People were actually upset about Phil doing these gigs. To me I felt that he knows he is up there in age with health issues and this tour gave him the drive to work. I am proud of him for doing this! I really think he needed this and I am glad he did it!
You could tell Phil was in so much pain I personally don't think he should have done it but give him a lot of credit for doing it but unfortunately not how I want to remember Phil or Genesis and saw them from 1976-2007 and The Turn it on Again Tour in 2007 he was outstanding and what a concert that was. Thanks Phil and Genesis for being a huge part of my life.😎
Phil is a HUGE part of the whole project! If he wanted to do it then it was his given right! I love that it was HIM and not some other guy who would’ve sang it better! The spirit and energy of Phil being present is heart warming!!!!❤️
When I was a young l had no use for Genesis or their radio popish hits. Years later I was relaxing in my yard enjoying a drink and such when I heard "Scenes from a night's dream". Of course that's from And then there were three. I was hooked. I've been a die hard Genesis ever since. Even including "A lamb lies down". Long live one of the 5 best bands ever. God bless you all.
For a lifelong fan this is mind boggling on so many levels. Love these guys so much. Phil pulled it off amazingly. Excellent production overall. We’re going to miss this band, one of the greatest of the rock genre. 😢
Very bittersweet. You can see how much Phil misses playing the drums, and you can also see his pride watching Nick playing the parts that he created. I wish them all the best. I too will always remember them as I saw them back "in the day", and we were very blessed to be able to see them then. Thanks for all of the wonderful music and memories guys!
Thanks Tony, Mike, Phill, Steve, Peter, Chester, Daryl, Anthony, Ray... from the bottom of my heart and soul. Until the last day of my life i´ll listen GENESIS, and I will leave this world grateful for life and music.
With all the comments about whether people want to remember Genesis this way or not, I look at it differently. I saw them 5 times in the late '70s and early '80s and that's how I'll remember them but given the opportunity I would've gone to this show in a heartbeat. Why? Because I think of this tour as a gift for the fans because it's not about age, it's about seeing the original music performed by Genesis one last time. Thank you Genesis for all the great music and fun concerts and thank you Phil Collins for, despite your unfortunate health problems, turning it on again one final time. 🎶
@ Josh S Yeah I'm sure you were talking about my comment and to each their own and you didn't see them in 2007 The Turn it on Again Tour which was one of the best concerts I have ever seen from them and saw them over 75 times from 1976-2007 and that is the Genesis I will remember,I give a lot of credit for Phil doing this tour but you can see how much pain he is in and his voice was very weak so if this is how you want to remember Genesis one last time more power to you,dude.
@@vonnoosh I do and remember the Turn it on Again Tour in 2007 and what a show that was and I'm sure there are tons of people who remember concerts they went to.
Exactly I never got to see Phil or Genesis when they were in their prime, Even from a chair he had command of the audiance , just glad he played that song one more time solo and with Mike and Tony.
@@ezioauditore3128 You're entitled to your opinion, but I disagree. Done? Who determines when a person is done? Many say the same about Paul McCartney, he's done?!🤔 These artists are true 'stars', not like the sh*t passing itself off as real music nowadays!! Most of the music now samples these artists like McCartney and Collins🤩. True Talents🤩. Genius songwriters!! I understand Your opinion, but you are probably not as connected to these guys as I am! They gave me alot of joy, comfort, peace, and attitude through their music, so I can certainly give them a pass on certain parts of their vocal range!! There is still alot of voice in Collins and McCartney🤩 on these recent tours. They both need to do less tours and maybe focus on studio albums, but that's there decision, and they're certainly not done or totally empty, not yet🤨!!
I'm so glad to have been there for the second to last show. For me, the most bittersweet moment was probably hearing them play The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway live.
I saw Genesis from 1976-2007 and my all time favorite band and couldn't bring myself to see or remember Phil and Genesis like this and to me The Turn it on Again Tour in 2007 is how I want to remember Phil jumping and running around, I'm sure I'm going to catch hell for this comment but it's how I feel. God bless Genesis and thank you for your great music and concerts that were a huge part of my life.👍😎🙏
You wont get criticism from me for your comments. I felt similar and it was sad to see the way that time and age had affected Phil. Being there brought it home and was a reminder of our own vulnerability to ill health. I am pleased I did go, but understand your comments.... And such a far cry from those early "Knife" and "nursery cryme" concerts with hats etc!
They’re mine too because I went to see them on October 15 1986 when I was pregnant 🤰 with my 3rd 🥉 child 👦 in Los Angeles California for The Invisible 🫥 Touch Tour
I must have Seen Genesis and Phil solo live at least ten times since 1977. Collins was one of the best drummers. To see him neighter hitting notes nor having strength to sing makes me sad!
I was in Washington DC and there that night, and when Tony Banks played that piano intro to Carpet Crawlers, I bawled hard. Thanks for the decades of amazing music.
well, i discover this video today, tears have fall on my face everytime a song started, i was born in 1970 and i'm glad to have Genesis music in all of my life... we will never have music like this again... Thank you Phil, Mike and Tony (and all the others)
Genesis will forever remain on my playlist and in my heart. Much respect for Phil being on that stage and so nice to see his son carrying on in his fathers footsteps. Bless you guys!
So glad I first saw Genesis at Knebworth in 1978 at their height of their physical and vocal powers. I saw the very last show of all at the O2 London. A bit of a sad swansong to witness, particularly as all songs with lyrics were keyed down to accommodate Phil's weak and laboured vocals.
I had seen Genesis in 87... I was at the last concert in Paris... very emotional. A page turns. We all had tears in our eyes (Google machine translation, sorry I don't speak English well enough)
It was back in '76-'77, when a friend of mine came knocking at my door holding the SEBTP album and as soon I opened the door he goes, "You've got to listen to this shit!" He was paying me back for having introduced him to Yes. Afterward, I went to every record shop looking for every Genesis album I could find and their body of work was simply outstanding. What they did after Gabriel, and after Hackett, was just as spectacular. It is very, very sad to see them come to an end but the legacy they left will live on until the end of the world. I'm so happy to have been there for every bit of it.
Had a chance to hear Selling England by the Pound right when it came out in 73 . Still one of my all time favorite albums . It reminds me of my High School days .
We were moving from NY to Texas it was a three day drive back in 1976 my older brother had just got Wind and Wuthering on 8 track, we listened to it over and over the whole trip, I was hooked since then.
I just find it amazing that Genesis lasted so long...Over 50 years talk about rolling with the punches life gives you. This has and always been my favorite band. I think that they lasted so long was they all got to go out on their own then came back to the magic. my favorite song if I had to pick is "beyond the silver rainbow" and the 100's others they wrote. also because I am from and live in NYC " I want Back in NYC played......I just loved in the early 80's how us students attached ourselves to a band example {Rolling Stones ,the Who.. Led z} to define us. I believe Genesis and Peter touched my soul the next thing that happened the school was listening to Face Value .. 3 sides live and seconds out. John Patrick
3SJL209 - In the absence of a proper official release by the band, THIS is brilliant. Thanks for taking all the time and effort to put all these clips together to make the whole concert !
I second that. I saw them in Newcastle the previous year, (just before one of the crew? got covid), so I count myself lucky. Having seen them through the years, including Phil's solo tours, I wasn't going to miss "one more night" !!
I love you Phill Collins, thank you so much for every songs, feelings and emotions what your had made a long for years!!!!! You are eternal!!! Tanks a lot for Genesis and solo career !!!!!! Kisses from Brazil👏👏👏👏👏🌹
This could have been called the Thanks For the Memories Tour. I think that’s why fans went. Goodbye to a band who played a huge role in their lives. Yeah, it’s sad, but also a real farewell, love you, well done. Poor health and poor finances forced me to miss this. I salute my favorite band. None of us who started loving Genesis are the same 40-50 years later. I love them all, especially Tony, my inspiration as a keyboard player. Thanks for posting this.
For here below these sacred stones of ROCK lie the great lords, the long lost purveyors of stories old, enchanted tales told with lyrical melody, vast stretches of atmospheric harmonies, Orwellian dystopias, fire from their fingertips, all with the grace and majesty of kings. Well done lads.
@@martinpowell5769 I agree it's heartbreaking to listen to Phil now his health is bad now bless him, an amazing musician, been a Phil Collins fan since he joined Genesis much respect to him for doing the shows.
@@reesebrindle1809 Me too!! Great compositions, the best in rock history IMHO. No one reached the same level in a bunch of records from Nursery crime to Wind and wuthering
@@ronjansen2391 I just turned 60 and like a good cigar, nice cold Heineken and Genesis almost every night in my garage and my neighbors even comment on my great taste in music. Saw them from 1976-2007..👍😎
I looked up the meaning of the word 'Epic' and it took me to this video. Fantastic, as a lifelong Genesis fan, this is still great to watch. A fitting sendoff to a legendary band. A superb band that will be sadly missed. Thank you, uploader, for keeping this piece of history for us all to enjoy.
I was there that night: it was an amazing gig, and a real privilege to see my favourite band of all time playing for the last time. I was too young to see Genesis in their heyday, but I grew up loving their music. I was able to take my then 8yr old with me to this gig (it was the first gig she'd ever been too) and she sang along to every song they played. Thank you so much for putting this together. I have loved watching it (and I can't wait to show it to my kids)
Love this- great memories of a spectacular night. Such energy in the venue. PC had become the Musical Box character that PG used to perform 50 years earlier. NC on the kit was ace. MR; TB and DS still playing better than ever.
Well, I became musician because of Genesis. Watching this show drove me into tears! Phil Collins is an amazing drummer and his son replaced him doing a great job, his so gifted as his dad! Thank you Genesis for all the performances delivered to the audience! Thanks, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, Daryl Stuemer, Peter Gabriel, Chester Thompson and Nick Collins! ❤
After 53 years they gave the best they could as always, first of all Phil..oh man i feel so bad seeing him so suffering.. Insane performance of Tony Banks
I see many comments talking about "Not wanting to see them like this"... I think this final tour wasn't about US seeing THEM, but more about them seeing US for one last time. One last chance to show THEM our appreciation for their (collective) contributions to music, and {more personally) for being a part of our life's soundtrack... Gensis are indeed living legends, thank you for the music...
I showed them my appreciation after every concert and was always hoarse for days from singing and cheering and saw them 75 times from 1976-2007 so just because even if it was the last time and it was because they wanted to see US and not US seeing Them it's still not how I want to remember my favorite band and Genesis always will be.
I'll never forget the times listening to Nursery Cryme and Selling England by the Pound at my friend's mansion in Atherton ,CA . For a desperately lonely teenage boy , the music soaked right into me . Thanks Genesis!
Spectacular job 3SJL209, my deepest congratulations from Buenos Aires (Argentina) for allowing us to experience a taste of what was the (I hope not) last night of one of the greatest band of all times, but mostly for letting us feel moved by the love and admiration that Phil inspires, not only as Genesis fans around the world, but also to humanity
Firth of Fifth! One of the most powerful progressive rock tunes ever featuring the extraordinary Daryl Sturmer: one of the world's greatest guitarists!!! Love. Sheer fukin love...
Sad to see Phil so ill, and unable to drum, but we thank him, and this wonderful band who, in its various manifestations, have delighted us for decades.
42 years ago (holy crap!) I saw Genesis at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in '81 during the Abacab tour. My first major venue concert. Where have the years gone?
Thank you for doing this video. It must have taken ages to do, but very worthwhile. I have seen Genesis 20 or more over the past 50 year (yes, 50 years!). I was there that final, Saturday, night. A very sad but fitting farewell.
Genesis A band of amazing talent performing amazing songs. After Genesis bows out, there will be a great big hole in millions of the hearts of best fans ever!
Thank you for putting this film of the last show together, superbly done! It's great to be able to re-live those O2 nights taking me back to the mid seventies when my older brother force fed me Trespass and Nursery Cryme and turning me into the huge Genesis fan that I grew up to be along with the other 5,096 people who have viewed this great piece of film and editing work. Thank you. And thank you Genesis for providing us all with the soundtrack of our lives.
I recently saw an Interview with phil Collins where he talked about the lamb lies down on Broadway Tour. He said:> I smoked a small Stick and than Played it , enjoing myself and that's it
Recibo este último show como lo que es, una despedida, la última vez que vamos a ver a nuestros ídolos reunidos. No buscaba encontrar lo mismo de los años 70 y hecho, se me hizo muy difícil ver a Phil en este estado. Pero rescato sus ganas y su entrega de siempre. Sabemos lo afectado de salud que está y aún estuvo dispuesto a darnos una última vez y ese es el Phil que es responsable junto a Tony, Mike, Steve y Peter de la mitad y más del soundtrack de mi vida. Sí, duele, pero sé que Phil no se arrepiente de haber vivido todo con Génesis como lo hizo... Grande Génesis, eterno Phil Collins por siempre! ❤
Thank you Genesis. You are the soundtrack of my youth until to this day. I grew up with Genesis’ songs. I formed a band tribute to Genesis with high school friends. And watching you guys in DC last year was just like a dreams coming true… I could sing along your tunes with you the original band. Greetings from Indonesia
Fading Lights and Carpet Crawlers were the most powerful moments for me in these shows. So glad they had one more go round! Future is still uncertain! Love you Phil!
I was on all three shows of the final tour in Cologne. The sound in Cologne was fantastic and blew me away and i am happy to find your video showing it too. Thks a lot for your efforts.
Thanks for uploading this. The look on Tony's face as they bowed was hard to take. At a very young age he was aware of the fragility of the music business (Many Too Many, Duchess, etc...), and yet he and his mates made it for over 50 years. Still, the end had to have been hard for him. He's one of the most underrated musicians of all time IMO, and Genesis has been a favorite of mine for a very long time.
All I can say is .....Thank You Phil you gave me some amazing music that whenever I hear it brings me back to some fantastic times in my life. We rarely get to observer so much talent. Your a master musician that will be missed.
Awsome job !!! Broke me to tears (watching Phil so helpless and on the same time his son doing a great job ) A part of a journej is it's end.. :( Thank You so much makin this
I have fond memories of seeing many shows with Genesis and Phil's solo tours. As these musicians age it will be expected health issues will prevent them from touring. Eventually bands from the 1960s and 70s will face this. The Who, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Fleetwood Mac, and others will eventually cease to tour. But they have left us with such great music that will endure for decades.
Saw them 36 yrs ago in Leeds...the power went except for the microphones apparently and Phil filled in the gap with an impromptu stand up routine.... he was brilliant! So glad that I saw this....sad yet such an honourable way to say goodbye.
My ticket was originally for April 2021. Following two cancellations and rearranged dates, I was by fate at this final Last Domino, the Last Show. What a special night and when Phil announced that this was the final Genesis show, an amazing vide exploded round the O2. The Fading Lights was a poignant song but , the semi acoustic Follow You Follow Me , a wonderful memory to begin all the memories of Genesis. Stay With me……. we will Phil, and Tony and Mike. And Darryl, Nic, Chester too.
Shared in honor of Genesis Genesis is an English rock band formed in 1967 at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, by schoolmates Peter Gabriel (vocals), Tony Banks (keyboards), Mike Rutherford (bass/guitar), Anthony Phillips (guitar), and Chris Stewart (drums). The band's name was suggested by former student and pop impresario Jonathan King, who also produced their first album, "From Genesis to Revelation" in 1969. This debut album did not achieve commercial success, leading to a parting of ways with King. After several lineup changes, the band's stable formation in the early 1970s included Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, with new additions Steve Hackett (guitar) and Phil Collins (drums). This lineup propelled Genesis into the forefront of progressive rock with albums like "Nursery Cryme" (1971) and "Foxtrot" (1972). "Foxtrot" featured the epic 23-minute track "Supper's Ready," which became one of the band's signature pieces. Their 1973 album, "Selling England by the Pound," further cemented their reputation, containing fan favorites like "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)." The band's most ambitious project during Gabriel's tenure was "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" (1974), a double concept album telling the story of Rael. However, following this album, Gabriel left Genesis in 1975 to pursue a solo career, leaving the band in a precarious situation. Phil Collins stepped into the role of lead vocalist for their next album, "A Trick of the Tail" (1976), which was a commercial success, proving Genesis could thrive post-Gabriel. Steve Hackett left the band in 1977, reducing Genesis to a trio of Collins, Banks, and Rutherford. This lineup transitioned Genesis from progressive rock to a more accessible pop-rock sound, achieving significant commercial success during the 1980s with albums like "Duke" (1980), "Abacab" (1981), and "Invisible Touch" (1986), the latter spawning multiple hit singles. Phil Collins left in 1996 after the successful "We Can't Dance" (1991) to focus on his solo career, leading to the recruitment of Ray Wilson as the new frontman for "Calling All Stations" (1997). However, this album did not replicate the commercial success of previous efforts, leading to a hiatus. Genesis reunited for the "Turn It On Again" tour in 2007 with the classic lineup of Collins, Banks, and Rutherford and again for "The Last Domino?" tour in 2021. Genesis has sold between 100 to 150 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. They've been recognized with a Grammy Award, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, and numerous other awards for their contributions to music across their extensive career.
I am so glad I saw Genesis so many times in their prime. I know its great that Phil got out their on the road with his band members but its time now to take care of himself as music as he loves the music and as brilliant as he is its important to take care of himself.
Saw this tour in North Carolina and wow... incredible. Thank you for taking the time to memorialize the show with the painstaking work of stitching together these videos. Great audio quality, editing, and final product. Thank you friend!
that was something special to watch Phil leave a stage, most likely for the last time, Genesis or solo. I think he thought that himself since he took a bit more time to say goodbye
Thanks for putting this video together. It's much appreciated. I think all of the comments about Phil's health are overlooking one major thing - Mike and Tony are on top form still, and it was great to see them still playing these great songs. I saw them on this tour twice and loved every second of it. I think Tony enjoyed it too, but I can't tell.
Tellement dur de voir Phil comme ça ! J ai pleuré à la fin de ce concert ..... une page se tourne , un beau livre se ferme ! Génésis , je vous aime !!!!
Beautiful to see Mike, Phil and Tony playing together (along with Daryl and Nick). Genesis, Phil, Mike + The Mechanics provided the soundtrack to important parts of my life. I had to privilege of seeing Genesis live at Dodger Stadium and Phil Collins live in Houston. The music will live on. Thank you Mike, Phil and Tony!!!
I'm 57 and Genesis have been a constant for about 45 of those years. This band means so much to me: my 6 years in the U.K. Forces, my 4 years at University, my dear brother's death (he who ignited my love of Genesis all those years ago), meeting and losing the only woman i loved in my life.....etc, etc, etc. I've seen Genesis twice and have all the vinyl and cassettes. 'Seconds out' vinyl will be buried with me and 'For absent friends' will conclude my funeral service! Meantime, thanks Phil, Steve, Chester, Tony and all the boys. A MASSIVE thanks.
I saw the tour in Charlotte NC. I had a blast hadn't seen them since 1986 in nHouston Texas. I spent a great deal of money and the best seats. I will never forget this last show.
Love and appreciation for Phil, Mike and Tony, but with due respect, as a 50 yr old Genesis fan, I choose the Wembley 1987 live concert as the memory I will always cherish when remembering them.
People were actually upset about Phil doing these gigs. To me I felt that he knows he is up there in age with health issues and this tour gave him the drive to work. I am proud of him for doing this! I really think he needed this and I am glad he did it!
Great ...
the important thing is that he ENJOYED himself doing it! Why the heck shouldn't he? good on him, big respect for wanting to ♥
Well said!!!👏👏👏💞💞💞

He gave us his all, and all that is left is in that chair! I've got nothing but love respect and appreciation for all he has accomplished
God bless you for stating facts as I see them too!
🤝
One of the most proud and sad moments of music. A very privilege to see the three of them playing and giving us their last Genesis force.
Very Sad - Old age, it gets us all eventually
When I was a young l had no use for Genesis or their radio popish hits. Years later I was relaxing in my yard enjoying a drink and such when I heard "Scenes from a night's dream". Of course that's from And then there were three. I was hooked. I've been a die hard Genesis ever since. Even including "A lamb lies down". Long live one of the 5 best bands ever. God bless you all.
Remember there was five sad no more tour's been nice to see Pete and steve there for a few numbers
Genesis one of the best bands in history
Not one of. THE BEST IN HISTORY!!!
I love you, sir Phil Collins!
Absolutely magical. We are all getting old. I am going on 75 and have been a genesis fan forever. Pure magic thankyou guys for being in my life
For a lifelong fan this is mind boggling on so many levels. Love these guys so much. Phil pulled it off amazingly. Excellent production overall. We’re going to miss this band, one of the greatest of the rock genre. 😢
Phil must be really proud of his son. Playing just like his father in his glory days. An absolutely impressive drummer
I'm looking forward to what he'll do in his own music career.
Very bittersweet. You can see how much Phil misses playing the drums, and you can also see his pride watching Nick playing the parts that he created. I wish them all the best. I too will always remember them as I saw them back "in the day", and we were very blessed to be able to see them then. Thanks for all of the wonderful music and memories guys!
Our bodies wither in time , but the music will never die , thank you guys for giving me music for a lifetime
Tears, tears, tears... Dear Sir Collins, thank you so much for 50 years of hapiness!
God bless Phil for this. Of this epic set list, I think Duchess was the most emotional.
Thanks Tony, Mike, Phill, Steve, Peter, Chester, Daryl, Anthony, Ray... from the bottom of my heart and soul. Until the last day of my life i´ll listen GENESIS, and I will leave this world grateful for life and music.
Well said
Where do you see Chester?
Totalmente
You forgot Ray Wilson! The last one to carry on with Genesis Songs live…and with Ray it also sounds better
Thanks to the "other" Anthony too, for Trespass!

I had seen Genesis in 87... I was at the last concert in Paris... very emotional. A page turns. We all had tears in our eyes (Google machine translation, sorry I don't speak English well enough)
Oh yes you do , nothing else to say
It was back in '76-'77, when a friend of mine came knocking at my door holding the SEBTP album and as soon I opened the door he goes, "You've got to listen to this shit!" He was paying me back for having introduced him to Yes. Afterward, I went to every record shop looking for every Genesis album I could find and their body of work was simply outstanding. What they did after Gabriel, and after Hackett, was just as spectacular. It is very, very sad to see them come to an end but the legacy they left will live on until the end of the world. I'm so happy to have been there for every bit of it.
Had a chance to hear Selling England by the Pound right when it came out in 73 . Still one of my all time favorite albums . It reminds me of my High School days .
We were moving from NY to Texas it was a three day drive back in 1976 my older brother had just got Wind and Wuthering on 8 track, we listened to it over and over the whole trip, I was hooked since then.
I just find it amazing that Genesis lasted so long...Over 50 years talk about rolling with the punches life gives you. This has and always been my favorite band. I think that they lasted so long was they all got to go out on their own then came back to the magic. my favorite song if I had to pick is "beyond the silver rainbow" and the 100's others they wrote. also because I am from and live in NYC " I want Back in NYC played......I just loved in the early 80's how us students attached ourselves to a band example {Rolling Stones ,the Who.. Led z} to define us. I believe Genesis and Peter touched my soul the next thing that happened the school was listening to Face Value .. 3 sides live and seconds out. John Patrick
3SJL209 - In the absence of a proper official release by the band, THIS is brilliant. Thanks for taking all the time and effort to put all these clips together to make the whole concert !
THX!:)
I second that. I saw them in Newcastle the previous year, (just before one of the crew? got covid), so I count myself lucky. Having seen them through the years, including Phil's solo tours, I wasn't going to miss "one more night" !!
@@jtlampsu2 ... including Six Of The Best?
@@richardconnold5207 Afraid not, I was abroad, then.
@@jtlampsu2 Shame. There are decent boots, which I'm sure you've heard.
Mike was really kicking it on this tour!
I love you Phill Collins, thank you so much for every songs, feelings and emotions what your had made a long for years!!!!! You are eternal!!! Tanks a lot for Genesis and solo career !!!!!! Kisses from Brazil👏👏👏👏👏🌹
Go phil go 🙏🏻 one of my heroes 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 bless u with love ad light amazing tour .
This could have been called the Thanks For the Memories Tour. I think that’s why fans went. Goodbye to a band who played a huge role in their lives. Yeah, it’s sad, but also a real farewell, love you, well done. Poor health and poor finances forced me to miss this. I salute my favorite band. None of us who started loving Genesis are the same 40-50 years later. I love them all, especially Tony, my inspiration as a keyboard player. Thanks for posting this.
Hope your health and finances have improved. There is only 1 band. Love them forever. Supper's Ready? Oh good, I'm starving.......x
I didnt realise you had used my fottage in this montage, thanks for the credit and amazing job of putting this all together. Forever Genesis
For here below these sacred stones of ROCK lie the great lords, the long lost purveyors of stories old, enchanted tales told with lyrical melody, vast stretches of atmospheric harmonies, Orwellian dystopias, fire from their fingertips, all with the grace and majesty of kings. Well done lads.
Love Genesis
Great it's no end it's the génesis new day!
How they used to be, definitely not now - painful to hear and watch Phil
I so, agree, with you!
@@martinpowell5769 I agree it's heartbreaking to listen to Phil now his health is bad now bless him, an amazing musician, been a Phil Collins fan since he joined Genesis much respect to him for doing the shows.
And don't love Kokaine😏
I actually started getting tears in my eyes watching Phil leave the stage for the very last time.
His funny personality is what I love about him. It made me tear up too. You’re not alone. He’s a legend.
You did better than me, when they broke into Carpet Crawlers, my favorite song, I lost it.
Similar to the tears Mike and Tony cried when he laughingly dumped them. He was a bit naughty wasn't he? Having your cake and eating it?
Heal be back 🎉
This band will live forever. Incredibly multi facetted, and frankly the greatest, IMO.
Agree!
@@reesebrindle1809 Me too!! Great compositions, the best in rock history IMHO. No one reached the same level in a bunch of records from Nursery crime to Wind and wuthering
Quel bonheur d y assister quelques jours avant à Amsterdam ! Genesis for ever !
I have got so much respect for Phil,it is just beyond imagination....Thank you for being a part of my youth,I will never forget Genesis !!!!
Being in my sixtees,I still love to play Genesis from time to time,...I hope to do it for a long time still ;)
@@ronjansen2391 I just turned 60 and like a good cigar, nice cold Heineken and Genesis almost every night in my garage and my neighbors even comment on my great taste in music. Saw them from 1976-2007..👍😎
I looked up the meaning of the word 'Epic' and it took me to this video.
Fantastic, as a lifelong Genesis fan, this is still great to watch. A fitting sendoff to a legendary band.
A superb band that will be sadly missed.
Thank you, uploader, for keeping this piece of history for us all to enjoy.
I was there that night: it was an amazing gig, and a real privilege to see my favourite band of all time playing for the last time. I was too young to see Genesis in their heyday, but I grew up loving their music. I was able to take my then 8yr old with me to this gig (it was the first gig she'd ever been too) and she sang along to every song they played. Thank you so much for putting this together. I have loved watching it (and I can't wait to show it to my kids)
Ah love your message ❤
Love this- great memories of a spectacular night. Such energy in the venue. PC had become the Musical Box character that PG used to perform 50 years earlier. NC on the kit was ace. MR; TB and DS still playing better than ever.
Well, I became musician because of Genesis. Watching this show drove me into tears! Phil Collins is an amazing drummer and his son replaced him doing a great job, his so gifted as his dad! Thank you Genesis for all the performances delivered to the audience! Thanks, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, Steve Hackett, Daryl Stuemer, Peter Gabriel, Chester Thompson and Nick Collins! ❤
After 53 years they gave the best they could as always, first of all Phil..oh man i feel so bad seeing him so suffering.. Insane performance of Tony Banks
I see many comments talking about "Not wanting to see them like this"...
I think this final tour wasn't about US seeing THEM, but more about them seeing US for one last time.
One last chance to show THEM our appreciation for their (collective) contributions to music, and {more personally) for being a part of our life's soundtrack...
Gensis are indeed living legends, thank you for the music...
I showed them my appreciation after every concert and was always hoarse for days from singing and cheering and saw them 75 times from 1976-2007 so just because even if it was the last time and it was because they wanted to see US and not US seeing Them it's still not how I want to remember my favorite band and Genesis always will be.
Reality check, it's about the band making money from ticket sales.
@@themobseat Probably...
But I'm okay with that after enjoying their music for half a century 👍🏼
I'll never forget the times listening to Nursery Cryme and Selling England by the Pound at my friend's mansion in Atherton ,CA . For a desperately lonely teenage boy , the music soaked right into me . Thanks Genesis!
@@themobseat exactly!
Spectacular job 3SJL209, my deepest congratulations from Buenos Aires (Argentina) for allowing us to experience a taste of what was the (I hope not) last night of one of the greatest band of all times, but mostly for letting us feel moved by the love and admiration that Phil inspires, not only as Genesis fans around the world, but also to humanity
Thanks, it was quite some editing. :) The soundtrack I was lucky to get in a pretty good quality from another uploader.
Thank You for Your Service to ALL Genesis Fans!!! I appreciate it. (I saw them in Pittsburgh and Boston)
Firth of Fifth! One of the most powerful progressive rock tunes ever featuring the extraordinary Daryl Sturmer: one of the world's greatest guitarists!!! Love. Sheer fukin love...
Thanks for putting this together. It was fantastic. Thanks to Genesis for entertaining me.
This was a fun project! :)
@@3SJL209 You did excellent work.
Sad to see Phil so ill, and unable to drum, but we thank him, and this wonderful band who, in its various manifestations, have delighted us for decades.
42 years ago (holy crap!) I saw Genesis at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto in '81 during the Abacab tour. My first major venue concert. Where have the years gone?
Thank you for doing this video. It must have taken ages to do, but very worthwhile. I have seen Genesis 20 or more over the past 50 year (yes, 50 years!). I was there that final, Saturday, night. A very sad but fitting farewell.
Give just a show to me, i never got the chance to see them, but i've seen Phil live and was amazing!
Big respect for Genesis. And all bend members.
I love you Phil Collins.
Genesis
A band of amazing talent performing amazing songs.
After Genesis bows out, there will be a great big hole in millions of the hearts of best fans ever!
Thank you for putting this film of the last show together, superbly done! It's great to be able to re-live those O2 nights taking me back to the mid seventies when my older brother force fed me Trespass and Nursery Cryme and turning me into the huge Genesis fan that I grew up to be along with the other 5,096 people who have viewed this great piece of film and editing work. Thank you. And thank you Genesis for providing us all with the soundtrack of our lives.
I recently saw an Interview with phil Collins where he talked about the lamb lies down on Broadway Tour. He said:> I smoked a small Stick and than Played it , enjoing myself and that's it
Great comment about the greatest performer ever and agree 110%..👍 Cheers from the United States
Recibo este último show como lo que es, una despedida, la última vez que vamos a ver a nuestros ídolos reunidos. No buscaba encontrar lo mismo de los años 70 y hecho, se me hizo muy difícil ver a Phil en este estado. Pero rescato sus ganas y su entrega de siempre. Sabemos lo afectado de salud que está y aún estuvo dispuesto a darnos una última vez y ese es el Phil que es responsable junto a Tony, Mike, Steve y Peter de la mitad y más del soundtrack de mi vida. Sí, duele, pero sé que Phil no se arrepiente de haber vivido todo con Génesis como lo hizo... Grande Génesis, eterno Phil Collins por siempre! ❤
Thank you Genesis. You are the soundtrack of my youth until to this day. I grew up with Genesis’ songs. I formed a band tribute to Genesis with high school friends. And watching you guys in DC last year was just like a dreams coming true… I could sing along your tunes with you the original band. Greetings from Indonesia
Always THE BEST !!!! Thanks for all GENESIS ...
I grew up with YOU and I thank you for that
4:34 AM and I'm bawling my eyes out. Love these beautiful people so much. Thank you for all the music Genesis.
Fading Lights and Carpet Crawlers were the most powerful moments for me in these shows. So glad they had one more go round! Future is still uncertain! Love you Phil!
Genesis best band ever absolute LEGENDS
My heart breaks yet my joy and gratitude abounds forever.. Thank you Genesis
I was on all three shows of the final tour in Cologne. The sound in Cologne was fantastic and blew me away and i am happy to find your video showing it too. Thks a lot for your efforts.
Thanks for uploading this. The look on Tony's face as they bowed was hard to take. At a very young age he was aware of the fragility of the music business (Many Too Many, Duchess, etc...), and yet he and his mates made it for over 50 years. Still, the end had to have been hard for him. He's one of the most underrated musicians of all time IMO, and Genesis has been a favorite of mine for a very long time.
All I can say is .....Thank You Phil you gave me some amazing music that whenever I hear it brings me back to some fantastic times in my life. We rarely get to observer so much talent. Your a master musician that will be missed.
...eine Ära geht zu Ende mit viel Wehmut und Trauer Phil Collins so zu sehen !!
Awsome job !!! Broke me to tears (watching Phil so helpless and on the same time his son doing a great job ) A part of a journej is it's end.. :( Thank You so much makin this
I saw them in Paris the previous week. It was a privilege. Truly one of the greatest groups ever.
I have fond memories of seeing many shows with Genesis and Phil's solo tours. As these musicians age it will be expected health issues will prevent them from touring. Eventually bands from the 1960s and 70s will face this. The Who, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Peter Gabriel, Fleetwood Mac, and others will eventually cease to tour. But they have left us with such great music that will endure for decades.
Saw them 36 yrs ago in Leeds...the power went except for the microphones apparently and Phil filled in the gap with an impromptu stand up routine.... he was brilliant! So glad that I saw this....sad yet such an honourable way to say goodbye.
Watching the three of them bow and then walk off the stage for the last time...that was tough.
My ticket was originally for April 2021. Following two cancellations and rearranged dates, I was by fate at this final Last Domino, the Last Show. What a special night and when Phil announced that this was the final Genesis show, an amazing vide exploded round the O2. The Fading Lights was a poignant song but , the semi acoustic Follow You Follow Me , a wonderful memory to begin all the memories of Genesis. Stay With me……. we will Phil, and Tony and Mike. And Darryl, Nic, Chester too.
Shared in honor of Genesis
Genesis is an English rock band formed in 1967 at Charterhouse School, Godalming, Surrey, by schoolmates Peter Gabriel (vocals), Tony Banks (keyboards), Mike Rutherford (bass/guitar), Anthony Phillips (guitar), and Chris Stewart (drums). The band's name was suggested by former student and pop impresario Jonathan King, who also produced their first album, "From Genesis to Revelation" in 1969. This debut album did not achieve commercial success, leading to a parting of ways with King.
After several lineup changes, the band's stable formation in the early 1970s included Peter Gabriel, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford, with new additions Steve Hackett (guitar) and Phil Collins (drums). This lineup propelled Genesis into the forefront of progressive rock with albums like "Nursery Cryme" (1971) and "Foxtrot" (1972). "Foxtrot" featured the epic 23-minute track "Supper's Ready," which became one of the band's signature pieces. Their 1973 album, "Selling England by the Pound," further cemented their reputation, containing fan favorites like "I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe)."
The band's most ambitious project during Gabriel's tenure was "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway" (1974), a double concept album telling the story of Rael. However, following this album, Gabriel left Genesis in 1975 to pursue a solo career, leaving the band in a precarious situation.
Phil Collins stepped into the role of lead vocalist for their next album, "A Trick of the Tail" (1976), which was a commercial success, proving Genesis could thrive post-Gabriel. Steve Hackett left the band in 1977, reducing Genesis to a trio of Collins, Banks, and Rutherford. This lineup transitioned Genesis from progressive rock to a more accessible pop-rock sound, achieving significant commercial success during the 1980s with albums like "Duke" (1980), "Abacab" (1981), and "Invisible Touch" (1986), the latter spawning multiple hit singles.
Phil Collins left in 1996 after the successful "We Can't Dance" (1991) to focus on his solo career, leading to the recruitment of Ray Wilson as the new frontman for "Calling All Stations" (1997). However, this album did not replicate the commercial success of previous efforts, leading to a hiatus. Genesis reunited for the "Turn It On Again" tour in 2007 with the classic lineup of Collins, Banks, and Rutherford and again for "The Last Domino?" tour in 2021.
Genesis has sold between 100 to 150 million albums worldwide, making them one of the best-selling music artists of all time. They've been recognized with a Grammy Award, induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2010, and numerous other awards for their contributions to music across their extensive career.
I am so glad I saw Genesis so many times in their prime. I know its great that Phil got out their on the road with his band members but its time now to take care of himself as music as he loves the music and as brilliant as he is its important to take care of himself.
I’m so glad I saw Genesis in the 80’s.
Saw this tour in North Carolina and wow... incredible. Thank you for taking the time to memorialize the show with the painstaking work of stitching together these videos. Great audio quality, editing, and final product. Thank you friend!
My pleasure! :)
that was something special to watch Phil leave a stage, most likely for the last time, Genesis or solo. I think he thought that himself since he took a bit more time to say goodbye
Thanks for putting this video together. It's much appreciated. I think all of the comments about Phil's health are overlooking one major thing - Mike and Tony are on top form still, and it was great to see them still playing these great songs. I saw them on this tour twice and loved every second of it. I think Tony enjoyed it too, but I can't tell.
Tellement dur de voir Phil comme ça ! J ai pleuré à la fin de ce concert ..... une page se tourne , un beau livre se ferme ! Génésis , je vous aime !!!!
Fanatstic audio quality - thank you ! Love this band - they are legends.
I grew up listening to their music since the early 70s and have always loved this group!
Still the best there is. Thank you for so many great memories. Bless you.
Beautiful to see Mike, Phil and Tony playing together (along with Daryl and Nick). Genesis, Phil, Mike + The Mechanics provided the soundtrack to important parts of my life. I had to privilege of seeing Genesis live at Dodger Stadium and Phil Collins live in Houston. The music will live on. Thank you Mike, Phil and Tony!!!
Que felicidade assistir Phil de volta com Genesis! Grande show!
It’s been a long ride thanks for all music guys you mean’s very much to the hole world what a wonderful band 😢
Wow 🤩 such an amazing performance 😎 & Nick looks just like his father and is also an awesome drummer just like him too!
I'm 57 and Genesis have been a constant for about 45 of those years. This band means so much to me: my 6 years in the U.K. Forces, my 4 years at University, my dear brother's death (he who ignited my love of Genesis all those years ago), meeting and losing the only woman i loved in my life.....etc, etc, etc.
I've seen Genesis twice and have all the vinyl and cassettes.
'Seconds out' vinyl will be buried with me and 'For absent friends' will conclude my funeral service!
Meantime, thanks Phil, Steve, Chester, Tony and all the boys.
A MASSIVE thanks.
MUSICA ETERNA
The joy these fellas have given me over the years is pretty much incalcuable. Long may it continue. Cheers fellas.
I saw the tour in Charlotte NC. I had a blast hadn't seen them since 1986 in nHouston Texas. I spent a great deal of money and the best seats. I will never forget this last show.
Love and appreciation for Phil, Mike and Tony, but with due respect, as a 50 yr old Genesis fan, I choose the Wembley 1987 live concert as the memory I will always cherish when remembering them.
Nic - you must be so immensely proud of your truly inspirational and 'innovative' father - as I'm sure he is of you!
I listened to this whilst sleeping on the floor in the lounge giving palliative care to my baby Tigercat. It brings back memories ❤
