About
Phil Collins in Concert
Born in West London in 1951, Phil Collins started playing drums at the age of five. His musical career began in earnest when he joined Genesis as a drummer in 1970, later becoming the group's lead vocalist in 1975 when Peter Gabriel departed. In 1981, he launched his solo career, releasing a string of pop albums that catapulted him to the immense profile he enjoys today. Phil Collins has released eight studio albums over the course of his solo career, along with three compilations, two soundtracks and more than forty singles. Of Collins' many releases, his third studio album, No Jacket Required, secured his greatest acclaim. It features notable tracks like "Sussudio" and "One More Night," both of which have received countless pop-culture references throughout the years. Collins is one of the legends of the 1970s and 1980s, a member of the Songwriter's Hall Of Fame, Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, Modern Drummer Hall Of Fame and a musical influence to later musicians like Mike Portnoy, Taylor Hawkins, Nick D'Virgilio and many others.
Former Genesis member Phil Collins has achieved a level of solo success few others can claim. Collins' tour dates, such as his 2017 Not Dead Yet Tour, have seen him travel the United Kingdom. Other tours, like his 1997 The Trip Into The Light Of The World Tour, his 1985 No Jacket Required Tour, and 1983 Hello, I Must Be Going Tour, have taken him throughout Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania. As a solo act, Phil Collins is praised for his brilliant Pop songwriting, laced with elements from the other genres in which he's fluent like jazz, rock and fusion. His strong vocals, intricate drum parts and generous use of 1980s-style keyboard synths add to the richness of his sound. In concert, audiences can marvel as Collins sits majestically, belting out hits while his large band provides ample accompaniment. Collins' son Nicholas is often present, dazzling crowds with drumming just as impressive as his father's. Phil Collins' music has garnered impressive numbers. His albums have sold more than 150 million units worldwide. He's been nominated for more than 20 Grammy Awards. He's won 7 Grammys, along with various American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Brit Awards (and more) as he continues to record and perform across the globe.
In 2015, Collins remastered his eight solo albums with previously unreleased material and came out of retirement. In 2017, he started The Not Dead Yet Tour, named after his autobiography released in 2016. After many tour legs around the world, Collins is coming back to the U.S. for 15 dates.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Rating: 5 out of 5 Phil Collins was awesome as usual!
by mpostman on 6/21/10The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaWhat a wonderful show. Phil and the band did right by those fabulous Motown songs. The band sounded awesome and considering this was the first time they had done this show live before an audience it was spot on. It was standing room only, no seats except up stairs in the bar/balcony area. I was six people from the stage. Absolutely fantastic!
Rating: 2 out of 5 Love Phil and would have loved to hear more Phil
by smk5 on 6/21/10The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaI love Phil Collins but the show disappointed. The intimate setting was great place to see a talent like Phil Collins. His voice and the way he pours himself into the music were awesome but the show lacked Phil's usual charisma. While I understand his new album is featuring all Mo-town songs, it would have been nice if he mixed in a few of his songs. The fact that there was no encore at all was also a disappointment.

Rating: 4 out of 5 Phil goes Motown
by Chancellor9 on 6/21/10The Electric Factory - PhiladelphiaPhil and his big band including the surviving members of the Funk Brothers tried out the new album at the Electric Factory. Despite the fact that the venue is old and tired as was the crowd, Phil was in good voice. The band was terrific. The back up singers rivaled anything that you would see in a good old fashioned Motown review. Phil's song choices did leave something to be desired however his musicianship made up for it.

by vintageshavingshoppe on 6/3/10Everywhere - EverywhereThe first time I saw Phil was at Forest Hill Tennis Center in NYC with Genesis. Since then, i have seen every tour of Genesis and Phil Collins. Every now and then God gives a special gift to the world. Phil was one of those gifts. Phil, I have been a fan for nearly 40 years. Your music has always been there for me and has been the soundtrack of my life. May you live and perform to 120

by CerebralWorld on 4/22/10Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Giants stadium. - New YorkI've seen Phil perform now four times, twice with Genesis and twice solo. He is my favorite musician of all time. His masterful performances are always great to see and I'm just as excited to see him again as I was years ago.
