Customer Reviews

Phil Collins at his best!
Finally, this great concert is released on dvd. I have the vhs and I've played it to death. This concert never gets old or boring. I put it on so I can listen to it while doing housework but I always end up sitting and watching it or just dancing all around the house. It's a joy to hear a real musician play real music instead of all that sampled stuff that's out today.

There is no lip synching or canned music here. Phil and the band give an all out performance. So much so that you can see how tired he is as the show is coming to an end and he sits down on stage to finish his last song. You don't want to miss the drum duet by Phil and Chester. It's one of the high points in the concert. This dvd is a must have even if you've never heard of Phil Collins.

The only quibble I have is the performance of "You can't hurry Love". I can do without it but you may love it. Even so, it's great to hear an artist that sounds as good out of the studio as he does in the studio. While Phil is no Mario Lanza, he can sing and he has good pitch. As I stated earlier, he and his band are a bunch of real musicians. The sound quailty is excellent. I was shocked at how good it sounded through my stereo. Sometimes, live concerts can sound a bit fuzzy. The camera work is excellent as well. Editing is smooth and captures the feel and the excitement of being there. You'll feel like you were there.

Please treat yourself to this dvd. It ROCKS!!!

Not his best but still fantastic.
Giving the full concert, these DVDs offer plenty of evidence for why Phil Collins must be considered one of the greatest entertainers and performers of the 80's and 90's. No less than 25 songs a featured in the set, hits as well as favorites from his new album, and even though there are a few missers and missings, this should offer anyone plenty of 80's nostalgia.

The performance is excellent without being Phil's best. I would at anytime recommand the Live And Loose In Paris DVD instead of this one - which is in fact probably his best live performance ever - but this doesn't meen that this concert isn't thoroughly enjoyable. In fact the performance of Take Me Home alone might be worth the purchase of the whole set, if you're into Phil's music - this traci brings new meening to the terms a-m-a-z-i-n-g and p-e-r-f-e-c-t. Must-see, must-hear, must-own. Other highlights include a wonderful versions of Do You Remember?, Doesn't Anybody Stay Together Anymore? and A Groovy Kind Of Love. Also, seing the 16.000 people of the crowd waving their hands in unison to the beat of Two Hearts is very impressing.

There are some drawbacks on this DVD. First of all, the sound is a bit sharp and metallic, even though this isn't as bad as on the CD release. On the visual side, the band is wearing some hideous dresses. Yes, I know, this is unimportant for the concert, but singer (?) Fred White is wearing a costume so lacking anything remote to good taste that I have to turn away from the screen everytime he's on (furthermore, he sounds most of all like a whorse crow). Also, the horn section Phil brought with him on this tour is not nearly as good as the one he used on the Dance Into The Light tour, as featured on the 1997 Live And Loose In Paris.

Finally, a note on the set-list. Pretty much all the hits are plyed here, but it's a pitty that songs like I Wish It Would Raing Down and Find A Way To My Heart were removed from the setlist at this part of the tour. Instead a pointless piese like Saturday Night And Sunday Morning was played. Also one might miss older favorites like I Don't Care Anymore, It Don't Matter To Me and You Know What I Meen - but then, the line would have to be drawn somewhere, and more than 2½ hours of music is pretty impressive.
