Fish with Phil Collins and Paul Carrack - Kayleigh (1988)
Pretty sweet performance which includes Phil Collins on drums and one Paul Carrack on keys.
Massive crowd at Wembley, although Marillion Fish at that time were pretty big there.
Plus being the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday performance, it makes sense.

Phil Collins @ Target Center 10/21/18
So I managed to see Phil Collins last night at Target Center.
His 1st appearance in Minnesota since 1992 (with Genesis at the Metrodome), and 1st solo since 1983 (at of all places, Williams Arena).
The Genesis Minnesota curse?
-Peter Gabriel only came once, had sound problems, promised to come back.
-Steve Hackett having issues with people at Rossi's,
-Daryl Stuermer's concert getting canceled
-The Musical Box show getting canceled due to not getting the needing 2/3 of the tickets sold by a month before the show,
-Years later when they finally did come, it was poorly promoted and the guy who booked it lost quite a lot of money I guess.
But last night had really no issues like those.
The hits for the most part were fun. Easy Lover was a ton of fun and as much of a sing-along as I love the studio and video version for. The Philip Bailey parts were done really well by Phil's backup singers.
Follow You, Follow Me almost had me in tears; which I suppose the video montage of the Genesis history, including much with Peter Gabriel added to that.
In the Air Tonight is a showstopper and probably was the biggest of the night. As much as it's one I've heard 1000 times, to see the man sing it and have it performed live (especially the drum part) I had chills to finally see.
And like when seeing Stevie Wonder a few years back, just seeing him finally live, meant a lot to me. Even if he wasn't playing the drums and had to use a Cain, which I guess was due to a recent back surgery.
He sadly can't play drums anymore, and his voice isn't what it once was, but as screechy as it sounds, it still is in key and sounds good enough to still enjoy live.
However, he did participate in the drum duo/trio (with his son, and the other percussionist) on hand drums which that itself was surreal.
I suppose the main thing I can take away from this show that was less than thrilling;
At least 1/3, maybe 1/2 of the show was Big Band driven, which to be honest, hurt some of the mix with the vocals. Also the Phil Big Band stuff is more of the Pop-Jazz variety which I can't say I love.
Overall, since I wasn't sure if I was going to see this show per the price of tickets were through the roof of course, and in trying to watch my budget along with Rocktober and the bevvy of other concerts around this time (Josh Rouse, Soft Machine, Martin Barre, Cream, Alan Parsons Project), I am certainly happy I got to go last night. As this may be the only time to ever see him or for that matter any of the Genesis members live, especially in Minnesota again.
Even despite that, it would have been cool to see him wear his often-seen-in-the-past Minnesota Northstars jersey.
Also Daryl Stuermer was there, which in a way felt like seeing another member of Genesis. And Phil's 17 year old son Nick, is on his way to living up to his dad's drumming legacy which was cool.

Phil Collins - 2018 North American Tour (incl Minneapolis!)
I've never seen him nor Gabriel (nor Rutherford nor Banks actually, only Hackett), and I would assume he won't do much if any Genesis, and if at all, it likely would be the 80's stuff (Invisible Touch).
But I would be up for just seeing him once, even if he isn't playing drums.
And oddly, the wife does enjoy his solo and some of the 80's Genesis stuff namely, so she would be up for going.
And honestly, if the tix are 100+, it will feel more worthwhile to see him than spend that much for Janelle Monae actually, right now. This may be the only chance I ever get to see him, so why not spend a bit more if necessary? I know he's not really a bucket list name for me, but Genesis if they were together certainly are. Gabriel solo too, but he hasn't come back to Minnesota since 2002 and I was in Atlanta seeing Pain of Salvation that very night unfortunately.
Looking forward to October 21st. Will he be wearing a Minnesota Northstars Jersey again?

Phil Collins + Mike and Tony (but not Peter) Tour in 2017? (Genesis reunion)
Not sure how to treat this.
a) The search per Google ends showing a Post Date of July, 17, 2010. However I don't see a date on the story, and the comments are new at the bottom.
b) assuming this is true, no Peter Gabriel of course isn't surprising, but disappointing, and the same about Steve Hackett of course.
c) even if this does happen, odds are it won't hit Minnesota of course. But that also remains to be announced. If somehow it does, I will certainly try and go.
d) Gabriel's quote is of course hard to get all that excited for since beyond the 1 new song from that soundtrack, no new material really has come in recent years. And the I/O hope seems low as well, but I recall Peter said something about the songs written for that album don't really hold up now in an interview a few years ago.
Societyrock.com
"According to reports, Phil Collins will reunite with some of the members of his old band Genesis for an epic reunion tour! He is planning the tour for next year and reports are saying that rehearsals have already gotten underway! Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford wil be going to join Phil for the tour, but former frontman Peter Gabriel will not."
Peter Gabriel has revealed this: "Tomy, Mike and Phil are rehearsing now. I'm not involved in this round or this year. I haven't ruled out the possibility of doing something in the future, but right now I'm going to focus on my own work."

Random Artist Feature: Genesis
8/10/16 6:21AM
Parts 2 and 3. A phone call derailed part 2, but it also forced it to not be as long, etc. I also am borrowing slightly from Ministry of Music's "Album Review" title.
As I mention and label them, these are now called "Artist Review" as it sort of works better. I also include some comments about other channels and upcoming Artist Reviews.
I unfortunately forgot to mention something about Daryl Stuermer. O well.

So this is the start of a few bigger name collection/vinyl/anecdotes series on YouTube.
There's a deeper commentary about what I'm trying with these right now, etc, but I'll just say for now, I am hoping by making videos about more well known artists, these videos (and thus other videos I've made/will make by lesser known artists) will be seen.
Why in a series? obviously, the discographies are so long, the videos would end up 30 or more mins.
Why not all at once? I'm just sampling here..and it's kind of a cool, more *random* way to do this.

Genesis: Together and Apart: New Reunion Documentary coming from the BBC
9/26/14 9:14AM
http://prog.teamrock.com/news/2014-09-25/genesis-reveal-documentary-date
October 4th, BBC2 9:15PM
I wonder if/when BBC America will be airing it? Trailer?

Genesis and the BBC have been working together over the last few months on GENESIS: TOGETHER AND APART
A feature length documentary on one of the most successful bands in rock history. From its first beginnings as a band of songwriters in the late 1960s to its final incarnation as a rock giant in the 1990s – via full-blown theatrical progressive rock in the mid-1970s and the subtler jazzy pop of the early 1980s – Genesis could perplex and enrage the die-hards, whilst exciting and exhilarating the newer disciples.
Made with the full co-operation of Genesis, the film reunites all original members of the band together – Tony Banks, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Steve Hackett, Mike Rutherford – for the first time since 1975.
The film recounts an extraordinary musical story, exploring the band’s songwriting as well as emotional highs and lows, alongside previously unseen archive material and rare performance footage across their entire career.
Transmission date to be confirmed.
Not that there haven't been other documentaries that included the 5 guys, namely just the doc Genesis: A History that came out in 1991 as well as the docs that came with the Remasters Boxed Set.
I but suppose a fully in-depth/proper documentary might warrant interest, including sort of what their legacy and influence has become in the last 20+ years. Maybe stuff like The Musical Box and the Rock Hall inductions may be included.
Kevin Gilbert? kind of doubtful, but who knows if anyone involved at the BBC knows he was supposed to audition around the time of his death.
I suppose just having the 5 guys all together, in 1 room? reminiscing, etc could add something new no matter, even for nostalgia's sake.. Plus I would be curious who all the BBC may get to interview, people from Marillion? Steven Wilson? members of Yes, etc
Will it lead to a reunion show/tour or even recording? pretty doubtful of course.
I would like to believe they will include the likes of Anthony Phillips and some of the other ex-members (even Ray Wilson and Nick D'Virgilio), but who knows about that.
