I saw Genesis when they did their "Invisible Touch" tour I think in 1987. I thought Phil Collins was in very poor health.

Land of Confusion was an entertaining anti-Regan production.

At least they are old enough that they will hire others to beat the $hit out of Phil Collins.

Time has not been kind to yesterday’s rockers.

But even so, I have enjoyed playing Genesis’ “In The Air Tonight” over the years, often pairing it with “Silent Running” from Mike And The Mechanics because the thematic tone meshes.

The trio -- the band's classic line-up

Sorry, no - the band's classic lineup had Peter Gabriel on lead vocals and Steve Hackett on guitar. As a former kid who used to carefully draw the Genesis logo from "Lamb Lies Down" on my middle school desktop, I know.

I saw Genesis in Atlanta. At the Omni, believe it or not. They had Chester Thompson as a second drummer.

Do you like phil collins? Been a big genesis fan, ever since the release of their 1980 album, duke. Before that i didnt really understand any of their work, it was too artsy, too intellectual...it was on duke where uh, phil collins presence became more apparent...i think invisible touch is the group’s undisputed masterpiece, its an epic meditation on intangibility at the same time it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding 3 albums...christy, take off the robe... listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of banks, collins and rutherford you can practically hear every nuonce of every instrument, sabrina...remove your dress, in terms of lyrical craftsmenship and sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism, sabrina why dont you uh, dance a little! take the lyrics to “Land of Confusion”, in this song, phil collins adresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980’s, about monogomy and commitment, the song is extremely uplifting...their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as uh, anything ive heard in rock.

Have never understood the attraction of concerts. Have been to one in my life ... meh.
On the other hand, one of my sons (47 y/o) has probably been to 200+ and still goes!

One of the best concerts I’ve ever been to. Dallas ... Reunion Arena ... maybe 1987ish? That was one heck of a show. Especially when Phil Collins and Chester Thompson started banging on the drums for what seemed like almost half an hour.

Just saw this!

After seeing Phil’s condition on his recent solo tour, I’m not sure how this is going to work.

Hopefully Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett can make some appearances.

i saw Genesis a half dozen times from 1978 through 1986...great band..

Collins is a high maintenance “artist”...his poor health comes from having accidents as a result of drinking to much..
