Genesis Live 2021 🡆 Mama 🡄 Sept 20 ⬘ Utilita Arena ⬘ Birmingham, UK

[@darrynhellofs]

Aging is a natural part of life. So is diminishing health. But, you embrace it, do the best you can...then press on. At this stage of his life, Phil's disabled. But, he's still active and relevant. And as a disabled person myself, that's all that any of us can hope for. An opportunity, understanding...and full acceptance. Perhaps this sets the stage for other disabled performers (actors, singers, etc.) to do the same. Because none of us will live forever, and none of will be 20 again. This is a real landmark moment...and I think it's very, very cool!

[@chadvandam7179]

You know, you have changed my mind! I was going to say once I get this song, someone please tell me to retire! I am almost 53 now and no eventually I am going to play all blues and bring my voice down song! Thank your dad for sure no problem it is true about being disabled! I am blind, and of course no one wants to drive around all my equipment since I can’t! I’ve been in a few with pumpkins! And I play and sing out on the streets and Seattle damn near every day! But it probably be much easier if I was a prick with a car!

[@deborahhogg3913]

Well said

[@treymerrill6993]

….and some people just age better than others. Both Mike and Tony are Phil’s age and they looked great. That being said, it was awesome seeing and hearing Phil and he was still fully capable of bringing the spirit and voice to the only Genesis show I’ll ever get to see. As a fellow drummer, I would have loved to have seen him play drums but that’s not in the cards anymore….and that’s alright. I will be forever grateful that I got to see him at all….and his son Nick was amazing!

[@kerrie2k]

Well said, I have both mental and physical health problems, I do feel sad when looking at Phil but that's because I'm a soppy empath as well, I'm glad he's not given up and is still writing, singing and touring, music is so important to a lot of people both those who make it and those who listen to it, it can help us mentally. He's a top bloke and him still doing his music is inspiring, I'm going to see about getting a keyboard next year, I would prefer drums but I can't do that due to fibromyalgia, so I'm going to give the keyboard a go :)

[@WheresYourToque]

Inspires me the way he keeps pressing on, against all odds, it don't come easy .

Yes, Phil IS a monster❤

[@jimcunningham61]

Phil is a warrior for doing a song that requires a very high pitch

[@kelvyn_araujo]

Many people talking about Phil's voice, but some things have to be considered about that : - Phil's range today it's the same as Peter. The difference is the tone, while Peter has a deep hoarse voice (which is great), Phil has a more opened nasal tone, which also is great. - Phil has never been primarily a singer itself. He was a drummer which had to move on vocals after Peter's departure, doing the thing in the way he could (and his vocal range supported) after all these years, now he's 70 years old perfoming a vocal demanding material from years which his vocals were more high and youth, from 30/40 years old. - Phil now has a extra factor limiting his increased perfomance : he's singing while seated, which is something REALLY dificult to maintain tones and ranges, mainly due lungs compressed as he sits, an even greater difficulty for vocally difficult material like the Genesis catalogue. Even with all these topics going on, he's nailing it!! I really think that the "fans" should stop looking for faults, problems and other issues and appreciate the music he sings and all these material that he, Tony, Mike (and Peter and Steve too) have produced all these years. Unfortunately this is one of the last times we'll see them play on stage, so that's already epic. Genesis FOREVER!!!!

[@MagratheaLegend]

Very well put.

[@mikephillips8810]

I agree with all you say but i think he is also singing live over a backing track of himself singing. Just to give more depth to the voice. Many older performers do it (e.g. Roger Waters who is in better health than Phil)

@@mikephillips8810 Actually are the background singers of the tour. If you notice clearly, they are closely behind Mike and on the left side (in the video view) from Nic. The higher and sustained parts here are from them

[@jungan8579]

Saw this live this past week in concert. Yes he’s old, but aging is normal. Watching him live, no matter what condition he’s in, you could tell he was absolutely loving it and enjoying himself insanely. He was smiling to whole time and living in the moment. That’s what life is for! Love him and the band so much.

[@mikekaraoke]

Yea but not just about his age is it, I mean look at Mike + Tony up there! He has health issues, thought that was obvious!

[@GuaranteedEtern]

He’s the same age as Sting.

[@Music4mee1]

One of my fav. Genesis songs - vocally and instrumentality! I thought Phil sounded good considering his health. I think he did this one better here than Home By the Sea. This song is so powerful! Never gets old. lol. Glad Birmingham had great show! :)

[@highlife0586]

Genesis always had incredible light shows at their concerts. Phil's son is a chip off the old block really good drum work.

[@johnnyquest6115]

Genesis developed a light show where they could play dozens of colours at the same time. I've never seen anything like it until Tool showed up a few years later playing the entire concert venue as their playground.

I love Phil and admire him and his Sons effort.But I don't think you are hearing a fully live vocal performance in this video.His microphone is on but there is a prerecorded vocal track being used now.Notice how often he holds the mic far from his face !?

[@vividmoon666]

@@jymfysher7704 nah it isn't prerecorded. You do now than when you have a strong voice and you use it, then you HAVE to keep the mic a bit away from their mouth because you use so much pressure in the voice. Keeping the mic closer just disorts it and makes it sounds crappy. I sing too and most singers do this when they sing stronger not to "scream" directly into the mic

Jesus thanks for posting this Dead Mike, well done. Seen every Genesis tour since 1974, yep first tour seeing the entire "Lamb Lies Down On Broadway" with Peter in 1974 at the Berkeley Community Theater...seems like yesterday. Something about these guys just keeps me coming back........very simple why...cause they are fucking incredible live! Phil looks like he could be the Halloween guy that sits on your porch and when you come up, he has this dead pan look and says "You want some candy boys and girls" with that sinister look on his face. Still love the guy after all these years.

Are you nuts? This is terrible, and the song is dropped by 4 semitones because Phil can't reach the notes anymore, meaning it doesn't sound right. This is NOT in any way 'their finest hour ever'. Nope. Their finest hour was in the 80s and early 90s - check out videos of their live shows from that era.

Nobody but Phil and perhaps his bandmates know how he's feeling during all this, but one thing seems clear just from watching any performance in this farewell tour - it does not appear to be easy on Phil, and he's being incredibly brave to not only endure, but to pour all that he has into these last performances. He looks truly frail here and is clearly suffering through conditions, but ..... in true colors for Phil Collins, and in no way detracting from his truly talented bandmates - Phil has always been one to dig deep and leave everything on the field, no matter what. Thank you Phil, thank you Mike, thank you Tony, and thank you Genesis team for all the wonderful years of music.

MAMA by far my fave Genesis track.

I agree that it is tough to see such a great singer reduced to having to sing in just one key and let the back up singers hit all the difficult notes. Too bad his health is just in such decline.
