style.
good drummer.....nic.... but I didn't go because chester wasn't there....they could have done a big thing with nic / chester / darryl / peter / steve.... ....so I'll listen to my KNEBWORTH 78 bootleg instead....
One of the five greatest guitar solos of all time and this Stuermer hacks it up. By adding all those extra notes and pitch bends, he loses the soaring grace, he loses the music, he throws away the instrumental's poetry.

Nic does a good job of simplicity and power ...but u all know its the extra jazzy drum rolls that made phil extraordinary

It's Coming@@margaret1321
Well said. I was at the last gig. The band who I’ve followed for decades. Just saying goodbye to them was what mattered.
I was at one of those final gigs at the O2. I first saw them live in 1969 in the back room of a pub in Godalming, before either Collins or Hackett were in the band. The band were fantastic at the O2, but Phil was dreadful. I didn't leave my critical faculties at the door just because this was the final show of a band I've loved for more than 50 years.

@@sevlew sorry you didn’t enjoy it. As I said I just wanted to say goodbye to my favourite group who I’d been with since 76.

Yes..shining star *

I can't imagine what Phil must be thinking when he listens to the great drumming of his son, Nic!
Best part is watching Phil, watching Nic. So grateful I got to see this tour.
Seeing Phil in his chair brings me tears 😭 Banzaï Phil ❤
I know every note, every drumbeat, and I have for 50 years now. 🎶❤️🥰🎤🇨🇦🎵
Geez...... Nic is a fantastic drummer..... just superb in style and technique....... he's got a hell of a future.
Phil, I still love you and Genesis too, although this breaks my heart...❤❤❤
Makes me cry...
Me too..

The whole world will love you always Father and Son!!!
Great, he is really good, surpised !! I mean Phil's son !
seeing phil watching his boy drumming his song 😇🥺🥺🥺

Brilliant..... ty trading, saw them in DC n philly... my favorite ever xo
Maria❤️Montreal
excellent view here.
I quit going to see these guys back in 1977 but I have to respect all the they have accomplished.
Phil Collins è stato un genio della batteria e non solo,per chi non li conoscesse andatevi a sentire i Brandx gruppo di jazz dove Collins suonava la batteria.....da paura
A mi que no me jodas, subirse al escenario en ese estado y con la vida resuelta solo significa una cosa. RESPETO A SUS FANS y eso amigos lo es TODO.
The band is in top form, and very glad Daryl Stuermer is back on guitar, but it's heartbreaking to watch Phil. I remember seeing him do his amazing tambourine shtick in the 70's, and this was the most difficult thing to watch here.
We love you Phil..We love you all..
Merci pour la video d exellente qualité .
Muitas felicidades suas canções ficaram em nossos corações te amamos !!😍😍😍
Remember Palais des Sports, Paris... 1976 : I was there ! Idem "Seconds Out"...
1977 W&W Tour

Muito lindo ver o Phil Collins ativo. Lindo lindo amooooo
IMPRESIONANTEMENTE GENIOS
Sad to watch Phil, but at least he has his son to carry on..
This sounds beautiful. Now that Phil is older, he just reminds me a lot of Jonathon Banks from Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. This isn't a put down at all. He just has a similar appearance, and carries himself in the same forceful kind of way.

i was shocked to see the drummer was hes son ! nice job to, as good as phil did it, clearly hes a natural like hes dad. the boys got it. 😛
Phil's lad NAILED it!!
Amo a Phill Collins, no importa como este sigue siendo un grande. Te quiero cuidar y tu enfermera!
Steve Hackett plays the track so much better live in his concerts than Daryl Stuermer who plays too many notes .
That being said I saw Genesis at The 02 on the penultimate night of this tour and thoroughly enjoyed it
Nik Collins was a revelation and was amazing on drums
It’ll be interesting to see how his career progresses now that Genesis have seemingly called it a day due to poor Phil’s ailing health
Yes he does but his alleged vocalist Nad Is bloody awful
Yes when steve plays it it it makes your hair on your arms stand up i think daryl knows it steves solo
Grandi del roch mondiale
Nic did the drumming opening of Firth of fifth much better here than Phil did in 2007, much more energy and power, but then again, Phil was getting older by then anyways
🤗💛🎼
Phil didnt use any props..he kept it real and organic...true blue
ドラマーの彼は、フィルよりチェスター・トンプソンっぽいかな
Daryl Stuermer manages to f up the Hackett parts every time.
He’s a really wonderful player, but he overplays this solo. It’s just overcooked. Hackett’s genius was his restraint.
Go ahead and put your version out there for the world to critique.
I prefer Daryl Stuermer playing ...😅
Sure do miss that Steve Hackett guitar solo. No One can ever come close to Steve.
Any drummer whos playing a gig-and lets be honest, to him its all covers-does his homework.
Nic not only worked hard to get the versions right but incorporated some of the album grooves too. Ive seen tribute bands play and not one of the drummers is anywhere near as correct as Nic was with Genesis.
💛
I Know What I Like evolved out of a Steve Hacjkett Riff/Jam
Ya que hablaran las personas con habla esa guitarra😊😊❤️
Amazing
Nice nice
Huge fan of genesis since more than 40 years but seeing this breaks my heart, sorry. Last good time was 2007 reunion tour.
Oh no Daryl…. Sighs.
Stuermer's a fine player, but he's lost the plot with all his extra noodling on Firth. Having just seen Steve, the contrast is enormous. Some things you just leave alone, because they were perfect as originally created.

good drummer.....nic....
but I didn't go because chester wasn't there....they could have done a big thing with nic / chester / darryl / peter / steve....
....so I'll listen to my KNEBWORTH 78 bootleg instead....
Poor phil :(
One of the five greatest guitar solos of all time and this Stuermer hacks it up. By adding all those extra notes and pitch bends, he loses the soaring grace, he loses the music, he throws away the instrumental's poetry.
Perfectly put. Less is sometimes more. Watch Hackett for proof.
Just…..sad.
Is it me or is there WAY too much Reverb on the Drums...especially the kick drum
It’s been recorded on a phone fella. 😂
c'est plus ce que c'était GENESIS, il y a un moment faut savoir s'arrêter
Being very personal about this, but why Phil? I think it's very cheap of you. Be a Producer of it. And sing a song here and there.
Great drums, terrible guitar solo.
