If Phil Collins isn't the hardest-working man in show business, he's right up there, at least if this nearly 90-minute concert is any indication. The man is nonstop motion, whether seated behind his drum kit, prowling the stage as frontman (the format is in-the-round, so it takes an effort to keep all of the arena-sized audience involved), or, of course, singing the hits (including "Against All Odds," "In the Air Tonight," and "Sussudio"). The "loose" part of the title is a bit of a misnomer; Collins's excellent band is unerringly tight, and the performance is well-choreographed while still maintaining some sense of spontaneity. There's no denying the appeal of Collins's drum-heavy, horn-driven, R&B-cum-world-music sound, and if his music ultimately isn't as challenging or engaging as that of Peter Gabriel, the other ex-Genesis lead singer, no one in this Paris audience seems to mind a bit. Good show, Phil. --Sam Graham

Customer Reviews

The way live concerts should be filmed
This is a supurb DVD with Collins at his best - in "the round"- with a full band - backing vocals, horns - the works.

Filmed in Paris, this is one of the finest concerts I've seen on DVD and I'm not even a huge Phil Collins fan. The director chose to position most of the cameras away from the stage so that you get the feel and sound as if you were there. The lighing is top notch. You get more energy from the performers and very little of the audience. It's way concerts should be filmed.

I highly recommned this as must buy if you're a Phil Collins fan or if you collect music concerts as I do. Get this DVD!

Phil is like fine wine...
Although the "entire" concert is not included, this DVD includes some of the best renditions of some of Phil's greatest work. There is no doubt that Phil is in a class all by himself when it comes to performing. He and his band seem to enjoy every song they perform and improve over past concert tours. Diehard Phil fanatics will enjoy "Long Long Way To Go" and the entire-band-on-the-drums "Timbantiocha," which you know Phil had to love writing. The stamina of Phil is incredible as you shall see throughout the video. A must for all Phil-fans!

Sell out show!
Magnificent performance by Phil and the group. The concert is a high energy performance featuring great video, good sound, and excitement. Several of the older songs are played as well as the newer ones. Great musicians accompany Phil in this unforgetable show in Paris.
